But officer!!!

“I thought THAT WAS the speed limit! If you let me off with a warning I promise to pay better attention to the signs, AND I always donate to the Policeman’s Ball!”





You know, If I hadn’t seen mine and Sheila’s head’s on CHA CHA dancer’s, I may not of posted this…NAAAAH, I would have still posed it.

I even turned around to get a better shot! Oh yeah, on our third pass Jason has a “Sheila mask” on but my camera doesn’t do well at 45mph…which by the way, IS THE SPEED LIMIT!

When serving others gets tough!

Wow, a few moths back Discovery Church helped out a group by setting up all of our sound, stage, curtains and chairs for a gospel sing they were doing to raise scholarship money. It was great, we had a few problems like feedback and stuff but it was a great evening.

Well I couldn’t stop helping with just that so I offered to edit the videos that we shot with 2 cameras and put them on DVD…then came the problems. First off my camera didn’t record ANYTHING at all. Apparently the tape wasn’t rewound. Then their camera was a different type of tape and I can’t import it into my computer for editing. To top that, they gave me a VHS tape with an interview on it to edit into the DVD. I can get VHS into my computer either! Do you think I was getting frustrated? If you though: yes, then you are right. So the battle begins. I had to barrow 2 different cameras to get all of the video onto my computer. That bing done, it was time to edit 2 hours of film. FUN FUN FUN. So, I got that all done and feeling pretty good, almost done, so onto the DVD burning. Easy right? NO! After a whooping 11 hours of rendering the DVD will not burn! It is some type of formatting error. So my outflow attempt is getting tough to deal with. I thought I would be done today but NOOO. I will ruin one more DVD before I call a friend to help out.

So what made me think serving others would be fun and easy? I truly want to call them and bail out. But I was the one who offered to do it. They never asked me to do it. I knew (or at least thought) I could do it. So pray that my efforts will not lead to failure, pray that I don’t put an axe through my computer screen, and pray that I can get over myself and get this done without any more whining!

Been Sick

See, I really dont get sick that much. Or when I do, it;s really not that bad and I can still function. This time Sheila and I both got it bad. We are getting over it for the most part, just some stuborn flem wanting to hang around. Anywhay, I have been SOOOO out of it that I really dont think last week actualy happened. I dont remember much but I am sure that I forgot to do a few things that I promised you all that I would do...Sorry and remind me and I will get right on it. Anywhy, for the most part I am back on track.

BTW, I am exited, we are meeting with 2 different familys for diner this week. It will be great to hang with the people from church OTHER THAN JASON.

notice his grip on the wheel!



ok actualy it is a truck being towed...did I get ya? or did you notice the white line? Still, its a cool pic.

Yes, I am out here!

I know I havent blogged but my routine is way outta wack! So I finally got an internet connection and a few minutes. I have been going all over Florida with my 4 managers. We are compairing our stores and building ways to improve performance. It has been good and mostly fun, but it is work so not too much fun.

So the funniest thing I have seen on this visit is the picture below:

One good thing about being in N.C. is...everyone knows someone with a PICK-UP TRUCK!!! Heck, call me, I got one!

anyway, I just found this funny. Now I am going over to see if Davey blogged this week. Be back soon & miss you all.
