Wow.

I'm getting married in 2 days.

Busy as balls

Wow, today was crazy.

Good crazy.

We get to see 3 of the houses that we wanted to see tomorrow. I'm excited.

And (though I probably shouldn't post this on the internet, but i must brag), my credit score is 779. :D

Houses!! :D

I'm pretty excited. Laura and I finally got pre-approved or whatever for a mortgage the other day, so we finally got to start looking at houses. We spoke with a realtor a few days ago and she set us up on their portal so that we can really start looking at houses. She started us off with a really broad search area, and there were about 73 houses that matched our search criteria. Maybe half of those were in our price range, and out of all those, we found 3 that we really liked. They were close to home, good size, nice layout, pretty new, nice sized yard.. very cool.

I really can't wait until we get to actually start touring some. We're getting married in the middle of April, and our rent comes up for renewal at the end of JUly or early August. So, we're probably going to try to get out of the Apartment then and into a house, so we can start actually earning some Equity on where we live. I'm pretty excited too. I'm looking forward to being able to do house work and yard work. Make some minor renovations if we need to, and do some painting. I haven't had a chance to do anything like that in a long time, and I've gotten really really lazy. So, it'll be fun to be able to actually get up and do some stuff around the house.

Anyway. That's about all that's been on my mind the last couple of days. :/ Work = usual.

Rainy Days Suck

It's shitty outside today. It's friday, which is good. No more work for a whole 2 days! Woo.

All my geek friends are leaving on Sunday to go on to the annual geek-fest lan party down in Nags Head, and I don't get to go this year. On one hand, I'm a little dissappointed because it's always fun, but on the other, I'm sorta glad that I don't have to worry about it. Also, it's going to be nice to be able to go on a Honeymoon in April, and I'll be able to use the rest of my vacation when we move into a new house.. hopefully this summer. :D

PS, look forward, because I'm sure I'll be recruiting some of you guys to help me move again. lol.

Fkn Dominion. hehe.

So, we get home yesterday and there's a notice on our door that Virginia Power is going to cut off the power from 6:00 to 6:45 this morning. Shit. Our alarm clock goes off at 6:30. What if the power's not in? So, we scramble around yesterday to find batteries to put in the alarm clocks so hopefully they'll still go off and wake us up, and I set the alarm on my phone too.

Go to sleep, and at like 3:00, the power goes off. Wakes us both up, and it's a pain in the ass to go back to sleep. Then, around 4:30 or 5:00 rolls around, and we start waking up.. just KNOWING that the power's going to go off again any minute now. Goes off around 5:45 (pretty much still awake) and comes back up at like 6:05. Great. So the alarm clock does go off as it should, so I disable the alarm on my phone. Noo, couldn't be that easy. That goes off too.

So, I don't know. Just a pain in my ass. I didn't sleep like well at ALL last night and I woke up with a crazy bad headache this morning because of it. I hope it doesn't come back.

Family Reunion!

We had my family gathering today down in Franklin. My family can be so country sometimes, it's funny. It was good times by all though. The food was incredible, as usual. :D And then we went out to dinner afterwards. I got some Buffalo wings.. I'd been craving those bad boys for like 2 weeks. Really hit the spot.

Ok, off to bed! :D

Sigh

I'm a complete and total world of warcraft addict.

Wewp for long weekends

So, I got a 3 day weekend last weekend, and that was pretty nice. I've worked Tuesday, Wednesday, and today (thursday) of this week. Laura and I took off Tomorrow, and everywhere's closed on Monday, so this week should even be a four day weekend. I'm so excited about that, it should be niiice.

Work hasn't been too bad. It's been a slow week, and thus I haven't gotten much done. It's not too bad, I haven't had too much pressing that I really NEEDed to do, but now that the year is starting afresh, I'm going to have to get a lot more done.

I've been thinking about new year's resolutions, and in the past, I've always just said that I want to lose weight. The fact of the matter is that it's more than that with me. I never have any motivation to DO anything -- be it eat right, exercise, or even do things around the house that I know I need to do.

Problem is that I can't will myself to "be more motivated" because that just isn't realistic. So, what I'm going to try to do is just say "screw it, just do what you need to do."

Whether I have the motivation or will or whatever to do what I need to do, I CAN consciously make myself just get up off my lazy ass and do things, and that's just what I'm going to have to do. Sure, I've tried in the past, but only about half-assedly, so this time, it's going to be full-out. No more Mr. Lazy Guy. :D

I think that's going to be it for this year. That should solve a lot of my problems. hehe.

How about you guys?

Early Merry Christmas

I'm at work, again! I know that I didn't want to be, but I'm about to leave. We all just got done watching National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, and it was pretty funny.

I hope everyone has an awesome weekend and a Merry Christmas.

Why it's always about work

I was thinking earlier today, I always post on here when I'm on a break at work or something like that. I can also only do it when I'm here in the office. I have a lot of things that I have made a habit of doing at home each night, mostly consisting of checking email, hopping on WoW to check auctions, etc. I really need to put posting to this thing in my nightly routines.

I sometimes wonder how I'm ever going to go back and read later to see how I'm feeling if I never post in here.

Anyway, so what's been going on in my life? It's been pretty productive, actually. I've got off tomorrow with Laura, and we're going to drop her car off again to make sure we're done with all the work that we need to get done on it. We've been doing a lot of planning and such for our wedding (Which is April 14th of next year for all those of you who may be interested). I got baptised last sunday at church, so that's cool. I've gotten a bunch done at work lately, but still not as much as I'd like to. I have a bunch of different things that I need to be working on and so sometimes it's kinda tough to keep up with it all. I'm going to work on prioritizing all of it so that I can knock things out instead of just dancing around them.

That's about it, really. Life seems rather normal.
