The last two days have been windy. I mean like grab onto a pole or you’re going to blow over. I’ve had quite the busy last few days…. so let’s go back to Saturday.
Saturday was my workload day. I cleaned my house, my car, went for a run on a beautiful day, did homework, and sat out by the pool. I was also proud of myself because I didn’t drive any where. At $3.71 a gallon, I am saving more than a few pennies. Over all, I got a ton done.
Sunday- Started out with my sick obsession of clearning out duplicate songs in my itunes library. I started doing it on Friday, but decided that I must finish the deed. So after nearly six hours and me throwing my computer at the wall, I finished it. I cleaned off a ton of space on my hard drive and I was feeling pretty good about myself. Then, my cousin Josh called me and in our conversation mentioned that there’s a program that would have done that in about 10 minutes. Thanks Josh.
Then I was extending my streak of not driving to two days. I rode my bike on another beautiful day to Trader Joes to get some groceries for the week. I felt so free away from my car. I strolled on my bike with my ipod and was just enjoying the process of getting to the store. It wasn’t a chore. It also limited my spending because I didn’t want to lug a gallon of juice in my back pack home. I didn’t need it really.
While I was riding home, I got a call from Danielle. I called her back and she asked me if she wanted to go the movies. I was all over that. I’m kind of (to use Masson’s word) smitten with this girl. She’s cute, determined, and funny. We went to see “Street Kings” which was good, but disappointing because the corruption they mention in the movie is most likely true. We then came back to my house for dinner. While I cooked, she called her customers. It was perfect for both of us. We then had dinner and talked. After dinner, we started to talk about work and sales. We swapped some ideas and I gave her some books my company gave me. It was great because her energy fired me up to do my job. And she is great and I hope to see more of her soon. I also introduced her to wii and that went over semi-well. By the way, renting games is ridiculous. I spent $18 renting two games. What a rip!
Monday- I worked from home in the early morning getting ready for a two day trip to Yuba City. Because the price of gas and my schedule, it was cheaper using my employee rate in YC than drive back and forth from Chico. I went to my schools and got most of our products out for this year and planned out some work for 09. I then FROZE my butt off officiating two powder puff games at River Valley. They were fun, but I was so miserable from the wind. I was so cold. Then Masson and I went to In and Out and caught up. He’s their new ASB president and a great kid. I expect great things from him next year.
Today- I woke up at the hotel and did some work since I thought I was supposed to be at RV at 8a. This is part of the reason why I stayed the night. It worked out better to be later in the day because of the wind made it so cold. I spoke to the juniors in the football stadium. The sound system was so bad that it echoed so much I couldn’t even speak because the echos were so overwhelming. After the speeches, I hung out for lunch then headed back to Chico.
I met with a financial planner today to get my IRA started. I’m 27 and I need to get some years in there so I can make some money for when I get old. The downside of working for Herff is that there’s no retirement. So, I have to make a plan for myself if I do stay with this long-term. I’m not going to have a pretty face my whole life.
I went to the gym and headed over to the Palms to see what we are doing for our mix off in May. It’s going to be a cool event. I feel better now that I have seen the place and got an idea of what we are going to be doing during the event. So, if you want to shell out 50 bucks on May 3… help us out.
