Thanks to Patrick and Jaime, Greg and Steph, and especially David for making the hike from Cleveland just weeks after his herniated disk surgery, for all the time and energy! I owe you all!

truck is secured! Woot $30 + mileage(60cents a mile with <10 estimated).

I got the 16 footer for 10 bucks more so that we won't have to walk the heavy stuff up a ramp. that should make it a little easier.

I had a good time at G&S's last night. We cooked out, had some drinks, and played some games. R&B were there too. I learned a dice game called farkle, and lost a game of poker to B.

about time for lunch time poker here, then off to the back and to find a place to fix the flat I got on the honda.

To packing that is... Ug.
Jannelle and I move in together this coming weekend. We are both really looking forward to it. We've been together for 7 years now, and this is a big move for us, no pun intended. This is conceivable my last sunday living by myself... I've spent the weekend playing World of Warcraft (woot lvl 58!!!), reading HP6, and procrastinating my packing.
I attended a really nice party at Pat and Jaime's place yesterday to celebrate Pat's M.B.A.. Those 2 are some really great people. I really look forward to spending more time with them. Pat and I have a lot of common interests. Today I've actually made a small start with my packing. On top of that, I watch the F1 race this morning. BAR's Jensen Button raced a good race, GO HONDA!!! I've just browned up 1lb of ground beef(yes it's free range) to make a big taco salad. I wanted to have dinner a couple nights this week that will be easy. I anticipate a lot of long nights at work and with packing. David may be coming in to help move. well Time to finish some stuff... I'm headed to G&Ss for din din tonight... then over to work to get a head start on the stuff I need to get finised up.


And for your viewing pleasure, my cowgirl Jannelle!!!!

I've revamped this place becuase I was sick of the way the right frame was causeing all pictures to display BELOW it unless I reformat the size...

I have some cathing up to do with everyone. Last weekend is where I'll start since I can't really remember past then. Sal and Colin came down on Thursday for the weekend. I think over all it was a good time. I'm sorry about the uncomfortable couch, Sal. We me up with Greg and Steph for an evening at the Works, one of my new favorite places. I was under the impression that it was an old fire house, but I guess it was just part of the water works... Either way, it's a pretty old building that has a lot of character. All the food that I've had there has been pretty good, including their specialty brick-oven pizzas. It's no Myles, but it tastes wonderful. My favorite thing about the place is their draft beer selection. They have a few my fav. beers on tap... namely Bell's Two Hearted Ale. It's an IPA brewed in Kalamazoo Michigan. mmm Beer
On saturday we enjoyed a showing of Batman Begins at the local IMAX. I really enjoyed the movie, and the theater was great. It was a dollar more per ticket to see the movie, but it is worth the extra to see "big" movies there. Then we went to Chipotle and met up with Greg and Steph again. Sal and Colin were both satisfied with their HUGE portions of good stuff all wrapped up in a wonderful tortilla. later that evening we then went to Competion Racing and had a great time karting. I know that Sal didn't have a good time, sorry man, and it was like playin Mario Kart as King Koopa/Bowser watching Colin. Greg and I enjoyed it so much that we are recruiting Pat for the fall league. It'll be a blast! Saranga got roughed up, and his back ended up pretty hurt. Colin and I went over to G&Ss for a bonfire and drinks to finish the night.
Monday and Tuesday were spent in Sandusky for our annual "meeting". WE sat down and discusses work related stuff for about 45 minutes on tuesday, the rest of the time was party time. There was a lot of drinking and having fun.
The rest of the week was back in Cinci, where I worked my tush off. I was at work late wednesday and thurday, also several days of the week prior. I am having a really difficult time swapping ISPs. It's not the actual ISP swapping that is an issue, but getting the PIX to PIX VPN tunnel back up. Oi!
Jannelle came to town on Friday and we had a very productive weekend. We found a place to live!!! We have a place just down the road. Assuming my credit app goes through ok, Then I'll have a movin date of Thursday the 28th. I am entertaining any offers for help. Anyone that would like to come visit has as much floor space as they want..... J and I went out to Dinner last night with Pat and Jaime, and Greg and Steph. We all had calzones at Dewey's. Then it was back to P&J's wonderful place for a round of munchkin. I think it was the first time I've won. everyone was lvl9 and I was lvl6 at the start of my turn. I sold off enough stuff to get lvl9, then beat the lvl 3 monster with ease for the win.
Greg and Steph came over today... It was Tour de Loveland day, the annual bike race. The people here are pretty serious about their bikes. the place jannelle and I have picked out is even closer to the bike trail than I currently am, and I just got my bike back from the shop.. I'm really excited about riding it....
please excuse the slopply post.. having so much to catch up on makes it tough.

Jannelle, Good luck on your exams on monday!

I have a lot to catch with, but this won't be the post. Colin and Sal are nearly here, and I'm cookin din din. spaghets for tonight! whoops, gotta get the laundry.
