February 28

It's the last day of February! And my older brother's birthday, yay. I texted him Happy Birthday earlier and asked if this was the birthday that officially makes him old, or had it already happened. He says :-P, lol. He is 11 years older than I am, and has 5 kids ranging from 21-13. Oh and now, a 3 month old grandbaby!  I cannot even imagine that. I've been trying to think - 11 years from now I will be the age that he is now, and TK will be 24. Wow. And my sister's kids will be 12 and 13. Double wow. Wait, I actually think I'm confusing myself here. Never mind, then...

Well, I didn't really get anything done today, either. TH slept in this morning so I took TK to school. Last night I got an email from Sonic that they were doing half price popcorn chicken today, so I stopped on the way back and got us each a small spicy popcorn chicken and a Super Sonic breakfast burrito. (TH stopped and got some for TK after school) Nom :-) The chicken was pretty good, but it really wasn't what I would consider spicy. I dipped mine in some leftover McDonald's spicy buffalo sauce and it was much better. I ended up staying up until freaking almost 1:00 hanging out with TH, and then woke up at like 7:00 and couldn't go back to sleep. So I'm tired tonight. Kinda feel shitty again, so I don't know what the deal is. I stopped and bought some crackers (and paid $4 for them at 7-11!!) and a Sprite and I'm sitting here at work kinda trying to eat them. It seems like it doesn't matter how long I wait though, as soon as I pick up a cracker and take a bite, a car comes. Fucking people. They do the same thing when I go to the bathroom, too. I'm the only one here so I just kinda have to wait for a slow spot and run pee really quick. 9 times out of 10 when I come out there will be somebody sitting at the door waiting. It's so tempting when they get pissy about it to be like, "What? I had to take a shit, ok?" :-)

Well, I accomplished just about diddly squat today, but I guess that's ok. I stayed up for a while playing Lego Batman and then slept til 8:30 and came to work. I stopped at Taco Bell and got a few of those new Stuffed Griller things. They're actually pretty good. I was super hungry but I ate one and now I'm full. I guess I'll have plenty of leftovers?

I was looking around on Craigslist last night and found this one lady with a bunch of different home decor type items. It kinda looks like she buys stuff on clearance or at thrift stores and resells it on CL. Hmmm, new business idea? Anyway, I found  a couple of things that we like, and TH went to meet her this morning and bought them. One is a wooden sign to hang on the wall that I want to give them, and the other is this pretty little six bottle wine rack with green resin leaves around it. I'm thinking it would be perfect to set back in that huge corner behind the kitchen sink.

I had trouble going to sleep this morning, and then once I finally did I had weird-ass dreams. Not bad, really, just weird. I dunno. Went to pick up TK and stopped by HEB to pick up a few things. I bought a couple of Rockstars, which turned out to be a good idea. I'm pretty tired tonight :-/ Got home and played a little Black Ops 2, then TH picked me up when he got off work and we went to look at the house.

They had dug up and laid out the steel for the driveway and the sidewalk. TH is so happy because they used rebar instead of some driveway mesh type stuff like most people do. So hopefully this way the new driveway won't crack and fall apart like the old one did. The plans called for the sidewalk coming over from the driveway and making a sharp turn up to the house but the foreman decided to have it curve instead. It looks much nicer! It will be easier to mow around, too. They also came in and dig the trench in the back for the electrical conduit.

Holy shit it is windy tonight. It has been like this all day though. If this freaking guardhouse doesn't blow down around me I will be fucking amazed. One of the metal gate bars blew off earlier today, and the rest of them are shaking like crazy. There were power lines and trees down all over town. The worst I actually saw were trash cans all over the road, so that was good.

TH, the butthead, went by the house on his way to work but he didn't tell me he did until after he got home. He didn't take any pictures, either >:-( Although really, when he got there everybody was there and busy and it was a huge clusterfuck, so whatever. He chatted with the foreman for a little bit, and got to hear him bitch about everything that was going wrong. He's kind of a perfectionist, lol.

Yay, it's the weekend! Annnnnd...it's Sunday night :-/ Every damn week, sigh. Friday morning I went home and messed around a little, played a little Lego Batman, then went to bed. Got up early enough to go get Papa Murphy's pizza before I picked up TK from school, then we went by the house. The painters were there working on caulking the gaps in the baseboards and everything. I figured they probably wouldn't start painting Friday because it looked like they had pretty much just gotten there. Checked on the kitties. I thought the dog from back in the corner had jumped the fence into our other neighbor's yard, again, so I called the cops on it, again. Turns out the lady next door is dogsitting a dog that looks exactly like the one that jumps the fence. Oops, lol. Eh, we'll call it a reminder to keep the little fucker in their yard. I know there have been plenty of times that it has been out that we haven't seen it and called it in.

TH got home and we did movie night. We rented The Expendables 2 from Redbox. It was good! I'm kinda hoping now that they do a third one. They kinda left it open enough that I guess they could keep making them until they quit making money. Hung out with TH a little bit and then he went to bed. TK and I stayed up pretty late playing Black Ops 2. It was double, double XP weekend, which means that you rank up and rank up your guns twice as fast :-) I'm finally getting high enough that I'm unlocking some better equipment and stuff, so I do a little better now. I still think I prefer playing custom games with the bots, though. We all start out with the same shit so bots don't kick my ass as bad, lol.

Tired again tonight, but today was fun! I've also got freaking cramps, so that sucks. At least this month I was prepared, lol. I went home this morning and took a short nap, then TH woke me up and we went and looked at some thrift stores. I'm not sure what we were really looking for, but we found a few things. I found a Hello Kitty comforter! It's not the same as the one I had before, but it's still a good one. Most of the newer ones are pretty ugly :-/ I had the Hello Kitty and TH and TK had Transformers. I would still kinda like to replace theirs but I think it's going to be hard to do. We found a couple of neat little things to hang on the wall, and a grilling basket for sausages. TH found a pretty bowl that kinda looks like it will go with the dishes that we want to get from Walmart. He also found a neat little wooden sailing ship to put on his desk. Once we build him a desk, of course. I forget what else...

Oh yeah. My boss is from Alabama, and he's a huge University of Alabama fan. He just moved into a new apartment so I found a picture of the stadium and got it enlarged to an 8x10 for him to hang on his wall. I found a frame for it today for like $2. He's going to be all happy :-) I also found a little Noah's Ark figurine thingie for my mom for her birthday. I talked to her earlier and told her we could come see her next weekend. She was all like, YAY!!!!!! Oh and a bag of those little splash balls, the ones you're supposed to soak in water and throw at people. Not the big ones, but about ping pong ball sized. They're Hiccup toys, lol. He had one a few years ago that he pulled all of the stuffing out of and he would carry it around everywhere. Then he started hiding it and we would think he lost it, only for him to dig it out again two months later and play with it some more.

Holy crap I am tired tonight. Not as tired as I should be I guess, but still tired. I went home and hung out with TH for a little while, then he left to take TK to school and go check out the house. I think I went to bed around 9:00. But then I woke up a little after 2:00 and couldn't go back to sleep. So I got up when he brought TK home. Hung out with him a little bit more, then TK and I played a little Black Ops 2 - Nuketown 2025!! It is freaking awesome! I still think it was a little silly to have spent $15 on it, but oh well. We played a few games of Nuketown zombies and then I came to work. I stopped at Golden Chick on the way and got dinner. It was supposed to be spicy chicken but it wasn't >:-( That's what I get for not checking first, huh? It was still good, though.

We found out that they are going out of town this weekend, and they're leaving after work tomorrow. Movie night Friday! We'll probably get The Expendables 2. Next weekend, however, they are not. I was kinda thinking if there was going to be a weekend before we moved that they were going to stay home, TK and I might go see my mom. Sigh. I know I should - she would be so happy. Plus once we get home I'm not gonna want to go anywhere for a while, lol. So be prepared for the bitching. I've got a week to really get good and whiny about it :-)
