Crazy Cross-State Trips are Awesome

Last weekend I went with a friend half-way across the state to help him move his sister out of her apartment and into a new one, due to some domestic problems with her boyfriend. Friday night, we stayed at a Holiday Inn Express, and then Saturday we moved her and that night stayed at an Embassy Suites hotel. That’s the same kind of hotel we stayed in on my weekend trip back in February, so we took advantage of the happy hour free booze from 5:30 - 7:30pm.

I had two Manhattans, two of some drink the bartender named “Whatchamacalit,” a margarita, two rum and cokes, two whiskey sours, and I finished off with a regular diet coke. I was fine going back up to the room and hanging out and watching TV and talking with my friend and his parents, and I kept dozing off, so I finally went to bed.

Sunday was a long day - spent some time at my friend’s parents house while they did business, and I worked on a new project I’m involved in: Tech Jaws - a tech news site. Check it out, show it to your friends, and be sure and Digg any articles you think are interesting!

Warning: Crazy Weekend Ahead

This weekend I’m going with a friend halfway across the state to help his sister move across town. It’s a long story. But the neat part is, we’re leaving tonight, will stay in a hotel when we get there, move her tomorrow, then go hang out and stop at the hotel we stayed at back in February for the free Happy Hour.

I’m going to use some of the road time to study for my GMAT, maybe pre-write some blogs for next week, read a book, or just chill and talk to my friend. In any case, it’ll be nice to get out of town for a weekend.

My girlfriend-equivalent is going home for a couple of weeks - I’m going to miss her. But I’m glad she gets to go see her family, I’m sure they miss her. She’s also going to see her friend, who happens to live in my hometown, so I’m going home to see my folks in a couple of weeks, and I’ll bring her back here when I leave. I imagine that’ll be a really good day, seeing her again after two weeks.

Happy Friday everybody!
