a day in the life: [01-09-2010]

Today was a bit of a crazy day. After an eventful evening yesterday, which didn't go anything like I had hoped, today turned out to be busy and I didn't get much in the way o f anything I needed / wanted to do done. it's cool though. The things that did get done were pretty alright and the day as a whole went pretty well.

Lets see if I can recount the day.

Got up with the boys this morning, got them breakfast and the like, and set them up with a movie. While they ate and watched TV, I cleaned, in preparation for the guests that I had just recently been informed that we were going to be having over today. Manda said she'd get it when she got up, but with the fiasco that was last night and the fact that she really needed to get some decent sleep, I just went ahead and got a start on things. So by the time she got up a good portion of what was needed to be done was good to go.

SJ and K stopped in for a bit while they were in town before having to head back south for SJ's show tonight. it was amazing to see them again. I hate that I only get to see them every few months. I miss SJ dearly when she goes. K and I talked potential business stuff for a while in the kitchen while the ladies caught up in the other room. Some pretty interesting ideas floating about. If K will get me specs I might have things there to work on.

A while later, MFT, the really awesome singer/ songwriter that works at the coffee shop with M came by. Unfortunately about this time, K and SJ had to leave us. M was going to read his Tarot for him today, but not without the guys bum-rushing him and trying to steal him away for a while first. And as it was his first time over I felt obliged to try and steal a few minutes too. I like showing off a bit to other musicians too, so I got out my guitars to show him.

Then I took the guys and went to play some video games while M did MFT's cards and such. A bit later, they came back and joined us, we just kind of hung out for a while and chilled. We ended up playing legos with the kids for a while, while just talking and goofing off.

After MFT headed out for his show this evening, we mostly hung out around the house relaxing.
R and A came by a few hours later and stayed most of the evening. J got home from work late and left to go catch a movie, which was apparently awful.

I went and tried desperately to work on a background image to use on the KCM website and unfortunately came up with next to nothing for the application background, but did end up with a few new nifty samples for other pieces.

Had a salad with M and then helped bake pumpkin muffins afterwards.

Had 2 really kind of bizarre nosebleeds today. Out of the blue. real gushers too.

I think I've hit the high points. Tomorrow I'll try and do better about keeping track.
