My Long Weekend…
Oct 23rd
So it’s been a few days since my last post. When things get busy I find it hard to get them in. Things have been kind of crazy. I just noticed too that my last real blog post was Tuesday. Wednesdays always get busy and late, actually I ended up going over to John & Caristy’s after youth group again. It’s good for me to be apart of some social things, especially with people my own age.
So let’s recap a little. Wednesday youth group was good. Joel & Liz Christensen gave a talk about their work in China. It was a little different than what they talked about on Sunday wo that was good. With the craziness of the week I didn’t do music, which worked out just fine. Afterwards, like I said, I went over to John & Charisty’s. We did some popcorn and had a campfire. It was nice. It got surprisingly late however. Oh yeah, that day at work I moved into my new office. You can see the pictures I posted from that.

Wasteful Weekends, Geeks…Gotta Love Em

So yeah, I pretty much wasted the weekend away again. Not totally, but I could have done a lot more than I did. I guess I sort of get tired of doing stuff, like work, all the time and want some time to just kick back and relax. I’m feeling like I’m kind of spinning my wheels with the web job. I really like to nail down the site design before I do the custom programming stuff. The problem is they’ve given me hardly anything to work with. Well Monday will have to be a big day to work on getting stuff going. I guess I’m going to worry less about the design and make sure the funcitonality is all there.
So yeah, not much happened on Saturday, but Sunday was a pretty eventful day. I was ont for playing guitar on the worship team. I think it went pretty well. The only problem was in a couple of changes that were made that I would have like to have had more practice with. I’m finding that I’ve been kind of lazy with doing a lot of open chords rather than full bar chords. I should really work on that more. I also need to work on learning the string notes too so I can more easily find the proper bar chords.

Life Without Internet…Thursday

Thursday was an ok day at work. I really didn’t feel like I was able to keep on task as well as I would have liked. I was able to make some progress on the CLB site, integrating the forums into the homepage. I also got to talking with Todd about the whole blogging thing. He had setup himself with a Blogger.com blog. I offered to host a WordPress blog for him, then we got on the sunject of creating a CLB Blog site. Not sure how much of a demand there might be for this. I think it might be cool if Synod Staff & Pastors had blogs through the CLB. I didn’t get out of work till like 6. I decided to take the time and make some spaghetti. This took a little while, but since I didn’t have any internet, and it was better than PB&J I figured I’d go with a good meal for the night. After that I decided I wanted to check my email so I ran over to work with my iBook
. I was there a little while. Besides checking my email I was messing with the wireless setup. I’d like to get the roaming setup working so that the change-over between APs would be pretty seamless. After a bit I got a call from John O, he was wondering if I’d be up for a game of Settlers or Carcassonne. Well since I really didn’t have much else to do I said sure. When I got over there John wanted to go over the the boys dorms at Hillcrest as Bruce wanted to get some guys to try John’s hot sauce. Well that was a bust as we couldn’t find Bruce anywhere. Oh, yeah Luke was there too. We got back to John’s and Caristy was home. We got the board setup. Jeanette joined us too, Caristy decided not to play. So it was the four of us. It was a good time. I ended up losing, but I wasn’t playing very nicely either. After the game we all called it a night. I didn’t sleep very good that night, the spaghetti wasn’t sitting too well.
