Just finished reading another book

Took the day off from work today. Last month i requested it off expecting a late night last night. Petra,http://classicpetra.com/ my favorite christian band from the 80s was supposed to play in SA last night but the concert was cancelled due to poor ticket sales. I heard the rest of the tour was cancelled for the same reason. I guess they're not as hot as they were 25 plus years ago. Mary, Tony and luis were supposed to come in for this too. i especially wanted Luis to experience it, he was very disappointed.but at least i know what to get him for Christmas. The live tour DVD--not as good as seeing it live but it'll have to do. i decided to take the day off anyways.i needed some 'me' time.

Finally finished reading Michael Connelly's The Lincoln Lawyer.

I thought it was pretty good. Wanted to read the book before watching the movie because they usually differ so much and i like to see if what i pictured in my mind while reading it translated to what's on film. usually it doesn't. i have to admit that the end was a twist i did not see coming. I could have sworn Louis killed Levin, but it turned out to be Mary, his mom. talk about 'wow.' but i bet Louis knew that all along because he know Mikey's gun was stolen (which was the murder weapon). I guess i'll go out and get the movie this weekend, i think it will make a great addition to my movie/book collection.

Today is Veteran's Day and as usual there are alot of observancsgoing on. Wanted to go to the one at Wonderland of the Americas tonight, but i think it's gonna be outdoors..so..no....it would of made a great article idea for the examiner. http://examiner.com/

I've been really busy with my articles and stuff, i need to do at least 2 a week, that's why most of my postings have been articles, but i'm going to really try to update my blog more often. I've got tons of pictures to share, but i'm short on time.

Last weekend we went to Corpus to spend some time with the kids. Wednesday was Cyndi's birthday and we wanted to celebrate early. we got her a cake and we all went out to dinner at Texas Roadhouse. http://texasroadhouse.com/. Overall the experience was okay, but we waited way too long for a big table when it was obvious there was one available and they still made us wait, i don't know why.

This is Joel and I with Cyndi, the birthday girl. She turned 33 this week. It was good to spend time with them, so they can spend some time with their dad. It's all cool.

This Halloween i actually dressed up to hand out candy. I bought a flapper outfit but i didn't think it was complete without some kind of makeup so i got a little creative.

We had more trick or treaters than last year, so we really didn't have too much candy left. Even though we didn't go out, or to a party, i had fun playing make belive for at least one night a year.
