Writings about life, and usually how beautiful it is.

Stuck on the side of the road. :( I was down in Alexandria and the fuel was low, so I pulled into a gas station, swiped my card, put the pump in the car and began fueling, and then ran out of the rain into the store to grab some cashews (I hadn’t eaten anything today). Once I got the nuts, I ran back out, saw the pump wasn’t running, jumped in the car and took off. I was in a rush because Tamika has practice tonight with the band from church, so I guess I didn’t notice that the tank wasn’t full. The LED lights that illuminate our dashboard are dying, and the one that lights up the gas gauge is completely out. I ran dry in Savage, MD. Fortunately, we still have the AT&T Roadside Assistance that Tamika’s mom insisted we get, so a truck is on its way out to come help me out. #gas #brokendown #subaru

Picking up a late dinner from our favourite Chinese restaurant. It’s not terribly classy, but it’s inexpensive and tastes great. Tamika and I had a pretty good day. I played piano as she sang in church during communion. It was a little nerve-wracking and my fingers slipped a few times, but overall I think we played good. Tamika (@blusoul30) got a shot of me practicing before the service. Afterwards we went out to pickup Arion’s presents and supplies to make him cupcakes. Talisha and her kids came over and they all had a good time, making paper-plate masks and decorating the carrot-cake cupcakes Tamika made from scratch. Tamika and I are SO tired though. I have a big client meeting tomorrow, but I’ve vowed not work on Sundays, so I’m not going to worry about it too much (and I’m already very prepared). I need to have at least one day of rest. We’ve been wanted to do an annual letter to our friends with an update on our family like my parents do, so maybe I’ll work on that tonight. If you’d like a copy leave you mailing address. #chinesefood #restaurant #dinner
