Fajitas, Prints, and That's Odd...

Mom and Dad came to visit today. So we grilled up some fajitas! Mmmm...i love fajitas. And while i had an extra set of hands around, my dad and i hung the new prints that i got framed. Well, i think they look better than i thought they would. Still need some additional accent pieces to fill out the blank spaces, but i think i have an idea of what i want to do.

And now on to the "That's Odd" portion of the post. Have you ever watched a movie...that you've seen before...only to pick up on something that you didn't remember seeing before...or even remember paying attention to? Perhaps it's the way you are feeling at the moment or something that is on your mind that triggers you to see something or hear something in a new way, or a way you've not seen or heard before? I won't name the movie i was watching, for it could be used against me later. :) But the following is what i picked up on this time: You don't have to have all the answers right now...you'll find them along the way. I'm not sure what that means for me right now, but i'll ponder that phrase over the next few days. I just found it interesting...

Sometimes it's the little things that get you thinking...

Melange

Ok, so there are quite a few things to talk about tonight, hence the title of this post. Melange.

1) Today i got the opportunity to talk to the ISS crew one last time before the end of our increment. Ginger assembled the Inc14 Flight Control Team Leads and we each got an opportunity to say a few words to the crew. For some reason, that never gets old.

2) Ever wonder how long it would take to read my entire blog? I have...and i have an answer. One of my newest readers read the entire blog in just under 5 hours. So, if you are new to my blog and you want to read it all...block out about 5 hours. Enjoy.

3) My artwork has been framed. I got a call today that my pieces were complete. I wasn't expecting them until early next week. Nonetheless, i was pretty much useless at work, so i left early to pick up my art. I think the pieces turned out well. Now, i need to hang them. Unfortunately, i have a lot of blank wall space and these two prints will barely make a difference. I'll need some accent pieces to compliment the bigger pieces to fill the space on the walls. At least i'm making a step in the right direction.

4) Since i don't have a social life at the moment, Finding Reason decided to take advantage of the free friday nights and get in some quality rockstar practice. Tonight was a really good night for Finding Reason. We came up with a new song...one that we needed badly. That brings the songs in flux to 17. Yep, Finding Reason has 17 different ideas. If we could just complete those, we'd have enough to do a full show. I think we're supposed to get together tomorrow for our regularly scheduled rockstar practice time slot...but being Easter weekend, i'm not sure we will.

5) Get ready for some cold weather this weekend. Lows are expected to be in the upper 30s/lower 40s this weekend. Dress warm for that egg hunt.

Well, i think that's all i have to post about tonight...i think there is something i'm forgetting, but i can't recall right now.

Have a good weekend and a great Easter!

Time to Relax

Well, after a rather rough week on console and some awkward personal matters, i'm ready to relax. Unfortunately, i don't think there will be much time to relax. The weekend just won't be long enough.

Before work today, i made a stop at Aaron Brothers and dropped A LOT of cash on some frames for my new artwork. I think we came up with some good choices...but man, it's expensive. I won't say how much i paid, but i'm glad i've been working a lot of overtime lately...cause i'm gonna need that extra dough. Hopefully, you'll like it...i just hope that the pieces turn out great! The pieces should be ready in about 2 weeks.

Well, i thought i had more to talk about, but i guess not. Not right now anyway. Anyway...kick back and relax!

Uh-Oh

The weekend caught up with me and i slept right through my alarm this morning. That doesn't happen too often with me. Luckily i didn't have any meetings to attend this morning. I was only about an hour later than normal...so it wasn't terrible. Tomorrow is full of meetings so, i better not be late.

I finally bought some art today. I bought a Monet and a Seurat to go along with my Picaso. Too bad they aren't the real deal...Now, i've got to pay the big bucks to get those prints framed and matted. You'll have to come over to see which prints i picked out...

I am also thinking i need a new set of sunglasses. I like my Spys that i have now, and i'll probably look at purchasing another set of Spys. I have two different sunglasses that i'm looking at...Silver Shadow and Lacrosse. So, which one looks like me? I know, you'd need to see them on my mug to make an informed decision, but give it a shot. Of course i'm particular about the way that glasses fit on my face. I'd have to try these on to see how they feel before making a purchase.

Tonight's rockstar practice yielded some unexpected results. My typical routine is to play through the two hits and move on to devils and then work on finding something new. Tonight's new tunes coming from the guitar were too happy to be Finding Reason. The guys will probably laugh at me when i present them the new material, but there is at least some new material. I expect it will quickly be dismissed.

Tomorrow is the first day of Spring...Enjoy the new season...
