New place, land lord, golf, job, MBA, 4th of July, etc.
Welp, Yesterday Alison and I signed the lease for our new apartment. It's nice! It kinda has a Seattley feel to it. It has all hard wood floors and the wall in the living room is white brick. It's in walking/stumbling distance of our favorite karaoke bar, my favorite thesis-writing coffee shop, and another great burger-bar. We're still close enough to Wash park so that it'll be about a 4-miler to run there, around it, and back.
It'll be sad to see the IIC party house go, although not so sad to see the IIC party house land lord go. Yesterday he gave me a lecture on how we need to clean the house so it's spotless and he can show it to future tenants. I was like "I hate to break it to ya, Neil, but you're not really an authority figure in my life so spare me the chat. Just ask me to clean and it'll be done, sucka!" Okay, I didn't really say that, I just ignored him, but you could imagine if I did, eh?
In other news, the guy-I'm-dating got first in his first P.A.T. tournament yesterday (and no, I don't know what PAT stands for), so he's that much closer to being a pro! There were 45 people competing and apparently it's pretty rare for first-timers to place in the top 5. He rocks!
I thought that I was gonna get kicked out of my DMS job come fall for a new student, but found out today that since I'm a university staff member, not a student worker, they can't get rid of me until I want to go. So, I'm half-employed until I find something more substantial - hurray!
On that note, I was thinking today that maybe I should get an MBA, focusing on non-profit and small business-ownership. I don't think I'm ready to open up my own non-profit just yet, but I'm starting to envision youth-focused intercultural education center that works with schools and students and is research-based. I don't know, but I certainly can't afford to go back to school again now unless I never leave the DMS office and can use my tuition waiver :) But, I don't think I can afford that either...
I had a nice 4th, although I spent most of it driving around asking myself "What am I gonna do today?" until the day was over. But, I did manage to get uptown to a BBQ with my friend Kevin and his posse and then watched fireworks with the guy-I'm-dating from Castle Pines golf course - it was pretty!

Oops! I put my comment for the day on the wrong day, see comment on Highlighting your hair.
In response to your underwear comment, Lois, all I can say is they're not mine! (Or Tim's) I was scared for a minute there...
Ummm, I know I haven't posted much on here, but I would also like to know whose thong was found in the sheets....and I think a photo is necessary so that we have a valid id made.
I think that I have to really comment on these comments, like "way to post a comment Lois" and "enough with the thong already"
;-)
Since you mentioned getting your MBA (which I take to be a decision to just increase the length of your career as a full time student and continue to escape the harsh realities of the world... lucky) I thought you might like to check out a project that one of my friends has been working on in Bolivia from about 2002. Jonathan was in my MBA class.

He and his wife both live in Bolivia and were the founders of Viva Bolivia.
Vote for Pedro!
Now why would you our my sister be "stumbling" to our from the Kareoke bar????
