SO behind...

I'm SO behind on my blogging this week. Finally, I have some time to sit down and get all my thoughts together. Things have been hoppin' at the office as we've had all sorts of new business coming our way that's got us going wide open. No complaints from me though, I like this kind of busy.

Thursday night was band practice night. Kev had a family event that he had to go to Atlanta for so he wasn't there. Eric stepped up to the plate - talked through the songs, discussed possible trouble spots, prayed then hit it. We were a bit rusty on some of the songs as it had been awhile since we'd played them. By the end, we were all feeling pretty good about how it all came together. Big props to Pam for doing a great job as our soloist. A good group of us went over to Ruby Tuesday's for some grub afterwards. (pics to follow)

Friday after work I hooked up with Kyle to grab some dinner at O'Charleys. O'Riginally, we had tried getting into Logan's (which Kyle says he hates but it was his idea to go there - so uh...) but the wait was excessive and I was pretty hungry. O'Chucks has been doing pretty well on food quality and service so I think it might be safe to put them on the regular dinner rotation. Jeff joined the party and we took off to shoot pool at Bumpers in HSV. Pretty decent pool place. I expected to be in smoky places so I had taken my contacts out for the evening and had my glasses on instead. When playing pool I realized that I REALLY needed my contacts because the field of vision is MUCH better with them on. My game suffered as a result, but these things happen. Headed back to Decatur where I promptly took it to the crib.

I had one of those start, restart then start again days Saturday where you just enjoy laying in bed, get up for a bit then hop back in because it's so comfy. I finally jumped in the shower around 11 to kick my day off. I was going to try and do some photography stuff today but didn't because of the late start. Met up with Kyle and had lunch at Princeton's after Eric gave the "all clear" signal after his last visit there. It a pleasant surprise to find that the air and food quality there was much improved. Ran into Tonja there being too lazy to cook lunch also.

Trip to BAM was next where I got a mocha and a few magazines. Was trying to figure out what was going on with a girl there that seemed to be having issues. I was going to say something to her but decided against it. Maybe next time I see her I can ask her about it. We'll see. Stopped over next door and picked up 2 sets of cufflinks I had seen Thursday when I had been there with my co-workers after lunch. Ran into Shane, an old friend of mine that I learned manages the place. Probably going to get together with him for lunch and see what all's been happening with him. Plus... one of his employees may be of interest to me so I'll have to get the scoop on that. ;-)

Racing season's kicking off! Watched the Bud Shootout tonight on the tube. After sitting in the Home Depot car, my interest in NASCAR is renewed - a little. What I'm really waiting for is the start of the Formula One season the first of next month in Melbourne, Australia. With the new aero and engine rules, things should be mixing up a bit. Ferrari will still be strong of course but I think the gap to the other teams is less than before. We'll see.
