The 300th day of the year

Wow, only 65 days left in the year. I’m sure this all conjures up different thoughts for all of us but for me, I’m freakin out with all the work I have to do! You can take off another 10 days for Christmas week and New Years meaning I only have about about 55 days if I’m lucky, super.

Now to yesterday, man I was tired. I awoke at 4am thinking my flight was around 7:40 when in fact it was 8:40. That mistake along with no line at security put me at the airport way too early. I landed in Seattle around 10:15 and was to the office by 11. It was a good and bad day. Good in the sense that we just hired this younger guy (young 40’s) with a ton of relationships and industry knowledge who is going to be a huge help in taking us to the next level. Bad in that we had to let our guy in Colorado go. I hired him in March and feel really bad but he just didn’t grow into the managerial side of the job. It’s sad to let anyone go but when you bring a guy on, (had him quit his current job) and then have to cut him right before the holidays, it’s just not a good feeling. Monday I’ll begin to do what I can to make sure he’s taken care of. For the Company (which has to be my priority) it was the right thing to do.

I jumped on an Alaska Airlines flight home at 5:55 as United didn’t have a flight leaving that late. Luckily I was in first class. Now I haven’t been on another airline than United for a long time and let me tell you, this was really nice. Not only was it a new 737-900, the flight attendants were super nice with a sense of humor. The best thing was that for a mere $9.95 I could get on the internet with my laptop! This blows the “you can’t use your cell phone theory” all the airline impose. It was really an enjoyable flight that was over in no time. I made it home by 10:15 and was really tired.

The boys and Mom went to Treat Street at the high school (free candy) last night with a thousand of their closest friends because the kids for some reason probably won’t get enough candy on Halloween. The misses made the youngest an Angry Bird costume that is adorable.

Also I had to laugh as Aunt B commented after reading yesterdays post.

“Ok enough with the “love fest” already! HA, You’re both gorgeous:)

She was referring to me saying how gorgeous the misses was but now since she mentioned me, you will see this comment at the start of every post for the rest of the year. hell, she might even win some, I don’t know,  Major Award, for the best post of the year!

We all slept in until after 7 this morning. I need to get moving, I don’t know for what but just need to get moving. I invited Grandma over for dinner tomorrow night, we hope she comes! We owe the oldest guy some money so I need to go to the bank this morning and get him his cash. I think he’s going to buy himself an e-reader (on of those electronic books) which is great as then he’ll be reading even more.

November 1st is right around the corner, Thanksgiving and then Christmas before you know it. Tomorrow the whole family is going to the Broncos football game, we’re all excited to see Tim Tebow play!

Have a good weekend and take care, hope all’s well. God Bless
