Spring is in the air. Some rain showers have been moving through the area lately, the birds seem to be singing a little louder, and the greenery is coming back.<\/p>\n
My life has been — guess! — really, really hectic lately. I went to battle with my auto insurance company and the collision center over my car a couple of weeks ago. I even called Ford who sicced their collision people on them. At that point it had been three weeks and I hadn\u2019t heard anything about the car. Was it going to be totaled? Were they going to fix it? There\u2019s no way it should take three weeks to decide that. So, I got irritated and started making the nasty phone calls. The end result: Two days after I started making a stink, I hear from the insurance company that they\u2019re gonna fix the car. I called the dealership and the collision center tells me \u201cone week to get the parts in, three weeks to rebuild the car.\u201d So, I\u2019m still stuck with the rental car (PT Cruiser) until then, although I\u2019m thinking of taking it back Monday for a smaller, cheaper car now that the rental car is coming out of my own pocket. I should get the Mustang back around the end of the month.<\/p>\n
Shauna\u2019s niece, Misti, and her family came down from Atlanta last week and stayed with us for a few days. It was nice to see the kids. They used our apartment as a base of operations and went out every day to Orlando, etc. to have fun.<\/p>\n
I\u00a0got a\u00a0\u201ccreatively acquired\u201d copy of 300<\/a> on DVD. Wow. I hope to see Grindhouse<\/a> this weekend of next.<\/p>\n This is the first day I\u2019ve had off for two weeks. There\u2019s been a massive project at work that has involved me working nearly 80-hour weeks. Thankfully, I hired an assistant and he\u2019s doing the last little bit of work for me this weekend so I can chill out and not resort to bringing in a shotgun to the office Monday.<\/p>\n There\u2019s been very little progress on my behalf on the project, but that will turn around this weekend. This morning I\u2019m going to catch up on paying bills, and then I\u2019m getting together with Jeff for the day to discuss ideas and work on building more sets.<\/p>\n Sick Thought of the Day: Rip the retina.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Spring is in the air.
