Life...sometimes

I am a 24-hour Claritin...

I gotta say it was a good days...
I said I was gonna write about my weekend at work, but never got the chance to because I was workin on a system away from my desk the entire day, only got to do some e-mail checks here and there, but here it goes...

Friday, I went to my friend Lori's going away party in Garden Grove. Nothin like good bbq, old friends getting reaquainted, caught up, and just telling old stories. It was awesome, and sad at the same time, saying good-bye to yet another friend. But as friends always do, we tried to keep the mood lively by inserting our sarcasms and wittiness here and there. Went home at midnight so that I could get some rest for the long day that was to come on Saturday.

Saturday...I went to my friends Nikki and Joe's wedding. I wish I had a digicam already because I would just post up pics right here...because words really couldn't describe the beauty of this wedding...but I'm gonna try. The ceremony...St. Edwards Catholic Church in Dana Point. The place overlooks the beach and when you're in the pews you can see the marina right behind the altar...it was incredible. That was also the church that Kobe Bryant got married at. Absolutely gorgeous....wow. It went w/o a hitch, the cantors sang beautifully, and they even did their own extra vow thingies...very intimate. After the ceremony, it was on to the Ritz-Carlton in Laguna Niguel...yes yes, I know. Again, the place overlooked the beyotch. It was an open bar all night w/ a separate martini bar(also open all night) and there were people walking around in tuxes w/ trays of Hors D'oeuvres everywhere. I had never been to such a wedding. I swear, there should've been a string section out on the patio playing classical music. Dinner was exquisite....Lobster tail and Filet Mignon. Dancing and games were to follow and drinks drinks and more drinks. I can't wait to get the pics of the event. But that was the wedding, I had the time of my life. And that's probably the closest I'll come to an incredible wedding ever.

Sunday...played in my weekly basketball game in thate league and...PULLED MY HAMSTRING. It's never happened to me before, but it really hurts. I feel so weird walkin around. Hopefully it's not thaaaat major of a pull and I can heal up in a few days and get on my workout itinerary. Afterwards, my sister and London picked me up to head to our friend Lena's b-day pool party in Fontana. There were also lots of drinks at this event, and I ended up becoming quite inebriated by 6 o'clock. When I got home at 8, I passed out on my bed for about 5 hours and woke up w/ a nasty headache, had to stay up for a few more hours, drinking lots and lots of water, and headed back to bed.

Today...worked all day on setting up this Jaguar system for one of the database chicks. They also hired this brand-new LAN network chick for the IT department, and she is QUITE cute...her name is Jemelie, and I made sure I introduced myself to her. I think things at work went rather well today, being that I GOT THE FULL-TIME POSITION BABYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! I am the MAN! Ha ha ha, they asked me into the office this morning and told me. I was so excited, I just kept saying, "This is awesome!" over and over and over again. I shook hands w/ them and practically floated back to my desk. I have one final interview w/ the VP of the company, to make sure he's okay with me I guess, and then we can get the ball rolling. I am so excited and I still can barely contain myself. Anyway, I'm not trying to gloat or anything, but I really feel that I did something good, I achieved something, I've reached the next step. It feels like life is starting to settle down a bit...and that's something to really look forward to.

And that was the weekend....and Monday recap.
