Weekend Recap…

Ok, so I guess I took a break from the whole blog thing, sort of. Basically I ended up adding some additional features and tweaks.

I never did get to see any friends. Oh well, hopefully another time. Sunday, my family and I headed off to the Minnesota State Fair with my aunt and uncle. My sister invited two friends so they basically went off and did their own thing. It started out with kind of crumby weather on the way, but it cleared up by the time we got their and started walking around. I can’t say that I say anything exceptional. Did visit the technology building (surprised?! LOL), and Unisys had some pretty cool bio-metric stuff they were showing off. HP was there with SolidWorks but I really didn’t play around with it much. Had all of the good fair food of course. Had my cheese curds & mini-donuts. Registered to win a few things: iPods, Eagle boots, Harley Davidson motorcycle. I haven’t heard anything today so I’m assuming I didn’t win anything. We got home about 8pm, didn’t really do anything once we got home.

Monday, was another day of sleeping in, got up around 11:00am. We did pizza for lunch, then everyone was trying to decide what to do. We were thinking about going to a park but not sure where. Found that there was a free Labor Day picnic on Hariett Island in the cities. Garrison Keillor was supposed to be there, but we didn’t get there until close to the end. He was there at the start. We spent about an hour there while a string concert was going on. We walked the dogs around the park. We headed back to Le Sueur and basically I packed up to go. We went to DQ for supper, I got mine to go, and got on the road back to Fergus. Didn’t get home until like 11:00pm.

So headed off to work this morning, of course I was up late as usual, and I didn’t get into work until a little after 8:30am. I try everyday to try to get in by 8:00 but I hit the snooze too much. It would help if I didn’t stay up so late too.

So of course, trying to get back in the swing of things after the weekend menat not getting as much done as I would have hoped. That’s a never ending battle. I always have huge expectations for what I want to get done. Back to mostly record keeping tomorrow. Got home around 6pm, did some supper, and then worked on some webcam stuff & blog & mostly getting music together for youth group. I haven’t gotten in contact with all the youth yet. I figure I’ll use tomorrow night as an intro or spring-board into forming the team for this year.

I’ve decided I’m going to try to use OpenSong on my Mac. It’s a lot like EasyWorship and MediaShout. Doesn’t have all the bells and whistles but it’s pretty functional for free. We’ll see how it works. I need to make sure we can have use of the old projector at church. I’ll need to be sure to di this right away in the morning. If the old church projector isn’t available I might see if I can borrow the CLB projector at least for tomorrow. I don’t have transparencies prepared for this, I suppose if I needed to we could do music in the sanctuary. I’m going to need to make sure I get out of work early and to the church to get everything setup. Hopefully my amp is still there all in one piece.

Well, there’s a lot more that’s coming to mind that I could write about but that’ll have to wait until tomorrow, eyes are getting heavy. Till later…

    New Well in Waterloo, Traveling to Freetown

    Today was pretty easy-going as we packed up at the hotel in Makeni to head to Waterloo & Freetown, making the first step towards the trek home. We had a nice long ride to Waterloo where we were going to see some of the final drilling stages of a new well. The well was being put in right near a school in a very poor area of Waterloo. Since it was near a school, and want looked like a community β€œpark” there were a lot of kids around. I think there were a lot of people in general because of watching the well drilling. We’re there for about 3.5 hours before we started to see some water flowing from the well. They eventually got the…

    Can I Make A Weekly Update?

    Well, so it’s been almost 2 weeks since my last post. I think I need to do something about this. In no way have I gotten tired of the whole blog scene, it’s just that my life has changed so much. I’m still finding my way back to something that feels normal. Everything here still seems pretty new. I remember that it took a few months for me to establish some normalcy my first year of college. Everything was brand new for me, and it was hard to begin with. Don’t get me wrong, I haven’t felt sad that I’m here, I do miss seeing so many people but I have been able to chat briefly with so many of you. If anyone ever wants…

    Priority Number 1

    Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need. – Matthew 6:33 NLT Our world tries to offer us a lot of things that distract us from what we should be pursuing. It goes without saying that when we are pursuing God our “needs” change. Many of what we think we need are merely wants, and God sometimes blesses us with those things as well.

    Just A Short One

    Well, here I am in the wee hours of the night. So the pleasant act of IMing and playing music caught me up tonight. I pretty much got my taxes done, and it looks like a good tax return. Too bad I have debt, I go out any buy one of them fancy 5G iPods, πŸ™‚ Well, I’m hoping in the next couple of years to have all the small debt paid off. Then it’ll just be down to the big stuff like the car & house. I didn’t get my devotions in this morning like I had hoped, was up too late again of course. However, I wasn’t going to let my day go by without spending some time in the Word. So I…

    God is Awesome, of Course…Today Life is Grand Too!

    Ok, so today was a pretty excellent day. It’s amazing that God can be so good to us despite our downfalls. Well, this morning I found out something pretty crazy. One of my matches on eHarmony just happens to be someone that I at least know of. I can’t recall actually meeting her at anytime. The thing of it is that I have worked with her sister. And I know her Dad. She’s not a paying member of eHarmony but that’s just fine. We’ve already started to chat a little on MSN. I don’t know where this will lead if anywhere. I have no expectations but I’m looking forward to getting to know her. I already know enough about her that I know I’m looking…
