25 or 6 to 4
Title courtesy of Chicago, because thats where I am. In fact, I think I'll make life easy on myself and post everything this week with a Chicago song title. The band.
Anyway, I'm in a suburb outside of Chicago all week for a training class. It kind of sucks to be away again, considering I just got back from Vegas the week before. Oh well. It sucks even more before Missy and I are so close to being done with the major wedding planning stuff that this puts a bit of a damper on it, you know? We really just have the video to book, and flowers, and we're done with the major stuff.
Also, it sucks being away because I'm away from this:
You are looking at my engagement present from Missy. We picked it out on Saturday, after I checked with the shop that we bought it at to make sure they had one in stock. It is a Gibson Custom Shop 1957 Les Paul Goldtop Reissue. Basically, that means even though it was made in 2007, it was made to the specs that Les Paul's were made to 50 years ago 1957. It is a thing of beauty and something I have lusted after for about as long as I've been playing the guitar. It plays like a dream and its killing me that I'm stuck here, 800 or so miles away from it. Yes, I miss my fiance to, but damn, thats a beautiful guitar.
I'll be home late Friday, so hopefully I can get some playing time with it over the weekend. Other than that, nothing new to report really. I wish there was, but Downers Grove, Illinois, is kind of what it says, a bit of a downer. On the plus side I haven't pigged out today and I hit the hotel gym twice! Once this morning and again this afternoon after class. Go me!
Alright, time to watch some TV on my laptop before Big Love at 9, or 8, whatever the time is here.
Adios!
