Rock on
My 4 days this past weekend spent as a bachelor while Stacey went out of town (with the kids) to see her sister went by pretty fast. Glad they're back home, though...house did feel pretty empty.
Finished off last week helping Eli move a dresser on Friday (not exactly the kind of excitement I was looking for on Friday...but the all-day rain event hosed up the camping trip some of us had been planning for weeks). At least I got to enjoy a beautiful Saturday outdoors - first by driving around and hooking up with E and others at Delano Park, then by spending another cool evening up at Jack's playing guitar under the stars out on his deck with Eric, J-mo, Jack, Jeremy H., Micaela, Wendy, Michelle, and Jared's crew of friends.
...
Church Sunday was pretty fun. We managed to pull off Dave Matthews' "Space Between" and Lifehouse's "You and Me." The band members put a lot of grunt work went into getting ready for Sunday, so it felt great to see it all come together.
Picked Stacey up at the airport at about 5:00 on Sunday afternoon. Though the kids still behaved pretty much, they - Stacey included - were more worn out this time around so the trip wasn't quite the cakewalk the trip up to Minnesota had been. Stacey was pretty much the walking dead for the rest of the evening and fell asleep fast.
...
So far, this week is shaping up to be even busier than last week. I spent a good chunk of Monday finishing up 3 separate chord charts for songs for church (joyful, but sometimes tedious work). Last night we spent a few hours at the church recording a demo that we're going to send out to possible venues for us to play... We've got another rehearsal tonight, and yet another on Thursday. Whee!! I love to play, but wow...it's a bit stressful when all your evenings get booked up. But it'll be worth it as all these opportunities for us to play out are lining up...
Our not-so-old Dell 5160 laptop fried last week (the LCD panel went dark). I debated trying to get the thing repaired, but found a good coupon for a new laptop online. Besides, that thing never did seem to truly be all that good (too many malfunctions, it seemed). The new one that I'm currently typing on is faster, more equipped to run some of the software I'd like to put on it, has a much better wireless range, and is much lighter than the old one. Not an expense I really wanted right now, but having a functioning laptop PC goes a long way to taking care of kids AND getting everything else I need to get done done.
Peace...
