Moving, Living And Of Course Laughing

First off, I must write about my trip to the cities that was. . . a month ago. Shame on me for not getting that done.

I had a blast and let me tell you, that bank in Owatonna is mighty fine! O_O I wish I could bank there! I would love to work there, but maybe the awe would eventually disappear because I would see the splendor every day. I'm glad my chef invited me to come because I had a blast meeting her friends and seeing that beautiful structure. I know for a fact that you will betting an A in that class my talented chef!

Then I went with Char to continue my weekend of fun! Let me tell you, we played a lot of Wii, or Wilbii, as I like to call her. She is my second female electronic device. ^_^ Futune, is of course, the first. So Thursday night we just chilled and then on Friday we went snow tubing! OMG, that was a blast! Like I mentioned in the post before this I had a major wipe out, but it's all good. My backside hurt for a few days, but not too badly. *laughs* One of the guys that worked there was a super spinner. Wow, was it a rush toward the end of the day when the runs became icy. Imagine, spinning down a big hill going super fast and below is some bad padding to stop you. ^_^ Quite the rush and quite invigorating! Thank you for wanting me to come and do that Char!

On Friday I finally got to meet Mike, the guy I met on geek2geek.com. He is quite the gentleman. This was a date and I figured he would pay for dinner and I will tell you it was quite difficult for me to hold my tongue and not say, "I'll pay for myself." I've come to realize guys like doing that. *sighs* He even paid for Char, since she joined us. That worked out quite well really. I felt comfortable around him anyway, but having that extra person to talk to made things easier. We went to a neat little restaurant called The Chatterbox. You can play old NES, SNES, Genesis & Atari games there for a buck. I don't know how long you have to play, but it is a cool idea. Not only can you play classic vid games, but you can bring a board game to your table to play while you wait for your food. That is free, but we didn't do that either because we were too busy talking. I had a great time and I know he did too. At the end I think he wanted to hug me, but it just didn't pan out because it was such an awkward moment. The first of the evening really, but he did say, "Next time we will have to play a game." Woot, second date in my future. ~_^

Saturday Char and I went shopping. *clears throat* Char, you sure have a knack of spending my money for me. *laughs* Best Buy ended up being a VERY dangerous place for me. That is where we met Meggles. We then went back to Char's and all 3 of us played Wilbii. They both had a ton of fun and I'm glad. Meggles, I know you were worried about bothering us, but trust me babe, you added to the fun! ^_^ Never worry about being a bother. After having a few good laughs with the Wii we went to dinner at Appleflies. Hmmm, fried flies FTW! They have this 3 platter thing now, so I ordered mini cheesburgers (not all that mini), Spinach dip w/ chips and shrimp. It's kind of an odd combination, but it was good. Next time I think I will get the mozzarella sticks instead of the dip. I love spinach dip, but for some odd reason this dip just didn't hit the spot. It was still good mind you, just not super. After dinner we went to see "Horton Hears a Hoo." That movie is quite adorable. The acting and animation were both done well. I would not buy it, but if it was on TV I would stop and watch it.

After all the fun I had of making mochas, seeing movies, playing in snow and going on dates it was time to go home. It was a great vacation away from here! *big grin*

Now, on to some current news. I am moving at the end of May. Fortunately, I will be moving a few blocks away, so the move shouldn't be too difficult. Once it hits May, Swiss and I will have been roomies for 2 years! Can you believe it? I can't, time certainly has a way of sneaking by. It has been a good run, but it is time for us to go on our own now. ^_^ I am still looking for a house, but the (pardon my typing) shit holes I have seen do not impress me and the better houses are out of my price range. I have to admit that being one income makes it very difficult to do such things. Once I do find the right house, however, I know that I will not have any problem getting a loan. Wootzorz for awesome credit. . . of DOOOOOM! *evil grin*

Wing chun is still going well. Craig has asked me to help him with a women's safety workshop in June and I said yes. He wants to show women that there are women in martial arts and that wing chun is not a scary thing to learn. Also this summer we are going to work with bamboo sticks! This will teach us to move while doing proper hand movements. What we are learning with bamboo sticks is not wing chun, but Kali, a Fillipino art. *super excited*

Next weekend is Boston's b-day and Meggles is coming, so we can plan our trip! So next weekend will be a good one. I got Boston a nerf gun called the Long Shot. I can't wait to pla. . . . I mean, see him play with it. >_>; I'm sure HE will have a ton o'fun! *nervous giggle*

This weekend went well, or is going well so far. Yesterday, the anime club had another video game/pizza party. Everyone seems to have so much fun! I figure that we can do that twice a year. One in the winter and one in the spring. I have no clue what I'm going to do for the summer. They all want to continue it during the summer, but the library is closed on the weekends. I think they even close at 5 pm on weekdays. Doesn't really work out when I work on the weekdays. I have thought about letting them start meetings by themselves and I could come later, or have them leave the DVDs at the library desk and I could pick it up later. *shrugs* I'm sure we will work it out.

Well, I believe that updates my life for a bit. Now I should go clean my room. . . or play WoW. >_> Ok, ok, I'll clean. *sigh* Has to be done sometime, might as well be now. ^_^
