It’s almost time for NYC! I’m so excited for this big weekend!!!

Kim and I got a rabbit today. That digital camera I keep talking about would really come in handy right now. It is adorable. We named it Amstel, because the type of rabbit is Netherland Dwarf and Amstel comes from Holland. It just made sense. :) It is so small though, and quite fun, although Kim just said it bit her. It did poop on me earlier too, but they are supposed to be easily potty trained. I also got some new fish today, 6 bleeding heart tetras! They look really cool against my blackskirt tetras. Enough about pets though…

I’ve now worked 2 full 40+ hour weeks. I don’t think I’ll have as much to do with 3 days this week, but it will all help in the end. Now if only I had my check for those 2 weeks of work. Oh well, I’ll have to borrow for NYC…

Still no word from Optimal Solutions, but I am gonna do some work for Ed Hearn and his website. You can check out his current site here.
Feel free to pass along any ideas…

Work has been really busy. I worked 40+ hours last week, and I think I’ll be doing the same this week. I’ve even been traveling for work, but just to columbia and jefferson city, so it isn’t that big of a deal.

We are joining the Y today. I have to go there to work out since I hurt my IT band in my leg. If I run I will be in pain after a mile or two, so instead I can do the elliptical machines. I don’t like it as much, but I have to get ready for the 10K!

Optimal Solutions has put me in the final round of applicants, and has even called Don Hemmelgarn as a reference. Wish me luck!!!

I’m going to NYC in just over a week. I’m so excited for this! It sounds like there will be an official recording of these shows in one way or another. Should be quite an experience.

More to come later, when I have more time…

I got my wallet back. The Y found it by the leg press machine, the one place I forgot to check. Oh well, I feel so much better now.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KIM!

I slacked off again, but only for a week this time. I just got off of work and thought I would write a bit while I remembered to do so.

Well I have now worked 2 real days (actually nights) for Hickory Farms. We go into the malls at 9 PM and setup the kiosks so they can open the next day. It is some tiring work, and I think there are a bunch more to be done still. I believe I am doing one this Thursday, followed by some more after that. I got cleared to drive a Ryder truck though! :)

Kim and I ran the 5K at the Humana Marathon and did just about what we trained to do, 9 minute miles. The results are on this site here (search for paff and hais to see how we did).
We started training for a 10K that I think we will run in 5 weeks. This is addicting, kinda.

In shitty news, I lost my wallet at the YMCA today. That is where we went to run, and we are considering joining. It really sucks now though, because I have no ID at all, so it will be hard to do much of anything. I got all my cards canceled, and they will actually be mailing me new ones. It is just such a big hassle. Hopefully it will turn up tomorrow, and the Y will call me. Keep that in your prayers. :)

Kim’s birthday is Thurs. and I have to work, but I hope we can plan something cool to do for it. Money would be a really nice thing for me to have right now. Dammit!

Well I’m pretty tired, so it’s bed time. More to come later…
