Sometimes I rule.
That is really it. I am not going to go into the details. But sometimes, I rule. Right now, I am ruling.
Music Lately…
So what have I been listing to lately:
Mashups... I have been listing to a bunch of this stuff, which has been fun... Dylan just brought a CD back from cali that has bunch of good stuff. Girl Talk's 3 albums have been getting some play too
I am robot and proud.... kind of like if the postal service had done a chill out album... super nice. no vocals, so it is great in the background music. I am happy with it.
resolutions
not that I am big on resolutions, but I am working on a few things lately:
1) Keep the blogs more up to date, especially the baby one. Time passes quicker now with a kid, so I need to keep track of the baby things. And with the second one coming, I want to keep track of it better. When rebecca writes in the baby books, we often look at the blogs and the fotki albums for indicators on the dates. So the better records I keep, the more on top of it all we will be.
2) Get to work on time. Not that my coworkers care, but I tend to come in around 9:30-10am. That is fine, except that means I get home around 6pm. If I get in earlier, I will obviously leave earlier. And get home earlier. I am not spending that much of the AM time being productive, or spending quality time with the family, so I may as well reduce it. It is not like mason lets us sleep much later than 730a ANYWAY, so I am trying to get out the door a bit after 8a. So far so good (I started last week)
3) Energy usage. I am trying to use less energy when possible. I have swapped most of the light bulbs to the low wattage florescent ones and I am making a pic effort to turn things off when I leave the room. Also, as rebecca will attest, I am way into the gas mileage that the Camry gets (which is really good btw, I can get high 30s/low 40s on the expressway, driving nicely). I will still waste gas at the track, etc, but I will still attempt to offset it in other ways. We'll see how much more I can do. I would love to reduce the electricity usage in the house more. Not that our bill is high, but none the less. I am also going to try to take the bus more and walk more to and from work.
4) Take better care of myself. Primarily food intake and exercise. I eat enough bad food, so I am trying to eat healthier. And I really don't exercise much, so I am trying to get more on that. This is also a continuation of what I have been doing for a few months, so it isn't NEW per se, but...
So we'll see how those work out for 2007.
the holidays…. are over
the holidays are over, and so it is. Everything went well, but we ran around like idiots visiting family, etc and I would have preferred more time to be lazy and work on projects, etc. But such is life.
We did christmas eve at my parents. It went fine, we were there for 7.5 hours, which is kind of long, but it was nice. Christmas day was at Rebecca's parents, and we were there for 11.5 hours, also a bit long, but it was nice.
Even though I was annoyed by my change of plans, even though it was never to be, I went to work on wednesday. And sure enough, one of the staff's hard drives died in the AM, forcing me to quick rebuild the machine. So even if I HAD gotten the time off, I would have been in the office anyway. So it worked out...
On new years we went to the party at kieran's and it was super nice and chill. I had a great time. Rebecca drove and dropped D and Sarah off and went home. Yesterday we chilled out until we had to go pick up mason, who spent the night at the dugan's. We got to sleep in until about 12:30. it ruled.
So back to work tomorrow.
