There is a crisp freshness in the air. The nights are cool and the days are warm. It is a wonderful time of year, and I am anxiously awaiting the color changes in the trees. God paints the warm colors on the leaves and turns the hills into flaming beauty. It is this time of year that I am amazed that there are people who deny God's existence. His ( Read more... )

We went to Springfield, MO last weekend. I took my mother-in-law to see the movie, "Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed". It is a documentary by Ben Stein. It is very good and I would highly recommend it.

This week has been one for the books on Oklahoma winter weather. The news stated that more than 600,000 homes in the state were without power on Tuesday. Last night, 300,000 were still without power. We were very fortunate and never lost power at home, but I did get 1 1/2 days off of work due to lack of electricity there ( Read more... )

Unfortunately I was unable to have the garage sale. The OU/Texas game was that weekend and many people from Norman leave to go to the game at the Cotton Bowl. So I enjoyed just having five days off of work with no set agenda ( Read more... )

As much as I detest having a garage sale, I need to get rid of a few things. My goal is to de-clutter my home and make some cash at the same time. My last sale was a big flop and I only made about $40 dollars. This time I have some furniture and a few household items, so I hope that it will go better.

This week has marked my 30th wedding anniversary. I ended up working late and not getting home until around 7 pm, David made a batch of chili and thats how we spend the evening.

It has really been a great ride, and I am happy that we did marry young. You might say that we grew up together.

Recently my son came over talking about how he saw a CD at his in-laws home that was one of the downloaded variety. It was labeled Eric Crapton, and that was marked out with Clapton hand written underneath. When Andy inquired about it, his mother-in-law said that it was a gift from one of her Asian ESL students! Another mistaken use of R for L!

I have now lost 27.8 pounds since January first. I have dropped two sizes also, which is a mixed blessing. I enjoy being smaller, but I am running out of clothes to wear. Soon everything in my closet will be too big, but I do not want to invest in a lot of clothes until I reach my goal.

1. I start to work at a small hospital.
2. I am let go while my employer downsizes.
3. I start working at a larger health care organization.
4. My new employer buys that small hospital.
