Par For The Course.

So the insurance company is giving me a decent settlement... finally... it's like pulling teeth to deal with them though... I have a rental... the rental company didn't have a comparable sized vehicle.. so I'm driving a HUGE crew cab new red 4x4 ... I love it.. but I don't  like the 16 mpg on gas it gets... this is just until Monday anyway... when I can get my check... I already found a mechanically sound vehicle to replace my other one... it's red too... a Jeep Cherokee.... I figure I'll go 4 wheelin' at some point.  They came and picked up my other vehicle yesterday....

I went fishing this last weekend... actually got some sun... I was afraid it would be a burn.. but it has turned out to not be so bad...  My dad is definitely not in the best of shape.. this was very obvious this weekend... but I guess we all have to get older.. I'm not so certain he will make it very much longer.. Anyway... I've gotten out.. enjoyed spending time with my daughters.. and even my dad... taking advantage of the new nice truck while I have it.

So... I went to Huntsville to get all these computers.. for my class and my center... and of course they knew they'd need hard drives... well.. it seems my center is out of money again... so I have 40 laptops that I can turn on... and stare at the Dell logo.. but can't do much else... if I had known I was going to be cut off... I would have worked on appropriating money from other stuff to the hard drives... I need them most. Still.. it's not like there is any communication or anything... Par for the course.

Not In My Lifetime.

It's 1:15 am.. I just got back from my niece's wedding.. and it was.. different .. not what I was used to.. but nice all the same..  I only have this to say about the reception... WTF!!! l guess I should give a bit of background information... my spouse wandered off doing her own thing.. as I prefer it that way... so when I happen to come into close proximity of her by accident.. she motions me over.. and has been talking to the head of the catering company... they have been talking for awhile.. and in a short period of time.. they have been getting to know each other a bit..   as I approach.. this woman.. who's name is the same as my spouse.. is saying.. "I just seem to know him.. he looks like John.. somebody"  My spouse then starts with a sales pitch of how great of a guy I am.. and what I do teaching computers.. and this woman starts striking up a conversation with me in front of my spouse.. she even talks about how handsome I am...   she mentions that she i...

Something I Have Learned Well.

It's odd how we interact with others on so many levels... one would assume by my wide range of references that I have a large assortment of friends.. In all actuality, the people in my circle of friends could be counted on my hands.. and close friends... well..  easily on one hand. I'm not what I would consider a social butterfly... but to be honest.. I sometimes like crowds.. I enjoy having groups of people around me.. I don't stick out like a sore thumb.. and sometimes getting lost in the rest of the world... isn't such a bad thing. How often do you go and "people watch" ....and then think about those people once you're gone... not very often, I'm guessing.. not unless one did something completely out of the ordinary.  I just like having the feeling that I'm normal.. an ordinary person... I just sat here in this chair for most of the weekend.. not really accomplishing anything.. nothing constructive by any means... I feel as though maybe I'm...

Stay Out Of Things Where I Don't Belong.

I am starting to get used to the hours... I think... who knows.. one day I feel like I was drug out of my bed kicking and screaming... other days I feel like I've been poured full of coffee and energy drinks... I've cut down on my morning coffee by the way... Oh... I didn't blog about that... after first moving here, I started drinking flavored coffee in the mornings... but I've decided I don't want to get dependent on that.... I still have the occasional coffee... but as I've said before... too much of anything is a bad idea... so I cut back.  I also decided to give up something for Lent... I might have blogged about it... but I tried to think of something that would be a sacrifice.. so I gave up masturbation.  I know that's not really in the spirit of Lent... as far as giving up something like that... but hey... I can't think of many other things I enjoy more... especially with my sex life as it is... I sorta don't have the inspiration at this poi...
