What a week!

Sorry for the delay in getting back to the blog...I have been so busy lately. It seems like we'll never be finished unpacking. On Monday, I got my new drivers license and also the plate for my car. I removed the front plate...there are some small holes in the bumper but it is so nice to see the front end of my car!

I decided to go on an adventure in my neighborhood. I needed some groceries, and the closest grocery store is the Super Bah-Lao. I thought it was going to be expensive...and it was...kinda. They're a lot like Kroger: they have a lot of great specials and most items available in store brand. I liked it a lot!!

They even put the locations of all of the items right on your cart. What a timesaver!

I had to laugh. Of all of the silly generic soda names, this one takes the cake.

All of this shopping made me hungry for some ice cream. I walked over to the sonic and ordered.

Let's try their chocolate malt. Pretty darn good!

I was getting kinda shaggy, so I stopped at the Great Clips. They were cheap. What can I say, I am not picky about my hair. I'm just thankful it's all there.
I noticed this nice view out of the 8th floor office the other day. Even downtown, there is green as far as the eye can see...

Jason and Darrick will appreciate this. A mommy toughbook and daddy toughbook got together and made a little toughbook. It's difficult to see in this picture, but it is about half the size of a CF30.

One day, right before lunch I got a desparate phone call from Ralph, from my chorus, needing a tenor to fill in in 10 minutes down at the Governor's school (for gifted music students). I ran over and sang a couple tunes for an auditorium of enthusiastic high schoolers. In drum corps, this would be considered a bando show. They went nuts. It was a lot of fun.

I finally got a fancy phone to use at work. I need to be able to receive email while I'm taking care of calls, so Tony is letting me use the MIS spare Treo. So far, I'm pretty mixed. The features are great, but the Sprint reception is awful.

Dennis and I went out last weekend. Went to Fuddrucker's again. It was great!!

mmmmmmm free cheddar cheese sauce

Afterwards, we went out for ice cream. I wanted to try this place.

It was good, but not very darkly chocolately as I had hoped.

haha! Caught a picture when he wasn't expecting it.

Then I bought the best game ever. Portal. If you don't know what it is, it's worth googling.

Finally, my mom got her motorcycle this week. She has her learners permit and will take the MSF course next month! It'll save her a lot of gas on her trip to work. It's just the right size, too. Look at her go! Mom, we're so proud of you!! Now most everyone in the family rides. We should start a motorcycle gang.


That be it for this week. In summary, work is going very well. I finally got my police id badge so I can do calls at the county jail by myself. I've been enjoying the service at Mauldin United Methodist a lot! The house is starting to take shape and most of the fire ant nests in the yard are dead. The weather has been dry, but we're expecting some thunderstorms tonight and tomorrow. Hopefully, Dennis and I will go see Iron Man this Saturday. It'll be a matinee, though, because there's no way I'm paying $9 for a ticket. See ya'll later!!!!!
