    Saturday TunesAnother 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 *****

    Saturday TunesHere 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.

    Saturday TunesAh, 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.

  • Saturday Tunes

    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.

    Lots going on. Of course next week I’ll be leaving for the first National Youth Workers Convention which packs in all sorts of stuff. On top of that we have two emergent issues at home. First, Stoney is on his way to the vet. We had heard fleas were an issue in San Diego, but we now need help controlling this problem. I’d take pictures but it is too gross. On top of that, as I blogged last night our car is busted. So right now I’m waiting for Enterprise to pick me up so we can have some wheels while we figure out our next step with the car.

    Long story short, music is always part of my day. So here are the next 10 tunes I’m listening too during this challenging day. As always, totally random and no cheating.

    I think things are settling in for us. The house is mostly unpacked with just a few things left to put together and sort out. Yesterday I worked a half day. After work we went to the beach, then dinner at The Corvette Diner in Hillcrest. This morning I’m headed to a test of some content YS is rolling out in Spring 09. Have I said lately I’m the luckiest guy alive? I love my job!
