a little hymn action from tonight

so these folks are a generation older than Sarah & me… but having some worship in honor of our upcoming wedding? (13 days from today!) pretty cool.

I’m pretty sure that beer wasn’t designed to be gross.

So after a long day of packing, sorting, and loading, Sarah & I were (are) beat. Thankfully the majority of our stuff is packed (particularily the big items). We did have a few more friends lined up to help us tonight, but due to the awesomeness of our afternoon help, they weren’t needed… so we took a break & met up with Chris, at Basil (www.basilmedbistro.com), for some amazing food & yes, quality beer.
 
Recognize any of these? If you don’t, each are worth going out of your way to try sometime.

Carl Zovko, Anthony Gregoria, Anthony Caputi. Thanks guys!
 
Thanks to Sarah’s dad, Dale, as well… for renting & driving the truck over… and yup, helping us load our junk.

The truck may be a little big.

Moving day tomorrow! Packing today… truck is 26′… we filled about 1/2 of the back of this. Yup, too big… but better too much space than too little

Can you find the St. Patty’s day flavors?

Tonight before the community group that Sarah & I are part of through church (www.porticocville.org), we grabbed some St. Patty’s day gelato from Splendora’s (www.splendoras.com). Here’s a small portion of their spread… and the two seasonal flavors pictured here?
 
Amazing.

I have too much crap.

So Sarah has been helping me sort through some of my belongings in preparation for our big move to NC on Saturday.  I have so much "junk" saved from over the years, which I once perceived to have some value, not necessarily monetarily either.  I've thrown out piles of stuff from school.  I have hundreds of audio CDs, yet 95% of the time I'm listening to music through iTunes, an iPod/iPhone, or Pandora.com.  I'm quickly rediscovering something I've known for a long time: I have too much crap.

Point: I need to simplify & declutter my life.

Sarah has been great though.  I love her & am sometimes bewildered how & why she puts up with me.  There's so much left to do in the 2.5 weeks left before our wedding & I'm experiencing stress levels I haven't felt in a while.  Not only are we planning an event for what may be near 350 people celebrating our lives, but we're moving… to another state.  The rest of life hasn't stopped either, and I'm having a difficult time juggling everything.

Whew.  Gotta keep moving though…

a life I’m envious of…

trying to simplify the social networking issue using Posterous?

Facebook, Twitter, blogs, etc etc… social networking is quickly becoming a *normal* means of communicating electronically, versus a craze. The web is everywhere, even in our pockets. Thing is, it takes TIME to keep up with everything! I’m less than three weeks from getting married & moving to a new state (NC), and it’s already a chore to keep up with email. I don’t mind all this; it’s just a lot when the rest of life commands my attention as well…
 
Sometime within the past few months I discovered ping.fm, which updates Twitter & Facebook (& other sites) simultaneously. That’s cool. Now I’ve discovered Posterous.com, which I can set to update my personal blog (www.scottandsarah.info) as well. Sweet. It also posts photos everywhere (including Flickr), and updates yet another blog on its own server (scottpruett.posterous.com).
 
Why is this needed? It’s not, but hey, all that’s required to use Posterous is an email account. That’s all. No logging into several sites. It’s stupid easy… so why not? I’m literally typing this on my iPhone’s email program; when I hit send, it goes several places automatically. Neat-o.
 
We’ll see how long this lasts with me. I think there’s potential here though. Check it out: www.posterous.com.
