Wachen Sie Auf!
("Wake up!" said Fritz...)
Well, nature's alarm clock woke me up a few moments ago. (Thunder, that is....not some other bodily waste management function...heh). Fortunately, Kailyn seemed to be in too deep asleep in her bed to notice, so the drama that's normally associated with a thunderstorm has - for the moment - failed to materialize. Now, the loud cracks of thunder that woke me up have been replaced by...soothing... sounds of heavy rain and a rumble of thunder...
Well, I take that back... Since I'm blogging in 'real time', apparently a second wave of lightning is starting to move through....
Okay, enough weather-talk (unless something exciting happens, anyway).
...
Slept terribly last night. Maybe it's stress. Due to a communication snafu (most likely my fault in some way), band practice turned into a scramble to come up with a guitar player. Fortunately, everything worked out. The boat rocked a bit (kinda like that boat in "The Perfect Storm" facing a 100-foot wave), but I think we'll live through it...
...
'Tis the season for returning defective goods. Not wanting to be left out of the defective-purchase party started by Eli and her TWO defective TVs, I wound up having to return a portable DVD player to Wal-mart that worked beautifully until you got halfway through the movie...then it froze up.
That said, there's nothing more dangerous than roaming Wal-mart with $175 in cash in your pocket...not because of some threat of getting mugged, but because cash-in-pocket is usually cash spent on something. Fortunately, though, I resisted the urge to buy something PC or XBOX360-related, and wound up mainly buying some things we needed around the house and some post-Christmas stuff for Kailyn (she'd received some money from grandparents for X-mas anyway...so I was just following through on that)...
And for some reason, I felt she was ready for a shiny, new bicycle. Her first bike. A tiny, orange, 10-inch bike. (Heh...it's amazing what's exciting for me nowadays). She loves it, though it will take a little while for her to build some confidence in riding it.
...
Well, back to bed. At 7:00 a.m. Yes. I've got to recover some sleep somewhere, or I'll be useless today.
