Hello!? :echo: hello … hello …

Tuesday, April 6th, 2004

Wow … umm … yeah … hi! I just had to clean off all the cobwebs that were hanging from all the walls in here. Yeah yeah I know, it’s been quite a while since I’ve given ANY type up serious update on my life. (As if anyone cares or anything) And since now I’m on Spring Break, I have some spare time to bring you up to speed.

But yah … the biggest thing happening I think has been the remodeling of the bathrooms in our house. 2 of the 3 bathrooms in our house have been remodeled. Downstairs we stripped the linoleum from the bathroom and hallway and replaced it with tile. We did all the work ourselves. We stripped the wall paper and relocated the vanity in the bathroom and put new wallpaper up and a new vanity and mirror and light fixture. It looks great in there now, I must say.

And then we had the master bathroom completely remodeled. We hired a contractor to do all the work and they’ve been working since the middle of January and are just about finished. The bathroom is completely done, there are just a few minor things left to do in the rest of the master bedroom before everything is COMPLETE. I’ll post pictures soon of before and after work in both bathrooms. The third bathroom will be remodeled soon, we just literally couldn’t live without all three bathrooms.

Other than that, there’s really nothing immensely new going on. I went to Vegas in March with Brian and Courtney to watch Lealta perform. If you remember, we did the same thing last year and once again, we had a blast. Well, I had as much fun as I could have as a 20-year-old in Vegas when all my friends are 21 or over. So yeah, it coulda been better, but overall it wasn’t too bad. I only got kicked out of 1 hotel, the Monte Carlo. The whole thing was kinda stupid, and I felt like I ruined Brian’s and Courtney’s nights because we had to go back to our hotel and just hung out in the room for the rest of the night. But oh well.

I’ve had my Jetta for over a year now, and it’s been great to me. Only thing that I’ve had a problem with is the brakes. Appairently I had the rear breaks down to metal-to-metal and so I had to get all new rotors and rear pads and everything. So that cost me a decent amount. But oh well.

And so now, it’s April 6th. Exactly 3 weeks from my 21st birthday. Am I excited? Yes! Am I excited strictly because I’m going to be 21? Not really. I’m excited because of what I’m doing for my birthday. Gonna go watch the Padres down at the new stadium, Petco Park. And then afterwards, head over to the Gaslamp and have some more fun. All with my family, including my sister, who will be down for her best friend’s wedding shower. So WOO!

Oh, and in May, I’m going to Key West for a company-paid vacation (sort of). Basically our company holds these seminars every year (they call it an Annual Training Meeting). Well, they send a whole bunch of employees to a different location every year and they have these training seminars that the employees attend. But the cool thing is, only a percentage of people are invited to attend, and this year I was invited. So I get to go to Key West for 4 days; all company-paid. Air, hotel, breakfast, lunch, dinner … all covered. How sweet is that? =o) Unfortunately I won’t get much time to do fun stuff like snorkeling or sight-seeing.

That’s all I can report for now. I’ll post up more things as I think of them.
