Click Here Monday, June 30, 2003 Today was a pretty fun day, I just got home about 20 minutes ago or so though from being gone all day. I woke up a little earlier then normal though because I had to take a longer shower then usual this morning, I had to wash all the Ice Cream and Mayonase, and whatever else the kids put in my hair out. And I also had to scrub off all the permanant markings all over my arms that Brittany drew on there trying to display her excellent artistic talents (so called artisic haha). So anyway once I was finally clean again. I went to work. It was a normal day at work, things are steady again and we haven't gotten bored lately. Anyway after work was over I was invited over to dinner again at Ron and Betty Allens house. They moved to a new place though so I had to get directions and everything. Their house is really nice, and its a lot cheaper then they were paying before. They made Spagetti, it was really good. I also setup their computer so they could both be online at the same time. After they had moved some things changed and it had to be set back up again. We also just sat around and talked then we watched "Who's line is it anyway" I ended up leaving their house around 10:30ish. I was surpised when I got back that Scott wasn't over. I thought he was addicted to that game. Maybe not though. Well tomorrow the Rent is due again. I wrote the check and got the 2 month move out notice ready to go, If I have time in the morning I'll swing by and drop that off. But for now.. I'm think I'm going to be off to bed. Night! posted by Jeremy Dillinger @ 11:36 PM  0 comments Today was some crazy stuff! It started out with me waking up at 7:00 (Which is crazy in and of itself) =) Then going to church for the worship team practice. There was so many things to get setup today. I had to work on the powerpoint right up until the service started.. and I didn't get a chance to go through it to make sure it was all right.. So I just had to watch and be alert so I could flip to the right slide if something was out of sequence. I was able to get it worked out pretty well though. The service went well in the end too! My neighbor Scott came today too, I invited him a couple weeks ago and he and his wife showed up there. That was nice. There were about 20-25 people gone today though and when you only have about 80 people as members thats quite a few people missing. So Scott wasn't able to meet everyone. He did like it though, and He said he might go again sometime when more people get back from vacations and such. After church Will and John came over to my place for lunch. I made them some French Toast. It was really good, haven't had that in quite awhile. Then we watched Tarzan for awhile. We weren't able to finish it though, Will and John were going to go see "The Hulk" so they had to leave about half way through it. After they left I hung out for awhile and then I went to go meet Brittany somewhere so her and her friend could give me a ride to Brittany's Piano Recital. I didn't know how to get there so they offered to just drive me. It was pretty good, there was also some Violinist and a Soloist that did some pieces as well. Brittany did great, as did the rest of the performers. After that was over I headed home really quick to change clothes and then I went to a cookout that was being put on by the Youth pastor at the church. I went early to help get things setup and what not. That was sure a blast. About 25 people came and we all just hung out and had fun. All the kids and some of the highschoolers decided they wanted to beat up Jeremy again. I don't know how I'm always the target, but for some reason thats just how it ends up. (I think its because I provoke it...yeah I think thats why). So anyway I have multiple rug burns, I'm tired as all get out, I have a couple bruses. They wrote on my arm with a permanant marker, and they decided to whack me with the empy 2 liter bottles once we finished them off. Then later we went outside and most of them wanted piggy back rides around the yard. So I still didn't get a break (not that I wanted one). But anyway it was sure a lot of fun and I think everyone else had a blast as well. Once it was over I took Allie and her friend home, but before I did that. We stopped by my place and picked up Jake so Allie could take him back (I'll miss that Dog). So yeah, Jake is now back home so I won't have a friend or a warm pillow to sleep on tonight. But oh well, I had fun with him while I had him. I might be taking care of him again soon though. After getting those guys back home I came straight back here, and I'm Famished from the long day. SO I think I'm going to head to bed. Scott is out playing games on my computer though. So I might be going to sleep with him here again. So if my away message still says I'm at church tonight, thats because I didn't get a chance to change it before I went to bed and Scott was still there. Well thats all the good stuff for today! I'm off to the land of the Z's posted by Jeremy Dillinger @ 12:06 AM  0 comments Sunday, June 29, 2003 I almost went to sleep without writing a blog entry for tonight. It got late really quick and I have to wake up early so I have to hurry. This morning started off as a normal morning. But instead of me driving to work Scott decided we could carpool so he drove me instead. We made a quick stop at a bagel shop and got a cream chease french toast bagel for breakfast then headed to work. All through the morning we were swammped. people just kept coming and that phone just kept ringing. But by the afternoon things settled down a little and we were able to get some things done finally. Then after we closed Scott and I played a game for a little while, and its a good thing we did because the carpet cleaner was going to come a half hour after we had closed today and we both forgot about it. (Andy was gone again today). So we had to clean up everything off the floors for him. Scott wasn't able to stay until he finished though because he had to go to Roanoke. So I offered to stay and close up when the carpet cleaner was finished. It ended up taking about two hours or so before he was done. But finally after he finishes and heads out I clean up a couple things before I head home. So I lock up and head out, then step out and try to find my car and then realize that Scott had drove me to work today, and then left early. So I was stuck walking home today after work. I'm glad I live so close. It only ended up being about a 25 minute walk or so. It wasn't to bad, and it was a nice day too so it didn't matter much. Once I got home I just chilled and hung out for awhile. Then I decided I would cook some BBQ chicken for Scott for dinner tonight. It turned out well and he said it was pretty good. He also came over later and played some games again. Once we were done with the games I chatted for awhile online with Allie and my Mom. But now its really late and I will be tired tomorrow so I'm going to bed now. Night posted by Jeremy Dillinger @ 12:24 AM  0 comments Saturday, June 28, 2003 Today I work up to the sound of the the lawn mower man. No it wasn't the dog this morning. The mower guys comes this morning at 7:30 and starts chopping up the grass. I don't think that I would have woken up by it normally, but I had left the dog leash outside. (I have done that all week) its not just the standard cloth leash either its one of those with the steel cable inside the plastic. And I hear a really loud crunching and whirring. That is the sound of a steel wire cable leash binding up into the lawnmower. It didn't hit me at first but after thinking about it some I realized thats what it was. After a couple minutes the lawnmower starts up again and he seemed to be able to finish up, so it didn't break his equipment or anything. But I still waited until he left to go out and check the leash. Sure enough... it was shredded. The part tied to the tree was still there with about 5 feet left of it.. but the rest of cable (about 10 feet) was no where to be seen, I have no idea what happend to it. So I ended up running to the store really quick before work to pick up a new leash. It was only six bucks, so it wasn't too bad I guess. So I came back and tied the remaining old leash to the new leash to make it a little longer and hooked up the dog and then headed to work. Nothing out of the ordinary at work today, same old stuff there. Afterwards I came back home and cooked up a lipton noodle dish.. It was kind of like macaronii and cheese more then a lipton thing.. but it was still good, I added some tuna to it to top it off. Then I went over and watched a movie that Scott and Abbey had rented over at his place. It was "Treasure Planet" its a very interesting movie. When I say interesting.. its more like head cocked to the side interesting... but anyway. Thats about all I can say about it though. After the move Scott came over and we played another game. (Seems like thats all he ever wants to do) And then we finished up with that around midnight. Now I'm just writting this blog and talking to my mom, then I'll be off to bed. So gotta go for now. Night! posted by Jeremy Dillinger @ 12:41 AM  0 comments Thursday, June 26, 2003 I woke up to a wet nose on my face again this morning at around 7:30. Who needs an alarm clock when you have a dog like Jake. He was just wanting outside, I guess thats good that he know when to go outside though. After letting him out I decided I would just stay awake and work on the computer some. I did my blog for yesterday this morning since I went to sleep while Scott was still using this computer last night. After I fed the dog I just headed over to Work. Nothing too new and exciting at work again today. Just the same regular thing. We found out the the building we are in right now is being sold though. So.. we are going to have to find a new building to move to, or buy the one we are in right now. A lot of things to think about over the next couple of months for Andy. Scott and I stayed for about an hour after work was over to play a quick game and then we went out to dinner at Tokyos. Then he went over and spend the rest of the evening with his Wife. So I just stayed home and cleared out some of my e-mails the rest of the night. I was trying to get ahold of Becky though to see what she is up to and if she wanted to do something, but I didn't have any luck. Not sure what she's up to. Oh well, maybe tomorrow night or something. Well I think I"m going to be off to bed now. Night! posted by Jeremy Dillinger @ 11:45 PM  0 comments Hey everyone! Sorry I couldn't write an entry for last night. The Blog server was down when I tried to write one. Scott was also using my computer at the time so I had to do it through a different computer. But anyway thats my excuse, I hope you can fogive me. well, Work was work again yesterday, nothing strange and exciting happend. Just good ol fashioned fixing computers and stuff. After work I went over to Will's for a bit and then we went to see a movie at the dollar theater for free. We saw "Coincedence" I wouldn't recommend it, don't even bother renting it. Even though it was free, it wasn't really even worth the time. The swearing was horrible and it distracts from the movie its so bad. But anyway after the movie Will and I did some Grocery Shopping and then I headed back home. I was really tired though so I was kind of dozing off on the drive back home even. When I got back Scott was using my computer. So I just told him he can keep using it and I was just going to go to bed. So thats what I did. I fell asleep and I didn't even hear him leave whenever he left. So that was my day... on to another. Bye for now - I'm off to work. posted by Jeremy Dillinger @ 9:40 AM  0 comments Wednesday, June 25, 2003 Well, I'm headed right to bed after I write this blog. I'm tired and the dog is too, he's already out cold. Today was a regular day at work, getting back into the routine again where we aren't really slow, but not super busy either. So not much exciting to report from work today. After work I did a little grocery shopping to fill up on some snacks to bring into work tomorrow. Then Scott invited me over for dinner again tonight. They had some delicious Pork and potatoes. After that I came back to my place and put up some more pictures online. If you want to check them out I added them to www.jerdill.com/photos/liberty There are some new ones under the friends category, the spring break category, the webcam category, and I even added a new category that you will have to go and find out what it is. Its worth seeing though. So have a look. Then after that I went to the chruch to practice with the worship team for awhile. After I was done there I came back and watched some TV while I read some magazines and things. Then Scott showed up again wanting to play another game tonight. I think he is addicted or something, everytime he has a free moment thats all he wants to do. I don't even think the game is all that fun, I would rather read or something like that. But anyway its alright to play. Well that pretty much it for today. Nothing else I can really say. I hope you enjoy the pictures. Bye for now. posted by Jeremy Dillinger @ 1:11 AM  0 comments Tuesday, June 24, 2003 I woke up to the dog pacing back and forth this morning. It was about 7:30 and he was walking around a whole lot.. so I tried to sleep at least till 8:00 and then got out of bed and let him out. I found a good spot outside where he would be comfortable. I was still very tired though but I decided I might as well not worry about going back to bed. So I just stayed up and di some things around the house. I left early to work too so I could stop by the post office. Still no resolution about that package I sent to my dad. But anyway, I'll figure it out sometime. It sure was nice at work today having the other guys around. I didn't have to do everything by myself. It was great. I actually had a chance to eat lunch =). I also got a package from my parents today at work. It was full of some good reading material and a Game. So we test out the game a little at work today. Its pretty nice. After work I just came home and warmed up some left over BBQ chicken and had that and salad for dinner. Then I helped scott put together a nice evening for his wife, by getting him some music he could play and I also got some groceries for him while he setup the house. While he was over there doing his thing. I just came back and hung out with Jake "the dog" for a bit and read some e-mails and things. I also wrote a written notice that I'll be moving out in two months. I'll give that to them when I pay the bill for the apartment next month. After Scott's wife went to sleep he came over here and we played a quick game but it turned out to be kinda long. So I'm going to bed past midnight again. Oh well. Night everyone! posted by Jeremy Dillinger @ 12:45 AM  0 comments Sunday, June 22, 2003 Today was a blast! Swimming was fun, it was a heated pool too so that made it a whole lot better. I probably swallowed more water then anybody should though. It was still great though. There was also food as far as the eye could see, another very nice thing about church get togethers. Also during church today I was in charge of the childrens church. It was fun, we all played with Play-toh. Play-toh is some fun stuff. I missed a special multimedia presentation that they did during the service though. I was kind of hoping I could see that. But oh well childrens church was still fun. After church, Will came over for a bit to hang out before he had to go to work, at around 3:30 I dropped him off at his place and then headed over to the swimming party. They had the baptism service there as well. Four people got baptised tonight. That is always a wonderful thing to witness. The pastor got to baptize his daughter tonight too so he was excited about that. I ended up staying there until around 8ish or so. I had to leave when Brittany and her parents left so I could swing by thier house tonight and pick up their dog. I'm going to watch him this week. His name is Jake and he is a Black Lab. So far he's been a good dog. I think I'll enjoy his company this week. Well, I think I'm going to get to bed.. I"m so tired. Swimming always makes me really tired for some reason. So I'll write more later. Bye posted by Jeremy Dillinger @ 11:11 PM  0 comments Saturday, June 21, 2003 Today was a little easier at work. I actually had some breaks between customers. I had a huge pile of computers to work on and I was able to get it down to about 4 now. So that was pretty nice. I still ended up staying after work for awhile though just to finish up some more things before I came home. I was planning on going to see a movie with Brittany after work today but her family went to go do something, so that didn't work out. So instead I decided to do some high quality baking tonight. I decided to cook some Barbequed Chicken. It turned out perfect. My house still smells great from it. While that was cooking I took a couple loads of laundry over to Scott's place and did some laundry. They gave me a key so I could do that while they were gone. I also washed my sheets and blankets and re-did my bed. So after doing all the cleaning and cooking today I just chilled and watched some Cable, and read a magazine. I think I'm going to hit up the clean sheets now though. I have to wake up again early for church tomorrow. Night! posted by Jeremy Dillinger @ 11:41 PM  0 comments

Hey, I forgot to write a blog for yesterday so I though I would go ahead and do that now. Work was almost as bad as I thought it would be yesterday. There was one point where there was 3 people on hold and 2 people in the shop waiting to be helped. All while there were 15 computers that needed to be worked on. I was able to survive it though. I stayed after work about an hour though just so I could catch up a little bit. After that I just came home and relaxed the rest of the night. I made some chilli dogs for dinner and watched America's Funniest Home Videos, then Who's line is it anyway. No better way to relax then to laugh. I also talked to some friends online for awhile. Allie, Brittany, Will, My mom, and my sister. I ended up getting to bed sometime around midnight or so. I'm not sure why I forgot to do a blog last night, I had all the time in the world to do it.. I guess I just plain forgot. Oh well, you didn't miss much anyway =). Well bye for now.. I'll try and remember to do a blog for tonight.

Oh man, today was crazy at work. So many computers to work on all at the same time. I don't know what I'm going to do tomorrow and Saturday when I have to run the shop on my own. Lets hope that there aren't two people on hold and 3 people in the store waiting to talk to me all at the same time. All while I have to work on 9 other comptuers at the same time. Scott, Andy and I stayed after for about an hour just to get a couple of the computers taken care of so I wouldn't have a line of computers all the way around the wall tomorrow. But tomorrow Scott leave before work even opens and Andy will leave around noon so he'll just make sure things are good after we open and then be leaving right after that pretty much. Then I'm on my own. Well anyway after I got back home after staying a little after work, Scott invited me over for dinner. Then I came back and went through some e-mail. I'm finally down to one left. It took me all week so far to get down that far. Then around 11:00 Scott came over and played a computer game for about an hour. Now i'm just chatting with my parents and am about to head to bed. So I'll quit yaking for now and be off. I need to be rested up to hold back the swarms at work tomorrow. Night =)

Well I just got back from Allie's house for dinner. They had spaghettii for dinner. It was very good. Afterwards we watched "Return to Me" and then "Remember the Titans". Allie had a couple friends over so it was me and the ladies tonight. It was a lot of fun though. After the movies we stayed for a little longer and talked for about an hour or so. I took the two other girls home when I left. So I finally got back home around 2:20. I'm going to be tired in the morning probably, but it was well worth it. Work today was pretty hectic. We've been having a nice and steady flow of computer lately, but today we had about 10-15 come in at once. We are going to have to start to pick it up again so we can catch up. It shouldn't be too hard, but friday and saturday I have to run the shop on my own again. So I hope we can get most of them finished by the end of tomorrow. Well anyway I had a wonderful night hanging with the gals, but I'm pretty tired. So off to bed I go!

Today I woke up and went to work a little early. Since I left early It didn't matter that Scott's car was still in the driveway when I left. But then 10:00 rolls around and Scott doesn't show up. So I give him a call around ten after and I wake him up. He had slept in! Andy decided that he was going to go run some errands before he comes in today too without telling anyone so I was stuck there until around 10:40. By myself. It was good I got up on time and was able to open the shop. A huge shippment came in too. So I had to accept about 30 packages or so and get them all carried in on my own. It wasn't so bad though.Today was the busiest day we've had in awhile. All the work benches were full with a computer and we even had about 5 in the waiting line. It was good to have something to do the whole time for once. After work I did some grocery shopping and got some more things for lunches and some milk. Then I had dinner over at Scott's tonight. So I hung out over there for a bit, then he came over here to use the internet for awhile. After he left I tried to watch Smallville. But then my parents called so I talked to them instead. They gave me some information I need to look into about the insurance and things. After I got off the phone with them Scott came over and we played a quick game for about 45 minutes or so. After we got done, we both watched Smallville. I had recorded it since I couldn't watch it when it was on cause I was talking to my parents. So anyway, it was a good episode. It was a re-run but I hadn't seen it because it was one that played while I was at liberty and I couldn't watch it there. But anyway that was the extent of my day today. I need to get to bed. I get to go have dinner at Allie and Brittany's house tomorrow after work and then watch a movie. So that should be a lot of fun! I'm looking forward to that. Well I'm off to the land of the ZZZ's so I'll babble some more later.

Today was another slightly busy day at work. We didn't play a single game today though so it was defenatly busier then normal. I had to do a service call to a Veteranary Hospital today. It was a quick fix though I was only there about 15 minutes or so. I've been having some cramps again lately. My problem has returned and I hope it doesn't get worse anytime soon. I need to go to the doctor but I'm just waiting to see about insurance information and things like that. I don't even know if I have it right now. So far its been bareable though. Anyway after work I went and got a hair cut at the mall then came back home and made some stroganoff. It was pretty good. I made up some garlic bread to go along with it too. Then I just watched some TV and read e-mail and things while I ate. A little after that Scott came over around 9:00 and we played some computer games. My computer was able to play this time. It was great. He was here until around 11:00 or so. Well that pretty much covers it. I think I'll just head on to bed now. See Ya!

I was able to wake up on time and setup the powerpoint for the worship team. There weren't any problems with that today. I did have to do a quick setup last minute with setting up some pictures though. But other then that it went well. After church Will and I went to see a movie at the dollar theater. He gets in for free with a friend since he works there now. So we went to see "Head of the State". I wouldn't recommend that movie. It wasn't horrible. But you won't miss anything by not seeing it. We made some spaghetti though before we went, It was some pretty good stuff. I also took that computer to Will's and we got it all setup with everything. We got internet working on it and eveyrthing now. He was excited to have his own computer now. Once the movie was over I headed back home and then I hung out with Scott for awhile afterwards. We play games for a couple hours or so. Once we were done though, I just came back home and cooked a Chicken Pot Pie and hung out here for awhile. I also watched a DVD that Scott had rented and he asked if I wanted to watch it before he brought it back. So I had to do that tonight. I'm soo tired though, I was dozing off during both movies today so I should get to bed. Adios for now.

Saturday, June 14, 2003

Today I woke up and went to work like normal. Except I though it was Friday, so when 3:00 rolled around Scott started closing up the shop and I was like "What are you doing" and Scott said "I'm closing up" with a what are you talking about kind of tone in his voice. Then it hit me that it was Saturday and we Close at 3 and not 6. I though I still had three more hours left to work. So it felt like I got out of work early when in reality I didn't. But it was still nice. After work I helped Scott gather up most of his fish and we drove to Roanoke and he sold them all. He is going to start a different type of tank and he had to get rid of the fish that would get eaten. Then while we were down in roanoke we went to see Finding Nemo. He had free tickets to a theater down there. It was just as good the second time around. Thats defenatly a movie to buy once it comes out. Well I got back home around 10:30 and cleaned out some e-mail and chatted online with My Parents for awhile. But I have to wake up early and get to church to practice with the worship team again so I should get to bed. Night!

I was up last night until 3:00 at work setting up my computer and things. Then Scott and I were going to wake up early and go get some shelves to setup at work to organize a little. But I was so tired I forgot to set my alarm. Then Scott said he accidently turned his off. So we didn't wake up in time for that. We just had to go strait to work. Work is getting busier lately and its been nice. We still had time to play a quick game today though. I was finally able to get my computer all setup today. So I moved my old one in place of my even older one. (the Bedroom cam computer). Then that old computer I might let Will Borrow for the summer. Unless he might want to buy it or something. I would let him pay in increments though since he is a little short on cash. But anyway he needs one for the summer at least. I'm enjoying my computer so far. Everything seems to run great so far. I have a couple more things to install but its overall back to how my old one was with my settings and things. Well that pretty much all I did today was work on computers. Maybe tomorrow I'll go hang out with Will or something. I'm off to bed. Good night.
