aww come on… you act like you actually READ this site…   OK FINE!  Here’s my update.  I’m back in BG now.  Came back on Friday for RA Training stuff…. ::sigh:: one more semester of this madness…. then I’m a FREEer MAN!

So what happened to the MohawkPettingZoo over break you ask…. I’ll tell you.  So sit back, relax, put on some mood music, grab a glass of wine… and light some candles…. for HERE…. is my break recap.

My break started out normal.  I went home.  After moving a carload of electronics (I can’t live without) and clothing (dirty laundry is great to take home… it’s free to wash!), I collapsed on my couch.

::SIDENOTE::  How do you spell couch?  “C…. O….. R….. …… ….. aaaaare you going to the mall later?”

Then I proceeded to spend the next few days in mayhem as CedarCreek owned me for the Christmas Eve services.  Yeah… we did a SWEET service if I may say so myself.  (Shameless self promotion)  Then some 80 year old lady slipped on a candle in the parking lot…. landed on her back… and went to the hospital for christmas… On the downside, the family was really mad and blamed us…. (no lawsuits that I know of….)  On the upside, the Judges gave her a 9.5 which included the .3 deduction for the bad landing.  … …. MAN that was WRONG!  I’m a jerk….

SO after that shindig, CedarCreek officially closes the offices from christmas eve through January 1st, but since we had services at the end of December, I still had to work.    BAH!  But after that Sunday’s services I packed up and trucked it down to Mason, OH to see my wonerful and apparently blind (she’s still with me) girlfriend Sarah!  Man I love her…. Just don’t understand why she stays by a bum like myself.  None the less, I met her brother Josh and his very cool new bride Erin.  Josh basically gave me the “older brother of the girlfriend” treatment.  Complete with the underbody wash and wax…. but whatever… I’d do the same thing to my sister’s boyfriends….   Erin is really cool.  She’d smack Josh around when he was giving me a hard time… heh heh.

So to sum up the Mason trip, I cleaned house at board games and won 2 out of 3 euchre games with Sarah against Josh and Erin…. and 2 out of 3 head to head matches with Josh in The Simpsons Road Rage for PS2…. GREAT GAME!  Then I hooked up Sarah’s dad’s surround sound system in the basement so that it works right…. He was happy!    Scoring points with the rents….  HAHA!

Then Sarah and I drove the 3 hours back north for New Year’s Eve.  We went to a formal dance…. tux and all…. That was fun.  We welcomed the new year with 120 other people.  I got all kinds of fun pics on my digital camera too…. yay for that.

ON January 2nd… I got my wisdom teeth out!!!!!  YEAH… THAT’S what I wanted to do over break!  What sucks is that they apparently used a new technique on me.  They knocked me out with an IV, and then proceeded to beat the snot outta me with a baseball bat and a sledgehammer.  I didn’t stop bleeding for a good 15 hours and then I couldn’t open my mouth more than an inch for about four days.  Yeah…. let’s talk pain.  HAHA… So today is the ninth day since surgery and I still can’t eat normal.  I still have my stiches and have decided that my jaw just sucks.  Apparently this was the conclusion that the surgeon came to when he was cracking my three impacted teeth in to pieces to pull them out of my jaw…. ….. OUCH!

So the next week was spent in bed.  Recovering.  At least the first two days Sarah was brave enough to stay up in Oregon at a friends house and come over during the day to take care of me…. I say brave enough cuz she was the soul that kept changing out my blood soaked gause and stuff…. ewww… it grosses ME out!

Then I eventually went back to work and stuff… worked my butt off on the computer network installing 20 new drops and stuff.  I lived on a diet of Slim Fast shakes and pudding for a week… I’ve learned the following:

Slim Fast is actually decent tasting if you know the right flavors.  Observe.

Banana = Great tasting banana drink with no chalk taste
Chocolate = Decent tasting chocolate shake with slight chalkiness
French Vanilla = Liquid Rat Poison with sidewalk chalk dissolved in it

But all 3 are really healthy!   WHOAH WHOAH!!! I just realized… I’m discussing Slim Fast Shakes… Let’s rap this up quick!

The end of that week I went back to BG.  I rearranged my room…. And that … is now.    So I was busy.  Sarah gets back with the rest of the residents on Sunday.  I’m happy to see her… and the rest of my friends I haven’t seen in awhile… Kamando I’m lookin in your direction!   OK… off to hopefully get a good night’s rest for once in a week and a half!  Stupid teeth.

Mood:  Talkative (like you didn’t know)
