Middle America's Worldview

Initially when we headed to Arizona for our 5 week tour, I had at least 3 things on my mind to accomplish. Unfortunately due to laxidazia and simply falling into a routine, they just didn't happen.

Thought number one. I figured I would start excercising on a regular basis. Either get up early to do it or during my work lunch hour(yeah right, more like 15 min) or in the evening. Somehow I started out doing more than normal and then it was shortened due to business to simply stopping all together.

Thought number two. I figured I could catch up on my web site creation, revision, and home projects for church ect. Again the thought was there, but I find myself on the computer all day for work. I am unable to get on the actual internet due to having to be connected to work via VPN. Hence my online activities are restricted to early before work (prior of 6 a.m. local time) or in the afternoons. Well, I find myself again tired of the computer after being on it all day. I normally just delete my personal email junk and read the blogs of interest, when possible. Needless to say, this hasn't been done yet either.

Do an indepth study of the bible or something and write a small article on it. Sounds good but this takes time to do and personal study. I find myself in my off work time simply playing with the kids. Then the fact being in the four walls, we find ourselves wanting to simply get out of the hotel. This is usually either in the park(when it's not hotter than hell) or walking the malls.

All in all, I have myself to blame. I should just simply do it, regardless of what the it is.

I finished reading Song of Susannah, the second to last book of Stephen Kings Dark Tower Series. It was an excellent book and I can't wait till July when the last book goes to paperback. I simply cannot spend 35 bucks on a book, sorry.

I started reading James Patterson' Big Bad Wolf, in paperback. I like Patterson's writing, as I do Kyle Mills. The chapters are small, but it started out pretty good.

I am completating on seeing the Keanu Reeves movie Constatine at the 2 dollar movie. It is only playing at 9:30 p.m. tonight. I would be watching this alone and while the kids and Kel more than likely be asleep at the hotel. I told Kel, 2 bucks is cheaper than a retal. This would be one of those movies where I alone would watch at night with the kids and Kel asleep anyway. Depends on how tired I am around then anyway.

Tomorrow Kel is taking our daughter to watch The Ice Princess while our son and I stay at the hotel. He doesn't want to watch it and my on-call starts tomorrow (yeah Memorial Day) anyway.
