or what I like to call, my Friday, I worked it out so I could take off tomorrow and Monday and take a breather for a couple of days. And man I am I jazzed about it. I get to sleep in, probably til like 6 or 6:30 maybe even seven, I don't know we'll see how it goes...
In other news, my soon to be married daughter is pregnant, not really news to me but we have held off telling anyone until she had a sonagram and was given a due date (Mar. 11,2015). We are excited about a new addition to the family. Not really ready to be "Grandpa" yet...been kicking around a few alternate names and have settled on Shooter. We'll see how it goes...
Had a pretty productive week at work. Started out Monday with a bang and never really let up until this morning. Luckily didn't fall behind, and even got rewarded with a good bottle of 12yr old whiskey for some extra work I did that made someone look good. All in a days work.
So tomorrow me and the two youngest will hit the grocery store, do a little house work and hang out while Mom is at work (couldn't get her on board with the whole "blow off Friday" thing). Need to get in some time with the kids before school starts in a couple of weeks, and enjoy some time off. I also need to work down the old Netflix queue. We'll see how it goes...
Hopefully everyone has a great day tomorrow and enjoys a good weekend and gets those batteries recharged for Monday, while I sleep in another day....
Til next time...

A Month of Sundays...
...would be nice. I had a pretty quiet day. Got in some rest and some exercise so I accomplished two things I wanted to do today. This weekend has flown by and as I sit and write this I am already thinking of the dozens of things I have to do at work tomorrow. Anyway..
Had company all weekend. My wife's sister and our neice came to visit on Friday night and spent the weekend with us. I am not one for visitors but I am glad they came, my wife was happy and the kids had a good time so it all worked out extremely well. I got in some Netflix while they ran around most of the day yesterday, so I feel like everyone got in a good break from the usual. Plus my sister in law brought me a really nice globe (you know like a map of the eaerth, but round...), I have been wanting one but they are impossible to find especially the quality of the one she brought.
Maps are my thing, in case I haven't ever mentioned that before, which I probably have not. Maps are what I do, a big part of my job, and something I have always had an interest in. A good map can be like a piece of art, not everyone sees that, but I do. So I was super excited to get acquire the globe and hope to have it for a long time.
So that was my weekend pretty much. I did manage to put together a really good dinner of some chicken breasts, potatoes, fresh fried squash and some really good canteloupe. I enjoy cooking to some degree especially on Sundays. A good Sunday meal starts off the week in the right direction and usually helps me sleep on Sunday night, which is always tough for me. On that note the diet is rolling along and I am actually under 220, that makes me feel like I am making progress and gives me more ambition to keep at it and not give up.
So I hope everybody has a good and productive week, we have cooler weather headed our way in a couple of days so hopefully it gets here fast. Let's all take Friday off and make it a three day weekend, ok...good I am in. Til next time...
