Wow, this has been a fun one….

Monday, Brittany started the great adventure known as middle school. She had a great day and was excited to head back on Tuesday. Well, Monday night we get a recorded message call from the superintendent of the Volusia County telling us that due to Tropical Storm Fay, school was canceled for Tuesday and Wednesday. Britt was a little unhappy about this (probably less than she showed, she is a good actress when she wants to be).

Keli’i was off Tuesday to go to the dentist, so Britt didn’t have to be home all alone all day. I had to go to work. I get there and around 11 am the rumors start to fly that we’re going to be let go early and we aren’t going to have to come in on Weds. Of course, it was my birthday, so at the end of the day, before we were sent home, they presented me with a cake that we were going to have at 4 in the afternoon. There was no time to divvy it up before vacating, so I got to take the whole cake home with me

Wednesday, Britt and I stayed home. Keli’i reluctantly went to work. I was working, just did it from my home computer, took a nice long break for lunch and a nap, I like that! I get so much more done at home, that is when the website I need isn’t down! Britt was more excited today by the news of school being canceled for Thursday (this reaction was more like I had expected Monday night). Of course, the storm slowly moved around the area. I think when I went to bed we were in the eye of the storm, and it was pretty much in the same place when I got up Thursday morning.

Thursday it was back to work. I had hoped they would have come to their senses and tell us to stay home. But we are getting ready for orientation (which was supposed to be Weds/Thurs and was moved to Fri/Sat). The rains started pretty early as we moved out of the eye of the storm. It was bad at work, the building they have us housed in (still displaced by the tornado from Christmas 06) is not equipped for that many people and wet floors. I almost biffed like 3 times, twice on the stairs, because the floors were so wet. By 1:30 the rumors started up again, and at 2 we got the email sending us home again. Sucks to be all the freshman kids trying to get in to take care of business early.

So tomorrow Britt is off school again, and the earliest they’ll have us coming in is 10am. And that is weather permitting. For a fairly weak storm, we sure are getting lots of time off of work. It’s a soaker though, that is the reason they let us leave early today. They didn’t want us flooded out of our homes and camping out on campus :p

We all knew when they rescheduled orientation we’d be working Sat, but now it’s not going to be OT oh well, I’ll just have to work more from home to get the OT

And there is my update. Until next time I decide to update (possibly check back in October :p) .

I guess that is because there isn’t much to update about!

I finished Summer A. I took Organizational Behavior. I got a B. I tried real hard at the end of the semester, but not hard enough for an A. It was a fun class though. I start Summer B tomorrow, Human Resource Management… WOOO! I know you’re all jealous of the good times I am going to have in that class!

Britt’s been in Michigan for about 2 weeks now. And since I haven’t updated lately, she got a cell phone. I have been able to talk to her more often because she can call me whenever and I can call her and not her father. I hope it makes her trip up there a little more pleasant. Oh, and her two BFFs thankfully have the same carrier as us so I don’t have to worry about her using all our minutes up.

Work is CRAZY! I always thought summer would be slow in financial aid, but it’s really crazy busy and I barely have free time. A HUGE change from the Eagle Card office. All I had there was free time. I still like the new job. It’s entertaining even if I can’t get work done cause everything changes every other hour! like I said, it’s crazy.

We have no vacation plans for the summer, we did go to Mom and Dad’s for Memorial Day weekend. Blaze is getting on in years, and it’s hard to ask someone to watch her for more than a few days. And she had another bloat, which left us a little tight in the wallet. Thankfully, she ’s better.

That’s all for now.

Brittany is off enjoying the weekend at Camporee with the Girl Scouts (I ducked out of the trip due to my Acct final on Monday). Keli’i and I took this opportunity to go see a movie. We saw Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

First off, we went to a 7:10 showing. I’ve been up since 5:30, no way I can make it through a later showing. We got there kind of early, got our concessions and head into the theater. We turn the corner and what do we see, about 4 old couples. NO ONE UNDER 50 but us. We go get our seats. As we are waiting, MORE OLD PEOPLE START SHOWING UP! WTF! We are starting to wonder if we are in the wrong theater. So I got up and checked, nope, right theater. Just before the show started a bunch of younger people showed up, but the theater is about a 50/50 split with old and young people. I just don’t think they realized what they were in for when they came to this movie (or the dirty old women found out there was full frontal male nudity and dragged their unsuspecting men there).

About the movie itself. I loved it. It was written by and starred Jason Segel (from How I Met Your Mother… funny show. He was in Knocked up as well). The basic plot summary is this. Peter (Segel) and Sarah Marshall (Kristen Bell from Heros) have been together for like 5+ years, then out of the blue she dumps him. He can’t seem to get over her at home so he takes a vacation to a place Sarah had told him about, Turtle Bay Resort in Hawai’i (Keli’i and I decided we have to go back after seeing the beauty of Hawai’i). Well, when he gets there he is surprised to find that Sarah is there with her “new” boyfriend. Peter has to learn to cope with her being there while he heals over their breakup. He meets Rachel (Mila Kunis from That 70s Show) and a bunch of other characters that work at the hotel with her.

As for the rest, you will have to go see it. I recommend it. It has vulgar language and like mentioned before, full frontal male nudity (don’t worry boys, there are some boobs in it too). It’s funny as hell though.

I’ve been planning on having a garage sale since moving into this house. I finally did it this morning. I can’t believe how much I sold. It was mostly kids clothes, but still. I was selling things at $.50 a piece. I sold a bunch of books too. I think I got one girl into Anne Rice, she bought by Vampire collection (Interview through Memnock and Pandora).

We had a microwave that made the move with us, Britt’s bed, the old couch, and that ugly blue chair that Keli’i’s had forever out there. Of all that, we sold the microwave and Britt’s bed frame.

I may try again next week to see if I can get rid of the rest of the stuff. Hell, even getting the little that I get is better than the nothing if I donate it. Of course, after next week, whatever doesn’t sell will be donated because I want the full garage back. I am sick of the couch and chair in there.

Then after the garage sale I came inside and the Red Wings game was on… so exciting that there is a game that is actually being shown here! I know, it’s the playoffs. Now I have to check their schedule and see if I can keep up with the playoffs

We were expecting severe storms this afternoon. Britt walked as far as her friend’s house and got stuck by the thunder and lightening. Keli’i I left work early (it was Friday, why bother going back). We get to Britt’s friend’s house, I get her in the car and we’re heading home when all the sudden we heard something hitting the roof of the car.. then all the sudden the sky opened up and hail everywhere. Luckily we have a garage so we didn’t have to get out of the car in it. Keli’i and I have seen hail before, but Britt hadn’t. She was amazed by the way it looked when we got out of the car (it was coming down with such force it was bouncing into the garage).

One fell into my hand when I opened the car door, it almost looked like it had been made in an ice machine. Hmmm… maybe it’s the aliens’ cleaning out the ice trays :p
