I'm still here.

 I really suck at updating this thing........


So, I figure both of my readers would want to know how my vacation back in August went.  It was kind of like this.....



Meeting Jason David Frank = AWESOME!

Everything else = It was ok.

I was originally going to write detailed accounts of how everything went, but that's really more work then I'm willing to put into something that happened almost two months ago.  It breaks down like this....

Six Flags: Fun, but I need to lose some weight before I go back.  I WILL ride Batman next year!  (that...just sounds wrong)

Comicon: Fun, but too much like a glorified mall with overly inflated prices for most of the stuff people are selling.  Though, I did find this cool booth that sold awesome board games at marked down prices, that's where a lot of my money went.  I also picked up some nifty items for Pixie & the younglings while I was there. That was a lot of fun.

Flashback: Underwhelming. 

Camping: Lonely.  Left a day early.  This might be my last solo camping trip.  The highlight was me eating two "special" cookies the night before I left & finding out why the feeling is called "stoned". 

Things haven't really changed much on my end.  Had a health scare at the beginning of September that made me reevaluate my eating habits.  I haven't drank a can of soda or eaten a bag of potato chips since.  I'm also cooking more at home. 

Work is going ok.  Going on my third supervisor in November.  Hopefully this one sticks around.  I'm finding myself back in a mentor role after the last couple of weeks of being a peer mentor for the last couple of new hires.  It looks like I'll be transitioning back into a floor walker role this Sunday.  Assuming I'm not kept on board for another week of training.

Pixie & I went to go see Gravity last weekend.  Wow!  It was an amazing ride.  I highly recommend it.  A few scenes really hit us right in the feels, but I enjoy movies that elicit an emotional response from me.  Sandra Bullock needs to win an Oscar for this film!

And as I look ahead on the calender, I see the holiday trifecta is nearly upon us.  Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.  I'm looking forward to them this year more then last.  It should be a fun time. 

 Till next time.  :-)
