Wow, I've had a lot going on this week:
On Monday, I drove down to Colorado Springs to meet with a new client. I got a little nostalgic and was wishing I could move back down there until I took a drive down Academy Blvd. Totally reminded me of one of the reasons I hated living there. People down there drive worse than up here. Then, I watched a cool movie called The Secret. It's about manifesting and the Law of Attraction, etc. I've really been intrigued by this kind of thought, lately. I'll post more of my thoughts on that subject later.
I had many errands to run on Tuesday and spent a lot of time hanging out in the bookstores. I hit Tattered Cover again. Still wasn't impressed. I stopped in at Barnes & Noble on Colorado Blvd. and found that a book that I had recently bought now had a 40% off sticker on it. Oh, well. I splurged and bought myself a pair of biking gloves at Bicycle Village. They were black/yellow and match my bike. I've been tryng to run down a matching helmet (mine is over 15 years old and it finally fell apart). You'd think with as popular the Tour is and how popular Lance is, that you could find yellow helmets aplenty. Not so. I can get a Giro Atmos LiveStrong helmet for $189.99. Yeah.
Wednesday got to a 100°F--that totally sucked. Dad took me out to lunch, though. Then I went and got myself a PO Box for my freelancing. I guess I'm really going to do this after all. Plus, I signed up for the Blogathon. Please sponsor me! You don't have to fulfill your pledge until after the event is over. I've got one pledge so far (Thanks, Yoshi!). C'mon guys--it's a good cause. Lance would want you to sponsor me! I watched the last disk for season one of 24. I hated the ending! Not cool. Oh, and I got to steam clean Skippy diarrhea out of the carpet. That was fun in triple digit heat.
Yesterday, I took myself on a bike ride (ended up riding around Fairmount Cemetary of all places). I tried to find my grandmother's grave, but it's been so long since I've been that I couldn't find it. On the way back to my car, I stopped and visited with my friend Nina for a bit. I went home and took a shower because I was hot and stinky. As soon as I got out of the shower, my friend Dave stopped by out of the blue to take me to lunch. I got a call from someone wanting me to come interview for a part-time job. I googled the phone number and the business is over at Colfax and Carr. Um, too far for part-time. Plus, it was for a place that I told the placement woman I didn't want to work for (a classified ad paper place--I know that work would be super boring!).
Today I spent most of the day with an old friend from Platt. I emailed her earlier in the week and told her we needed to get together soon. I had my first appletini and my first sushi. She took me to Tokyo Joe's for lunch and she got us some California Rolls. Not too bad. I've been on a mission to do things that I've been meaning to do but haven't for one lame excuse or another. She informed me that the placement woman from Platt no longer works there. It would've been nice to be informed of this. No wonder she hasn't done shit to help me find work (except batch send my resume to someplace I told her not to). Apparently, nobody has been hired to replace her. Nice. I might stop in Monday to find out what the heck is going on there. Grrrrr.
I've also been watching le Tour de France with Marcus all week. He's obsessed. I never thought I'd be watching cycling on TV. I still don't totally get the stategerie that goes into this sport, but I know there is method to the madness. It amazes me that people can make a living riding a bike!
So, this week has reminded my why I hate having a M–F 8–5 job. It was great having the freedom to hang with friends and be home so my poor old dog doesn't have to be cooped up all day. I'm going to be posting stuff on ebay tomorrow. I've really got to push this freelance thing and I need to get an office phone. Trying to take notes while on my cell is a pain. Plus, my ear gets hot.
Well, that's enough for now. SPONSOR ME!!!!!!!
