A long week

This week has come to a close yet for a Friday it made sure to go out with a bang. I'm screwed. The first is coming up and all the bills are due. Seems that I never seem to work enough to cover it all. I find it hard to keep up with this pace and be more than a robot. Once the week starts I find it hard not to shut off the brain and let life pass me by.

Baby registry...

Tonight I came home from work to go and do baby registry with my soon to be wife. It blows me away how much money could be spent on things you (or your baby) don't need. The really sad part is that there is so much of it. So much in fact that it seemed to me that there is more STUFF than things you will need. Welcome to capitalism, right? Ok, enough of the rant.

Work today was frustrating. Mistakes, doing things twice and three times over, and more than a few setbacks latter my day came to a grinding halt. I find it very daunting to go to work in the morning. This project is easy and seems like it should be a quick slap together. However some of these details are really kicking my butt. Thus I lost a half day in labor and quite a few dollars in materials. It's a little hard to keep at it after a day like this but work won't wait so I guess I have to get back at it.

Wow it's been a long time

Ya so it's been a while since I posted and it is a new blog so I might as well start over. So on to the news!

The reason I quit posting was that I fell in love and will be getting married in just over a year. Life has been pretty crazy recently. The baby will arrive in early February of next year and Ona and I will tie the knot the following August. Other than that it's all work and little play. Life just takes over don't it!?!

I realize now that growing up is still just another hurdle on the long track of life. But I also realize that life is just as much fun when it up and changes on you.

I start a new cabinet project tomorrow that should prove to be interesting and engaging. The customer is very appreciative and easy to work with, making it a joy to work for them. I continue to come to grips with the fact that I am talented at this form of creation and expression. This line of work suits me and makes for a new look on life and work every day. This is quite the encouragement to me because as Ona and I start a family I realize how important it is to enjoy my job so that I can experience my home life that much more.
