More time in the day, please... kthxbye.

Ugh... I've had a recent event that I won't discuss much further, but I basically didn't have time to do something that was necessary. Not a "sort of nice" thing, but something I really needed to do. I missed out.

Anwyay, my life will continue, so don't worry. This weekend was a little slower. Friday, we hit the grocery store, and I paid some bills and the baby-sitters. I also got a new "big" flat-panel monitor and sold a 19-inch CRT monitor to someone who needed it way more than me.

Saturday, I made sausage and eggs for the kids, and we kind of lazed about. Some laundry, which is a standard Saturday activity for me, and a little bit of tinkering. I've still got a stack of paperwork to go through that I intended to complete this weekend.

Sunday, we went to church at CHURCH52. A friend of mine from high-school is the Music Pastor there. My wife and I both grew up going to chruch, but we've really faded out on it. However, she, I and my mom have kind of been nagging each other to get back into it. I know our kids need it. LOL. We enjoyed it. I'd like to go back. I think my wife has a few issues with all the singing. I don't really have issues with it, but we definitely both grew up worshiping in a more "reserved" manner. Pray for me and my family as we come to terms with it all.

I didn't get around to actually installing Amahi, ClarkConnect, or Windows HomeServer. Maybe one night this week, but I honestly think it'll have to wait until the weekend. I did do a bit of research though, and in the back half of the weekend, I realized Amahi came out with new stuff based on Fedora 9. I'm really excited about what they're doing with it, but ClarkConnect has a proven track record with me, and a seemingly more "mature" web site.

Lunch time Monday progress report... that's what this feels like. Blogging is too hard again. I just don't do anything I want to blog about on a daily basis... I guess I can change what I do, or how I feel about it. That way, my Aunt Staci won't say my blog posts are "boring".

I guess I could get those pictures of my kids uploaded...

I know how you feel about not having much to blog about on a daily basis... and sadly about the only time I blog is when I have pictures to go along with what I'm blogging. But I've come to realize that the everyday thoughts and goings-on are what people enjoy reading... That is the stuff that makes them feel like they know you and what is going on in your life! By the way, I've enjoyed trying to catch up on what has been going on with your family... I've missed you guys! :)

It was great to see you at church Sunday, Marland! It was great to see you... period :) Come back again soon and let's get that grill-out on the calendar! Talk to you soon.

Peters... Amy, LOL. I forgot who deek was, glad you responded. At first I figured it'd be some random guy.

Yeah, I'm really trying to get better at blogging "for serious". I've got a ton of pictures I really just need to go through, organize and put up. My mom-in-law does a great job of e-mailing us ones she takes though.

Nathan: It was good to see you to. I was totally hiding out for a few years. Nothing horrible, but definitely "not connected". I'll relay the story at another time, if you're really interested. It's awesome that you have such a beautiful family, and we did have a good experience at CHURCH52.

I took a read through Isaiah 52. Definitely a good theme for the church.

You're using wordpress, so uploading pictures, depending on your hosting situation, should be really easy. I set Amy's wordpress blog up on my normal hosting (godaddy) and she just uploads photos into the blog and she's set.

I do agree, blogging is tough to get started, but once you have a routine, it gets easier. Plus, if you are getting comments and hits to your site (its nice to get some hit counters or tracking logs to confirm activity), it really gives you motivation. Stick with it and you'll do well.
