I have been somewhat behind in my TV viewing this year. Even though we are supposed to be preparing for baby, I find my self either really busy or really tired. Neither of which is conducive to productivity at home. Here are some of the shows I'm distracting myself with.

Chuck - I've really enjoyed this season thus far... up until the last 2 ( Read more... )

Well, it has finally happened... Facebook has been blocked by my work network. So much for keeping up with anyone since I am not real keen on using a computer at home. I type enough at work that I have no desire to sit in front of a computer at home. That's prime TV time. Or sleeping. Or house work... wait - that one didn't fit in too well. ( Read more... )

I go to comics.com quite often during the course of my meaningless day at work. dilbert, get fuzzy, rubes, etc. I'm getting really tired of their pop-ups there. I have pop-up blockers installed, but somehow this site always gets through them. Whenever they pop up, they always to go a site that is blocked - causing my computer name to be logged ( Read more... )

So, I was asked to sing at a funeral recently. It was a friend of my dad's who he (luckily) got a chance to visit with while he was in town over the holidays. Having only sung at a grand total of two (including this one) funerals, I was a bit nervous. The fact that it was 10 in the morning did nothing but add to my trepidation. The family ( ( Read more... )

So, it's been a week since I've last updated this journal - something that I was attempting to do a whole lot more often ( Read more... )

So close on the rock project. I had a little melt down this weekend while I was trying to move a sprinkler head out of the rock "area". The drought has made the ground so hard it is almost impossible to dig. And digging was required to move the sprinkler. After almost an hour, I had the first sprinkler head dug up. Another hour and I had the ( Read more... )

So, it's the weekend already. I sort of spread grass seed and fertilizer on the front lawn this morning before work. I don't know where the extra energy came from, but I try not to question these things too much. I say "sort of" because I didn't have a proper seed broadcasting device. My broadcaster is still living with the in-laws, so I used a ( Read more... )

As the title sounds, I spent yesterday in Birmingham for the Installation of our new Bishop. It was kewl. There were over 100 priests, probably 30 bishops, even a cardinal. Odd to see such Catholic activity this far south. I assume they're all getting behind the new bishop because they know how hard of a time he's going to have it down here ( Read more... )

On my list of projects is the ominous one to finish the rock wall around the pool. I think it was in early May that we bought two pallets of rocks (3 feet long each) to make a rock garden all around the pool. We were getting tired of grass clippings flooding the pool every time we cut the grass. This seemed (at the time) a reasonably simple ( Read more... )

Last night was entirely consumed by driving back and forth to Birmingham. The rehearsal went pretty well. I don't know what I am expecting out of this choir exactly, but I always seem to be a bit disappointed in it. It is just a group of non-auditioned people from various churches in the area that are getting together to sing. Not all super- ( Read more... )
