Sweet Home Alabama.... or not?

0 comments | Tuesday, May 31, 2005

Don't worry, I haven't lost my deep love for my home state just yet... but the "fine folks" with the Alabama Highway Patrol managed to take me for $158.00... gee thanks guys. Seems that the speed limit on one of the roads I have driven for years has dropped another 10 mph... down to 60. I was going 70... the officer says I was going 74, but he didn't radar me (says he did, but my radar detector did not go off... who do you believe?)

Anyway, the trip was otherwise quite good... Otto (one of our dogs) had a ceizure at the vets office where we board him. I thought that was going to be a big bill, but turned out to only be about an extra $15 for the meds and time spent in the hospital. Whew!

But seriously, other than those 2 small events, we had a blast this weekend! Going to see J & R was a real treat... they have a nice new apartment and a pool. Glad we got to spend some time with them. We miss those guys! We went from seeing them at least once a week, to once every couple of months now... just sucks!

Ann's folks are coming up next weekend, and we are headed to Branson.... shut up... it's not funny.
:-)

Demotivation... and "Coast Mode"

0 comments | Thursday, May 26, 2005

Ever have one of those days, where you are totally demotivated? Today is one of those days.. i'm counting down the hours to when I get to head back to Alabama. Don't get me wrong, Arkansas is great and all, but it's not home.

I'm listening to "Workin' Man Blues" by Merle Haggard on Launchcast (haha, I work in radio, but listen to launchcast... go figure) I can relate on some levels, but not others... for example, got no idea what it's like to have 9 kids... geez.. doesn't he know what causes that? Man.. get him a biology book!

Anyway, back to the topic at hand... i'm in what I like to call "coast mode" today... that has nothing to do with the beach except that I sometimes daydream about the beach while I do it... no "coast mode" is doing the least amount of work possible, while still not completely laying out of work... laziness, you say? Nah.. it's just a little break from the nascar paced speed i've been at the last couple of weeks. I'm ready for this break. I need this break. I need to take some time off, but that just isn't going to happen.

I've got the greatest boss in the world.. i'm off call 2 weekends in a row! W00T
