I ran!

Today was a good day.

We woke up this morning around 8. Nanny and Papa had eaten breakfast already so I made a smoothie for Steph and I. Steph left for work and then we three went to the Capital for a bit and then to County Line for lunch. Mm.... I loooove BBQ.

After lunch, we just kinda hung out at home and waited for Steph to get off work. When she got home, we all hung out for a bit. After she left to go to UPS, I went to fill her car up at Costco ( she took my car to work ). When I got back, I decided to go to the gym. Here's the funny part: for whatever reason, I decided that I wanted to jog there. I found out that I did not have a problem and that I kind of liked it.

After I worked out, I jogged back... still not a problem. I discovered that I can infact run and like it. I just need to not run fast. If I run at a comfortable pace, it's not bad. Anyway... when I got back, I practiced my stuff for kung fu and tai chi. I think I want to take my green belt test on Saturday after I drop Nanny and Papa off at the airport.

Anyway... time to go get dinner ready...

So god damn funny...

I got this from the weekly newsletter from my kung fu school... this is so god damn funny...

It's finally cold...

So, finally, the temperature has dropped below 60 here. It was so nice to see a 57 on the screen this morning and then to feel it when I went outside. I think that it's the first time in a long time that I have actually had to use the heater in my car.

Driving to work though, it DID remind of the time when I moved here and I started to miss everyone really badly... it made me really sad. It also made me very homesick. The feeling to go back is very strong today.

Anyway, this is my favorite time of the year. Unfortunately, here in Austin, it lasts for about 2 weeks. Then it gets cold... well.. cool hehe.

We have about 2 days until Nanny and Papa come to visit. It has been too long since I have seen any of my family or friends from NYC. Speaking of which, I was talking to Alex yesterday and I realized that it has been 2 years ( almost... on 10.24.2006, it will be ) since I have moved to Austin and not one of my friends has come to visit. The one exception is Vinny. He stopped on the way through to San Diego...

Soccer - 1st and Last time...

So today was not so bad. I had a relatively easy day at work, came home and chilled out for a bit. Jose has been asking me for a while to try playing the goal keeper for his soccer team, so not being one to say that I don't like things without trying them, I went and played from about 630PM -> 8PM tonight.

It wasn't horrible, but I really didn't like it all that much. I don't think I want to join the team. I pretty much have about 0 interest in playing soccer. No offense to all that play it. It clearly takes a lot of skill. I found my love and I think I will stick to that. Sorry guys...

Back to work...

This weekend was really nice. One of the nicest weekends that I have recently had. Steph and I went to Galveston, TX to celebrate our 1 year anniversary. We were really lucky and had really good weather while we were there. The drive home, however, we were not so lucky. No, nothing bad happened, just a lot of rain. In fact, I heard on the radio this morning that Houstin got 10" of rain this weekend... and it didn't start raining until Sunday!!

Anyway, I know I have been slacking on the "everyday" picture, so here is today's....
