Weekend Meetings

On Saturday I had two Young Republican meetings, one for the state and one for the county. Between getting ready, driving to and from, and attending the meetings, my Saturday was more-or-less shot.

I took my car to the shop this morning and they called to let me know that it IS the battery. The battery has "sulphated" which means it doesn't build-up a proper charge and its charge is slowly going down. Happily, it is still under warranty and so I can get it replaced free.

On other fronts, my older brother Will has moved to Lynnwood! I am so excited! It will be so nice to have him closer. He has lived 20-hours away (one-way) since I was around 14 years old, so visits were rare. He came to visit on Sunday afternoon and it was so good to see him again! It was extra exciting to think that we would get to see him more regularly.

I also managed to squeeze in some more work on organizing our DVD collection. Just a few more weekends and I should be all caught-up. Then all I will have to do is keep-up with any new DVDs that are burned each week. My Dad has been working on burning our VHS collection to DVD, so there will be new stuff to enter for several months to come.

Mom and Dad are going on a short vacation to Disneyland in CA this week. It is one of those free trips you get from listening to a presentation on purchasing time-shares or something like that (they did not buy anything). They have never been to Disneyland, so I'm sure they will have fun.

This week I will be staying with one of my co-worker's daughter while he is gone on a business trip. This is the same young lady that I stayed with before. We will continue cooking lessons as well as work on homework. Her latest grades showed some improvement, which is very encouraging.
