Music: Blog Talk Radio with Karan Ashley
8p
What a week this has been. It was active, busy and very exhausting. There are not enough hours in the day to catch up on sleep when you are tired. Is four days off enough time to do such a thing? When you're constantly going, going, going....no. I finally get caught up today, after all the excitement had died down...and it's time to go back to work. Grr.
Monday after posting my last blog, I headed down to Webster and met up with my co-workers. I wasn't planning on going down there alone, but Jessica was not able to make it until later on, and I wanted to go eat. So I met the co-workers at Cheddar's and we ate and talked. Afterwards, we walked over to the Main Event. We decided to bowl first, and even though I suck at bowling, I like it. We ended up bowling two games, and Jessica and Eric joined up with us and met everyone, and bowled the second game with us. Kris decided to play laser tag, and begged everyone to play. That was the first time I'd ever actually played, and even though I run pretty fast, I got hit a few times, but I managed to get in a few of my own! It was fun. Kris then later volunteered to play me in air hockey. Yes, pride be damned, I actually got beat by someone! More like Kris wiped the floor with me! He was FAST. And I thought I was good! We ended up playing again, and he buried me. We had fun. The group later decided to go to a bar close by, and I headed home, as I had to be up early the next morning, and I couldn't drink as I didn't have a DD. I think they were kinda bummed, but I had a blast hanging out with them. I felt like part of the group.
I had no idea how to get back to Clear Lake, as I wasn't too familiar with the route going back (I took 146 to Nasa Prkwy coming in), and I definitely didn't want to get lost. I45 was right behind me, and it was a quarter to 11, so I ended up taking 45 to 610 and up to 90. That was the first time I'd ever driven that route, I don't think I did that even when I was learning to drive. Traffic was very light, and again, I wasn't nervous at all. It was a route I was more familiar with. I got home and passed out.
Tuesday my family and I headed out to the Hill Country. We made a few stops along the way, including a stop to a place with old cars and trucks (I haven't had time to post the pics). It is so beautiful out there, with the awesome views. I told my parents and aunt about my fun night the night before, and we talked and looked at the sights. We stopped in La Grange and looked at some places, and then headed out to Bastrop to go eat. I haven't been to Bastrop, and that was the first time I saw first hand the damage from the fires a couple years ago. The burned trees stretched out for miles, as far as you could see. It was amazing. We stopped in and ate at Chili's, then stopped at Buc-ees (a Texas staple, google it), and headed home. John called me right when we hit the road back, informing me that his job in LA got cancelled and he was now headed home. He was disappointed. I okay'd it with everyone if he could stop by on his way back to Spring. He was still a few hours away, which gave us time to get home and rest a bit. John stopped in and met my aunt, and we sat around and talked. My aunt even got a picture of the two of us. John had been driving all day and was super tired, so he didn't stay long. After seeing him off, I came back inside and my aunt gave me her approval of him. Sweet! I passed out in bed not too long after that. After coming home on Sunday and finding my bed rearranged, I was too tired to change it back (thanks to my sister; I am plotting revenge as we speak), so I proceeded to sleep like that the next three nights, and was quite comfortable! I grudgingly had to change my bed back today.
Wednesday we took my aunt to the airport. I was sad to see her leave, but I know she'll be back next year. John and I decided that we were both too exhausted to do anything that evening. I ate dinner and was asleep by 9:30. When I woke up, it was 2:30 a.m. I checked facebook and turned on TranceFM and passed out again.
Today I found my cell phone turned off. I went over on my minutes and texts, and my bill is due Saturday. So no phone for me. No facebook at work. UGGHHH! Now I have to wait til Saturday, and now John is laughing at me. I'm getting back into work mode, and hoping that now that things are back to normal, I can work some overtime next week. And yes, hoping that my 122 will be sitting nice and pretty when I walk in tomorrow morning. I'm ready to conquer another weekend. And get my phone turned back on! Yeah!
Goodnight.
