i spent this past weekend with kathryn in tampa. it was great! we went to siesta key on saturday afternoon (in which i got SUPER burned), we met up with Rick and chatted for a while, then we had all you can eat shrimp at redlobster! sunday we went to church and chilled in the afternoon. monday we got up, went to ikea, toured tampa, went to clearwater beach (where i got even more burnt, BUT i helped Kathryn face her fears of getting into water in which she can see the bottom, what i didn't mention is that there were stingray/jellyfish sitings at the beach that day, which made the "getting into the water" ordeal all the more fun!...at least for me). we then went to quaker steak and lube, which if you know me, makes me very very happy, then we drove over the skyway bridge (which is one of my favorites).
i find it interesting how human nature does not naturally let a person let go of old/bad habits. i have never dated a person that has really made an effort to make me happy before, so dating kathryn is a very new experience for me. the thing i have trouble with is letting her make me happy. it's a bad habit that i'm trying to break. she made chicken spaghetti on friday night which was amazing! BUT then on monday i was stubborn and wouldn't let her make a PB/Chocolate pie...so it's just something i need to work on.
this week has been very interesting at work. i'm planning the retreat for this weekend for my staff. i've never done this before so it's been a little difficult and unnerving. today was a very interesting day, Cam'ron (a low key rapper) was supposed to play a concert tonight BUT at 9am this morning he texted our talent buyer that he was in NYC and couldn't find a direct flight to Tallahassee...(and this surprised him?!) soooo he contacted us around lunch time that he found a flight BUT it was $5000...only $2000 less than we were paying him for the whole concert...SO at around 1 or 2 today Cam'ron cancelled the concert....SOOOO it was a very very intense day in the office so hopefully it'll be better tomorrow.
So even though i FEEL way behind...i'm on pace at the same time with school work, work, relationship, and just life in general.
P.S.--it's been a great day, i got my A/C fixed in the jeep for good!, my best friend Fink got home from Iraq and i got to wash the jeep!!!
