Gina is in the Philippines, so I haven’t been sleeping too well. Several reasons why.

1. With no curfew, I find myself staying up later than usual.

2. The dogs go nuts with every little noise and usually wake me up in the middle of the night.

3. Cuz I miss her. (I just heard someone say ‘awwww’)

I have neglected my blogging.

I should have drank another red bull and headed down to this networking party that Jeremy is at tonight. But I have to save my strength for the networking party on Saturday. I hope I don’t miss anything too cool at the party tonight, but I definitely need to get some sleep tonight.

I had a maintenance window last night that had me up late and tomorrow morning at 8am I have a conference call with some folks in UK or somewhere in Europe. Good times, good times.

Well, I wanted to do a little update before going and passing out.

I set my alarm for 0140, giving me time to crawl out of bed and over to the computer with plenty of time to spare.

Low and behold,  Jeremy messages me.

He is still awake.

Course he is on vacation, therefore he can stay up at long as he wants.

Ok, the maintenance is about to start.

And grateful it is Friday.

I have a number of home projects that need to get squared away this weekend to ensure a relaxing vacation, so this weekend will be action packed.

The trip back from Dallas was fun. Jeremy and I had a chance to catch-up with a buddy who lives in Dallas. It was good conversation and pretty decent food (we went to Bone Daddy’s).

On the way back we listened to the music on Jeremy’s iPod  (we listened to some of mine on the way up). Oddly enough most of the music we listened to I also have.

We finished off the trip listening to different tracks off of Billy Joel’s greatest hits albums. I always enjoy a good singalong with the Piano Man.

Back to grind.

Laterz.

Jeremy and I are packing up and heading to Dallas tonight. (like probably right after I am done with this post)

We will be up there for meetings all day tomorrow, then driving back that night.

Not sure if posted an update about his car, if he hasn’t then I will scoop him here.

They believe it is a sensor in his transmission, so between the part, labor and changing the transmission fluid he will be out about another $300 bucks.

The mechanics believe that is all the work that is needed to fix his car.

Well I best shut it down and get the laptop in the bag so we can motor.
