Slow and steady
Been slacking, I know. Loads of things going on. As Molly mentioned, Labor Day weekend was a blast! I'm still getting strange cravings for deep-fried Oreos and Italian sausage in the middle of the night.
I moved into my new apartment this past Monday. I'm so excited to be sleeping in my own bed again! I'm still swimming through boxes, but things are beginning to shape up. I spent over $200 at Wal*Mart last night for such essentials as dishes, cups, shower curtains, toilet paper, and a Chef wall clock. All necessities. I have decided to go with a red, white, and blue theme (gee, I wonder where I got that idea) which lends itself conveniently to pretty much all household items. The apartment is a good size for one person though it's just small enough that I can't fit my friend's bumper pool table into the living room. And the view! The view, particularly at night, is amazing. I'm on the 12th floor facing the Allegheny River. I can see the Heinz ketchup bottle pouring slowly and repetitively, PNC Park if I squint real hard, the train tracks right below me, and several bridges along the river. The History Museum sign (looks like a red atomic symbol) is practically close enough to use as a night light.
In other news, I flew a plane on Friday. Yes, I know you all just read that as "flew IN a plane," but no, I actually steered it and kept us aloft for five minutes. My coworker has his license and we went up Friday afternoon to take aerial photographs of a few of the projects we're working on. After I was done with the photo shoot, he let me take over. It was very exciting, but I still think I'm going to stick with my motorcycle dream and keep my feet on the ground. But isn't this the best job ever? Flying planes, all in a day's work!
I think I have a crush on that coworker too. He's getting married next month, so I'm trying to get him to introduce me to his friends instead. His excuse is, that he likes me too much to inflict them upon me. We'll have to see about that.
Upcoming events include a possible date (rendezvous? tete-a-tete?) with my sister's coworker (assuming she hasn't ruined my chances already by telling him that I don't keep guys around long), another Povertyneck Hillbillies concert, and two of my friends in town this weekend for my birthday on Saturday! And friends in town means I gotta get my place straightened up by the time they get here Friday night!
