Hey Hey Everyone!

It’s been ages since I have updated. Things have been “this” busy that I haven’t even had time to keep up with e-mail, much less live journal. But that changes for the next 4 days because this morning I am officially on holiday until Tuesday of next week. Yihoo!

Well, since I have last written (I think). I had a party at my place that was really successful. Steve’s been around in town and that has been a good thing. My assignment to Sweden was almost ended, but was saved at the last minute (don’t know if I will have that same luck next year). Took a Nordic tour (3 countries in 3 days), and the next 2 weekends after I come back from Amsterdam will be spent in London — one for business and the other for Steve’s birthday.

Work has been frustrating, but ok. Things in the personal life department are going okay as well. And I will be in Atlanta in June, with just overnight stops in Boston each way. So the travel calendar is certainly picking up as well. I will plan another trip home later this year, but I don’t know for sure since I will have to pay for it out of pocket.

Well, not much else to report really. Things are interesting, as they always are, and I miss so many of you all because you don’t e-mail. And I feel like an ass because my friend Kim called me while she was in Switzerland and I was hosting people and couldn’t call her back so I missed her call and the opportunity to catch up. KIM IF YOU ARE READING…I AM SOOOOOO SORRY…I’M AN ASSHOLE! I PROMISE TO MAKE IT UP TO YOU 🙂

Anyway, I hope that everyone is doing okay. I will probably post a phone journal or two because I think that’s a cool feature while in Amsterdam.

Take care, keep in touch, and hugs! 🙂

Love, Rodney

…a good one in fact.

I find that absolutely love the new Janet Jackson CD. I downloaded the songs to my MP3 player so that I could take them around and listen to them.

I have been singing the songs as I have been walking around the city, or shopping. People don’t typically sing and even hum in Sweden, so to do that is strange here. I have never thought of singing to myself as strange. I often do it to releave stress and to stretch the vocal cords (shush Steve!) because I think it’s healthy for the voice. And my mom sings beautifully as does most of my family.

But I will say that I was singing a song in the supermarket yesterday. And I hadn’t really realised that I was singing as I was shopping. And an old lady looked at me and I got embarassed and apologies. And she told me that I sang really good. So that made my day in a small way.

Anyway, today is my day off so I am working on clearing up some of my e-mail. And maybe the final push on some of those smaller projects that I have been meaning to work on. And then I will go to the gym and work out.

Oh yeah…and the dinner turned out great. Thanks to help from Robin.
