Excellent Weekend…

Magnificent SevenWell, I didn’t get a post made last night. I just got a little tired to make the post. Also, there wasn’t much that went on Saturday. I got up around 9:30 and got around to getting my remaining leaves cleaned up and taken to the dump before the rain came. I made some bread in the bread machine for the first time. The crust got a little harder and thicker than I would have preferred but it was tasty. I mostly bummed around that day. I went over to John O’s that night and watched “The Magnificent Seven” with Rud Wasson & Shawn Osborne. It was a good old western.

Today I got up for the early service at church. John Kilde gave the message and it was excellent. I always love to hear Pastor Kilde. After the service Anders and I headed to the cities for Grease. We had an excellent car ride down. It was kind of funny as once we got close to the cities Google Maps let me down. It had no clue how to get us to Concordia University. We could have been to the Theatre at 1pm, but didn’t make it until 1:45. Anders had a good laugh at my getting lost in the cities. I now realize I need to get myself a good Twin Cities map before I head that way again. I might make a point of talking to my Dad before I go too as he knows the cities better than I do.

GreaseI have to say that Concordia’s theatre department puts on an excellent show. I know from talking to Sarah that after Friday’s show they were accused of lip syncing. I can see how that could be mistaken. I’d say that anyone that is looking for an inexpensive quality play, check out what’s showing at Concordia.

After the show my family, Anders, and I headed to Perkins to grab a bite to eat before we headed home. It was a good time to catch up with my family a little. It was funny, Anders said afterwards that he had a hard time seeing them as my family. I guess I’m a bit different from the rest of my family. He was perhaps mostly referencing my resemblance to them. I look mostly like my Dad, and my brother Kyle (who wasnt’ there) looks a lot like me too.

After supper we headed back to Fergus. We had quite the trip back too, I got off on the wrong road again. Let’s just say that me and driving don’t mix well in the Twin Cities. I wasn’t paying attention and ended up heading down 494 rather than staying on 94. Let’s just say we ended up taking the scenic route back to 94, lol. We got back into Fergus around 8:45. So all in all it was a pretty excellent weekend.

On to something a little different. Tonight I was thinking about my blog, and how I chat on IM. I’m wondering if I’m too open and honest in my posts and/or my IM chats. I guess it’s not that I feel i need to be dishonest, or hiding things from people. However, unless I’m talking with my closest friend, what I say might freak people out. I guess since I’m not really that open in the general public, I feel like I can be on here. I guess I’m not being carefully, and really thinking through what I’m going to say and how that can be read, or misread. I think I need to take more time to stop and think before I hit that Send/Publish button. One area I worry about this affecting is the relationship area. I need to use a little more disgression and I suppose “play the game”.

Well I need to be getting to bed. I’ve got to be at Perkins at 6:30 am tomorrow. I want to quick look over the study for tomorrow and read before I hit the sack. Until tomorrow, chow!

  • Update, Long Overdue…

    I’ve been married now for about 2.5 months. Married life has been what I hoped and more, some good and some challenging. We’ve gotten into more of a routine now, but not so much that life isn’t interesting. We’ve been trying to work on the house. A few weekends ago we put up gutters. That was an interesting job, with some challenges, but it’s all good. We’ll be doing some yard work in another few weeks. Once the grass grows back I think we’ll have a pretty nice front yard. Work has been going pretty good. The past couple of weeks I feel as though I’ve gotten nothing really accomplished, at least nothing that anyone can see. I began building a MapServer and learning the…

    Nothing Exciting, But Frustrated…

    Well, nothing special today. I didn’t even get up until like noon. I was up late, as is most nights. Did some lunch then back to the blog. This blog thing has really taken over. I think the big thing is it’s my only outlet for for talking, don’t really have anyone to hang out with. I really don’t know that anyone would want to sit and listen to me talk about this stuff anyways. I’d be surprised if people even want to read all my dribble. Didn’t connect with any of my friends today, either. They’re probably out of town for the holiday weekend.

    The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly…

    Well, yes I’m finally posting to the blog again. Trips tend to take me out of the blog-o-sphere. Well, sorry to disappoint many, but this is going to be a short one tonight. I’m not quite out of the dark on the sick feeling that hit me yesterday, pretty close though. The Good: Had a good time with my family and got to hang out with two of my best friends growing up. It’s interesting to see where we are all at now in life. John’s all married with a baby on the way. Sounds like they’ll be doing some moving around in the years to come. I really hope John’s finds the job he’s really looking for. Jeff is still as quirky as every….

    Expectations, Communication…When Life Gets Too Busy

    Well I got a rather unfortunate email today. I’ve basically been let go for the website project I was working on. The truth of the matter is there were things that myself and the company that hired me didn’t do very well. I kind of feel a little frustrated as I thought I made myself very clear how busy my schedule was before they agreed to hire me. Apparently I didn’t do a good enough job. It would also seem as though they really didn’t read the contract before they agreed to it. It clearly states what I was expecting. I guess I’m fine with not having to worry about it any more however, I just feel as though they could have done a better…

    Life Without Internet…Thursday

    Thursday was an ok day at work. I really didn’t feel like I was able to keep on task as well as I would have liked. I was able to make some progress on the CLB site, integrating the forums into the homepage. I also got to talking with Todd about the whole blogging thing. He had setup himself with a Blogger.com blog. I offered to host a WordPress blog for him, then we got on the sunject of creating a CLB Blog site. Not sure how much of a demand there might be for this. I think it might be cool if Synod Staff & Pastors had blogs through the CLB. I didn’t get out of work till like 6. I decided to take…

  1. Nothing wrong with being open, Tim….. you just have to realized that anyone anywhere could read what you’ve written here. If there’s things that are better left unsaid, then perhaps they shouldn’t be posted, but if you want to share your thoughts/experiences with the world then go for it! 🙂
