DST almost ruined my NaBloPoMo! I made my post last night at 11:41 PM but my server thought it was 12:41 AM! Argh!! I hadn’t adjusted my DST!!
I fixed it, but am I out? I can’t be out… Can I? *wonders*
November is always a tough month for me. Really. There’s the work thing that drives me insane, for one. Something you may not know about me; I work in the retail industry. This means that the last two months of the year really suck. But I do little things to make it more fun (read: challenging) like introduce new house pets, which I am doing this year. Also the past 2 years I have participated in NaBloPoMo. It’s just like that book writing thing, except we aren’t writers. We’re bloggers. So we blog for a month. Heheh.
Last year I convinced Brian to join in with me. You know Brian, right? Super internet celeb from the Cheap Blue Guitar? Him. So that was fun. Look at this post. Don’t you just feel the fun? So anyhoo, I do have a point here. Let me remember it…
Oh yeah!
So this morning I woke up to this:
it’s november! it’s national write your ass off on your blog month.
i triple dawg dare you to do it this month… with me!
are you in?
c’mon. you can do it!
xxoo,
brian
It’s so on betch!
So I forgot to blog anything yesterday. Dude. I suck. The thing is, I keep thinking I’ll do it when I get to work. The problem is that I just do not have the time. Not only have I been off for twelve days and am a bit underwater, but this time of year is generally crappy-busy like. Just a lot to do, even if business isn’t what we’d like it to be. Just no time to slack!
Anyhoo, so like bad me. I promise to be better.
Oh look! I DO have a blog!
How is life? Mine, well, pretty good actually. My parents just left Saturday after a fun 7 day visit. Yes, I did say fun. My parents are young for my age as well as young for their ages (it makes sense, think about it). So we were on the go every day. I woke up early, well early for me, every day and took them on an adventure!
Saturday, after fetching them from the San Diego Airport we stopped off at C Level to toast their arrival and enjoy the view. Sunday we headed off to Old Town, where to my surprise there was an Art Festival! We looked at everything. After we were done there, Mom insisted on a trip to the Swap Meet. Ew… we capped off the day with dinner at the Turf Supper Club. Awesome place! What better way to follow up a meal in a dive than a trip to the shishy-est sky bar Altitude?? Monday was all about rest and a home cooked (by me!) meal. Tuesday we did the Geocaching with dad, since it was Richard’s day off. Plus, we wanted to try it with our iPhones. It works! So now we have a log in at the site and 7 caches under our belt. LOL. Obviously Mom had other plans, and was off for a Shopping Day with one of our friends. Later we de-parented at the big SDTweet-Up (#sdtweetup). That was, as always an amazing time! Wednesday my folks and I were off to Temecula Valley Wine Country for a day of tasting and scenery. Fantastic! Thursday was more Geocaching around town. That Geocaching is a great way to see some great sights you wouldn’t otherwise… That night I was pooped so Dad manned the grill and we dined out on the patio at home. Friday was when I finally had to sleep in! Well, till 9:30.. we lazed at the house till Richard got home. He had ditched work early so we shopped and hit up Bing Crosby’s Piano Lounge until it was time for the crowning jewel of the visit: dinner at Kous Kous. My folks got to eat well (very well! you MUST go to Kous Kous!) and meet up with our friends and generally have a great night out. Although we had drinks first at Martinis Above 4th, where the owner stressed me out when he KISSED Richard hello in front of my father. That’s when my father realized we had taken him to a GAY bar. OMG OMG OMG. He never would have known otherwise… Oh well. No harm was done. All was erased by the amazing food at Kous Kous!
As for Saturday… Well that was for packing and the Airport. Buh-bye!
You know what?
So here we are again, on International Talk Like A Pirate Day. Do you love it? I do!!
So anyhoo, What has been new here? Well other than being “All Pirate, All Day”? Well, I’ll tell ya. Not much. Between working all those weekends in a row, Richard’s birthday, and getting ready for my parents (who arrive Saturday) I am a busy and tired boy! You never realize how much time you spend at work until you try to have a life outside of work. This November and December will be the toughest yet, for that very reason. I will want to spend lots of time with my peeps, but will be working more than ever! *sigh*
So what do we think of fall decor. I have a few changes that I make around the house every fall. It’s a tiny bit early, but I think it will be fun for my mom to see it all *fall-ish* around here. I don’t think they do fall in Florida. At least not well anyways… LOL. So what? Do I put it out for mom or what?? Who knows… Tell me with a comment?
Hey there kiddies. It’s International Talk Like A Pirate Day. Arrgh. So in honor of this most esteemed day, we at dp.com go all out. That’s right, just as in years past we are all pirate all day. Sexy! However, on the actual blog only! (Sorry feed-readers. Ya’ll are left out!) I invite you to poke around the archives. Read up. It’s gonna be a good day for it, as dp.com subject matter can only be hi-freaking-larious in Pirate Speak! Am I right??
One last little thing about International Talk Like A Pirate Day… Comment. For the first time ever, dp.com will translate any comment you make into authentic Pirate Speak!!! Amazing!!
We do all this for you. Why? Because we care!
What an exciting week. Of course there is all the Big Birthday Fun for my man… We’ll have to do a re-cap of that at week’s end. Birthday Week is a process. Srsly. Huge fun, but a process. Then I got mail! You see, there was a little offering put out to take part in USPS fun over at the Cheap Blue Guitar. Of course since me and Bri-Bri (Brian) go way, way back I had to sign on! I mean, who doesn’t love getting a little sumptin’ sumptin’ by mail. Thank you Brian!! So well.. Yeah. Lemme just show you my treasures!
Amazing booty, right? Yes, that is a Hannah Montana Punching Balloon. Here, let me model a bit for you…
Oh hai!
So here’s the thing. Last night was the big San Diego Tweet-up (#sdtweetup). There were like over 100 people. It was at The W downtown. It was a blast. However that is all I have time to say about it now! Bummer! This work thing is for the birds… I don’t mind going to work so much. It’s that 9 hour wait till I get to go home that bugs. LOL! Where did I hear that? Anyhoo… more later on the Tweet meet with links and all that good stuff. Proms.
