A quiet weekend here in San Diego for us. Yesterday was a big day for YS as we launched this year’s NYWC website. With just 145 days until the first convention… it’s fun to see things coming together! We also kicked off a little fundraiser via the YS Blog yesterday. I’m stoked to see the response so far. I have  yet another project going live Sunday, I’ll share more about that on Monday.

Last night, Kristen and I finally watched Slumdog Millionaire. What a powerful movie. I can’t imagine how hard it was to shoot that thing.

This morning Kristen is off jogging while I’m home with the family. Later Paul and I will be taking the dog to the beach and from there, who knows? Here are the next 10 tunes I’m listening to. As always, totally random and my ratings included.

It’s kind of cool having a Monday through Friday job. For the first time in forever I can look forward to going to church in the morning without thinking of a million work details. That’s a guilty pleasure. 

Today we are heavy into “honey-do” as we have a graduation party at the house in just 8 days. So this morning I got started painting the basement floor a sexy basement floor grey color. We’re also tidying up some kitchen projects that are long overdue. This includes finishing the kitchen cabinet and counter thing that has been in “pending” mode for nearly a year. It’s kind of crazy how you just get used to stuff not being 100% done, isn’t it?

So with that stuff spinning the iPod is working overtime. Here at the next 10 tunes I’ll be jamming to. As always, completely random, no cheating, ratings included.

2. Emtpy Heart by Newworldson ****
3. Proud Father by Jon McLaughlin ****
4. It Just Takes One by Addison Road *****
5. Loose Lips by Kimya Dawson *****
6. God of This City by Chris Tomlin *****
7. Stop to Love by Luther Vandross ****
8. I Stand Amazed by Chris Tomlin ****
9. Pieces of the Sun by Test Your Reflex ****
10. Welcome to this Place by Hillsong ****

A quiet Saturday planned for our house. I’ve got some reviews to finalize and stuff like that, I’m going to work on the podcast for YMX… but other than that, I’ll probably just be doing normal Saturday stuff all day. My big trip out is going to be for water softener salt. You know you’ve got a lame day planned when that’s on the agenda.

As I drink my coffee and get ready for the day, here are the next 10 songs being piped into my eardrums courtesy of iTunes. As always, I’m just hitting the shuffle button and writing down the next 10 songs that come up, ratings included.

2. All Creatures of Our God and King by David Crowder Band ****
