hiS HEarT PuMPs DIESEL

Since moving into our apartment, every single day has been like a spontaneous routine. We have fun, but sometimes I think it's too much for the two of us. We're always going. Alex - after getting his CDL - started driving for his dads company; he loves doing it because he gets to help his dad out but the extremely early mornings are starting to wear him out. This morning Sunshine was up at three o'clock all ready to go to work! (He's asleep on our futon right now- 8pm)
So to keep ourselves busy when we're both NOT at work has been more difficult than we thought it would be. Our little apartment is starting to look great but there are a few things that we really need to focus on getting in order to save our sanity.
1. Internet. To be honest, we LOVE the people in our complex. Given, we've never really met any of them, but there "unlocked" internet works great! Our Ipods, laptops and even the giant computer connects perfectly. We both know that we can't rely on that internet source forever though... so we're searching for an affordable internet company right now.
2. Television. Alex was a great example of the scout motto to "be prepared" when we moved out on our own. He brought along his 15.. maybe 20 inch TV and his PS2. After trying to hook up everything today, we came to a final conclusion that we REALLY need to invest in a bit larger TV. Hey, some things are just more important to some people.
3. Games? We really need to find something constructive to do when we have free time - something besides throwing in a movie or Alex's Latest: Balancing on Bowling Balls! (which really is harder than it looks)
4. Performance parts. (for Alex) Since the day that I met that boy, he has been the biggest motor-head! I remember when we were 15, he completely took apart the engine of a K10 big block and put it all back together with better parts as a "summer project" to keep him busy. His passion for mechanics has slightly rubbed off on me. But, as part of marrying him, I kind of expected that. We cannot even drive ten minutes anywhere without some comment about the truck or car next to us. But I can't complain, his incredible mechanic skills have saved us SO MUCH MONEY over the last four years!! So.. back to my list... getting performance parts for Alex's truck here and there seriously is an essential part to not only our sanity, but a happy wonderful marriage. :)
