Stepped on the scale today and realized no gain and no loss to my weight. But the scale is acting odd. Can’t seem to calculate BMI, muscle mass, all that other good stuff I’ve been keeping track of. It just errors out. I tried four times, but faulted out each time. I’ll check the batteries and hope for better next Monday.
Peace out.
Today was my one time step daughter’s combination 19th birthday and going away party. She’s moving to Tennessee to live with a friend. We had it at Dawn and Mark’s place and I’ve got to thank them for letting us all use their place. It worked out great. Must have been 25 people at the party. Karin seemed pleased. Lots of gifts, well wishes, and attention for her.
We took the Xbox and Guitar Hero and the kids all took turns playing it. My boys were there as well. I think it’s the first time I’ve seen them since Christmas. It was good seeing them and I really need to make more of an effort to get together with them more often. Tyler says he’s going to take his drivers license test on Monday. I look forward to hearing that he’s gotten it.
As a bonus, the boys gave me a couple of Xbox racing games back that they don’t play, Project Gotham 3 and Test Drive Unlimited.
The plan was to stay on that side of the state and go visit my buddies tomorrow, but neither of us was up to another night of sleeping on a balloon (air mattress) or the inevitable drama and chaos that comes with staying at Tasha’s moms. So we packed up and, despite the weather, we headed home. Lots of ice on the roads, but we made it home before midnight.
Time for bed. Later.
So the decision of Xbox 360 vs. Playstation 3 has been made. Which makes the decision of Rock Band 2 vs. Guitar Hero World Tour a no brainer. Since I won’t be playing with my friends on PS3 and since my kids have Guitar Hero… We have a winner. And since today is payday I’m off to Sam’s Club to make it a reality.
Tasha thinks it’ll be a fun game to take to the party this weekend and for two weeks from now when Kari and her daughter come out for a visit. I agree. Plus, I like to pretend I’m the rock star that I never got to be when I was young enough to pull it off. Should be a good time. Or at least that is my hope.
Tonight we’re leaving for the west side of the state. Saturday is Karin’s birthday/going away party and then Sunday is going to be gaming with the guys. We’re taking the Xbox, and tonight we’ll get a chance to practice a bit with whoever is at moms.
Enjoy your weekend. Later.
Got myself a hair cut today. As usual my only requirement being that it be shorter and that I not have to do any work to style the cut. After all, it’s only hair. It’ll grow back.
I put a list of blog posts together. Things that I’ve meant to write about but just haven’t managed to sit down and write out. It’s a pretty long list. Intimidating even. I don’t know when I’m going to have time to write out all these things. I guess I’ll backdate them as I get them written out.
Monday was a holiday, Presidents Day, and since the banks were closed, I had the day off. Yeah me. I spent the day relaxing, sleeping in, putzing around on the computer, playing some Xbox, just lazing about. I had some ideas about what I wanted to get done with my day off, but none of that happened. Ah well.
We got Tasha set up with an Xbox Live ID, Punky Hope. Now we just need to get her some friends… I mean other than me, Arohen. We played some Left 4 Dead and I got some Microsoft Points and bought Ticket 2 Ride. It’s a board game that the guys and I play on our game day’s at Kevin’s. I think they did a pretty good job in transferring it to the digital media. We had some fun playing it. I think it’ll be a good purchase.
Later.
