Now that the place is under my name, we were able to start the process of moving in. We’ve changed the locks and cleaned up the place. Next will be painting the living room, which I’m hoping won’t take much at all this weekend.
I will also be looking for a microwave this week and start picking out the furniture I absolutely need. I’m thinking of starting with a dresser and bed, then an entertainment center and desk for computer stuff. Finally a sofa (sofa sleeper) and area rugs to round up the first items. A coffee table to follow. Barstools will be needed and a small table and couple of chairs for the lanai.
There are other things to get done along the way too.
Very involved but definitely worth it.
Anyone who knows me can attest, I am a gadget freak. I love them shiny things even if I don’t need them. So it will be quite a challenge to do what I’m looking to do in a couple of weeks. Or technically starting now, come to think of it.
I won’t be buying much gadgetry. The last thing I’m giving to myself is possibly upgrading to the iPhone 3GS, mainly for the improved camera features and definitely at the subsidized price (not to mention sticking with 16GB). I will also need to be picky about what games I get. Lucky for me, I already pre-ordered the big ones that are planned. I know for sure I pre-paid in full for one. Can’t say about the other.
I think the sacrifice will indeed be worth it. But would I suffer from withdrawals? I’ve never considered that, although I have been thinking of how well my willpower is.
Strong like bull.
Back when I started playing World of Warcraft, leaving Final Fantasy XI and all that I knew behind, I did a lot of things solo. My first character was a Hunter and it helped quite a bit during my time of leveling alone. I wanted to solo because in FFXI, I couldn’t do much by myself. However, as I played I eventually made friends and by the time my Hunter got close to 60, I was doing quite a bit of dungeon runs with them.

I have always been of the mind that soulmates are born. There is that one person who just fits with you and you with them. However, I’m not so sure now and wonder, as I read a certain book, that soulmates are made. It’s the years of being together, working out the bad and enjoying the good that brings two people so close to each other that they consider themselves soulmates; living a complete life with someone who was always meant to be, but with work.

Besides the crazy heat, I had a lot of fun exploring Alexandria, also known as Old Town, Georgetown and a couple places in the Smithsonian. I was also able to meet two beautiful ladies during my exploration and it was nice being, and having, company.
Now, it’s all work as I attend demos of the conference here for work. So far so good, though they have packed the entire day for the next 2 days.
Here’s to hoping I’ve got some time to meet more people and/or have some time to relax after the day’s talks.
