Back to the Snow ...

Well my first demonstration trip went very well. It was nice to be the one in the drivers seat, well not literally since Peter rented the car so he drove and I navigated but that works for us. It was nice to be the one who is driving the demonstrations. I feel like I am now beginning to make a contribution to the group. I don’t know where or when I am heading out again but I am beginning to like Texas. I wouldn’t mind going back out there.

This morning we got up early and headed to the airport which was right around the corner so it was a short drive. We got our tickets, I tried to upgrade but 1st class was too full so I couldn’t. And Roseanne, Peter and I had a quick breakfast at Chili’s Too then we got right on the plane. I was lucky enough to have a whole row to myself without someone sitting in front of me and so I can use my PC to get some work done. It is very rare that I can do that because I am notorious for always having the seat in front of me be filled with a person who reclines the minute the wheels leave the ground. Its pretty annoying but what can you do. So I got my work done and read some of the Seven Habits, Habit One to be exact, which is to Be Proactive and that means to choose your response to what happens to you rather than just react to situations. The movie Shall We Dance is playing right now on the inflight movie but my folks just bought the movie and I’m going to watch it with Allison. So I got some reading, some work and some play done. I’m looking forward to this weekend, what with Lovefest III mere days away. Gonna get the camera charged up and ready to go.

Photos will go up as soon as I can get them up. And speaking of photos… I’m also looking for help to get a free moBlog. I started a MoBlog for Lovefest III but will probably use it to post photos to this blog from now on, the problem that I am running into is that I can only upload 60 pictures a month unless I can get three people to sign up for a free moBlog. If you are interested in helping me out please e-mail me at abennett96 @ gmail dot com (You know how to write an e-mail address, I’m trying to get my spam count down so no actual links with my e-mail on it.) so I can send an invitation to you directly. Thanks.

You can access my moBlog through this address http://loveprime-lovefest03.buzznet.com/user/. Why loveprime? It was keeping in the theme of lovefest, and since I love the 80’s toys transformers I picked Optimus Prime as my name and hence loveprime. That and other names like Ilovetransformers, of Translove or something like that would send and entirely different message…

And for those of you expecting a possible angry rant from me because I got back out on the road and may have run into some of those travel snafus that give me such heated consternation, sorry, this was a cool trip that was alot of fun. Peter is great to travel with and everyone I met was very nice, the places we went were cool and fun. Nothing to complain about. Some silly stuff that I ended up doing was more of forgetfulness than anything. I got to the hotel the first night and realized that I did not have any cartridges for my Mach 3 Turbo razor, that has never happened to me before, I then demagnetized my keycard at the hotel and then left the keycard in my room one time. When I checked out I returned 3 keys for me alone. And then today I was so conscientious about gathering up the trash in the car I forgot my car charger for my cell phone. Luckily the guy who checked us in was on the ball. I would have been really mad at myself for losing that. I’ve gotta bet an attachment for my Juice battery pack that will charge my phone. I really don’t want another charger to take with me on the road.

Sorting Transformers ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02424 Yesterday I drove Andy to school. Today I walked over with them. I did so not because I didn't think Andy would be safe on their own. Andy has been walking home from school for well over a year so walking to school is the same thing just in reverse. I wanted to see how long it actually took for the walk to go. I of course, over estimated how early we had to head over. The walk itself only takes a brisk 15 minutes. And that is at a modified teenager's shuffle. So Andy can leave the house around 6:25-6:30 and still get there by 6:45 when the doors open to the High School. Good to know. During the day I started one of the projects I've been meaning to start and have been putting off. I'm sorting through my Transformers and getting them ready to sell. I have talked with the guys at Double Midnight Comics about selling them my collection. Not the stuff I have on display and also I am picking out some figures that I want to keep as part of the collectio...

Time with Lexi ...

  Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02401 Today We watched my sister's dog, Lexi. My sister and her husband were coming back up here from their home and they had boarded the dog. They weren't sure if they'd be there in time to pick her up so we did that for them. We had Lexi for a couple of hours before they arrived and we had dinner together. Lexi was pretty chill for the most part until Torrun came in to the living room to investigate. At first they just looked at each other. Andy grabbed for LEXI's leash and then Lexi tried to go after Torrun. Torrun ended up bolting for the upstairs and we did not see her for hours. James knew enough not to even come down.

Time For Another Change ...

  Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02402 Andy decided to clean their room today. In so doing they decided that they no longer wish to hang on to their LEGO sets. So, I now have them all and I spent the afternoon disassembling many sets to fit into the one bucket. There were many Minecraft sets in there. What I'm going to do eventually is take what is in the bucket and separate it down to the individual sets that I still have instructions books for. The organizing of that is going to be daunting. I will try and figure out an efficient way to separate everything but I'm sure that will take some time. Andy also decided that they no longer want the piggy bank that was mine. That I am putting into a box for Andy for when they get older and maybe have kids of their own.
