Home Time

I am going to get some home time and the great thing about my job is I don’t have to take my home time where I actually live so I am going to go home to see my parents I have a feeling I will be using a lot of my home time to visit family I haven’t seen in a while because I don’t have to pay for the trip there now. I can’t wait to see them and they are so excited. I should get there in a couple of days I have to drop off this load and my dispatch will get me there on my next run.

I also get to catch up with some old friends while I am there and maybe even see a old girlfriend or two who know I may be able to rekindle an old flame. I have a feeling I am going to love this part of my job I have missed being able to see my family and friends more that once a year.

No work some fun

I have been training and studying so hard I think it’s time for some fun so me and a couple of my friends are going out. We are going to go have a nice dinner and then go to a movie. I really want to see Zero Dark Thirty but everyone else wants to see Django Unchained so I guess that’s what we will go see. I just can’t wait for a night of nothing but fun with all my friends this may be the last time I will be able to go out like this because after school I will have at least a couple of weeks of training over the road and won’t be home for weeks or even months.

I am worried about missing my friends and family and holidays but once I get settled I will try be home for all the important things no job is worth sacrificing whats really important.

Christmas party

I went to a Christmas party last night with my old friends here. It was amazing. I met a really cool chick, but unfortunately we wont see each other again as she is going out of the country to study in the UK. That is too bad. I haven’t met a chick that cool in a long time. We have decided to keep in touch though, through Facebook and email. That way whenever she does come back, we can get together and hang out.

The guys hadn’t changed that much over the last few months. Only one of them had anything different going on in his life. He got engaged and will be getting married next summer. He asked me to stand up for him in the wedding and of course I said yes. I wasn’t very surprised about that, since him and his girl have been together forever. They were high school sweet hearts and I doubt they will  ever change. I wish them the best of luck !

Anyway, I have to go and finish up the last minute shopping that needs to be done. I only have a few more things to buy, and mom has asked me to pick up a couple of things for her as well. I don’t want to be doing this on Christmas eve, because the stores are already packed and by then they will be a mad house. So, I will catch you on the flip side. Have a Great Holiday!

Holidays

I can’t wait to go home to see the family for the holidays. I am leaving early from school, so I can do my shopping and be able to get it all done in time. I have to wait to do it there, because taking it all on the plane would cost too much and I don’t want to have to mail it to myself there. It is just easier to shop after I get home.

I am lucky in that I already know what I want to buy for my family. They are relatively easy to shop for anyway. For my nieces and nephews, I will just go hit up Toys R Us with my sister and let her pick out what they like. There will be jewelry for my mom and sister and my dad is simple to shop for. I just get him whatever new gadgety tool that is out on the market and he is happy. Makes for an easy shopping trip. Yay for me!

Black Friday and Cyber Monday

I know that a lot of people go out for Black Friday, but the crowds are mean and unruly, so I keep myself at home. I don’t care how good a deal there is. I can get the same deal on Cyber Monday and never have to leave the comfort of my home. What ever I buy is delivered to my door and there is no worries about mob mentality that goes on in the stores.

This year I ordered quite a few Christmas presents on cyber Monday and got better deals than if I had gone shopping in brick and mortar stores. My moms is going to be amazingly happy by the jewelry I bought for her, and my dad will be surprised as well when he opens this particular tool he has been going on about. I cannot wait till Christmas gets here and I can watch the family open their gifts.

Working on my ride

I have decided to do a few little upgrades on my whip to make it look a little better. I am changing out the headlights out for some blue ones, and adding a new exhaust kit to make it look hot. It’s not much at the moment, but there will be more to come. I intend to have a new paint job on it in the not too distant future as well. I want to get some airbrush done, but I haven’t decided exactly what I want yet. When I know, then I will see about having it done. I already know a guy who does awesome work and charges decent prices. I really need to figure out what I want.

Fun

Went out with the boys last night. We had a blast playing pool and watching whatever sports were on the big screen tvs. It was a really casual night. Usually we go clubbing and try to pick up women, but we really have gotten tired of it. I enjoy laid back nights when we just kind of hang out. It can get too hectic in the clubs sometimes. Dating is like a game to people and I really get tired of games.

I would rather just meet a girl who is real. No pretense, just be herself. It is much easier to relax that way. I can’t stand it when people put up a false front. I would rather just have fun. At least last night was relaxing.

Hung over

Oh boy am I hung over. I went out last night with the guys for a bachelor party and it was wild. Of course, most bachelor parties are and we were no exception. I think we went to about seven different clubs and bars. We had a limo, so that no one had to be a designated driver and we didn’t have to worry about drinking and driving. Now I have to get myself in gear or I will be late for the wedding. Ugh!

Monster truck time

It is that time of year again. The monster truck show is coming to town and I plan on taking my newphews to see it. I bought tickets yesterday on the way home from work, as soon as I heard they had gone on sale. We got amazing seats and I was able to get pit passes as well. The kids are going to go nuts. I got a couple for my brother and his wife as well, in case they want to join us. If they don’t, I will take whoever wants to go.

Party time

So we decided to have a party and make it a seafood extravaganza. Since we got that big Marlin,  we smoked the meat in dad’s smoker. Well, dad did it since he is retired and had the time, but we also are getting oysters and clams for the party as well. It is going to be a little seafood fest for a few family and friends. We will give away some of the meat as it is just too much to keep. I know that everyone is going to have a blast though. After all, everyone loves seafood. Or at least everyone I know does.
