Finally something to write about

Yep, I figured that I finally had something to write about. Why you ask? Because my lazy self finally got a job. Now, it's not one of those "I'm gonna be a millionaire in 6 weeks" kind of jobs. But that's probably pretty good. In fact, this is probably the least money I've made since the mid-1990's. But you know what? It's work. I'm going to be out and about and there's even a chance for advancement, if I do my job well enough. All I know to do is to do the best that I can, and hope that I can continue to do it better. So that's my big exciting news. I'm happy, but I'm not nearly as thrilled as I should be. Probably because I'm still trying to absorb the shock.

I had a nice weekend though. I went down and spend Saturday and Sunday night with Tim, and we had a really nice time. Saturday night we did our fun outing. We go out to different places and do an "Appetizer and Dessert" Night. You know how it is, you go out to a restaurant and even if you're famished, you never have room for the appetizer, dinner, and dessert, so we go out to places we've never been and get appetizers, check out the menu, check out the place, maybe have a drink, and go somewhere else after for either more appetizers or for dessert. It's really a lot of fun. We went to some places that I never would have thought of this weekend. If you've never thought about doing this, I really do recommend it. It's a great way to find different restaurants. I hate trying new restaurants because I'm really picky about food. In fact, I am an anti-vegetarian. I hate veggies. Except broccoli. Smothered with cheese sauce. Though you can hold the broccoli if you want. So doing this, there's no "obligation" to find something on the menu. If the appetizers don't look yummy, you get your soda or your drink and go somewhere else. Tons of fun, especially when you get to talking with the staff of whatever establishment you're in and get their recommendations. So, that was my big weekend. Yep, it doesn't take a whole lot to get me excited!
