i read somewhere a while back that one way to assist in getting a good nights sleep is to journal your days thoughts before going to bed. i guess it’s good to get those things off your chest before you attempt sleep, hopefully thwarting your mind racing through thoughts.

so, here goes… with a gratuitous random image at the end:

• i really like the panera on airport highway. it just opened a month ago, and everything is nice and new. free coffee refills, free wifi, and a bench off in the corner by the fireplace that will one day have my name on it. just have to always remember to bring my earbuds, because their music is awful.
• got a lot done on an intro video i’m working on for pete thomas‘ speaking engagements. i wonder if anyone thought it was weird to see a guy sitting in panera watching old episodes of the biggest loser?
• clothes shopping, something i usually hate with the fire of a thousand suns…. wasn’t so bad tonight. i’ve gone down in pant size, from a 52 to a 46, and down two whole shirt sizes. was much easier to find clothes than it has been in the past.
• i’m sad to say that ryanne and i went to a chinese buffet for dinner. all i had to eat prior in the day was a salad, so i probably didn’t do too bad overall for the day. nevertheless, i told ryanne to not let us go to chinese buffet’s anymore… they’re just not worth it (unless it’s the one in perrysburg with really good sushi).
• work is getting really stressful. there’s a lot going on, an awful lot!
• my friend, probably still best friend, even though we have grown apart somewhat since i got married and he moved away first to florida, then to las vegas, is coming home this weekend. i am so pumped, i don’t even know where to begin.
• msnbc is reporting that obama is now winning in total overall delegates. obama won 13 states on super-tuesday compared to 8 for hillary, and new mexico is still counting (i think). beautiful.
• looking forward to next weekend. nearly one hundred people will be getting baptized at cedarcreek’s new community service.
• then, the extreme home makeover episode on abc featuring patrick henry hughes premiers at 8pm. be sure to tune in! he’s coming back to cedarcreek in may!
• going out on a limb, placed a “help wanted” ad in cedarcreek’s weekly bulletin to try and find some help to work on our website. this has never gone well in the past, ever… so i don’t know what to expect, which is why i am not expecting much. you’d think in a church of 7,000, there would be someone with some web-skillz who is dependable, willing, and has a few hours a week to donate.
• feeling much better, but still can’t talk very well. it amuses me to listen to myself. i sound silly.
• i found myself amazed today at how much someone can get done in a day without ever speaking a word. my team at cedarcreek knows i’m sick, so they have been communicating with me via email, im and text, and the same has been true with friends and my freelance clients. it’s pretty cool. but my fingers are tired
• a fifth underwater internet line in the middle-east has been cut. it has gone beyond coincidence now… you read it here, something is about to happen. i do hope i’m wrong, but i don’t think i am.
• jason, over at theworstblogger.com is posting some pretty good content, especially for being so young in his “blog-life.” if you haven’t visited yet, you really should.
