Another Movie To Add To My Must-See List

I've heard the book was fantastic but I haven't read it yet.

Not much else to report. Went to the Showgram Friday Free for All last week which was awesome, then to Winston Salem for the DC Saturday morning, then to Southpoint and a friend's house for dinner.

I have a rental car this week while my car is in the body shop. The passenger side door got dented by a landscaping company while I was at work, so they're paying to have it fixed this week (darn straight :-P). It's a Mazda 3, which I've driven before, so it should go well. Hopefully the landscaping company won't dent this one as well :-).

A Very Uninteresting Weekend

Friday: Slept in, went to the gym/pool, then shopping, then went to an outdoor movie at the NC Art Museum. It was a documentary called "Man on Wire" about a French tightrope walker that strung a line between the Twin Towers in the 70s. I thought it was really good! Very entertaining for a documentary.

Saturday: I meant to go out to breakfast at the Farmer's Market and then to the Flea Market, but that night I didn't sleep well at all, so finally at 6am I decided to get up and go out in service instead, but around 8am I started feeling sick from lack of sleep so I just went back to bed. Got back up around 11 & went shopping again. I've been looking for dresses for Convention but so far I haven't found anything that I like. I'm running out of places to go too :-/.

Sunday: Meeting, came home, went back to bed, cleaned the upstairs, watched the first half of "Benjamin Button", then to the last hockey game of the season.

Now it's Monday, and I'm at work, bleh. Hoping for a decent week but we'll see.

Change in Plans

So I ended up not going to Charlotte this weekend. Too many things going on at home to get away :-/. Friday I went out in service with a friend instead, then to the lake and to another friend's house for dinner and a movie. Saturday, service again, then to the gym/pool (where I ran on the treadmill again! Yay me!), then out to dinner at 518 West. Fantastic whole wheat fettucine. Sunday, meeting, then the boys' hockey game.

Today, not so great of a day. I wasn't feeling so well plus the weather was kinda blah, and to top it all off the landscaping guy comes in around quittin' time to tell me they ran into my car with one of their carts, leaving a decent sized dent with white scratches in my passenger door. It's near the bottom, so all things considered it's not too bad. But added to everything else it was the icing on the cake.

Mmm, cake.

Creative Titles Escape Me

I'm pretty proud of myself today- I got up early and went to the gym! AND I actually ran on the treadmill! I usually just walk because I'm paranoid that I'll trip & fall if I run, but I mustered the courage to do it today and I did good! Power walked for a mile and a half and then ran for a half mile. Go me!

Of course I'm probably undoing everything I just did by eating a greasy sausage & cheese biscuit from BK, but whatev. I'll break even anyway :-P.

Tonight I'm going to The Point for dinner with my mom and some friends. I've never eaten there, but supposedly they have 1/2 price appetizers on Thursday nights. Then after dinner I'm meeting some more friends for drinks. Not too exciting but it should be fun anyway.

It seems like a big part of my life revolves around restaurants. Maybe I should turn this into a food blog... I eat out all the time, and we all know I'm opinionated :-P. Plus I've always wanted to be a food critic. It's a thought.

New to Blogging

So I was bored at work today and decided to try my hand at blogging. It seems to be the thing to do these days. Not that I really think I have anything worthwhile to put in a blog, nor do I think anyone would find my life important or interesting enough to read about on a regular basis. But it's a nice diversion anyway. I work by myself, and the workload has been light for the past couple weeks, so that leaves a lot of downtime. I can't really study or do anything that takes me away from the computer/phone because the minute I do someone needs something, and surfing the web is getting pretty boring (although this will probably get pretty boring soon too so this may not last long). At least blogging enables me to stay alert and at least look like I'm working.

So let's see, what new and exciting things have I been up to lately? Went to the No Doubt + Paramore shows in Charlotte and Raleigh this past week, those were pretty awesome. The Charlotte venue left something to be desired- the arena was smaller and the grounds were not very well kept. Shows at Walnut Creek are always fun times though. Had an amazing calzone last night at Moonlight Pizza, which I split with an amazing guy ;-). If you're ever looking for a chill place with great pizza and awesome bartenders, Moonlight Pizza is the place to go. They have drink specials just about every night of the week- last night was G&Ts for $4 and Wednesday night they have local pints for $2 or $3, can't remember- and basically everything on the menu is fantastic. My favorites are the Tortellini and the Fettucine (I'm a big pasta fan). Their salads are fresh too and their dressings are really good. Definitely a cool spot.

This Friday I'm headed to Charlotte again for a graduation party and then back to Raleigh Saturday afternoon. Not particularly looking forward to making the drive all by myself, but it should be ok.

Well, that's all I can think of right now. 'Til next time.
