An Untitled Mess

So my dad's parents have been in town since Friday.  I've been working pretty much non-stop since they got in and tonight I did not have to work.  So we went out for dinner together.  We went down to the waterfront to the place formerly known as Captain Bill's .  It's called Southern Salt now.  To be honest, the food was pretty good, the service not so much.  Maybe our waitress was new, or maybe it was a bad night in the kitchen, but our food took so long to get to us that the manager even asked us what was up.  When the order came, it was missing side items and was not very hot.  What was hot was the bar tender.  And she had on these jean shorts...oh my.  Anyways, got a few shots off the deck before the sun fully set.  I was disappointed that the sun actually set behind a bunch of buildings and not behind the island like I hoped it would. Besides the short comings of Southern Salt, we had a pretty good evening.  We lau...

Happy Easter!  I hope everyone was able to spend some good family time together today.  It's nice to have a break from school or work and enjoy the ones we love the most.  But lets not forget the meaning of Easter, that Jesus Christ rose from the dead, allowing us to be free and forgiven of the judgment that we have rightfully earned.  What a great gift, better than any peanut butter filled chocolate egg out there (and that's hard to beat because those things are the best). I was able to go to church this morning with the family but went straight from there to work until about 8:30 this evening.  I actually had a good time tonight and I'm thankful that I work with a good group of people with good attitudes.  They are a different kind of family, and though they are no substitute for the real deal, it was kind of nice being with them today.  The only down side was that I missed Cory's phone call twice.  I hope he realized that I was working and he...

I had a rare Monday off today. Woke up this morning and my eye was swollen.  Not shut but it still looked like someone punched me. Not sure what it is but I think something is in there. I opted to buy some eye drops instead of going to the doctor. I will know in the morning if that was a good idea or not. Seems to be doing better. Went into town this morning to a meeting then came home and tooled around some. As nerdy as it sounds, I partitioned a hard drive. Yeah fun. The absolute highlight of my day was a phone call from Cory, one of my best friends. I almost did not answer because I didn't recognize the number. I'm so glad I answered though. I have not heard his voice in about eight years. We only got to talk for fifteen minutes but it was awesome to chat with him and hear that he is doing well. The baby chicks in the incubator are hatching. So far we have three. I met mom and dad at the new Zaxbys in Morehead City. I think it was opening day for them. It was my first time ...
