sounds awesome ashauler! me and WOXOF are suppose to be hitting the casinos pretty soon.

So, this week has been straight up, with a doubt ... crappy. Money is the biggest issue. Then Sarah's car has been messed up and we've been having to share my car and we have very different work schedules. My job sucks and I've been working some killer overtime for extra cash. Yesterday, though, my boss decides to start letting this huge truck at 10 min till 5pm. We close at 5. The truck is huge. He was there all freaking day and decided to start then. I was extrememly upset. This, however, is not the first time he's pulled this. It's happened several times before. One time he did it on a Friday. I had 4 other guys waiting on me to show up for practice and here I was covering for my boss who has no concept of time. Work has sucked this week. So after that I went to practice and wore myself out there in a hot garage. Then it was time to switch out beds at my apartment. I had a queen size and went down to a twin. I was exhausted. I feel like I'm a state of depression. I know I'm in trouble when I drive around and don't listen to any music. But I think in 8 hours I'll be good. I get paid today and then it will be the weekend. Gonna smoke something awesome tonite. There are talks of me and my buddy going coyote hunting. Plus, I'm extrememly looking forward to the Torano event this come Wed at my B&M.

Sorry for all the complaining. Just had to vent a little.

Twins turn 1 today. Had to go to court this morning. A structuring conference. For those who haven't experienced this marvel of a waste of time, basically the Attorneys go to court, sit down and set a schedule for discovery, depositions, expert witnesses and trail date. Then the judge approves it. This could be done via email or in 5 minutes over the phone but instead we have to drive out to the court house and sit around and wait. Massive waste of time and a disservice to clients because it means they spend a couple of hours worth of dollars for nothing.

But the twins turn 1 so we'll get them to bed at 7:30 as usual, let Jack watch a movie and maybe the wife and I can settle into a nice bottle of Red.

I think I try a new Pinot Noir.

ashauler that is AWESOME! Congrats too.

Finally getting yardwork done. Cut the grass, edged, I think my weedwacker is having issues(3rd time used argh) and started clearing some of teh mess down by the seawall. I have to start building a new one as the old one has shown it's age finally. :(

I have some long outdoor projects and lots of cigars so I should be ok.

I got my first taste of the court systems during my sisters last divorce. Family court is basically hurry up and wait, and the waiting is 99% of it. You stand around all day waiting to testify, then are told at 3PM after having been at the courthouse 8 hours that the judge is calling it a day and they have no more time for witnesses. Bah. If it wasn't my sister, I wouldn't have wasted my time. The courts have turned into a mind-numbing, soul-sucking bureaucracy.

Good morning fellow BOTL/SOTL! Monday, ahhh my favorite day of the week (NOT). I am just finishing up my morning coffee and trying stay motivated enough to get some work done today. I am going to a concert tonight with a friend and my 13 year old Son- (Type-O-Negative and Celtic Frost). Honestly, I am starting to feel a bit old for these shows. I only do this because of my Son's wishes and the fact that he is carrying a 3.8 GPA this year. So here's to getting home at 2:00 in the morning with the high possibility of having a ringing headache

Another Monday has come and gone. I hate Mondays. I made the mistake of turning on the news as I was to get my dinner. I not sure if we have members out in Virgina or members with family's effected by what happen this afternoon but my heart goes out to you all. I am not sure what the answer is or how much more I can tolerate mass destruction of children.
