Wednesday was volleyball playoffs.  In my team’s first session, we came in 4th place in the league.  It was good enough to get us a first round bye in the playoffs, which was pretty cool if you ask me.  Well, problem is we lost in the second round.  Double elimination.  This week is a big one.

Friday I had my “personal training” appointment at my new gym.    I use the term personal training loosely because all he really did was walk me around the gym, show me where stuff is and briefly discuss how to lift weights properly.  That is my favorite at a gym.  You’ll see some dispropotional kid pumping dumbells like a rabbit on methamphetamines and giving you that eye like “I just lifted more than you.”  Sure dude.  I could slam a plane into the ground and survive, but it doesn’t mean I know how to land.  Anyway, it isn’t a competition, and that is the mindset I’m trying to keep as I move forward.  Don’t look at what everyone else is lifting.  Look in the mirror.  If you’re happy with that, nothing else matters.  That isn’t to say I’m unhappy with the way I am now, but making the transition from a physically demanding 50+ hour/week kitchen job to a sedentary desk job had just started to show on my gut.  Figured I’d nip that one in the bud before I woke up 30 and overweight.

Saturday was house hunting.  I’ll spare you the details because I could write for 36 hours about how that went.  Here are the bulletpoints:

1. Most of the houses we looked at were overpriced.  I’m getting used to the fact that negotiations might involve brass knuckles.
2. People in Kent are messy.
3. Often times people that attempt to make changes to a home have no clue what they are doing.
4. It is rare where you find a house that is exactly as you’d want it.

‘Nuff said.
