travis' brain dump

well, this was a pretty good weekend i’d have to say. too bad all of em can’t be four days. 🙂

wednesday – mind job, let me tell ya. we had a big meeting at work then we all cut out pretty early. i got home and andy showed up to hang out and play some FFXI. ivan showed up later on and setup his own personal FOB in my house for the weekend so he could spend some time with his kids and not have to be under the same roof as his soon to be ex. 🙂  we had a couple people over and chilled out, it felt like a friday.

thursday – woke up around 0900 or so and cooked up a pretty big breakfast… enough even to get jesse out of his room in search of food, lol. pretty much just got a couple minor things done around the house and then headed over to arwen’s grandparents (former in-laws) for turkey day stuff. hung out around there until about 2030 when arwen and savannah went to bed and then i headed home to tune my board and get some sleep before friday’s boarding trip.

friday – got up about 0630 and headed to the hills! WOOOHOO! being the first good trip up there this season, i was stoked. i got in about 7 good runs before my day got ended by whacking my knee on the off-ramp from the lift. it had turned to pretty much solid ice from the weeks whacky early winter weather and let me tell you that hurt like crazy. aside from that the trip went good… sooooo nice to get back up there. i can’t wait for this weekend up at keystone! 🙂 i headed back down from the mountain around 1ish (a little ahead of the usual time) and got home about 1430/1500. worked out good though. i got some time to relax at the house before arwen got back from her grandparents and it gave some time for andy and i to get some more exp up on FFXI. 🙂 i was a little bummed that some things didnt work out with getting a sitter for arwen friday night…. i was supposed to hit up a comedy club with some friends but it fell through with the babysitter slackage… oh well maybe next time.

saturday – tackle the garage day. i can’t believe it took me 6 hours to get that thing cleaned up! i did however offload a ton of trash and i’m happy to report the garage is clean enough to eat in. haha somehow during the day i even found some time to get in a haircut. most of the day was pretty warm so that made it easier. arwen had a blast playing outside with dylan and ivey which made it a lot easier to work in the garage since i could keep an eye on her and still get stuff done. it was nice to head off to bed with a big win like that under my belt for the day…

sunday – yeah, nothing to report here, just spent the day doing NOTHING. 🙂 andy, mike and i did however get all our chars to lvl 30 yesterday and got some of our advance job quests started, so thats good. finished up PLD with andy today from work during my break, haha and we’ll tackle his DRG character on wednesday.

all in all it was a good four day weekend. as i said, it’s such a shame this doesn’t happen more often. just can’t wait since the next few months should be a lot of fun with a lot of snowboarding and some more time off! 😀
