Been a bit busy
In the week leading up to my moving in and the week after my moving, I only worked 4 day weeks, and yet still ended up working a 60 hour week on both occasions. 15 hour days have been wearing on me, especially since my home isn't set up yet. There is nothing I love more than a routine that includes 12 hours at the office, a quick 5 mile run, a stocked fridge when I get home, and an hour or two on the couch before getting to bed. Without the couch, a stocked fridge, and with me spending an extra 3 hours at the office I've been a takeout food eating, non exercising, corporate whore.
I ran 3 miles today for the first time in two weeks and am real excited about getting it into my routine. My route around the downtown area takes me up one of the main streets overlooking the Greenville skyline, past 3 of the "South Carolina sized skyscrapers," and through the west end bar district and Fluor Field.
Actually exercising inspired me to go to the grocery store and actually stock my place with some healthy food. Not only will i cease to continue putting on America weight, but its a lot cheaper than ordering pizza and picking up Moes.
Saturday
Saturday was the day I've been waiting for. My couches, recliners, and office furniture was scheduled to be delivered.
They did not come. After a very angry conversation with an operator at Ashley furniture I was told that they would be available on the 11th (a day I am going out of town) (more on that later). I'm not really willing to miss much more work for this furniture, but am really upset that I might not have my couch and recliners until the 19th. As a plus I got a complimentary $200 gift certificate. I need to stop by the showroom and check out their giant clocks or old maps. (two fixtures I always have in my homes)
One plus of the day, while I was waiting for furniture I discovered "Community" on Hulu Plus. I've been marathoning it most of the weekend. I adore Joel McHale's character, he is the perfect example of self serving evil with a cumbersome conscience that I strive for.

What's In The Fridge...
I originally conceived this section as a summary of what beers I am currently drinking, and then it occurred to me that it might bring comfort to my mother to know I actually have real food in my refrigerator.
As I type this I am drinking Luckie Batch 2, an American Wheat Ale brewed by my brother an myself a few weeks ago. My brother is making an art project out of beer bottle caps so I've constrained my commercial beer choices to beers with black tops (a high priority need of his) for a few weeks. Black capped commercial beers currently in my fridge include the Magic Hat Summer Variety pack and Sweet Water IPA.
Mommy, I also have steamer vegetable packs, low sodium spicy V8, Almond Milk, and a whole bunch of yogurt packets.
Next Weekend
Friday after work, hopefully I'll be doing about a half day, I'm driving up to DC for the DC101 Chili Cookout, featuring one of my top 5 favorite bands, CAKE!!! I've never seen them in concert and am really excited. I'm also excited about being there with Annie, her fiance Eric, and Ronak. Yeah, yall get shout outs.
Cloud 9
This week I completed the transfer of all my documents, music, and pictures to the cloud. I'm all kinds of excited.
I'm gonna get Lawyered...
This is the second section I've added after publishing but am really exited to announce that not only did my brother get into law school, but he and his wife will be staying in Columbia!!! I'm really excited to be living just an hour an half from them for a while.
