I'm Home

Well, I arrived in Michigan sometime around 11 PM last night after a couple of flights. I stayed up a few hours hanging out with my parents at brother Ryan. I surfed a while on my Dad's new wireless network he had setup, a nice change from the good old dial-up PeoplePC service I can afford. Today I woke up around a lot later than I normally do on Wednesday, and it was a beautiful thing. Then my Mom had the day off, Ryan was around, so we decided to go to South Bend to take of some last minute shopping for Christmas. We went to the Harley-Davidson dealer there to pick up something for Dad. Then it was on to a few stores and the mall.

After that on the way home, we got a call from my cousin Tanya, she was asking Ryan about a drum set for her son Isaiah and was on her way to Woodwind & Brasswind to pick one up. We met her there as she was deciding between two different sets. For being just shy of three, the kid can really keep a beat, apparently everything in his hands becomes a percussion instrument, and he was jamming a way at all the floor sets while we were there. Strolling through the store brings back a lot of good memories growing up. I remember Dad use to take us like every other Saturday to browse. Ryan bought his drums there, my bass guitar and saxaphone. Just for kicks I decided to stroll through the bass room. Something really nice caught my eye while I was in there, they had a G&L ASAT Bass in silver metal flake, it's absolutely beautiful. Sure it's a little flashy, but what girl wouldn't like a bass like that, with the sound of a G&L! So anyway, I think I have a new savings goal, who knows how long it will take to save for this, it retail's at around $1,850 but I could pick it up for around $1,000. Oh well, just another thing to add to my current savings goal list! I really would like to play more often before I purchase another axe, I am not really interested in playing at all professionally (that's probably not going to happen), but just more often for the sheer fun of it! So that's whats been rolling around in my head today.
Anybody want to start a band, or need a bass player???

Other than that it's just been so nice to get away from work! I watched The Day After Tomorrow as well as In Good Company. Two movies I've been watning to see for a little while, the first one only because of Jake Gyllenhall (I hope that's the right spelling), what a cute face. Oh and I've always like the movies Dennis Quaid has been in too, and he was in both of these as well! Right now it's just me up watching the movies and my dog curled up by the fire, it couldn't have been a better day!

Tomorrow night should be a blast as well, I will be meeting up with a group of friends with whom I grew up! We are heading to Hacienda to have dinner together and maybe end up at my parents house to hang out afterward. It will be so nice to see everyone again! Okay, well my battery is draining as I type so I will sign off for now. It's just great to be back home! Have a good evening!
