ehhhgg it is cold yo!

I, brilliant as i am, wore flip flops today. smart..... cause we dont have heat in our office, and it is january. wow, sometimes my intellegence really suprises me.

I now have a couch, and a cushy chair. They were donated to me from my neighbors that moved out. They are both pretty clean, and in good shape, but i imagine that i will be steam cleaning them before my rear end really gets to know them too well.

I finished a big project i was working on for the past several weeks, that kind of feels really good. I am about to start on the new doors for the center. A fun little project.

I was supposed to start working at sweets a few nights a week, but that aint happenin, because the girl i was supposed to replace decided she was going to stay. So, oh well, but i might be getting a roommate for a month or so in Feb. because hands on is kicking out all of their long term volunteers.

The productivity goals are coming along, but i have not become totally productive yet.
I am working towards it. I am adding another goal, to make one thing every week in my own time.

alright. have a good day

Government Street Grocery

So, i went out last night for a second, and not to the normal Sweets lounge. I went to the government street grocery, down town ocean springs, which turned out to be a good decision. I love sweets, so dont get me wrong in saying this, but it was nice cause i was surrounded by men and women in their late 20's and early 30's. it was really nice. Auburn did even have a bar like this. Ahhhh.... And i hear i can bring deloris in there.

So last night, i decided that although sweets is pretty freakin awesome, it is time i try to find people that are around my own age. I was honestly a bit nervous walking into a new bar all by my self. But after i got a beer(they have a great beer selection) a guy sitting a few seats down from me offered me some boiled peanuts. then some girls sat down with them, and they started talking to me. Then a few guys walked up to the bar to order drinks, and they introduced them selves to me. this is the fastest i have ever met folks. it was awesome. I will probably go back another night next week.

On another note, i was pretty freakin productive yesterday. i woke up real early and got to it. i swept and mopped my entire house. I put away all of my clothes and straightened up my closet, i cleaned my kitchen, i moved my tv to my living room, swept off the porch, i cooked banana bread and vegie soup, took deloris for a long walk, and went to the gym. all before 3:00. but as soon as it hit around 3 i kind of just started getting distracted and started surfing the internet instead of working. maybe it is around then that i need a cup of tea or something, to kind of perk me up. i dunno. anyway, it felt good getting so much crap done.

i am going to work at it today. I woke up a little later today, but i wanna be productive till atleast 6 pm. thats the goal. no messing around until 6pm.

this schedule thing is hard

Ha ah, well no kidding, it is just difficult to be busy all day long. I dont have a problem with it in the morning as much as i do in the evening. Maybe i should start drinking tea in the evening to wake me up a bit, but i dont want to be up all night long. but, i was pretty productive yesterday, and it felt good. so, day two of being productive begins.

List of stuff to do on 1-3-07

move tv and table to living room,
put shelves together
change sheets
hang up clothes

continue working on jay's website

First day back to work

Today is my first day back to work after the break. It is nice to be back. I am working on a new house, and i will finish that tomorrow. I went to go meet the owner, and he was the smilingest man in the world. his name is arnel. He lives in the house with his daughter and her 5 kids. It is not a very large house, but he seems to make do just fine.
When we were leaving the house, a man out side, leaning on his black truck(i guess it was his) drinking a beer, started sayin "eh... eye...ayyy...ayyy denn doit. ayy denn doit." We just kept walking, then he said "happy new years" then he said "ayy denn doit, i nee a jobh" i dont know what he didnt do,b but i dont want to find out.
Oh yeah, so, myplumbing is getting fixed today!!!!! WEEEEEE. i get to go take a shower at my own house.

My newyears resolution is to be more productive(what ever that means) but no, i mean, schedule my day, so that i get more done in my life, in my work, in my own body of work. making time to learn things, and to make things, and design stuff, and clean my house. I dont want to waste any more time. I want to be productive!

Happy New Years and Damn the Worlds Gym for making me break my resolution already. And I need a shower!

Happy New Years,
I am about to head over to sweets to get some bbq in a little while and watch a game, while my black eyed peas cook oh so slowly.

So, last night, i came home to my tub being full of water and my toilet not really draining. hmmmm... so i borrowed a plunger from my neighbor, and i went at it. it did not work, so i went and got some liquid plumber, it didnt work. i gave up, and i am calling my realitor tomorrow. ehhh..... my bathroom kind stinks, and so do i.

So, i was going to go work out, and take a shower at Worlds Gym, the gym that has been my shower for the past few months, and they were closed. what kind of gym closes on the day that everyone makes promises to their selves to get into shape. what were they thinking? come on. they have forced all of us to break our resolution to work out every day.

i mean i know it is possible to work out without a gym, and i do, i just wanted a damn shower. i stink. oh well. i will just wait til tomorrow morning to smell better.


anyway, I have spent most of the day making greens and black eyed peas. I did spend a little time working on that chair right there below. It has so much potential, but just what to do with it is the hard part. I am working on it. I have tried two things, and they did not work, so i am working on another idea.

Well, off to sweets for some lunch.
