I know, I know, it's been a month since my last post! Things happen, life gets busy, I get stressed out...the normal happenings of this time of year. Let's just say that I am thankful that confirmation is over. BUT, now that it's over, I have to begin thinking about next year, and I need to plan it all out by the end of June. I am feeling under the gun. So, let me offer some highlights from the past month for those of you keeping score at home:
* I passed my hunter safety education course. Yes, I can now go and hunt stuff. I mostly want to see if I can do it. I think I want to actually try for pheasants. Can you hunt those with a Howitzer? I hope so...
* We bought a shed to keep the snowblower and other outdoor tools of death, sweat, and pain. Yeah so what it sat in my garage for about three weeks after delivery. We finally put the stupid thing together this past weekend. I swear, you needed a degree in physics from MIT to construct it, but then again, I was a helluva Lego builder as a kid. So, it is up and killing the piece of grass I put it on. We went for the all plastic construction with built in floor. Very sweet!
* Went to Ikea a couple weeks back to buy our boy a new "bigboy" bed. Plus, I needed a sidetable and lamp for my office to go with my new office furniture (see April 11th post). Anyway, I swear to you...each time I go to Ikea, I think the greater Chicago area knows I am coming and they show up at the same time I do, just to piss me off. Wall to wall people is not my idea of enjoyment. I went because we needed to as Ikea has some great deal with the above said items. My boy now has this bed he will most likely keep at least until he grows past the 6'3'' range, and then we might have to invest in something else.
* I have been thinking about Bram ALOT lately. I was scanning the radio a few weeks back, and out of the blue, my scanner stopped at this random station, and then and there, The Cure came on. I sang along of course. I was then thinking about Bram the other day I as I was downloading Prince "Lovesexy." He loved that album. We both had that thing memorized...Bram even would imitate all the damn instrument parts....that was funny as hell. I got a DVD from his parents a week or so ago...this is the same DVD that we all watched at the college the day before his funeral. I finally worked myself up to watch it today and pretty much cried through the whole thing. Between the music and the photos of Bram, it is such a great tribute to him. Anyway, I have been thinking how much I miss him, and how much I wish he was still around. I have been somewhat depressed because of all that. I hate feeling this way, because I thought most of my grieving was done. But, I guess not...
* On a lighter note, there have been some great CDs released lately that I have been tossing around in the Ipod:

Dokken - Lightning Strikes Again
The Seventh Power - Dominion & Power
The Seventh Power - Dominion & Power
Rush - Snakes and Arrows Live
Joe Satriani - Professor Satchafunkilus and the Musterion of Rock
Well, that's about it for now. Lots going on with me. I feel like my life just needs to slow the hell down. I feel like I am missing some important parts of it. I just wish that I could throw out the stress caused by weddings, confirmation planning, preaching planning, countless meetings, and not being able to spend the time I need to for my family. That's what is getting me lately (yes, this is my pissing match with me). Help. More later...
