Time is short.......

Not much time this week for LJ-ing.

Last night, I conked out early and got some much-needed sleep. (And M slept through the whole night! yay!)

Tonight, I sorted out some bills for this year. I like to hang on to the credit card and utility statements I get. It's part of my financial diary and history. (More about this in a later LJ entry.) I found some bills for last month that I opened and forgot to pay.
Usually, I'm good about pulling out the envelope and stub, and setting it aside the same day I get the bill. Last month, I fell down on the job. 4 bills got misplaced and missed -- my electric bill (app. $2 late fee), my cable TV bill ($5 late fee), my gasoline credit card ($29 late fee -- ouch!), and my long distance telephone bill. So this month I'm paying them double. so I can get caught up and (hopefully) get back in good standing with the creditors.

I need to sit down one evening and re-plan my budget.....and not get online until it's done!

This weekend is the second New Warrior Training Adventure to be held in Ohio. (I went through my Weekend in Indiana in October 1997 -- nearly 6 years ago.) I'd be staffing it if not for family commitments -- my wife needs to have me home because we have no family in the area or babysitters to act as her backup or relief.

woulda, coulda, shoulda

If I remember correctly you have not staffed yet, right?

I just finished my third staffing, an Indy guy Led the weekend, he was totally awesome.

I just got married a few weeks ago, but committed to staff before I decided to wed.

Staffing is truly a wonderful, powerful, experience. I will be taking a break from it for awhile. I also just finished co-facilitating an 8 week Igroup, this was a first for me.

my wife is 8 mos prego with our baby boy.
