October is here, along with the exciting long weeked. Hard to believe that we are in the last 1/4th of 2009. Oh snap, I need to start shopping for Xmas! I also need to use up my Music Lessons.
Etoufee with a twist today. Introduced 3 new people to the Little Deli. Pretty exciting.

So I'm kinda mad about something I noticed. 3 times today, I've encountered people who have the Jesus fish stuck on the back of their car, yet they all had road rage. Reach peace with your lord, and stop holding a knife to other's throats. Well that's how I like to look at it anyways; one small mistake and injury/death becomes a reality.
I'd also like to say that not all people with the fish on the bumper are crazy, I just find it somewhat ironic and you surely aren't setting a good example for others.

After work, went to see Blues Mafia at the Saxton Pub. Pretty awesome show. The performers were rather young, but their sound was very mature and experienced. Excellent.
Went out to a pub in Cedar Park, then headed home.

Big ol' hump day.

So person driving an Infinity M35 with license something like PF2-979: you are an idiot. Please stop wasting gas by poorly executing the already unsafe condition of tailgating. Not only should you back the F off people, but stop flooring the accelerator and then slamming on the brakes when you are a couple inches from the back bumper you are about to hit. I'll admit that there are a couple times where cutting things close in driving can save you a few minutes on a cross-town commute, but seriously chill out. Work is not that important. If you are late, they will not kill you. Deciding to drive like an A is putting yourself, and more importantly, innocent others in harms way.
I woke up fine today, but for some reason I just kept wanting to hit the snooze. Time to bust out some good ol' instant coffee. I totally weened myself off this stuff, and most high-fructose drinks.
Lunch today was some Yakisoba Spicy Chicken Flavored Noodles. I think it costs like $1.30, not bad. And the protein content wasn't too bad either. I'm sure the sodium levels were beyond standard detection methods.
Played some kickball after work. The game was tied up in the last inning 4-4. We were defense first so all we had to do was hold them to guarantee a tie. Well, one could say we let the ball drop on that. The final score... 4-10. :-(
Hot dogs and pb&j for dinner. Zzz.

Now walk it out.
Lots of impromptu meetings today. Not exactly what one desires, but hey it happens.
Went to the gym for lunch, been a few days since I did that. I decided to try and push my limits a bit. I did small sets on bench, but kept increasing the weight each set. I stopped adding weight at 135lbs and still did 4 reps with it. Here I had thought that I lost ground with my weightlifting abilities, but I suppose it isn't as bad as I thought originally. Nice to be able to bench your own weight comfortably :-) I also pushed myself to do a lot more ab workouts and some leg stuff.
It's a good thing I didn't read any news articles before working out. That USC guy dropped the weights on his neck and had to have emergency surgery. Probably would have died if his neck wasnt so muscular and had spotters to help him out. Maybe I should make sure somebody is around before I push my limits.
Made some Mac and Cheese box for dinner. Costing about 60 cents for the box, and maybe another 30-40 cents for the butter+milk. Also ate some chips and pickles. I'd say that I comfortably filled up on about 2 bucks. Wish I could convince myself to cook something decent, but at least I'm eating inexpensively.
Played some foosball, then went to get some groceries so I won't have to over the weekend. Somehow I came home with more food than previous trips to the store, but spent just a tiny bit more than usual.
Watched some of The Office and It's Always Sunny, then an early bed time for me.

2009.09.28 Monday
I'm getting tired of waking up tired but going to bed feeling fine. Something has to be wrong with my ability to get quality sleep.
Work picked up today. Learned a good handful of information. I'm sure this week will get more crazy.
Lunch was a healthy choice beef pot roast soup. About two and a half dollars. I think it contained 270 calories for the whole container, and a fair amount of protein.
Dinner consisted of some green beans that I managed to mess up a little, some pepperoni pizza (feel like I've had this too much lately), and some tempties.
I met up with my family to pick up some stuff and socialize. I convinced my mom to learn how to drive a stick. Amazingly enough she didn't stall her first time going. Well done mother.
Dropped off some camping gear at Kelc's house, then was on my way home again. Feel like this week has a lot going on. Let the good times roll.

Slept in late today. Those pitch black curtains really throw off the sleep schedule.
Lunch consisted of Waffle House. This was followed by some NFL viewing, some more board/card games, cleaning, then pizza.
Korey and Josh left in the early evening to head home and get ready for more school. Kelc and I sat around and watched more tv, goofed around.
The drive home went by much faster than I thought it would. I stopped for a drink and stopped right before home to fill up with gas. Wowzers, 35.6mpg! My car is only rated to get 29mpg on the highway.
Big week ahead.

Work up a few times during the night. Air mattresses totally distribute forces all over the place. We were able to keep the fire going through the night.
We packed up and left. Only a short drive to 'home'.
Nizza Pizza was for lunch. Watched some football games and relaxed in air conditioning. For dinner we went out to PF Chang's, very fancy shmancy.
Then we played some games through the night. I hate Taboo.

Ahoy, the end of yarrrrrr week is near. Buccaneer.
Lunch today: Zen Japanese Cuisine ~$8
Work, yawn.
Drove to Arlington after work. I expected we would be heading to the campsite shortly since we made awesome time, but I was wrong. We took our time, then went out to dinner, then went camping. We actually drove up to the campsite around 9:55 and the park closed at 10. Very nice.
Got our tent set up, got a good fire goin, got our s'mores roasting. Listened to the bug chirping. Somehow it felt like we were up all night, and we still went to bed at a reasonable time.
