Respecting Our Annual Ritual

So this past 4th of July weekend was awesome! Started off with being off on Thursday all the way through today, my dad’s birthday celebration on Friday, fireworks display on Friday night, yet another cook-out yesterday afternoon and a movie, and today doing some home stuff (laundry, etc) and probably later on today dinner with Mom and gym afterwards. Quite busy schedule I’ve got going on - but it’s awesome. It’s something that keeps me running around and not realize how quick time goes by rather than doing nothing. I like to keep my weekend occupied for something, anything. I like being pro-active with any kind of stuff, which I seem to enjoy, either with by myself, or with my roommate, or friends. It’s kind of cool to have that kind of lifestyle. Diversity, people…diversity!

After the overwhelming awesomeness of the fireworks display in Manassas (apparently the largest one in the state of Virginia), despite the not-so-bad rain, we’re still going to continue planning our next year’s ritual. It’s great to know that you can do other stuff with your co-workers other than being co-workers. Our group - my boss, my roommate, another co-worker, and myself - seem to click very well and so we often plan to do something, anything whenever we get a chance. I like knowing that we’re more than just co-workers. They are awesome, great to have fun with, and they are (we are I should say) just the craziest group ever in and outside of the office. Anyway, so next year we plan to hit DC, although we’ve already anticipated the amount of efforts that will take just to go watch the fireworks. I think we’re gonna try to get in to watch the other festivities they will have going on. It’ll be awesome. We call it family trip because we’re family. Truly are.

Amanda, my co-worker, and I made an agreement that we would go back to the gym and work out. She and I go to the same gym (Woot woot, Lifetime Fitness!) - but we haven’t gone in a while. Both she and I had been crazy with our personal lives that we didn’t have time for it. Not that we’re making excuse of going, but it’s just been crazy with work. I suggested yesterday that after all this holiday we will try to work out again and get back on our diet stuff. In fact, we’re gonna go tomorrow, so that is going to be exciting! We’re back to square one!

So this week is going to be a full week - 5 days of work - and going back to work after a 4-day weekend is just lame. Seriously sucks. Oh, well. We gotta make some money, right? I’m sure this week will go by so fast (I hope!). I’ve already plan to do stuff this coming weekend so I’m looking forward to that.

Take care, guys and I shall touch base with you again at some point this week.
