Ah friends…
Chad was in town today for all of ... 12 hours or something... He had a zefer reunion thing last night... we were all able to grab breakfast this AM though... me, chad, bob, lisa, bob's brother Joe, and fellow Ex-zefer jeff. It was nice to see everyone again. It was a nice group. It is nice to see old friends and hang out. Then I drove Chad to the airport and we chatted. He is a good guy. We differ on a few points, but overall, a great guy.
We ate at Flying Saucer, on California south of Division. It was really good. Way Veggie. Rebecca and I will need to go back.
I drove the jetta around all morning and to the airport and shit. It is a fun car, and I will be happy when I have it all done. I enjoy driving it. I will enjoy it more when I fix the things that are broken, but man, it is a fun little car.
The weather is super nice. I turned off the AC and opened all the windows. Cosby is thrilled. I set up all the accounts and bill pay stuff at washington mutual's site. Now I gotta go get working on the basement. I need that floor done so we feel more moved in.
It will be nice...
back in the saddle…
So we had an autox on saturday... while I thought the weather was going to suck, the clouds and rain kept the temps down. it was very nice. The computer timing went perfect. This was the first time this season that I have actually drove MY audi at an autox. It was kinda of nice to get back in the groove. It was also nice to get back in and kick some ass. You can see the results here. I was the fastest Audi, and only lost to the likes of a viper, miata, STI, etc. Not bad company. It was nice to prove to both myself and the rest of the group that I wasn't that rusty. Sometimes it is really nice to win.
Even though it was hot as hell today in Chicago, we moved a bunch of stuff into the new house. Thanks mom, dad, and kevin. I still need to get my stuff packed and ready to go, but nearly all of rebecca's stuff is over there. It is nice to know we have it in the place.
We also went to the place to get the hardwood. Mind you, the price is really really good, and so there is some 'too good to be true' kind of thoughts going on, but I should know more tomorrow when they call me. Hopefully I will have the flooring before the weekend. It will be really nice to get that in the house and we can finish the move.
back at work… (obligatory weekend recap)
the weekend was nice... But this is a long post so read on. Brief recap: Scott's birthday, projector, video games, prenatal appt., baby registry, fireworks...
peanut shells are good..
So I am at work, and my boss has some people in the office from out the town... so I am dressed a bit nicer than usual. Around 11:45 or so, my boss's personal assistant comes up to me and asks me if I want to go to the cubs game today, and I assume she means to accompany my boss. I told her if he wanted me to, I would. She then tells me she has 4 tickets, not sitting with my boss, and if I or my friends can use them that would be great.
So basically, here are 4 tickets, free parking, and I would like you to leave work to make this 1:20 game. ummmmm sure?
So I hit up harper and michael on IM and we are off. Now non of use are huge baseball fans, but you can't beat the price (free) and the seats were great. So we had nachos and pretzels and smoothies and peanuts with the shells and shit as we watched the cubs lose to the Brewers. And we weren't at work. The weather was great too. Can't beat that.
Thanks Boss!
