    Saturday TunesSince Spring has finally arrived in most of the country, I don’t mind bragging a little. We’re going to have a fantastic weekend! With tempuraturs in the mid to upper 70s, our family is drawn to the beach like a mosquito to a bug zapper. Right now, Kristen is meeting some of my co-workers for a hike up Cowles Mountain. Later this morning we’ll all take Stoney to the beach for his weekly ocean therepy. Tommorow we’re headed to the beach after church to resume our Sunday beach tradition after a long break for Winter. Then on Monday night our community group has decided to meet down in Ocean Beach for a bonfire on the beach.

    In the meantime, the kids are watching cartoons. Water is boiling for coffee and I am settling in to relax a bit. Here are the next 10 tunes I’m listening to. As always, no cheating and my ratings are included.

    We just said goodbye to Kristen’s parents. They were here for 8 days. It was a really fun visit and we were all sad to see them go. Lots and lots of happy memories.

    I have a feeling today will be fairly uneventful. A couple errands, a couple walks, but that’s pretty much it. Lifestyles of the rich and famous, right?

    As with every Saturday, my morning gets started with a nice cup of tea and some music. Here are the next 10 songs on my ipod. As always, this is totally random and my ratings are included.

    With Santa Ana winds bringing a warm weekend, we’re going to spend a lot of the day getting fresh air. As of right now we’re thinking tide pools and Pacific Beach… but that could change at any minute.

    I am far from chilled out. This is the first day of my winter break. There’s plenty to do. Starting Christmas shopping would be a good start. In a couple of hours we are going to go look at a new place to rent. We’re just starting to think about this as our current place is too small. Kristen and I are going to sit down and hammer out ideas for Beyond the Zoo. (launching January 1st, ahhh!) I have a couple lingering work projects that I need to take care of. I really want to get some reading done. Yeah, lots of other things to do.

    Anyway, I’m taking a little timeout right now. Cleansing breath in. All that jazz. So here are the next 10 tunes flowing through my cranium. As always, this is a completely random shuffle. No cheating, my rating is included.

    #1 A Distant Episode by Till Bronner ****

    #2 Anthem for American Teenagers by Jon McLaughlin ****

    #3 Homecoming by Kanye West *****

    #4 Kryptonite by 3 Doors Down *****

    #10 Call in the Calvary by Astoria ****

    Kristen and I are feeling a bit post-party this morning. (I’ll create another post a little later about the YS Christmas party.) We don’t have anything on the agenda today. Seriously, other than picking-up Jonathan and taking him to the airport, I am not sure what we are doing with our day.

    This morning is pancakes and chatting with our kids about last night. Megan and Paul had FOUR babysitters last night. Jon, Jenna, Paul, and Amy from our community group completely spoiled our kids last night with a holiday party of their own. They made gingerbread houses, played Christmas bingo, chubby bunny, and good cop/bad cop.

    Anyway, as always music is a part of my morning. Here are the next ten tunes playing on my iPod. As always, I’m just hitting the shuffle songs button and recording what comes up. So this is completely random, no cheating, and my personal rankings are included.

    #1 360 by Josh Hoge ****

    #2 Night on Fire by VHS or Beta ****

    #3 Take My Life by Chris Tomlin ****

    #4 Falling Slowly by Glen Hansgard and Marketa Inglova *****
