Today we are getting a bit of a summer storm: Clouds, light-heavy rain, hot muggy air. I love it!! At least as long as it doesn't get to muggy. The only thing I wish we would get is a thunderstorm. The local news has put out a lightning storm and flood watch out for the mountain and desert areas. I keep looking out the window and hoping the lightning will come our way.
I had a rough start to the weekend. I worked in Temecula on Saturday for what was supposed to be 4 hours. The lab I worked at was supposed to have 2 techs. The second tech never showed up to work. I ended up working almost 8 hours! It sucked to have to work alone but the patients that were there were very friendly and supportive of my efforts to get everyone taken care of quickly. That made a big difference for me emotionally. When I got home from work Heather came out of the house with a big glass of red wine for me and gave me a big hug to make me feel better...... and it did! :) I spent the rest of the day drinking wine and relaxing with my wife and dog.
Today, Sunday, I have been reading my friends most recent blogs and found a great link from Nikki. It was one about how to ignite your passions. Which is something I have been really trying to do. They list 9 things you can do to get your creative juices flowing. My favorite one is #9 start a blog. Actually that one helped pushe me to write a blog today. If you want to check it out click here. Also Nikki has a cool blog page called lovenunwin. So thanks to Nikki for inspiring me to write this blog today. :)
This past week I finished my hiking video of Hellhole Canyon. Please check it out! click on the link---> www.youtube.com/themisch2 This video took me a long time to create. One reason was that I was only able to work on it a few hours at a time during the week. I learned how to add music and effects. I learned how to insert and overwrite video and I learned how to tweak each section of video to go along with the beat of the music. That was really fun to learn! For the sound I couldn't add copyrighted material so I had to learn how to use Garageband to create music that I wanted to feature. After creating this video and another hiking video I want to do more hiking videos. I think for the next video I am going to add more information about the trail we are hiking. Also if I can get into writing blogs regularly again it will help my creativity.

New blog
Well once again it has been some time since my last blog. Last time I blogged I had just bought a new Tacoma truck and made a couple of videos. My truck is great! It's running as well as expected. I don't think I have made anymore videos since then. I have been working on a video of a hike Heather and I went on on Valentines day. We went to Hell Hole Canyon trail located in Borrego Springs, CA. It has taken me a long time to put the video together because I have been learning how to do more advanced editing. In the process of learning more about video editing I have learned how to use garage band. Learning how to use garage band is like having my own music studio in my bedroom.... so cool!
I am still working at Lab Corp. Heather got a job at a local retirement center as a server a few months ago. She is doing really well there. Both the residents and staff love her there. In just 4 weeks of starting her job she was promoted to hostess! I am so proud of her! When Heather first started her job she kept on telling me she did not want to be a hostess. She felt that they had too much to do, but once she was asked she was more then happy to do it. Today I learned they want her to work more hours at work now. So Heather will be answering phones every day after her lunch shift is over. This will giver her an extra 15 minutes of work a day. I am proud of you babe!!!!
Over the weekend Heather and I started looking for a place to rent. We have viewed a lot of homes over the past few days over the internet but have only gone to see one place in Oceanside. We found what sounded like a great deal. A 1 bedroom 1 bath beach cottage in Oceanside about 2 blocks from the beach. Well on Saturday we took a look at it. ......... it turned out to be not so great. The place was slowly deteriorating. The moulding around the doors were coming off and the walls looked as though no one ever cleaned it in about 20 years. Then we found out that the owner is selling the place as a short sale and it was in the middle of selling it to a new buyer. That would of put us in a weird spot having not knowing who to pay rent to. So we nixed that home and are still looking. We are planning on looking at a few places this Saturday.
Also this weekend I was able to catch up on my youtube subscriptions and read several blogs from friends and myself. Which has inspired me to write another blog. Today I harvested our first cucumber crop.... so excited!!! I also harvested a few banana peppers.
Well that is all I have for today
