And life just keeps on rollin…

New Music Thursday

I know it’s been a while. Stuff happens. I hear this on the radio a lot and I really like this song. Very mellow and laid back. Can’t help but smile when I hear it. It’s called Bubbly by Colbie Caillat. Enjoy.

Bleh…

I’m in Houston for the next two weeks.  The weather is drizzly; a cold front has come through; Houston traffic is still the same.

This week will be interesting because nobody knows what programs are still going on anymore.  They’ve done a lot of changes with the TAKS testing schedules and not all of us have been fortunate enough to have been notified of the changes.  What fun.

Season is half way over.  I’m sitting at about 5,500 miles on the season so far.  Don’t think I’ll top 10k but I’ll come close.  We’ll see.  I killed one of my plants.  In my defense, I wasn’t home the previous 5 weeks to water it.  Oh well.  The other ones are still alive.

Time to get ready for Humble ISD.  This is a huge program.  Busy busy.

Update

Well, I’m starting my fourth straight week out on the road.  So far I’ve racked up a little over 3 thousand miles.  I’ll hit 4 thousand by the end of this week.  I’m currently working the Central Texas area from Belton all the way down through Austin to nearly the San Antonio area.  Next week I’ll hit up the San Antonio area specifically.  To say that I’m a little tired is an understatement.  This travel season will last until the first week of December which means I’ve still got many more miles to rack up.  I wonder if I can hit 10 thousand miles this year.

Oh, I almost forgot.  Before I left the Dallas area, I decided to treat myself.  I’ve never really been able to wear sunglasses so Saturday I decided to swing by the Oakley store in the North Park mall.  I picked up a nice pair of Oakleys and was able to see some old friends at the same time.  Why did I buy an expensive pair of sunglasses?  On Friday I got Lasik surgery for my eyes.  Yup, I don’t have to wear prescription glasses anymore AND I can wear cool sunglasses like normal cool people do.  Of course my coolness is a little greater than others.  It’s been a little over a week since the surgery and my eyes are great.  I still have moments where I want to adjust my glasses.  I figure that will continue to happen from a little while since I wore glasses for nearly 15 years.  I’m also still getting used to seeing myself without glasses.  It’s amazing how much of a difference they can make.  I can see why no one could tell that Clark Kent was Superman…

I can’t make any promises about regular updates.  I know I missed a post for last weeks New Music Thursday.  I have decided I won’t post a make up for that one.  I will try to get one up this week, but I can’t make any promises.  I have 3 programs on Thursday plus I’ll be changing hotels as I move from Round Rock to New Braunfels.   We shall see.  If you’re in the Austin area, and you read this, give me a shout and we’ll see about getting together.  I’ll also try to be mindful about being proactive on the phone calls myself.

Happy belated birthday to Autumn.  Sorry I didn’t get you anything this year.  I will try to call soon!

Another belated birthday wish to Heather.  I promise a phone call to you as well.

If I missed anyone, I’m sorry.  I’m a horrible friend I know.

There’s your update Ryan.
