I just returned from a walk around downtown Lexington. I visited Victorian Square, which is a collection of little stores, to window shop and possibly buy a belated birthday gift for Mom. I didn’t find anything I thought she would like, though, so I’ll have to continue my search. I’m considering a couple of out-of-the-way bookstores near here that might have some books on cacti that she doesn’t already own. Not that I know which books she owns or doesn’t. I found Super Troopers at a used CD/DVD place and picked up a copy for my brother, though I like the movie, too, because he’s been asking me to get it. I’m now drinking water like a horse because I was silly and didn’t bring a bottle on my long jaunt.

Tomorrow will be more exciting, hopefully, because Todd, Chris, and I are going to eastern KY to shoot guns all day. According to Todd, we’ll be firing a 30-06 rifle, a 270, a high-point 380 pistol, and a pump-action 12-gauge shotgun. Fun stuff!

This coming weekend will be action-packed, folks. I’ll be moving out of my apartment on Friday after work, hopefully with Ike and maybe Jessica’s help, and moving out is always hectic. Then that night, Jess, her parents, and I are driving to Indiana to stay for a couple of nights. We’ll visit Holiday World and Splashin’ Safari, then meander through Louisville on our way back.

I’ve got to check up on my student loan status because a bill came from UK and I owe about $700 that was covered by a loan last year. I thought I renewed that bloody thing, but perhaps not. Mom’s checking an old statement for me and getting an address so I can fix this. I could afford to pay the $700, but I’d rather keep that in the bank.
