Disappear with a trace

So I have been a little out of time and energy for blog city these days. But today is a semi casual day that will allow me to take some time to spit out some of the thoughts i've had the last few months.

I no longer work in the cd store, they ended up closing the doors, guess you have to have a passion for your work and not always hope it's a money maker or else your business will fail...this is what happened to my boss...therefore, after 14 years, I am sad to say I no longer work in the music retail field.

I have moved on to be the assitant manager of a used and new video game store in West Valley. It's called Play-n-Trade. It's a blast...if your family has video game systems or even if they don't come see me and I will get you hooked up with the games of your choice without having to pay full "new" retail value.

My mom is done with radiation. She completed it with just a few complications. Because the radiation had to be shot through her throat it damaged her vocal cords, but all in all she's doing really well. Again! YEAH! May 10th is the Susan G Koman Race for the Cure here in SLC. We are planning to walk in it in recognition of my Mom, my Aunt, Patrice's Aunt and grandma. I am looking forward to it.

Softball started this past thursday. I am a little bitter about the fact that some of my old players opted to move on and start their own team...but we should have a good team. Patrice is really struggling with her knees right now, so she's hung up her softball shoes and I am now pitching on her behalf. That isn't my first choice of position, but I am proud to say that I had a few strike outs, I threw a runner out at first on a grounder, and I caught a fly ball too. Had we had a full team this week (we were short 2 for half the game) we would have won. But instead we lost by 1. If anyone is interested in coming out to watch...fans are always wanted and needed! :)

Last friday Patrice and I volunteered with Becky, Max, and Steph at the Gay Bingo. We helped raise money for our GLPU group. It was a lot of fun, and I forgot how good it feels to volunteer my time and energy for someone else.

Patrice and I have been talking to a general contractor about remodeling and adding onto her house to make it bigger and better. If all goes well, we'll keep my house to rent out once it's done, and finally after 2 years...live together. Talk about wanting to finally have that aspect of structure and consistency. I am looking forward to that!

I know it's not much...But since it's been awhile I wanted to say hi...and let you know I am alive and well.

I am going to go check on the rest of you...hope to find things all good!
