Change is in July

I seem to have a running theme of busy, busy, busy and where did the time go? I can't believe that July is almost over and our summer party is two days away. As I look back at the July calender, a few things stick out as noteworthy.

We have spent alot of time at my parents lake this month. In the sun. I have gotten more sun in the last 30 days than the whole last 3 years. Good things I currently believe in good sunblock, or sun tan lotion if you grew up in my parents household. Matt always makes fun of me for that. lol

I got a new tattoo.

I started volunteering at Crash's Landing, which is a local no-kill cat shelter. Since we are not getting a new cat to replace Murdock, I decided that a good way to feel good about myself and to help out other cats would be volunteer. So every Wednesday night after work I go and hang out with 100+ cats; cleaning litter boxes, doing laundry and feeding cats.

Neil had called and Neil, Dan and I went out to a new-to-us open mic at Holiday Bar. It was a much different atmosphere from when we used to go to Billy's. It was alot of fun. There was a band that was hosting called Valentiger and they were quite good. In fact one of there songs (I think) is featured in a new Chevy commercial. And speaking of open mics, I found a musician who is still learning guitar that doesn't sing and wants a partner to go to open mics with. So we are working on learning some covers and on some originals that he has written.

We got new blinds in the basement and Matt and Travis had painting the outside trim today. The off-white needs another coat, but hopefully Matt will get to that before the party. I think that is about all the updating we have done other than some de-cluttering.
