Been a while but since I posted but a lot of fun and interesting stuff has happened in the last few weeks. Lots has gone on since the last time I posted. Here are some updates.

I was really into this years Super Bowl. Both teams have long history in the league & were very entertaining during the regular season. I was not really a big Aaron Rodgers fan until this game. That dude is a baller. I was afraid that the game was going to be a blow out but the Steelers made a game of it. It was by far one of the more memorable Super Bowls of the recent past in my opinion. Something told me that the Packers had it in them all year, even through all the crazy injuries they suffered. I was glad to see such a great game, and did not care who won. But the Packers really did impress me.

I’m not like some people that I know that think they get more than a day to celebrate their birthday… but this year my week rocked, kinda. I only got one present for my thirtieth birthday, and it was from a very unlikely place. Raises and bonuses were announced at work during the week, and I also happened to get a promotion. I have been working very hard at my current role and cannot lie, it was kind of unexpected. Either way, I got a hefty sum and some stock, and some big new shoes to fill at the job. Bring it!

I was looking forward to getting some work done on my latest tattoo, but that fell through and I was forced to make other plans. Mom and I went to Anita’s for some breakfast and then went shopping. I got a bunch of stuff from Best Buy including a few new HDTV’s, a XBOX (Kinect is awwesoommmee) and some other small things. We also went and got a mani-pedi, which I am really starting to enjoy! Muahaha.

The best day of the past few weeks had to be when I went and bought my furniture. I got a 5-piece dining room set, a huge 5-piece sectional for my great room, a king-sized bedroom set for the master bedroom w/ Pillow-top mattress & power reclining chair and sofa for the basement. I cannot wait for them to be delivered. Gonna be piiiimpin’! I will finally have all of my house furnished, with the exception of a few tables and such. I have also started decorating some rooms and have lots of neat ideas for the rest now that I know what the furniture is gonna look like. Weee!

In other, not so important news… I shaved my beard fully for the first time in over three years. I needed it bad. It was dead, split ends — like having a dead animal on my face. Gonna keep it clean for a bit and then grow back a monster beard! Hehe.

Lots of fun stuff going on and lots more to come. I am planning a vacation… hmmm Hawaii or Jamaica again?! Looking forward to going to a major sporting event of some kind in the near future. Going to start a bucket list (now that I’m thirty!) Looking forward to starting a workout plan. Need to start dating! Want a new iPad. Need a giant man grill.

So much to do… EEK!
