The @#$@#$ I do when I'm bored.
So I've been doing really well lately. I'm completely swamped by work (today I feel like slacking sooo.....let the slackage begin!).
I haven't updated this thing in a while because lately I've been feeling whiney and bitchy. I'm going on month number 3 of a 5 month run. I leave in August to Thailand with a few of my coworkers. That's the plan anyway. Those plans are looking more and more like they are going to drop by the wayside.
I bought a house. Well it's more of a ranch then a house. I am waiting for more pictures that can give the place justice. The only picture I have of the exterior is a huge red metal roof. The metal roof is supposed to be better insulation. I'm not really sure. Anyway it's 3 bedrooms with a study. ( and three bathrooms!) The master bathroom has a stand up shower (with a seat in it) and a jacuzzi set up. I've been checking out this sauna set up on ebay that I really like. It looks awesome but may be too....out of place for the decor of the house as it is now. It's on 2 acres of land with a porch that wraps around 3/4 of the building.
Oh yeah I just bought an internet set up for my room...now I will be charging people to surf porn!..I mean.....chat with their loved ones...
Back to the house. I like everything about it except one major flaw. It's located in south Texas. I guess that's why I was able to get such an awesome deal on it. There are plenty of projects that I want to do with it. I think I can make back a good portion of my money after a few thousand dollars and some sweat invested. My family thinks that I am buying this house so that I can have a place to settle down. I'm thinking....not so much. I just wanted to focus my money on something other then Xbox 360 games.
Speaking of money..did you know I had a portfolio? I didn't know I had one until I got an e-mail from Fidelity Investments. I forgot that I still had money in there. I thought I had withdrawn all of it but apparently not. So now I can throw some more of this paycheck into Fidelity and let it grow some more. I've got a diverse portfolio. I feel like such a yuppy!
What does this have to do with Thailand? I was sold on the idea a few days ago. Then I realized that I may not be able to go to Thailand if I have to go to the states to sign at the closing.
So I sat back and realized that I need to publicly apologize to a few people. Namely Mike and Janet. I was such a punk last time I was in the states. I was so busy trying to please everyone and making plans and wanting to do this...and wanting to do that....I totally flaked out on them. I've been trying to work up the courage to send them an e-mail to apologize. However it's always been the path of least resistance if I just ...you know....not say anything.....anyways....I'm sorry guys. I'm trying to make better plans. Which is weird because usually all of my plans are last minute....and thrown to the wayside.
Oh yeah. I know Thailand has this huge sex trade deal going on...but it's really not my bag...not that I can't be convinced....let's face it...I've been doing the monk thing in Iraq for the past few months. But I found out that I can be a liscensed diver...and a licensed sky diver for a fraction of what it would cost me in the states! Woot! Also this places has beautiful bit....er..beaches...ha!! I'm succumbing to the temptation to be a total geek. I will close this post with this final thought.
Where DID I put my damn pencil?
*throws hugs*
*gone*
