Beers & Planers :) :/

When my friend started showing me planer reviews online, my first question was, "wtf is that, Bro?!"  Unfortunately, he took the liberty of showing me a few reviews and pictures and the purpose of a planer.  It's exactly what it is derived from... planer.

The joy.

If that's not bad enough, his dad came home and forced us to go into the garage and join him in some projects.  He wants us to build a small, simple coffee table.  I mean, I suppose it is sort of important but I'd rather be doing this:



I want to feel that manly.  I guess that's what the project is supposed to do.

Other than that, I am thinking of taking a Java programming class at the community college ten minutes away.  I am dreading the paperwork but community colleges usually have an open door policy.  Guess I have a different mindset than I did a year ago and I think I'm interested in programming... applications, maybe.  It can also be boring but I love debugging so I think I can do something with this.

I think mom's calling for din-din.  Update in a bit.

Can't... Even... LOL!

I laughed at that way too hard!  I'm so sick of the political scene here but thank goodness I don't live in D.C.  I'd hate it there... I've visited and don't care for the scene there.

Anyways... so, I've been reviewing a thank you card template for a girl who did me a favor.  In all seriousness, the situation is a bit tricky since I not only like her but she's in my group of friends, so I am cautious about confessing my feelings to her.  My best bud thinks I'm being a wimp but he also realizes how tricky it could get...

Whatever.  I want to go bowling and stuff my face with some pizza & beer <3  Maybe I'll hit up friends on Twitter & Facebook and see which duffers wanna join me ;)

PS. Before I go: I highly recommend you check out Once Upon a Time on Netflix.  I remember it got a lot of hype years ago and back then, just couldn't get into it.  Finally! A month ago I did and the first two seasons are really good.  The third one is a bit... different, so I'll see how that goes..... but definitely worth your time.  I need to check out Hulu as well.

Is This A Good Investment... Or Nah?

I love being in the outdoors.  I love being active.  I love having bonfires at night after spending the whole day surfing at the beach with my friends.  Love that taste of the salt water, salt in the air, salt in the hair... the roughness of the skin afterwards.

Everyone seems to GLOW!

I used to have a canoe that I sold about.. say, two years ago?  Maybe three.  I have fond memories of it, of spending time with my dad and sister by the water.  We'd painstakingly pack our picnics Friday night and head out early as we could on Saturday morning.  It would be so much fun.  Sometimes, we'd barbecue.

I've been looking up inflatable kayak reviews and I am pretty torn about what to get.  Should I save money and experiment with something like the Sea Rebel or go all out with the AHTK 2 one, for two people, since the intent is to spend time and do activities with my family?!

The advantage of the Airhead Montana is that it'd be pretty roomy even if I took it out by myself.  And with two people, it should be great.  I think I'll have to work a couple of Overtime shifts and all should be good.

Look at this sweet baby though, lol... (the yellow one, I meant).

I think I'm going out for a hike tomorrow.  My only concern is the heat and the amount of rattle snakes that come out... ;(  I've seen some thick freakin' ones that put the fear of God in me.  Maybe I'll call a buddy or two to join me?

Ah, what the hell.  Spend some time in nature.  It always seems to ground me.  Even if I'm alone.  Especially then... I feel like a bad ass, lol.

Gah, Stress!

I am so stressed out~!  There is SO MUCH COMING UP THIS SUMMER!  This weekend is the drag show and in a few weeks is a corporate event and finally, a good friend’s bridal shower and wedding.  Eek!  

While I love all of this, it’s also hard to manage my stress.  Luckily, I know I can rely on jugglinginferno.com since I’ve worked with them before.  It worked out so well that I have hired them for all three events and yes, they will work for all three.  What I love, is that they will cater to most of the events.  Classy, as needed, then flirtatious vibe, and not to mention, the fire jugglers are a great deal of fun and that “wow” factor people talk about for years to come… which means they will remember the corporate event and all that good jazz ;)

Another thing I’m almost done with, is hiring a caterer.  For the drag show, nada.  Just alcoholic arrangements ;)  That should be oh-so-much fun as there will not only be drag kings but drag queens!  The makeup on these men and women is fantastic and glorious and I can’t say enough good things.  They surely know how to let loose and have fun.

I’m still sampling caterers for the bridal shower and that’s hard because this is for my best friend.  I feel teary eyed because we have been life long friends and well… I’m very happy to celebrate this momentous occasion with her.  I think she will be quite happy with Mark!

Gah, I gotta rush off but more updates later… PS How To Get Away With Murder Season 2 just got really, really good.  Netflix it if you haven’t.  I loved Season 2 way more than Season 1!

Tables Can Turn... Any Time!

Ever since I was a teenager, I’ve loved my gaming consoles and my iPhone as well (I only got that a couple of years ago, lol).  It’s probably because when I was really young, my older siblings and friends would NEVER let me touch their Nintendo, Super Nintendo, Playstation, or Playstation 2… and then it happened.  

I knew the Xbox 360 was coming out, duh, so I worked all summer long without telling my siblings what I was saving for.  I had to skip out on going to the movies a couple of times and hanging out with girls (don’t worry, I do that enough now, haha!) but like… yeah, that was torturous but I realized something: I am mentally quite capable of resisting crap to achieve my goals.

And then it happened! I bought my first major electronic device: the glorious Xbox 360 and my brothers weren’t happy when I shut the door on them when I played it for the first time, ha!  But, the next day, I negotiated fair time with their laptops for an hour each of game play for them, on my new baby, with lots of rules.

Now, I have the iPhone 6 but I wanna upgrade soon.  I’ve already looked at iPhone chargers and this site seems to have a decent and fairly cheap selections.  I usually trust Amazon but I think I will give this place a shot because a friend recommended them to me.

I don’t know what the lesson is: I guess I do.  Be nice to other people because once they get rich, they can mess with you back, LoL :P  Look at me now.  Naaah, I'm still very nice to my siblings because family is all you have at the end of the day.  Remember that, Kids!

Well, Then...

Who would cheat on a woman like Beyonce especially?! Not that anyone deserves that crap!!

Welcome Back!

Welcome Back!

This is where I'll be posting my weekly updates.  I have missed blogging and well, why the heck not!

Oh yeahhhh, so, my grandmother has been using a scooter for a few years now. It's a very basic one, and although it helps her get around, I wanted to get her a brand new one with awesome accessories. She's always been there for me and helped me pay for college. She didn't want the money back, even though she didn't have a lot left, so this is the least I can do for her. Well, this and making sure she has what she needs :)

I found a mobility scooters website to see the different kinds they had, and what all could be installed on it. It might be expensive, but I have saved up for a while now, and I really do owe it to her. If she hadn't of helped me pay for college, I would have never made it through and gotten this great job I have now. It will have baskets, for when we go grocery shopping together. She can carry her own food around and it can hold a sweater for when she gets cold. Sometimes she does need oxygen, so I was happy to see they had an oxygen tank holder. No matter where and when she might need it, she'll have it close to her. I also got a seat belt for added protection, since she is older. It's got a rechargable battery so my uncle can charge it while she sleeps. I also am looking into having a lift installed in his van, but not quite yet. I want to be able to take her on trips, since I know she loves to travel and see new places. But for now, she has really been enjoying the upgrade, and I'm so happy I could do this for her. We will be taking trips soon enough!

But look at this bad boy though ;)
