Mid Week Chill

Another Wednesday off. Last night I stayed up through the worst of the hurricane weather until about 2 AM doing nothing of importance. Today was one of those "no plans" types of day. I had some more gear to buy for the big work decorating thing, and so a trip to Dollar Tree was in order first thing. I dropped $50 on "beachy" stuff like flip-flops, big sunglasses, shovel/pail combination, beach mats, stuff like that. Funny story about this excursion. Apparently Dollar Tree doesn't accept credit cards. I mean they accept Visa, but just not a credit card. Only debit cards. I find this out after I just rung up $50 on the company dime right? I am packing the corporate card for my shopping this week and so I had to reach into my own money now for this stuff. Amazing. I'm sure a reimbursement will be possible, but I also bet it will be weeks before I see the loot.

After the shopping trip I rolled to Joolie's house for some mid-afternoon vegging out. We watched another ocean life documentary and were enthralled. Well, I was. Joolie fell asleep. The girl is narcoleptic for sure. After the documentary, I got to see a program on Dicovery I never saw before. Something about these former crooks who break into your house and then help you better protect it so it doesn't happen for real. Huh? It was odd. And somewhat aggrivating. So I left.

I am now sweating in my house for some reason. Just sitting and sweating. I have a potentail development on the roommate front. At least an email I received today makes me think I do. This chick Elbo is looking for a roommate now as well and she basically said if she doesn't find one by mid-July she wouldn't mind moving into my joint. Sounds fine to me since in the meantime I'm doing nothing to actually find a roommate. The criteria I have for a roommate is pretty simple. Female and either gay or with a boyfriend. Men are dirty. And I'm a neat freak. And the last thing I want is a single girl living in close proximately to me. It's safer for everyone if I find a roommate the doesn't like men or is taken. And luckily Elbo is attached to my local watering hole proprietor Josh and therefore a safe choice. I'll keep you posted on the developments.

I'm ready for my trip home. Lined up a poker night on the Friday I fly in with my boys, Saturday is the big wedding for cousin T-Bone and his lady, Monday night is my sister Candace's 21st. Should be a lot of fun. And man could I use some fun.
