Fulfilling Friday

Posted on Friday November 18th, 2005 by | Comments Off on Fulfilling Friday

We did some things today I was pleased to get done, we went to the beach for my nieces school project of “Flat Stanley” and got all the food we will need for Thanksgiving and then came home and rearranged the office. We had the office set up so we could turn half of it into a sitting area, but it never really came out as we liked, so we took over the entire office as an office and it’s like adding an entire wing to the room, much more open and spacey.

We then ate dinner as we caught up on our DVR shows, one of which was Monday Night Raw the show dedicated to Eddie Guerrero which was a really emotional show.

I have not watched wrestling for the most part the last 5 or so years, I still keep up on the news and will always get Wrestlmania every year, but I lost a lot of my passion for it, so its rare I watch it. But this show was reminding me of Owen Hart dieing, which was what made me realize it was either wrestling or my wife, and I choose her, so it was something I have not thought of in years.

WWE played a song that I thought fit perfectly with Eddie, sung by Johnny Cash written by I believe NIN

“Hurt”

I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that’s real
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything

[Chorus:]
What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

I wear this crown of thorns
Upon my liar’s chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stains of time
The feelings disappear
You are someone else
I am still right here

[Chorus:]
What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

If I could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way

Classic Cash in this song, perfect in every way, I do not recall if I ever heard NIN sing it, but I would like to, but in the mean time I will be getting “American IV” by Cash so I can listen to this classic.

I just wanted to thank Eddie for doing what he did and with the passion he did it with, there are too few of you left, both in wrestling and in life.

RIP

Evening!

Posted on Friday November 18th, 2005 by | Comments Off on Evening!

I’ve been busy at work. Between Cheryl being off for a week and having big wigs scheduled to be here Monday, so I’ve been trying to get things done. It wasn’t bad, weirdly, in fact I enjoy the challenge of keeping things together.

It has been warm until just a few hours ago. They have been predicting a cold front for the last few days but it just hadn’t moved until today. It has been nice to have the cool. We are able to have our windows open & sleep without the air! I love that. =)

But it now looks like we may have another storm headed our way : Gamma It is November already!! The season for hurricanes is suppose to be over!! But then so is tornado season in the Midwest. =( Those are scary.

Last week we noticed that our dryer was no longer heating. =( That was not good, it is only about 5-6yrs old. We were going to get a repair guy out here, but after looking a few things up online we decided to try it ourself. We ordered a fuse & it got here yesterday. Harold got it in & it now works! Amazing how much better I feel knowing that we have a working dryer again. =)

Today was my day off. Heather had sent us a “Flat Stanley” from her 3rd grade class. It is a paper doll that they mail out to learn about new places when you send them back. So I sent off a post card to her class from “Stanley” and we went to the beach to take pictures (which was Uncle Harold’s idea). I made Stanley a pair of shorts and Harold made him some sunglasses and we built a small sand castle to put Stanley on. Harold was making fun of me, saying that it was the saddest sand castle he has ever seen! But I’ve never made one before……..lol I’m waiting until next week to send Stanley back with the pictures cuz I want the post card to get there before he does. =)

I’ve been working on the redesign of my site. It is taking a bit more time that I thought it would, but right now we have the time before we switch servers. So I’m going to get to work on that this evening & tomorrow I’m going to attack our receipts since they are stacking up.
