Tuesday 2-day wrap-up and hypen-over-use.

Monday wrap-up: Work was busy AND productive. That was nice for a change.

Had our gathering at the Guad. I arrived first and was surpised to see an ex-gf there with her parents. Said hi and chatted for a bit then headed for my table. Soon Kevin waddled in with his "peeps". Next was Eli, who took 15 minutes to get from around Chik-Fil-A to the Guad. Last but not least was the new "regular" - The Root of All Evil. We all dined on Mexican fare then unleashed ourselves on the mall. I went ahead and hoisted Kailyn up on my shoulders and took off with her. First stop was EB Games where somehow I got talked inot pre-ordering the UT 2004 Special Edition (a lot of drama later on as a result). Next was a visit to Sears where we talked to Tania. Also saw Andrea there and chit-chatted. Back with Kailyn perched up high we headed down the mall again. I stopped over at one of the kiosk things to say hey to a girl I had met a few weeks back. Eli was right behind me to thwart any attempts I made... at anything. (Note to self: bring along a toy to entertain Eli to keep her occuppied) Ended up at Dillard's again for some shopping. I picked up another shirt, 2 winter scarf things, and a black casual coat. Now I wish it was fall again so I could wear all my new stuff. At least I'm ready for this coming fall. I've spent a LOT on clothes the past few weeks. Also took Eli into the dressing room to evaluate jean lengths. We apparently disagree on lenght so to make peace, I'll eventually get a pair of jeans to wear when she's around. I may look like Shaggy walking to the Mystery Machine but I least will know Eli's not rolling her eyes about it. As we were leaving Dillard's, Kyle took an interest in trying out the "Power of the Baby". After a bit of uncertainty about how to operate the baby, he hoisted Kailyn up on his shoulders and took off. Turns out he really dug it. It seems like as long as one of the Asian's are around Kailyn won't have to walk much. Took some fun photos then headed home.

Watched "Average Joe" before going to bed. Looks like it will be a good series. I'll have to keep up with that.

Tuesday wrap-up: Got to work late and left early. That was messed up.

BIG mix-up with my UT2004 pre-order. Turns out Kevin and I should not have been offered the pre-order deal. Kevin lucked out and went to the mall early in the day and picked up his copy before they caught the mistake. By the time I arrived they figured out what happened and I got screwed. We'll see about that. The manager is trying to fix things for me and was real apologetic for the situation so I'll give him a day or two to get me copy before I open up a 55 gal. drum of whup @ss on em.

Went to get my hair cut. Holly was running behind so I got caught up on all the tabloid news. I can't believe people pay money to get that crap. Next, I went over to Kev's to check out the new games and eat part of a bird. It was good. Now I'm home doing home stuff and am getting ready for bed. I practiced a new song we've got going for tomorrow. I hope practice goes better than last week. Ugh. That was rough.
