Long time coming

Well, for the past 40 days I have done my best to give up pop and swearing for Lent. The swearing part didn't go as well as planned, and that kind of surprises me. I don't like to swear and I think I do a pretty good job of using replacement words but for this specific season, I'd give myself a D- for my poor performance.
The pop side of the effort was a lot better. It killed me to not ask for a Mountain Dew while I was on the road. Its so much easier to have a pop while at McDonald's or out at a restaurant. It seemed like the immediate substitute at the restaurants was beer. Not the greatest substitute but still, it wasn't pop. There was the occasional request for only water, or perhaps some form of juice or lemonade, but I can honestly say that I did a pretty good job of giving up pop. Needless to say, tomorrow I'm going to have at least 3 mountain dews if I can. :-)
Work is picking up. I got back from a trip with two big sites and the big project of the year has to be completed by June 20th. This was an interesting thing to try and work out with my co-workers seeing as how I will be gone for 2 weeks in May. The good news is that we got it figured out and there shouldn't be any big problems.
Wedding planning marches on. This is our big weekend to finalize any plans we need to dust off and get down on paper. I'm off to get our marriage license paperwork filed with Kelsey! I think she'll actually have to write her name as "Kelsey Trauscht!!!" HAHAHA!! This is going to be fun!

Gotta run! Happy Easter Everyone!


HO K PEACE OUT!
