Monday

All good things must come to an end, but this is an exciting day to culminate the weekend fun and get back to business. Now we have to take our collective noses and stick them back onto that grindstone known as life and get back to doing what it is that we do for a living to make this a better rock to live on.

So what is going on this upcoming week? Michelle has a Doctors appointment tomorrow afternoon, so she will be home from work a little bit early. Her doctor is away on Maternity leave, so she is seeing someone else from their office this week. 

Me, I'll be plugging away at work one again this week on the same project, it should be getting close to being completed where we can send it to the client, we have been going at it for a month on this one as it was a big one. 

Other than that this week is just the same stuff different week. I know I don't live the most exciting of lives anymore, and it seems like I am always getting sick. Good thing I work at home. 

Have a great day

Sunday

Here Kiwi and I sit once again in a quiet household, he's being quiet this morning so I don't know if he is still recovering from a night of partying last night. He was hitting the birdnip a little hard last night doing his song and dance routine. He asked me this morning if I know anyone who does at home pedicures, he wants his nails painted. I swear that bird is a unique one with some of his ideas. 

Me, I have been under the weather for a few days now. I can always tell when it is getting close for the time to get my flu shot (we usually get them the first week in October) as I have been feeling it the past few days. 

I don't have the heart to tell Kiwi that Michelle and I are having Wings today for dinner. It's the start of the NFL Football season and Michelle said she would like to do wings, so we are going to do wings today. Don't worry Kiwi, we want chicken wings, not conure wings, and no that is not your 3rd cousin twice removed that we are planning on eating today.

Have yourselves a great day.  

Saturday Morning Ramblings

Here me and my buddy Kiwi and I sit in a semi-quiet household, he's in his cage singing and working on his vocals. He's in there singing scales and tells me he want's to win a Grammy next year and he's working hard. He's got an album coming out called Kiwi sings the Bee Gee's, but I'm not sure if Barry Gibb has signed off on it yet, you know they whole copyright thing and all. 

The Mountaineers do play this evening, not as big as a game as last week, but an important one no doubt. They will be taking on the University of Albany tomorrow evening. Game time starts at 6:00 and this is the one game of the year where it's a tune up game. Where we play a lower level opponent and try to get some playing time in for some of the younger players. Traffic will be heavy, but not as heavy as it was last week so keep that in mind, especially this afternoon. 

What's on our agenda? Not sure other than the traditional shopping that Michelle does on Saturday Morning. Grass really isn't that long so I may wait for another day to cut it. You never know though, I may change my mind. 

Other than that no real plans for today or tomorrow as of yet. 

Have yourselves a great day. 

Big Ole Hairy Friday

Yes, it is once again that time of the week that we all look forward to when we can take time to cease the labors for the week and take a little bit of needed time out to enjoy the fruits of those labors. It is again the dawn of another weekend and a Big Ole Hairy Friday.

You looking for a little bit of High School Football? Undefeated Morgantown is at home against Bridgeport. University is on the road against Parkersburg South for their first game of the year. Undefeated Clay Battelle is at home against Madonna. Good luck to all local teams who are in action this weekend. 

No scheduled plans for the weekend, it's another home game here in Morgantown with the Mountaineers as the Albany Great Danes visit Morgantown. I don't think this weeks game will quite live up to the hype of last weeks, but that was big. 

Have yourselves a great day.

Photo Flashback Thursday

Once a week I like to take a little bit of time out, time to look at some of the 30,000+ photos that I have stored on my computer. Little lost moments in time that I either captured with a lens, scanned or just stole from someplace on the internet. I like to find just one and post it up and recall or relive the picture to the best of my ability. Sometimes this is a pretty easy task and sometimes it's not that easy, one thing it has always been a lot of fun.

This weeks pic goes back to Morgantown last weekend on Friday, when schools were closed and people were lining up to get in since 3:00 AM to see the Pat MacAfee show. It really was a magical day, an alumnus has become the most popular broadcaster in sports broadcasting and he loves his alma mater. 

Have yourselves a great day.

Labor Day

Take an extra day off and extend that weekend one day. Unless you are like me and are greedy and plan on working today, then it's just another day.

Michelle is off today but like I said I'm working. I figure I work from home and I wouldn't really be doing anything other than what I do at work, so I might as well go make that money. The life of a contractor, it pays well be you don't get the perks like paid days off. 

Like I said I'm working, but I have no idea what Michelle's plans are for the day. If you are off today, enjoy your time off.

Hi ho hi ho

Sunday

Here I sit on a quiet Sunday Morning, Kiwi is in his cage going over game film to try and figure out what went wrong yesterday. He said he had laid down the perfect game plan, but it didn't turn out favorably. The sun does come up today though, so live another day.

So with the sun coming up today, what is on our agenda? Grocery shopping obviously. Michelle will see if she can maneuver through a sea of leftover cars and make it to Krogers as I do the house chores. JUst out typical Sunday.

I did get a message from Daniel yesterday, he's doing well and tells everyone hello. He has been taking classes and has been busy between school, studying and playing Basketball. 

Tomorrow is Labor Day, Michelle is off but I am planning on working. Most of you working stiffs can enjoy a three day weekend, I'll be working. 

Have a great day.
