67/365: Hello Spring Break!

With the end of class on Thursday, I am officially on spring break...from school at least. My spring break from work starts on the 14th. It's so close! Johnny and I went to the Independent with two of our friends last night, and then we all decided to make a trip to the original Taco Bus. If you've never seen Taco Bus on Man vs. Food, it's a Mexican restaurant where the kitchen is an old school bus. They make some of the best food in Tampa. I kept it simple last night and just got a chicken quesadilla. It's amazing with butternut squash as a filling too.

65/365: Busted!

The police caught someone doing something near the community college. There seems to be a theme this week of catching things while I'm driving.

64/365: It was an uneventful day

You know it's a pretty boring day when the most eventful thing that happened was seeing this truck.

63/365: Around town

Hey, gas is finally going down...slowly.

53/365: Boil water advisories spoil the weekend

Do you need a laugh?

A squirrel, or some related rodent, chewed through a main power line for the biggest water plant in Tampa, and the backup line failed. That meant a water outage and a subsequent boil water notice starting Friday afternoon. That's cool. It also meant happy hour beer served in plastic cups. I was excited at first because I technically live outside of Tampa city limits, which lead to this Facebook status:

Then I checked out a water service map. It turns out that I still live within the water service zone, so the notice affected me as well. Damn.

45/365: Today is Happy Couple Day, so why does it suck so much?

PhD students: Smart, but not smart enough to use correct grammar.

It took me 75 minutes to travel the 13 miles between work and school today. It usually takes longer in the rain, but not that long. I was in a bad mood by the time I got to class, but I managed to be on time because the professor wanted to Skype in while he is away for a conference in California. After 15 minutes, class was cancelled because IT couldn't get Skype up and running.

Class was cancelled after I drove all the way up to campus, and Johnny still has class tonight. On top of that, I ran into more traffic on the way home, and 6 miles took me 40 minutes to travel. That's it. I'm done. I'm just going to enjoy my wine and pinning of wedding decor for a wedding that may never happen, all alone on Valentine's Day. Am I sure I'm not single again?

31/365: Sunshine and downtown

Ugh, Tampa traffic. At least the downtown skyline is kind of pretty.
