Family is gone for a week...

Dropped the wife and kids off at the airport this morning. I'm all alone...so, what did I do? Went to the fish store and bought some live plants, and started building a closet downstairs. Conveneintly right under the aquarium, on account of it moves a little when kids jump around...must be a might heavy. I was told it was a 56 gallon, turns out the store screwed up, it's a 65 gallon...not that much difference in weight, but still, heavy is heavy, any way you look at it.

This week, hopefully finish the honey-do list quickly and have the rest of the week to screw off.

Oh man a week at home alone! What to do?

Have you re-enacted the "Old Time Rock N Roll" scene from Risky Business yet? That's gotta be first on the list.

I always find time when I'm alone to crank up the guitar, crank up the stereo...just generally make a lot of noise.

Then make sure to sleep diagonally in the bed :)

I bought a full pallet of tissues.

Last night I just drank beer and played with power tools...started building a closet in the basement, directly under the aquarium, partly for extra support and partly cuz we needed one anyway. The location of the aquarium just helped us solve the dillema of where to put it.

Hey, dB-Wan. That could be your new martial art discipline: Makita.

"Don't mess with me, man. I'm a blue belt in Makita!"

Anyone attacks you, you just pin them to the nearest wall with a handful of dry-wall screws.

Home alone, yep the volume goes up to 11 for sure. Switch from beer to Brandy.

And I just plain get to sleep in the bed.

So, I arrive at the airport after 2AM this morning to pick up the family...my kids come running up and hug me and say hi and my oldest (8 years old) steps back and the first thing she says is "did you get any new fish in the aquarium?".

Maybe it's just cuz it was 2AM, but I found that kinda funny if that was really her first thought when she saw me.
