My First WVa Adventure

  So I took my first West Virginia adventure on this trip today after work. I took myself down to Charleston to do a little shopping for myself. Unfortunately a little shopping quickly turned into close to a hundred and twenty dollar shopping trip, but most of it was clothes and I needed them.
  I was impressed with the short distance between here and Charleston. I took me about ten minutes of freeway driving to get there. Of course, when the speed limit is 70 you can get anywhere pretty quick and still be legal about it.
  Walmart was first on my list of places to stop. I wanted to look for some more button ups for work and some washing detergent for the hotel room. I ended up with two shirts for work, three shirts not for work (discounted, of course: yay holiday season), and an extra pair of pants. And the detergent, dryer sheets, and some stuff for work. I will be going back soon I think, after I get paid. I need some Christmasy stuff for my room.
  Next on my list, and surprisingly close to the wally world was GameStop. I needed something to help play my XBOX360 in the hotel room. A thirteen dollar component cable it is. Still not sure what I'm going to do with it when I leave, hopefully one of my TVs at home will take it.
  And last (and the main reason for me going out tonight, aside from the laundry detergent) but certainly not least was Five Guys Burgers and Fries. I miss this place. I haven't ate at a Five Guys in an extremely long time. I haven't seen one since the last time I was in Lynchburg. So when I heard that there was one relatively close by, I couldn't resist. And to my great surprise, it was close to the Walmart and GameStop. No getting lost for me! And the food was sooo good!
  A quick hop and a skip back to the hotel room to wash cloth...well maybe I'll check in on the gam...ZZZZZZz! Yeah. I passed out. Of course, I was pretty tired. I woke up just long enough to catch myself up here, and I'll be hitting the hay again for a couple more hours. Heh.

Busy Couple of Months

  Not really for general public, but if you are interested in what's going on in my life, feel free to peer in and comment when necessary ;)

Hmmm

  So, Halloween is over, and now here's comes my favorite time of the year. The next two months is by far, in my eyes at least, the best two months of the year. Great football, (normally great basketball), end of the NASCAR season, more food than you know what to do with, and above all else friends and family. Unfortunately, this year is going to be extremely different for me. First and foremost I am in a whole new town. Aside from L.I.Am, Pebbles, and Dlo, there is no family. But, they are the most important family. I haven't really had the opportunity to make too many new friends, so to speak. Plenty of work acquaintenances, but not friends. That for a number of a reasons, none of which I'm ready to divulge quite yet. I enjoy their company at work, but ... yeah :)
  So, here I am looking and hoping for a Christmas miracle. Sure, it's only November 2nd, but before you know it there will be turkeys being cooked, and stockings stuffed, and Santas visiting, and Boxing Day (Canada..., darn you...), and New Years, and I just don't want to miss any of it for anything...and I'm afraid I will...
  My son and I have been watching Christmas specials since last Christams (A Muppets Family Christmas, Emmet Otter's Jug Band Christmas, Prep and Landing, etc.) and I'm super excited. I just don't wanna miss out...
  With that being said, I refuse to be left behind on music...

So I'm falling behind, Halloween 2011

  I hear you out there. Monroe, you are falling behind on your blogging. It happens. Kids, jobs, sickness, and an overall disdain toward computers for the most part will do that to you. However, I had to get this pictures up of the kids from Halloween. I wish I had more, but unfortunately I was only armed with the camera on my phone, which was quickly dying...
  And if you had to ask, Pebbles is the adorable one in a custom tailored Pebbles outfit, bone and all (thank you Dlo) and L.I.Am is sporting his brand new authentic army fatigues, complete with embroidered last name and all (thank you KingK!). I hope you enjoy all 5 (FIVE???!!!) pictures!
