Dinner With The Family

My sister was in Queens today for a birthday party. That meant I got to see the family for dinner. Everyone made it out to my place since my sister was driving back to Jersey after we ate it was centrally located for everyone. I like being centrally located since I am the only one in the family that doesn’t have a car. I was able to get a few shots of the kids when we were eating. Zachary enjoyed making a big mess of his ice cream! As usual all he wanted was to be hanging with his Poppy!

It was an early dinner since Carrie had a long drive home with the kids.

My Blog Entry For Sunday 6-29-2008

Yesterday and today were both uneventful. I wanted to relax this weekend since next weekend is the holiday and I don’t know if I will get a chance to rest then! I cleaned up my apartment. That took some time. I got some storage crates that I ordered online so I cleaned up a closet that was in dire need of a sorting. I need to get some more of the storage devices. I am thinking of some to use under my bed. I will see how much crap I have left to deal with before I buy more.

I am also getting rid of an old piece of luggage. This Samsonite luggage was very useful when I traveled. I lived out of it for months. Unfortunately with the extra fees for oversized luggage on airlines now a days I can’t see ever using this again. I haven’t used it in a while so off it goes anywhere but my apartment!

My Blog Entry for Friday 6-27-2008

This entry is for events yesterday but was written on the 28th. Work was what you could call a typical Friday. We almost had a big scare with a file server, but it turned out to not be as bad as we thought. Any maintenance that can be held off until after hours is not such an emergency! I was able to get through a bunch of writing documentation that I needed to work on, but that sucked up allot of my day.

I met up with Jayson for lunch. It is only the second time since I started the new job that I have been out to lunch with friends. It is hard to get time like that at a new job.

After work I meet up with Luke, Vanessa, Jeannette, and others for some drinks after work. We were semi celebrating someone’s departure from my old company. The real going away party is next Wednesday. That will be the 2nd person to go after I left.

I left that group around 8:30 with the hopes of meeting up with Jayson and Gretchen for a drink. Gretchen had traveled into the city to meet Jay for dinner. I didn’t realize they had already headed back to the burbs until after I left my other friends. I was tired so I didn’t want to head back to what would eventually end up being a late night of Karaoke so I headed home to drink lots of water.
