There’s No Place Like Home…
Got up yesterday at 4am, left the house at 4:30am, was at the airport 2 hours early for my 7am flight. (Not that anyone noticed…) Flew to Atlanta, picked up the rental car, met with the client, zipped back to the airport, got back on a plane at 3:50 and was back in Houston by 5:10pm. Whew. Got home a little after 6, poked around, read the mail (regular mail – not e-mail) and finally about 8-ish decided to turn on the computer. Watched (this shows you how tired I was) the J-Lo concert for a bit first. Why was this her first concert ever? Anyways… I chatted with Zalary for a bit and went to update my site – only to find my server was down. Mannn… But it was probably a good thing in the end, I was so tired I kept nodding off & falling asleep! So I laid down on the couch to watch Frasier at about 8:30 (on the Tivo) and I woke up at 5:30am! Oops! Guess I was more tired then I thought!
Our meeting went really well. They shocked us when we told them that if they would prefer, rather than paying for their development 50/50 (50% up front, 50% when it was finished) they could pay 25/25/25/25. They asked if it was ok if they paid 100% up front. They want the tax write-off. w00t! Sure, that works too! Now we just have to make some changes to the proposal and send it back to them so they can approve it!
I am going back to bed for now. Have to get back on a sort of normal sleep schedule, so I need another hour of sleep!

Got the Book!
Kymberlie & I went over to Costco at lunch to see if they had a copy of the first Harry Potter book – and they did! Yeah! Only $4 too, in paperback. (I don’t have a Costco card, so she had to buy it for me.) I wanted to read it tomorrow during the FOUR HOURS I have to spend at airports. Bah. I thought the first book was longer – Jason has the hardback version, but I wanted a paperback for the flight. It’s only about 300 pages. I made Kymberlie flip through it to make sure it was an unabridged version. I am really looking forward to reading it after hearing people say that the movie “just didn’t convey all the magic that is in the book”. After all that reading time I will have tomorrow I might just be done reading it by the time I get home!
While you can tell my site has been indexed by Google recently (looking at my eXTReMe Tracking stats), so far there are no naughty word hits – just things like “blah”, “blog”, “Michael Fraase spam” and “Michael Fraase more fun with spammers”. Oh, and someone looking for the “Background of the Stay Puff Marshmallow man”. (Sorry, can’t help you there…)
