so last weekend i was really looking forward to this weekend because i was supposed to go up to clemson to see about a girl. then last sunday, said girl calls me up, having flipped out, and cancels because she doesn’t see us getting married. we had never been out on a date, EVER. i know right? don’t worry, feel free to comment. i felt it was like a movie or something. i told my friend trey, that i’ll get orlando bloom to play me. well, at least i am home to watch all the football that’ll come on today, and i was able to get some stuff done around the house yesterday, like install the replacement dimmers for the new kitchen lights (shown below), get a flooring estimate (might have new floors by the end of january!), and i watched the first harry potter movie (and i liked it!). oh, and i was also ecstatic wednesday because all the debris in front of my house FINALLY got picked up. 3 months and one day since the hurricane. it was a red letter day for sure!

i got a call from my friend bill last night, he had gone to the clemson soccer game where they scored in the last minute of the game and are playing in the final four! you can watch a video of the winning goal here.

another thing that was funny this week was the drive home wednesday afternoon. i’m in the back of len’s car, crammed in there really cause he has a firebird. i’m on the phone asking a friend about a good price on some repair work i’m getting, and we come to the intersection where people have lost their minds. what is this intersection? i’ll tell you. at the intersection of 3 interstates, people from I-59 are refusing to yield. i’m not talking normal cars, i’m talking big trucks, including this one guy who wednesday afternoon thought because he was pulling a trailer, that it was okay to just about run us off the road even if he was supposed to slow down. so len pulls along side of him, because we don’t have a yield sign and the guy just keeps coming to the point where len is on the shoulder blowing his horn, and the guy is blowing his horn at us like we’re the ones who are wrong. so i leaned forward, looked the guy square in the eye, and flipped him off as i’m on the phone. man, it felt great. i think len hit the accelerator and finally got around the guy. THEN, the guy tails us, and then flips us off as we get off at our exit. WTF? we’re having to deal with a LOT of bad drivers with all the temp people in town so i hope they leave asap, but that probably won’t be till summer maybe? i don’t like thinking it’ll be that long.
