Another Weekend...Another Great 2 Days
It's 9:50pm on Sunday night. I've had a nice weekend. I can't say that I did a whole lot, but that's okay. I had a good time. Brewed up a batch of Sweet Stout. Hopefully the other brew materials will come pretty soon so that either Tuesday or Thursday night we'll be able to brew again.
I posted a bunch (3) things on E-Bay today, so that's good. Finally getting on the ball with clearing out the junk in this house, so that's good. I am sure that I could go around the place and find like 10 more things that I should shed, but that's okay.
I'm actually looking forward to each week that passes, it's kind of strange. I've finally gotten to a point where I am looking forward to the futre, and not looking back on the things that have passed. Yes, I may be counting the days, but in a good way. Before I was like "Damn it... 15 more months till things turn around" now it's like "Wow.. just a few more days and my life is back on track..." very exciting times.
A few days ago I posted something about not wanting to head back to school, and really dreading it, but then I got to thinking. You know, not matter what other things there are, an education and being able to challenge yourself by learning is always a good thing. Laura and I have been working on this Cow stuff for our eventual trek across the country in July, and it's actually starting to look pretty good. It's hard for me to get excited, especially when all we're really doing is data entry, but it's becoming more and more of a real scenario, so that's pretty cool. We spent a good part of this afternoon working on the main spreadsheet. There's still a bit to do, but it's coming along.
Oh, and can I just say that I love living in Brooklyn? I mean damn, it's a good time. So many good places to go out to drink at and to see. The fact that we have a back yard with a lawn... yes, it's true.. it's a lawn now, not just a weed filled patch...is just so nice. I actually ended up ordering a lawn mower today from Home Depot. Yes... it's going to be a good time cutting the grass. Right now we have such a buildup of weeds I think it may actually be hindering the grass growth. I figure that once we mow the thing 3-4 times we'll be able to put down some weed killer. I'm hoping that the weeds will need all their leaves to grow, unlike the grass, and that the lawnmower will take a good chunk of them away, but I have my doubts. Anyway, I'll let you know how that works out.
I still haven't made it out to B&H to use my gift card, so that kind of sucks. Looking foward to doing that, but I still don't know what I'll be getting. I was thinking... I know, it's terrible, that I may just get an Ipod. I think that I would enjoy it for running. I've been running everyday now.. cept today.. and I think that it woul dbe nice, but who knows. I am going to try to borrow Laura's tomorrow morning when I go running and see how I like it. It may be more of a pain than it's worth.
Today, as a break from the cow data stuff, Laura and I went out and got a few hair brushes for the cats. I swear I pulled a small kitten off of Seven, but wouldn't you know.. you pet the bastard and the hair still comes out. They are shedding like mad. It's rather irritating when you can't even hold them without them just covering you with hair.
Anyway, it's time that I go and do something productive.
