Since You've Been Gone

Yes, I know I have disappeared from my little space on the interwebs for almost a week. Well, I apologize. Yes, I am alive, no I have not quit blogging or left on any kind of fun trip. No, I have been well, working.

I left last week for McAllen, Texas for work. Yeah, so close to the beach, yet so far... I was inspecting roofs and mediating cases. This was my first inspection opp so I was kinda excited to participate and see what our client looks for/at when inspecting on behalf of the insurance company. I will tell you, what people keep in their houses and attics though, crazy. But, if I had to sum up my trip in one word it would be nachos. Yeah, nachos. Friday dinner my boss and I went to this lil Mexican food joint recommended by his lady friend and well we ordered fajitas and an appetizer and ended up with what appeared to be two giant plates of nachos. Needless to say, the running joke is now everything comes with a side or on a bed of nachos.

I returned home late Friday and was exhausted. Quick hangout with le guy and then bed for me. I was up bright and early Saturday for a trek to Dallas for training for my perhaps new business undertaking. Has anyone heard of J. Hilburn Men's Clothier? Well, I attended training and am trying to decide if I can undertake this and still have time for ya know, life. I would recount my Saturday night, but honestly I am asking for mulligan on it and moving on.

Sunday was church, work, lil yard work, family showing up at my door and my mom bringing over some of my old trophies and  some gems of old family photos... like this....

And then it was Monday and I was back at work and barely had time to look up and breathe, which actually, is a good thing! Busy days make for fast days and fast days lead to the weekend just showing up on your doorstep. Which leads me to a revelation I had last night at dinner with my girlfriends.... Thanksgiving is next week... yes next week people. WHERE DID THE TIME GO? It's like we rang in 2013 and BAM! Its the Holidays (which BTW, do not put up  your Christmas tree, lights, décor people, its not December, can we please celebrate that lovely food holiday that comes before December 25th? Please and thank you.) Rant over.

And with that, I give you my life since I've been gone....

and how can you not miss this face?
