We went out last night and had dinner at Outback. Preacher Tom and Reverend Mother came along. Actually, it was because of PT that we were out. His birthday is tomorrow, and the Wife and I decided that dinner would be a better present than something he doesn't need. We let RM come along just for the heck of it. It was a a good dinner.
This morning has been quite busy seemingly for me. I awoke at 5am. No idea why, just woke up and could not get back to sleep, so started the day. About 9 I headed out to Fry's Electronics and bought an ipod shuffle player, a wrist-band-type holder for it (for working out) and a headphone splitter. Well I call it a splitter. It basically allows 2 sets of headphones on one device. It'll be a present for my oldest son next month for his birthday. Then I headed to the Vitamin Shoppe and picked up some more Omega 3/Fish Oil pills that the doc wants me to be taking. Then my final stop was at 24 Hour Fitness, the gym nearest my home. I started a membership. Got a decent deal, no lengthy contract, 24 hr access, plus they have a lap pool, jacuzzi, sauna and steam rooms. Bonus! Since I was in there around 10'ish my time, it looked to be fairly empty of people, so figure I will do my routine about that time. Start of with some good bike and treadmill for cardio, and work up to and doing the elliptical. Maybe some free weights for the arms, and a few machines for chest. Yeah, I ain't pushing it hard at the start.
So that all done, I am here at home getting ready to charge and set up my ipod shuffle player. Then go through itunes and decide what I want to load onto it. Boring day otherwise.

Natural Hippie Day
It's April 20th; 4/20; in hippie-speak 420. meaning something along the lines of 'time to spark up the doobie and partake'. For many of us, I am sure it truly means nothing. Another dumbass day with some sort of holiday title. The only ones exchanging any kind of gifts today though are weed smoking friends - of course, unless it is birthday related. It is someone's birthday I am sure. I know my cousin is already shouting across Facebook about today. Heck, he started like 2 days ago about what today is labeled. For me, it just brings back some memories of doing somethings that now as an adult, I realize were stupid.... well, some of them anyways.
It's also Hump Day! Which means absolutely nothing to me. I was going to actually get off my ass and head to the gym, to get a tour of the place, and find out pricing. But, it is just short of 8:30 and I am feeling extremely lazy today. So I know I won't do it. There is always tomorrow.
PT and I went and saw 'Hanna' yesterday. What a crappy movie. As we were exiting, we were both like 'That was it?' Yeah, disappointing to say the least. The movie description makes it sound somewhat interesting, but it isn't. What isnice, is PT saw the trailer for Capt. America due out in like June, and he is actually interested in seeing it... he is not a big comic book movie fan. That was cool. I may see about the boys, PT and I all going to see it together. It's a bit away yet.
Pt's birthday is this week. Easter Sunday we are doing lunch at Sis'. I have been asked to bring my Cherry Delight dessert. I said okay. I guess Saturday I will be heading to the store to pick up the items needed to make it, and the stuff we offered to bring, then spend a "an enormous amount of time and effort" (I say that for family benefit) to make it.
Okay, I feel like laying back down with a book.

Busy Morning Ahead
It's Tuesday, and once again I find myself hating the fact I went out last night. I feel so sluggish and tired this morning (again). It's my own damn fault though.
I need to get motivated though. I have my dental cleaning in less than an hour. Then I am meeting up with PT to go see "Hanna". He picked it out.
Yeah. I want to crawl back into bed.

Deadline Today!
If you are reading this, and haven't gotten your taxes filed (or an extension, in some cases) you may not feel so happy now. Yes, today is the day your taxes are due. The Wife just mailed ours out this morning, or rather, she ran them to the post office to drop them off prior to going to work. She was up late last night finishing them (though I been mentioning them for weeks now) and even had to do a last minute correction/addition this morning. (Shaking head) Sometimes, I just don't understand that woman. She had calculated it all 2 different ways this year. One was the Itemized, which is what we normally use, and then she did the regular schedule A. Usually the itemized ends up with a better figure for us than regular, but not this year. Of course, I think she said for it to be beneficial to our family, we had to have like over 11% of the income in medical bills alone. We weren't close to that. Though, the year prior we were (had Daughter's orthodontia paid that year). The bottom line comes down to we don't have to pay anything this year for Federal or State. If I had worked, I am sure it would be much different.
Not sure what movie will be picked to watch tomorrow, though I have gotten one comment that "The Lincoln Lawyer' is good to see. I have been hearing that from some friends, too. I forgot to mention to PT that I do have a dental cleaning in the morning, but should be done in plenty of time to catch the early showings of whatever movie he decides on.
It's nice and quiet around the house since the boys are in school again. Last night I was just getting irritated with all the noise playing, bickering, and fighting they had been doing over the weekend. They are all about 4 years apart in age from each other, so I have no understanding why they have to fight so much. I think it has to do with the younger ones want to play the same things the older ones want to play (usually Gameboy or on the computer) so the fight for space next to each other, and how to play, and then the whole 'you touched me' type crap starts, or so-n-so got mad and hit/bit/smacked/pinched/looked at me funny thing begins. Just remembering it while writing that last sentence, wears me out....
I'm throwing some Mozart on and chilling for a bit while blog reading.

Easy Going Sunday
I am enjoying a bit of the quiet while the Wife and boys are at church. Playing some new songs I downloaded ('Glee: Meet the Warblers") and just surfing the internet.
The daughter came up so she could sign what tax papers she needs to so we can get it all filed before the deadline. She is still asleep, and here it is almost noon.... teenagers. LOL! Though I remember doing the same thing as much as I could, when I could.
The ceiling fan in our Front Room, where I have the computer, broke yesterday. I went to pull the cord thingy for the fan, and it came completely out of the base. Needless to say, that made us turn the AC for the first time this year. I had been tolerating the warm weather okay until I had no air moving around. The Wife and I may be heading out today to get a new one, then I will have to install it. I may wait until during the week to do it. Long overdue to be replaced though. It has a light system with it, that has like 4 lights, and only one of them worked anymore, anyways. We hardly use it for light either way, so not sure what kind of style we will find to replace it.
PT and I are trying to figure out our walking days this week. He seems to be quite busy with his schedule of things, and I hate walking once it is hot out. And yes, I am wimpy and anything near 90 or higher is too damn hot. Granted it has been mostly 80's here, by 11am or later, it is a sweaty mess to be out walking. We also are tentatively planning on seeing a movie Tuesday morning. I have no idea what though. My selection of movies is broader than his, so I sent him the link for the theater, and am waiting to hear back from him what he wants to see. I have a feeling it will be "The Lincoln Lawyer' or 'Hanna'...though he may go for 'The Conspirator'. Any of those are fine with me as well.
Alrighty, I am out of here...

Friday Has Arrived
This day of the week used to be one I looked forward to arriving. Mostly because my work week ended at 5'ish on today, and the start of the weekend! But that has changed the past few years of not working. It now brings the thought that for the next couple days the kids will be home all day, and the additional possibility of other 'running around' will need to be done. Yeah, almost like I had all week to get ready for the next two busy days.
It's all good though.
Have a friend that is in town from Houston, TX, this weekend. Then she heads to Montana for a week to visit other family, then returns here for a couple weeks before finally heading home. Already my other friends are calling me to go out with them to hang out together like we used to do. I don't know if I am up to it tonight though. Maybe when she gets back in week or so.
Been a couple weeks now, and the new insurance info hasn't arrived. I know, sometimes it takes up to 30 days to do all that processing, etc. But I have a dentist appointment Tuesday morning. So I called about rescheduling or what, and turns out they will work with me and 'Back-Bill' my visit, since coverage started the 1st of April, I am covered, just don't have the specific info for billing. that is nice of their office.
Since the other day when I did that music-type meme, I have been going through more songs on my itunes. Whatever I am doing on the computer, I have them playing in the background more and more. I wonder why I never did it before, instead opting for the only sounds being the keys being tapped out, or occasion error sounds the computer makes. Anyway, with today being Friday, and in a slight copycat way from Average Joe, here are 5 songs randomly played from the shuffle mode.
1. 'I-E-A-I-A-I-O' by System of a Down
2. 'The Man Comes Around' by Johnny Cash
3. 'Every Heartbeat' by Amy Grant
4. 'Follow your Heart' by Mario Frangoulis
5. 'Ash and Smoke' from 'LOTR: The Return of the King' soundtrack
Well, today's 5 randoms were different. Hope your Friday is a good one, and your weekend better!

Getting Older and Feeling It
Oh, I know I am not so young as I once was. To be able to do things like I used to be able to do. To wake up early and head to work like nothing is wrong after a night out with the boys. But I can't do that anymore. I get reminded each time I try to do it.
It's noon now, and I am just barely getting moving. I had been up earlier this morning, but just couldn't focus, so returned to bed. I don't hurt, as in having a hangover, just got that 'blah' feeling. And I even watched how much I drank so I wouldn't be feeling bad. I guess what I thought was a low enough number, wasn't. Either that, or just beer in general is causing me to feel this way. I don't know... maybe a bit of both.
Though, I did stop at Julio's and got some carne asada burritos....Oh, they are so good!
