Another weekend, already? If it has to be Saturday I will take it. Yet, it hardly seems like a week since my last installment.
Last night we had some friends over for dinner. Chris and Anastasia are very cool and I’m thankful to have them on staff at Harbor dreaming of ways to reach people and bring justice to City Heights. Kristen absolutely went off and delivered one of the most incredible collections of food ever. With a mediteranian theme she made everything from scratch. Homus, pita bread, chicken skewers, salad, and even frozen yogurt. Give that woman a kitchen and some ingredients and she comes to life. All of those years of girl porn have really paid off.
Today we are taking the kids to the zoo for a while. I’ve never been and they have each been a few times. So that will be fun. Have we gotten used to Southern California to the point where we are laid back about going to the San Diego Zoo? I mean, that place is a wonderland of zoology. I’m sure it’ll be fun.
As usual, Saturday kicks off with some quiet time. Everyone is sleeping in and I am quietly listening to some tunes. Here are the next 10 tunes randomly selected on my iPod… er, I mean iPhone.
#1 Sweet Home Alabama by Lynard Skynyrd *****
#2 Loose Lips by Kimya Dawson ****
#3 Baba O’Riley by The Who *****
#4 Footloose by Kenny Loggins *****
#5 Here is Our King by David Crowder Band ****
#6 More than Life by Hillsong United ****
#7 Can’t Find the Words by Karina ***
#8 Mysterious Ways by U2 *****
#9 All the Young Dude by Mott the Hopple ****
#10 Late Night, Early Town by Lloyd Cole
Here we are. Another Saturday. We’ve all awoken in a new place this week and it’s been fun. One thing we can’t get over about the new house is how quiet it is. No more noisy cars zooming by, no loud noise when the furnace kicks on, and we’re not so close to our neighbors that we can hear them sneeze.
This morning we are off to Anza-Borrego State Park to see the desert flowers. Yesterday, Tic told us we had to go this weekend or we’d be sorry. With advice like that we can’t go wrong. I’m sure we’ll have a ton of pictures to share of our adventure later.
In the meantime, I’m chilling in my super quiet house listening to music. Here are the next 10 tunes flowing this morning. Completely random, ratings included.
#1- Don’t Give Up by Sanctus Real ***
#2 Deliver Me by David Crowder Band ****
#3 Leader of the Band by Dan Fogelberg ***
#4 It Just Takes One by Addison Road ***
#5 The Wrestler by Bruce Springsteen ****
#6 Gotta Have You by The Weepies
#7 Shine for You by Hillsong United ***
#8 Free Fallin’ by John Mayer *****
#9 What’d I Say by Ray Charles ***
#10 Burn for You by Steve Fee ***
Eh, hopefully today will be better than these 10 songs. My ipod hates me.
Ah, Saturday. This was a fast week full of projects, lists, late nights, and dreaming about the future. I would say that I’m looking forward to a relaxing weekend… but we’re moving! Needless to say, our Saturday is a little jacked up getting ready for it.
But this morning is simple. A man and his computer. A boy and his cartoons. A girl and sleeping in. Kristen and Stoney are off climbing a mountain. You know… a quiet start to a wild weekend.
Here are the next 10 tunes I’m listening to. As always, these are completely random and my ratings are included.
#1 Drowning by Hootie and the Blowfish ****
#2 Insane in the Brain by Cypress Hill *****
#3 Beautiful Jesus by Kristian Stanfill ****

#9 Life is Beautiful by Vega4 ****
#10 Too Much Space by Lisa Germano
It’s been a recovery week for me. A lot of extra rest and a lot of extra time spent with Kristen. Today is a continuation of that. Kristen is going off with a friend to La Jolla for a meeting and I’m chillaxing at home with the short people in my life. If we get adventurous we may venture out, but I am thinking we’ll mostly just hang here.
As always, music is a big part of my day. Here are the next 10 tunes funneling from my ipod to my cranium. I’m sharing them with you completely at random, without cheating, and my ratings included.
#1 From the Inside Out by Hillsong United ****
