What a great way to wake up on a Sunday morning.

     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.
