...it was a nice lazy day.

Sorry for the late posting, I rarely get an ACTUAL lazy day. One where I don't have to worry about doing anything at all. Now that the house is in order, I sit here going "now what?"

I've been in quite a whirlwind of doing things here at home that NOT having to do something seems foreign. Yes, there are things to do around here. But I don't have a bevy of dishes, or a whole house cleaning project to do at the moment.

The basement is next. I have vacation this week, so I am probably going to tackle that next. Get a lot of things out of there and to the alley for pickup. A lot of junk is going to go away once again, but it's been down there for so long that I sit there and ask myself "why didn't I throw this away ages ago?"

And now it's time to go to sleep... in bed with my lady.

...my house is going to look better in the next week or so!

There isn't really a whole lot to post about it, but I'm getting carpeting put back in the house after 8 years of there not being any at all.

It's going to look very nice. I'm quite happy with my selections.

...I get to go see a hockey game.

I've been to a couple Admirals games this year already, but it's Friday... I have had a very long week, and I need something to help start the weekend.

So tonight, the lady and I are going to head on out to the BC and watch the Admirals beat up on the Chicago Wolves. Those are always fun games to go watch. If I had my way, the whole season would be nothing but Milwaukee vs. Chicago. There is just something about it that I can not get over. When I first started going over 12 years ago, those were the games that Ryan and Dan always wanted to go to and I didn't really get why at first. There is a rivalry there for minor league teams that is just as good as the pro levels.

Plus, you know, it's hockey. I'm going to watch regardless.

...I learned some new stuff for the band.

Learned some new stuff for the band tonight. We'll be playing it on 4-15 for our show with The Dark Clan and Red This Ever at Club Anything. There is some special stuff happening that I'm not going to go about saying quite yet. But, I will say it's something I've never done on stage before. That's what made today better.

It's been really hard for me to find something today that made it better because I've had such an awesome 48 hours before it. Spent a lot of time with my lady the last two days and it has been quite nice. I want more of those days and nights. Being able to just sit in bed and talk until we fall asleep is nice. I like waking up in the morning like we did the last two days and just having her there too. It makes getting out of bed a pain, but it's ok. I know she'll be there again.

Until tomorrow, it's time to put the computer and keyboard away. My fingers are way sore from practicing about 4 hours tonight and they are yelling at me quite a bit... and by the way, if you dont have the EP yet, I put the link right up there for you to go get it. It's quite the steal up at amazon.

...I introduced the lady to the first of many awesome movies.

So, I made her watch The Usual Suspects tonight. She had not seen it yet. I consider it one of the best suspense movies out there and I have watched it probably in the range of 40-50 times. This...is just the start. It was revealed a few months back that she has not seen many of the great 80's movies of the late John Hughes, pretty sure she has not seen the Goonies yet, and I have to make sure she knows One Crazy Summer and Better Off Dead as well as I do. I did get her to watch Real Genius, she likes that one. So maybe it's time to get some of the other awesome Val Kilmer movies out of the way too (can we say Willow?).

I am sure there are more that she needs to see. I think my kids may have seen more bad 80's movies than she has thanks to me being obsessed with watching them over and over and not changing the channel when I used to have cable and they would jsut happen to be on TBS or TNT. But, The Usual Suspects is a great start.
