It’s been a good week. OK, better than average. It’s been a really nice week. A friend was nice enough to watch our kids on Monday and Wednesday. (Last week of their 3 week Spring Break) She took them to the pool, had some wicked great activities, and on Wednesday they went to see Disney’s Earth movie. Tuesday, Kristen stayed home with them and took them to the Kroc Center pool. Thursday was my day, I took the kids to Sea World… fulfilling one of my lifelong desires to see Shamu. I suppose the kids had a good time too. Yesterday, the kids tagged along with me in the office for a few hours and then we drove up to Oceanside to hang with dear friends from Romeo, Fran and Andrea.

On top of that, we got our State and Federal tax returns. That was a major fast-forward towards our financial goals for 2009.

Now its the weekend. Kristen is already off to her weekly romp up Cowles Mountain. Later this morning I’ll take the dog to the beach so he can play in the water. In the meantime, I’m chilling and listening to some music. Here are the next 10 songs on my playlist. As always, selected at random and my ratings included.

#1 Only Want to Be With You by Hootie & The Blowfish ***** [classic!]

Time is quickly ticking away on our tenure here in Romeo. With roughly two weeks left, we’ve got our garage sale on tap for next weekend as well as loads of stuff to “pre-sell.” (Seriously, come over and make an offer on any of the furniture, yard tools, and other stuff we need to unload.) Later, I’ll be cleaning up the car more so I can list it on Craigslist. Yippee!

Anyway, here are the next 10 tunes blasting my cranium. As always, this is totally random with no cheating, rating included.

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.
