Monday's Scattered Thoughts

I know it is wednesday alreay but I was out sick so without further a do.

I really don't have any desire to make more money! Crazy huh? I was thinking about it the other day. There is only one thing I desire when it comes to finances, no more SCHOOL LOANS! And for the next 10-15 years I have payments to make. I don't regret my loans, it helped me get the education I desired so I'm happy about that. But still it would be nice to have some freed up cash flow.

Also out of that same thought process, I came to realize that I really have no aspiring career. Sure ministry would be great but that just doesn't seem realistic at this time. I love my job, don't get me wrong, I should probably complain a lot less than I do. I pretty much grew up that way though. I never had these dreams of being a cop or a fireman or a doctor or lawyer. Maybe thats because I thought I would be a sports star (5'10 white guy in the NBA, please!)Plus I didn't have the heart/work ethic. So, here I am waiting...

Last thought:
My wife inspired me this weekend. She said that she was going to train to run a marathon. Now I wasn't inspired in the sense of getting in shape, I'm not really motivated in that way. It was just like all of the sudden she had this goal, and automatically it was decided she would persue it. She called her friend to help her get back into shape and she is on that journey. So now I am on a quest to find goals..........

SUPER FRIES!!!

So after much deliberation about what to eat for lunch, I decided to meander down the street to "Great Western Burrito" a.k.a "Alberto's" off of Front Street by the Ramada Inn. Can I just tell you how pleased I am that I went there. So mid-meander I just start craving carne asada fries, so the meander moves to a brisky skip to my lue if you will. All the while whistling "Thinking of You" by the Umbrellas (good group, give em a listenin too). So I approach the window, ding the bell and wait in anticipation. IN my inability to focus I do notice something below Carne Asada Fries on the menu, SUPER FRIES!! What the freak? What the hell are Super Fries? SO I ask, and she says to me so eloquently, "Es Fries, Carne Asada, Sour Crem y Guacamole y Chees". I think to myself "Man you had me Super Fries". So I say, "That sounds good I think I will have that". So I wait and I wait, wait a little bit longer, then I see her motion for me to come over and she asked me if I wanted anything to drink because it had taken so long. So I say "hells yah I do, make it a Jamaica". Maybe not like that but I was pretty stoked. I took a drink and wow my taste buds were swimming in goodness. Finally my food comes and I make my trek back to work. By this time I am just ready to rip into this motha. I open it and it was seriuosly the most glorious meeting. (other than that with my wife) Got a fork and chowed down. SOoooooooo GOOD!
I highly recommend if you have no been. But with that there is a disclaimer: You have to block out like 3 hours for later.
I enjoyed and hope someday you will too!

Shoe Fanatic!

I love shoes! 18 pairs and counting. I know ridiculous right? Funny thing is I just got rid of about 5 pairs. Last night I decided to make a trek over to Ross after dropping Jami off at work. So I perused the aisle knowing full well I was there to look at the shoes. I was in heaven!
First pair I noticed: A pair of Vans slip ons (all time favorite shoe, I got pictures to prove it) Black with dots and red on the back heal. Sweet Pair of shoes. $15!! These shoes usually run 30-50 bucks. SO there is my justification.
Second pair I noticed: After looking down the aisle I notice this pair at the bottom. It's like it was fate J/K. But still I look at them and think to myself,"these are sweet but how much are they?" Well to my suprise they were on clearence for.... $10. I got a pair of grey New Balance running shoes for 10 Bucks! Crazy.... I love shoes. Call me materialistic, call me what you will. But I just love the feeling of a new pair of shoes.
Come over I will show you my collection. Pictures to come!
