The Finish Line

What’s on the iPod: Summertime by Kenny Chesney

Got a great deal done yesterday despite a slightly interrupted day. I managed an interview, a resume, an article (800 words), and an oil change (paid for it this time – drat!). I wanted to do more, but I needed to pack. I’m going back home for the holiday and I was nowhere near ready.

I’m thrilled that today is the last day of Lent. That giving-up-complaining-for-Lent notion nearly killed me. Okay, I exaggerate. It wasn’t too tough, but it did deter me from speaking my mind a few times. Not entirely a bad thing, either. Trust me. Next week, watch out. She’s ba-ack….

I have one more week in which to finish some rather big projects and get my ducks in a row for Vancouver. We’re flying into Seattle and driving. It’s cheaper, and I hear it’s a stunning ride. Who wouldn’t try it?

Next week is getting my handouts and portfolios put together and deciding on a wardrobe. I don’t need to shop – I just need to maximize. If I don’t have to check a bag, amen. If that means wearing three outfits on the plane, just watch me do it.

So I’m driving west with nothing but my iPod and my thoughts to entertain me. If you’re Christian, have a wonderful, blessed holiday. If you’re not, have a beautiful spring weekend.

Meantime, here’s one of my favorite bands: We Were Promised Jetpacks

If they don’t do it for you, try The Airborne Toxic Event

See you Monday.
