I’ll take a step away from the “Life by the Numbers” series for a moment.  Heck, it seems like I’ve done that for many moments.    I’m trying to remember a lot, on top of finding the time to write them out.

It’s quiet in the house.  Our little princess is with Granny this week.  I miss her a lot, even though she only left this morning.  However, I really missed not getting a running hug this evening when I got home.  She’s my little girl, and I love her so much.

I celebrated my 33rd birthday Sunday.  I’m 1/3 of the way to 100.  Ouch.  I also celebrated it with Amy and Mom Saturday at the Drum Corps International (DCI) show in Atlanta.  That was a lot of fun, and I got to see quite a few of my old friends I marched with in Southwind.

I’m trying to finish a freelance Web project on top of the major-pain-in-the-rear site at work.  Because I’ve been so busy in front of the computer at work, I haven’t been too motivated to work on my freelance site.  I will, though.  That payday will be nice.

I’m also debating whether or not to officiate football again this fall.  I went to our association’s meeting tonight, but I’ll be honest.  I lost all interest halfway through.  I worked more games than anyone last year, and it did burn me out a bit.  The thought of being away from the house even one or two nights a week, on top of everything else, doesn’t appeal to me this year.  I hate to let Mike down, but I’m just not feeling it right now.

I’m getting ready for next weekend!  We have another Birmingham Ghostbusters meeting and workshop.  I had such a good time with the guys last month.  We’re getting closer to Dragon*Con, and I’m getting more excited.  I just have to figure out what the heck to do about parking in Atlanta that weekend.  Do we take a cab from the hotel, or do we get up super early and find a nearby parking deck?

I guess I’d better to get to bed.  I apologize this blog has been sort of inactive, but I promise I’ve got memories ready to go now that I’m thinking about my school years.  Have a great night!
