Well, Steve spent maybe ten hours here yesterday. I think we finished our album, at least the recording aspect of it. I just have to get everything in order and make sure all the fade-betweens are perfect. I'm happy with it. It's the best of everything we have, and it's 78:45 out of a possible 80:00 that can fit on a cd. Couldn't squeeze more on there if we tried. So, we'll see what happens. It seems the rates for mastering have gone up, but I'll try to get the old rates honored. With the new rates it will cost us between 900-1000 dollars. Ouch. We now have gathered about a hundred bucks through our bandcamp site, and Steve has put forty bucks into the pot. Not quite there yet by any stretch, but we'll make it happen.

Steve and I are going to try to set up a scheduled weekly time to work on stuff. We can't exactly call it band practice because we don't practice, but it's like a combination Super Nintendo and audio recording time.

We went bowling this morning and Stephen's nap schedule is completely screwed. He has slept for a total of 30 minutes all day, when he should have woken up from a 2+ hour nap a little bit ago. I just made the suggestion that we go grocery shopping right now so we could be finished by the time football starts, but then I realized the error of my ways when Stephen started to lose his temper and remind me that he needs to nap very badly. Jaime is upstairs feeding him and trying to put him down right now, and it doesn't sound like she is having much success.

I contacted a title company to get the title of this house transferred to me and Jaime's names. It is currently listed in me and my father's names. We'd like to get it squared away before it becomes an issue down the road when/if we sell this place. I throw the "if" in there because ideally we would rent this place out when we buy a new house. We have less than 9yrs to go on this mortgage. Money situation is good right now. Hopefully we can pay off our new car or Jaime's student loans (or both, but probably not) after taxes this year. Will be nice to not have a car payment again. If we paid off the car (which we just got last April) then we'd have 303 more dollars per month to play with. We shall see.
