Less than a week until I come back to Peoria! hoo-ray! This past week has been quite exciting. It marked the my (temporary) return to downtown job duties and exciting adventures to North Carolina. I've been making final arrangements to fly back to IL on Friday, April 11th, so that we can pack up the house and close on April 15th. Erin and I will drive back down to Greenvull and close on the new house on April 18th. Should be exciting. I hope to see some friends and family while I am back in town and probably do some motorcycle riding to keep my mad skillz in check.
I worked downtown this week to help finish a project at the county jail. Also, on Friday, I had the great task of visiting all 200 people in city hall setup the new print drivers on their PCs. It was a great way of meeting people and getting a taste of how we interact with the locals. I'll be in Newberry this next week, and then a vacation week, then probably back in Newberry. The first thing I noticed when I returned to the office was that we finally have our new desks! I have my own desk, which I promptly plan to decorate with my easy button.
On Saturday, Dennis and I made a trip to Charlotte, NC to retrieve his car from airport storage. It was very rainy the whole day, but the drive itself was pretty simple: all highway.
Here's my passenger:
It's hard to see from the picture, but the terrain here was very different, but I liked it. It had more of a rolling hills rural feel to it.
Here's where we went for lunch.
I was running out of gas and it was the only restaurant we found, I swear.
Well, it's dry shelter and they do have food here, so I guess it'll do.
While I happen to be here, I'll try there boneless wings with the hottest sauce they have: the "Call 911" sauce. Three words: "What" "A" "Joke". Not spicy enough for me. Booooo.
For dinner that evening, I had some leftover Chinese. MMMMM General Tso's Chicken!!
Later that evening, we went out shopping. At Office Depot, I couldn't resist this picture. "Step Two....Put a rug in a box. Step 3..."
After we got home, we watched I Am Legend.
Very scary and very sad and very good. A++++
Sunday morning, I went to Mauldin United Methodist Church.
It doesn't look like much, but it's just their gym.
Their "Live" service (live, as in dive) was incredible The band was terrific and it was the first service I have attended that I was obviously overdressed. Oh well, when I go back, and I will go back, I will go a little more casual.
Sunday evening we went out to run some errands. I saw this beautiful sunset and had to grab a poor, pixelated picture.
The following is good advice from John Wayne:
The menu at Zaxby's. LoL.
And finally, I had to go back to the laundromat. We were the only ones speaking English, and there were many many people there. I can't wait to do my laundry at home in our fancy washer and dryer.
That's what I did this weekend. Can't wait to hop on the plane and bus. For now, I need to get to bed so I can get up early :( TTFN!
