Conference

So I get to go to my first "professional" conference this weekend. I've been to one of these conferences before as a student. So I'm wondering what its gonna be like as a professional. Maybe I'm more of a nerd than I thought because some of the forums actually sound interesting to me. Mostly all of them are about Hurricane Katrina though. Its in Biloxi though, so I guess, what else would they talk about? So I get to go home for the first time since July or something. And I don't have to board Eva because of it. She gets to go home with me and Chris and have a sleepover with Merlin, her best friend. I'm just worried she might be a little destructive. She tends to get that way around Merlin.

Weekend

So, for the first time I'll say I was fortunate enough to attend the Mississippi State football game this weekend. They barely pulled out a W over Auburn. The game was fun, except for the whole getting extremely sunburned thing that happened. I've already started peeling and the pain has gone away. I looked horrible Sunday-Tuesday because of it. One guy at work has felt the need to laugh in my face about how burned I got. Oh well.

Chris and I stayed with his friends in Millbrook, outside Montgomery. Adam and Emily have two cats, Felix and Lulu. Felix looks to weigh about 20 thousand pounds, but its really on 19. I was suprised when I heard that though cause he looks bigger than Lou did, but Lou weighed like 25 or something. I liked their house, too. Its one of those cookie cutter houses with a huge garage door on the front of the house, but the inside was nice and big.

New Stuff

So I'm working with some new software at work. I've used it before but only briefly. My boss had a seat bought for me to have on my computer because someone at work has been telling him how good I was at it. So it should be fun to go through some of the tutorials and get used to using it. I think its pretty cool though that someone at work has been telling my boss what a good worker I am and how fast I pick up on stuff.

I went to Livingston this weekend. I didn't get to do much though because I stepped in a bed of fire ants on Saturday and was conked out with Benadryl for most of the day. Chris' parents almost have their guest house finished. The only thing that remains is the plumbing, which probably should have been done first, but oh well. So I was having to use the bathroom and take showers in the RV this weekend.

I like the house and the layout, but its a little too "earthy" for me, I guess. Wood floors I love, but I'm not a big fan of wood walls and wood ceilings. And there's too much green for me. The floors are green. The trim is green. The doors are green. The beds are green. The cabinets are green. But I didn't pay for it, so I guess it doesn't matter. As long as they like it.

Chris is hoping that its done in time for Thanksgiving. If the contractors don't put in sinks and toilets by then, they need to be fired. He is also having a dove hunt in Sumter County just before Thanksgiving, and all the people going are going to be shacked up in the guest house. I think its gonna be a little crowded with eight or so people in there.

I can't wait til I get to buy a house. Its not gonna be happening any time soon, but I would love to have a house of my own.

Welcome, Vodka's in the Back

So my sister and my boyfriend should know what the title means. I just can't help but throw in quotes every now and then.

Welcome to my new blog. I thought I'd get a new one so that I'd start posting again. I got kind of tired of my livejournal, but if you'd like to read my old posts, here is the link http://mgturnage.livejournal.com/.

I'll try to keep posting regularly on my new blog. I should have lots to talk about since I've got a job now, and SEC football is kicking off.
