33 Things to post about... And then some.
If you read Eternal Sunshine... I would like a spotless mind, then you might have wondered about my real father and why I was/am upset with/about him. I always get these email forwards from him that have 30 other people on the list and I kept thinking... "Why doesn't he ever send me a real email?" So finally I just broke down and wrote him a quick note and said, "Hey, these FWD:'s are great and all, but I would like a personal email every now and then..." And he replied that he wasn't sure if that was a valid email address for me, or if I ever checked that email address and that is why he didn't write. It could also be that he is just like me and he doesn't always make the best decisions when it comes to relationships and therefore when the crap hits the fan it is much easier to avoid it than to face it head on. Well, I am going to change that about me and hopefully about him as well. I don't expect us to be able to make up for 10 years of not speaking to each other, but we can at least be friends.
On another note- October is BIRTHDAY CRAZY INSANE MONTH for me. Cribby, Alan, my sister Dena, my sister Precious, Amanda Adams, and a couple other people that I can't remember right now were all born in October!!! There just isn't enough weekends for all those birthdays!!! ALL THESE BIRTHDAYS ARE BLOWING MY MIND!!!
Saturday night I was going to the wonderful Joe T. Garcia's for Amanda Adams' birthday party and my Cadillac broke down. I think I through a rod in it or something because one minute I am hurrying along and the next minute it sounds like the hamster will is grinding against the water bottle and the whole thing is about to explode. 2 hours, a wrecker, and 120 dollars later I am back at my apartment. Well, it was only 10:15 and the night was still young so I hopped in Old Faithful- My blue truck (the same one that my good friend Jes loves to borrow) and I drove to Denton to see Cody and Dumas and watch a recorded episode of Smallville that I missed.
I love seeing Cody and Dumas, and I had lunch with them earlier in the day over at Tin Star in Frisco- Delicious.
Back to Cody's...
So Dumas and I both stayed the night over at Cody's and the next morning Cody's mom Nita made us the best waffles and sausage- it was way too tasty.
We also played my new favorite game racquet ball- Cody and I played for an hour and I am LOVING IT!!!
Church was also good, Tom's sermon was Tales from the Crypt- but... I ALREADY HEARD THAT ONE BEFORE!!! I think I even have the tape- and my notes were all the same in my Bible- and so I almost went up to Tom and told him that it is too early to start re-teaching Corinthians- and that if he is going to re-teach something I want to hear Revelation again.
Did I mention that I got a new job? Did I mention that I have a new BlackBerry and a Treo 600 because that is what I do, Web Design and Mobility Support? Yeah. I still work for TI, but just doing something WAY cooler than before- I ABSOLUTELY. LOVE. MY. JOB. It Rules.
Another thing to post about...
I started lifting weights again. There is a difference between just working out and really hitting the weights. Working out for me normally consists of 30 minutes on a stairmaster or some other type of Cardio, and then 30 minutes of weight training that really would end up being about 20 minutes of weights because I would get bored or tired of waiting in line and I would just leave. Now I have a work friend and we work out at the TI Fitness Center right here in out building and it is SOOO much better to really hit the weights with someone. You can really push each other and you have someone there to spot you when you really need to bench press a massive quantity of weight. We worked out 3 days in a row last week and I was so sore that I could barely even sleep- every time I moved I woke up from the massive amounts of pain. This week I have no soreness left- PRAISE JESUS!!!
On a final note, I am helping John Lashmet put together a website. I worked really long trying to build him a CSS site but it was just taking too much effort and it wasn't looking cool. I prefer looks over functionality and so I am going back to the drawing board- literally. You will be able to check out the new site toward the end of the month- lashmet.net
To all of my many readers I hope you are well, don't forget about Daylight savings time this weekend and don't forget that my birthday is coming up December 17th- you still have plenty of time to buy me gifts!!!!

You need to put up some sort of wishlist! And you'd also have to email me your address. December will be here before we know it!
Eddo - Congrats on the new job. I covet your computer skills. I can type a letter, do an excel worksheet, and even play around in access like I know what I'm doing but the whole web design thing takes both brains and creativity (of which I an in desperate lacking). It cracks me up that you are the semi-author on most of the blogs I know. You've posted everything on lashmet's, you've ghost written on both Alan's and Jimmy's. I hope to catch up with you sometime when you are in Little D. :)
Eddie, I'm so happy you posted something new for me to read!! I loved this last post. (And I still love Old Faithful!)
I didn't know you drive a Caddy. Sad to hear about your little meltdown. That sucks.
On a brighter note, I am absolutely thrilled to hear about your new job! That is super-exciting!! Do you still work with the same people, or are you in a different department? And which Campus of TI do you work at?
I think it's awesome that you're starting to seriously lift weights again. I joined my work gym too. I even tried to go this morning, but discovered I didn't have my magnetic card to open the door, so I drove all the way home, just to find it in my backpack. Drama. Anyhow, I've also decided to start a 1200 calorie diet. So far today I have eaten 205 calories. :) Of course, it's only 10am. I have a long way to go - we'll see how long I can keep this up!!
Eddie, I have a blog site now! Isn't that exciting?!? I wanted to tell you my address: http://jesferris.blogspot.com. So, feel free to check it out - I owe it all to you!! (Or most of it, anyhow!) I think I even mention you in my very first blog. :) Okay - I just checked it. I don't mention you by name, but I do give a link to your website. Oops!
I'd still love to get together sometime! I'm going to email you so we can plan it! :)
Note this is not a self-promoting advertisement for another blog but I also joined the blogger club and you can find my musings at http://kpinion.blogspot.com. Eddie you and Jes both get a shout out on it. So be happy that you have incited so much web activity.
kt, your recent comment (above) is an oxymoron. :)
yes you are right, but I do mention eddie by name and in my description no less so I feel somewhat better
Jes is right! Katie is a Self-Promoter!!!
I am going now to check out your site...
awwwwww, ok I admit it I am a shameless self-promoter, I apologize and will try and restrain myself from any more promotiom
It's okay KT- I am a self-promoter too! All the cool kids are! :)
Right, but you have to learn to be more subliminal about it.
Ah sensei you speak the truth. Teach me more of your knowledge.
Eddo.. I HAVE A FRIGGIN' COMPLAINT JERKFACE!!!
