the past week in photos (a long post)

this past week has been another great one. weeeeee! last tuesday, my friend robin cut my hair. it's the first haircut i've had in 14 months. i had buzzed everything off awhile ago and wanted to go a year without a cut just to let it grow out. i have to say, my hair was pretty outta control at times. it is very curly and was almost eight inches long when i got it cut. i think my hair is something like three and a half inches now. i'm noticing the difference!

there were a lot of late nights this past week too. just hanging out with people, having pizza, or having coffee, or watching movies. i got to see becca and gunter's apartment too! wow! it's AWESOME and i'm so happy for them! the weather was very nice at times and i got to be outside in it a lot. that put a huge smile on my face because of my case of spring fever. lol!

on saturday, i went with some friends to omaha to do some go karting as part of a bachelor party. it was so good to hang out with the guys. and the go karts were soooooooo fun! i can't wait to do that again. on the way back to lincoln, i called sarah, whom is a girl i met online. it was the first time we've spoken over the phone. it was really nice to hear her voice (it's soft and very pretty). we chatted for only a short time and made plans to hang out in the near future. i'll get to that in another post. he he. once back in lincoln, we went to legend's on 84th st. we ate and had some drinks. i played a game of pool and hit the 8ball in on the break. wow! i've never done that before. my english accent came out and i think it got a little out of hand. i seem to have difficulty keeping under control at times. there was karaoke but i only listened to it... didn't sing. just hanging out with friends and meeting new people was so so fun. i had a good time, though i did have a little too much to drink. josh came and gave me a ride home as my car was still at jeremy's house. his friends clyde and roseanne were with him and i got to meet them. it's always nice to meet your friend's friends and to see the people they grew up with. we ended up hanging out at my place for a while. when everything died down, i went to bed. i woke up late for early service and thus missed a bet with ben. i then owed him a cup of coffee and a doughnut. with my car still being at jeremy's, i needed a ride to church and ben was happy to oblige. he came and got me. after church, roark, elijah, mike, and i went to the grateful bread for soup. i went home to relax as i was one tired hombre. i called sarah and we talked for a bit and made plans to meet and hang out. then i took a nap. and as i napped, amelia napped on top of me. i didn't know by taking in a cat that i'd become furniture. :D

since i asked off saturday for the bachelor party, i had to work sunday night. :ick: things went well though and i did almost 20 deliveries! i was very thankful for the tips i earned. 80's night was weird as the normal crowd wasn't there and in its place was a very young spring break crowd. it wasn't that fun and i went to o'rourke's to hang out with friends. my manager bought me a shot of something (something that tasted just awful!). there were plans to go to a party afterwards but knowing i'd be the only one not smoking pot, and that i was getting tired anyway, i went home to bed.

monday was st patty's day and work was suprisingly slow. in the evening, i went to yia yia's for a potato and a murphy's. i ran into a bunch of people there that i knew. it was very unexpected and made me happy to see them. case split a pitcher of guinness with me. i chatted with jason for a bit too. then, i went to the state theatre and watched a free showing of the sigur ros movie. i liked it. they have a good sound. i stopped in to duffy's and o'rourke's too. there wasn't really a lot going on downtown and to be honest, i was getting bored. so i went home to bed. then it was tuesday. and tuesday was awesome. :)

and now on to the photos... finally, i know.


sarah and i met at a bag and save in omaha. she needed to pick up some things for a fourth grade class she is observing/helping with. a grocery store is kind of a cool place to meet someone for the first time. anywho, while there, i spied these slippers that you wear to clean your floors. what a novel idea! we both laughed at the warning label on the back. it's kinda blurry but the best one says, "do not use if your balance is unstable."



and here's a pic of the slippers.



i spelled the best word ever in a game of scrabble. josh had to get a moment of fame with his word so he got his in the photo too. his is on the top. :P



these are the new growth on a plant at the mill on prescott. it's the same kind of plant i have in my room and i love the green color and seeing the new growth. i hope one day my plant can get as tall as the one they have there!



this pic is really dark, but i drew a quick picture on the chalkboard at o'rourke's. i think the description in parenthesis is perfect. lol!



this is just a sign in an elevator. i took a pic of it while on a delivery. i think i'll photoshop the letters around to make something funny out of the words.



i took this pic a couple of sundays ago. the sign was on the door of jone's coffee shop. a group of friends wanted to go play games there and we were all a bit suprised they were closed... and for this reason.

i'd post more pics, but i only have the camera on my phone. you couple that with the fact that i'm no photographer extraordinaire and you get a lot of blurry pics! ha ha ha! i do like taking pics though. well, i'm out to enjoy the coffee shop a bit more 'til i return to work for the second half of a split shift.

cheers!
