Well finally, after all these years I’m off to Las Vegas for a little fun time. Thanks to TravelZoo we found an amazing deal at the MGM Grand and have booked our reservation. We’ll Fly WestJet and save some cash on the airfare component. We thought about Las Vegas Vacation Packages and Deals that we could get thanks to the fact that Travelocity’s Low Fare Alert searches thousands of flights for fares that can save you 20%* or more on your trip. Then we thought about Last minute Vegas values at Expedia.com! We decided the deal was too good to pass up at $79 a night for the room!! So we’ll hit Amazon.ca for some good reading…yeah right! We’ve already hit Apple Store Canada
numerous times and will have the iPhones charged up and probably even an iPod too. Who knows, next time we might have to hit Beaches Family Resorts
if Grandma and Grandpa aren’t available to babysit again.

OK, I know I still owe a lot of writing to this blog, and to it’s readers, so here we go. I’ve been busy. Well, actually I haven’t. I’ve been slacking a lot at work, and at home, and at my own business. I need to get that drive and passion back. I want to sit back, relax and enjoy life, but realize I need to invest some time into it first.I guess it’s really the time investment that I should look at, and how I divide my time. I’d like to say “there’s not enough time left in the day” but in all reality, I often have too much, and get bored and don’t want to do things.

I have an ever expanding list of things to do, which include some of the following:

• NECCS website — follow-up on the proposal, and hopefully complete the contract.
• NECCS marketing proposal — we’ve got some ideas, now we just need to put them on paper.
• WOLF website — contact the owners to get final payment, or take down the website; a task I never like doing.
• Blue Rock Landscaping website — we’ve got some mocks sent to them, now we just need their approval, then we get to build the site.
• Happy in Rush-Hour cover, website, marketing & more — yes, we have to get that done for Leanne so that she can launch her book and sell it to the world.
• **** website & concept — I can’t divulge the information of the project, but I can definitely make some money at it, and I’ve had the idea for a bunch of years. Time to just do it!
• Louisbonline.com website — I need to get in contact again with Louis B and get together so that we can get the movie & theatre review site going.
• Idoloutlook.com website — some general maintenance, tweaks & enhancements. Think I still owe Lite 96 a banner for the logo as well.
• U of C Women’s Dinos Hockey website – get it done already!
• And more… – I know that I’ve got more, and I’m forgetting a bunch of them. This always happens to me without my task board. Time to make an online one.

So, as you can see I have a number of projects on the go. On top of that I want to have a life, spend some time with my dogs, my girlfriend that I love, my brother and my friends — of course, not necessarily in the order that they appear. I’ve already got 33+ hours banked at work. I figure once I hit the 160 mark (which at this rate won’t take too long), then I’ll be able to take a full month off with pay, and add my vacation time of a couple of weeks to that, and I’m set for a six week vacation somewhere — like Australia for WARR I hope. That’s my plan, now to make it actually happen. Of course the more business that I can get coming in for SPRY Design Group, the better life will be. My brother wants to run with it full-time this summer, and I’m sure that if it goes good enough (which we all know it can), then I’d be willing to bet he’d continue at it, and forgo another volleyball season at SAIT…though I know he loves it. Guess that’s something we need to discuss, and probably will happen with the business chat this evening. We tend to do that on Wednesday evenings. (WC: 586)

So it’s been a few days since I wrote. I knew it would happen. I thought about trying to find a computer this weekend while up in Lake Louise at The Fairmont, but decided against it. I decided to actually take time out and relax. Apparently, I also forgot to post on Friday, so according to my calculations I owe you 360 words for four days resulting in 1440 words posted today. Holy smokes that’s a lot of writing to do!

I guess it’s a good thing to write though, since I’m working on my new ergonomic keyboard it will give me a chance to get used to it a little bit more. I think what I’ll do is split the posts up a little bit more and perhaps carry one of those days forward so that you don’t have to read it all at once — you know, one long pointless thought.

The weekend was spent skiing and relaxing in Lake Louise. For not having skied in about 5 years, I was actually somewhat impressed with myself that I didn’t completely bail and have my skis end up at the bottom of the hill without me. First run down the hill resulted in an almost wipe out, but I didn’t actually fall. “Great! That means I’m going to get progressively worse throughout the day” I thought to myself. Of course, being that the mind is so powerful, I instantly believed it, and as you can guess got a little worse each run down.

There were briefs period of brilliance and skill, but there were a lot of me as a beginner, and it showed. I figured that the easiest way to get up from falling was to simply not fall. Of course that didn’t always work so well. Oh well, no harm done in falling I guess.

It’s not such a great thing to have writers block, especially when I have to write so many words today, but it feels like that’s what I have. I guess it’s all the other work that’s building up that I’m thinking about. I’ll continue to write throughout today and get to that magical 1440…or you could just stand up and spin around 4 times and that would be the 1440 degrees that I would owe you!? Of course, now I’m just rambling on (though it was a great song).
