I'm taking Monday off. Not the WHOLE day...just depends on how quick I can get the stuff I have to do done. I hope to be back by lunchtime, and get at least half a day in. Saturday I spent "working on the yard" - because I mean, it's been needing some major work. I desperately need a lawnmower, as toting around a weed-wacker over the front yard is a bit tedious. The good thing is, the neighbor came over and offered to mow my yard. I gracefully declined, because in speaking with the neighbor RIGHT next door, the guy said he'd cut HIS lawn for 20$. And it's not a big yard (same size as mine). I'd rather keep 20$ and do it with a weed-wacker.

That said, I got it done, and started working on redoing the backyard. The spot by the side patio and the side gate is a weed-haven. There was a stone path there, as well, but it wasn't visible due to weed growth. I spent the day yesterday, and part of this morning fixing it up. I cleared it out, laid down some weed-cloth, and placed stones back, but in a wider spread. In looking at it, I may as well put those stone blocks in the WHOLE area (which isn't that big), but of course, I didn't have enough stone to do that. For now, I just put weed cloth over it, and weighted it down. I gotta say, it looks MUCH nicer.

Sunday afternoon? I'm going to Guntersville. Truth be told, I'm "meeting someone". We're going to eat, and then go biking along the lake. I'm really looking forward to it, not just because I'm actually going out and meeting someone, but I'll be biking in a new area. In fact, I've never been up to Guntersville, from what I remember. I'll be leaving in about 10 minutes or so.

Yep, that means I'm spending that 10 minutes doing a "mind dump".

I'm considering staying the night (in a hotel (ALONE haha)) around that area - because on the way back I'll be going through the area I need to run my errands at. I looked up hotels at G'ville, and they run 90$. that's...alot. Cheaper time-wise and gas-wise (I know!) to drive alllll the way back. I may just stop at a place outside of G'ville - tends to be cheaper.

I managed to talk my old roommate into playing WoW - I gave him a free-trial, the same thing that I received. We're playing Alliance characters, and even though my character is quite a bit higher than his, we both still had alot of fun. In fact, it reminded me of the "old days" of WoW, when both of us started playing for the first time.

I'm not sure if he'll re-subscribe to it - in fact, if he "doesn't", he'll be eligible for another 10-day trial when Wrath of the Lich King comes out. One of the things that they are adding is an "achievement" system - basically, a bunch of goals within the game, ranging from hugging 10 different people, to downing a Raid Boss. What catches my eye, are the "side goals", such as "explore the entire world", as well as more challenging ones like "reach level 15 without ever dying".

Regardless, just playing with an old friend was one of the things I love about WoW.

Oh right, we rolled on a RP-PVP server...and the taste of world PVP is quite filling. This morning, I took out a guy that was 3 levels higher than I was...then he logged off and logged into his level 70 character, so he could kill me. Odd reasoning, huh? I found that HILARIOUS, and I'm not sure why.

I read something about the 8 habits of in-shape men. I actually do 5 of those habits on a consistent, every-day basis. But I'm not in shape!!! I guess I need to hit all 8 in order to magically be in shape.

This list gave me the idea of what I do to "win at life". Maybe I'll actually write everything out in a list. Like, "Create something every day", or "Listen to 1 song a day"...things like that.

I discovered that workouts can be broken up throughout the day. 1 30-minute workout is quite hard to fit into a full day, but 3 10 minute increments are alot more managable.

that is it. 3 minutes to spare!
