Singles Social Club: It's 5 o'clock somewhere!

[nurse.darcy]

Nice relaxing day for me. Only left the house to get lunch. Enjoying having the windows open, especially since the roommate/landlord still hasn't fixed the A/C that has been broken since last October.

Was going to look at some apartments to move into, but the ones I wanted to see don't have their office open on Sundays (anyone have a room for rent?). Or maybe I can find enough vacationers here to crash with that I wouldn't need a permanent place.

Hoping to get moved within the next month or two so that I can try out some part time work that will be very different from what I was doing for the past 15 years. Hopefully it would be enough of a change and enough income + benefits to supplement my Disability payments, or maybe even lead to replacing them.

Thinking of going to Sea World tomorrow and picking up an AP.

Good luck to you my friend. Hey, my landlord sometimes has more of these mother-in-law units available (all utilities and cable paid - usually fully furnished). If you are interested I will ask. . .

 

[nurse.darcy]

have I mentioned that I hate 2011..

Talk to me my friend. . .

My friends invited me to run the food and wine half marathon this year. If I decide to attend it's going to be a quick turnaround. I would arrive on Friday afternoon, run the half marathon Saturday evening (yes, the race starts at 10PM) and depart Sunday morning before noon. Still thinking about it.

Sort of my same schedule, though I am arriving Thursday in the morning. Leaving a bit later on Sunday also. It is a fun race, and running through the parks at night is kind of cool also.

Ugh, I hate moving.

Just got home from the demonic realm that holds my paycheck hostage. Get to go back tomorrow.

I dread the day when I decide to move.....

And love the term for the job!

So I made a semi-random decision tonight.

I'm going to quit smoking....starting Friday (new pay period).

And the money I would've been spending on Cigs, I'm going to throw into a savings account to finance my trip to Orlando for Halloween Horror Nights at Universal.


I figure this way I can keep my promise to myself to not go on another trip until I've paid down my credit card debts (since this money was already budgeted towards my nasty vice), and actually give myself a little extra motivation or goal to work towards to help keep me honest as I quit.

That is great! You will be able to finance several trips!

I went to a warrior dash yesterday out in the boondocks. It was fun! After all, what could go wrong with beer and obstacles? Then tailgating at the Houston Dynamo soccer game.

There was one of those up here, it was held at a ski resort. A group of folks from work went and had a blast. I hope to go this year.


Time to visit the demonic realm......

It's not THAT bad. Just pour yourself a drink and it'll get better.

we aren't even past the first 3 months, and so far I've had

1. a pipe freeze and burst in my attic
2. water in my basement from the heavy rains 2 weeks ago.
3. a fire in my kitchen last nite

Plus I realized this morning that I'm the world's worst photographer, I was more concerned with putting the fire out, than I was with taking pictures of it..

I seriously don't think a drink is going to help..

 

[Madonna3]

Nope. A drink probably won't help, but 3 or 4 might.

 

[ludari]

Woke up this morning with a really bad headache so I decided call in sick. At home relaxing. Enjoy your day folks.

So you've gotten all the bad stuff out of the way for the year early. Maybe even some of the stuff for next year too.

I think my house is telling me it's time to move..

Possibly.

time to move to Florida!

Orlando, my room is waiting, I just need to make the decision

I hate water issues in the house, the kid's overflowed their toilet a few weeks ago and it leaked to the first floor. Hopefully DC is right and all your bad stuff is over for the year.

well, if all goes as planned at least this coming weekend will be better, I'll be spending Saturday night with several dozen Belly Dancers..

 

[DCTooTall]

Orlando, my room is waiting, I just need to make the decision

Bright side.... Sun, Disney, Universal, and fun times with the local Orlando crowd.

Down side.... Um.... I become the only Central PA person in this group?

I'm Jealous.... then again... I wonder if I know any of them. I know there is a lot of overlap between the burner crowd and other "non-mainstream" groups in this area.

1. brighter side, My daughter lives in Orlando.

2. that wouldn't be a downside for me, and I really doubt it would be a downside for you
3.
I don't know, last HAfla, there were groups from all over, and a soloist from NJ, she was awesome she performed what she called
Belly-esque

1. Hmmm... ya, I guess that would count as another brighter point.

2. Um... Well how can I truly represent for us PA guys, if it's just me?

3. Definately sounds like one of those things people I know, or who are known by some of my friends, would be a part of. I know this area's burn community is very close to the NYC, Philly, Baltimore, and DC burn communities.

apparently you represented rather well down in Orlando

Ya know, this year was starting out kinda crappy for me too, but now I'm going to start thinking like you - I'm getting it all out of the way early in the year.

I like the way you think too!

You already know its time to move. . .no surprise there.

True, but I just got my retirement statement in the mail Saturday.

The difference between retiring now, and working another 7 years is amazing

 

[ctnurse]

Count me in as another one moving to FL! It is in the 5 yr plan hopefully the 2 or 3 yr!
