One of the things I had promised myself once we got an on call rotation at work was to start taking classes and doing things I wanted to to instead of staying home just in case there was an emergency.  I really was starting to feel like a work hostage!

So I did it!  I'd tried to find classes in the past, but none of them ever panned out.  My sister ( Read more... )

I'm going down to see my girl Julie!  I don't know what we're going to do but I'm pretty sure we're gonna make a trip to Barton Springs.  I've never been there, but hear it's nice.

Really, I'm just looking forward to some quality, chill, girl time.  If we just sat around and talked, I'd be in heaven.  It feels like I haven't seen her in forever!

I just went back and read several old posts.  Seems like lots of folks have had odd dreams lately. I don't usually remember mine ( Read more... )

I found out yesterday that my Uncle Chris, who passed away in the late 1990's, had a son that was given up for adoption.  When I was younger, I remember someone telling me they thought he had had a kid, but nobody in the family seemed to know anything about it when I asked ( Read more... )

Sandra has been my mom's best friend since college.   I've known her my WHOLE life.  When I home schooled, she was the person who sat there and monitored when I took every official test.  When I got married, I wore her wedding dress and tiara - 1960's vintage Victor Costa - beautiful!

Sandra is one of those people who is just simply part of my life ( Read more... )

I started working out again a couple of weeks ago.  For me it's not a New Years Resolution thing, it's about metabolism and staying warm once it gets really cold out.  I thoroughly dislike being cold, and working out seems to really light my little furnace ( Read more... )

I don't do much tuning, so I wasn't sure how much of a difference I was going to make when a client asked for help.  She had a process that has been taking longer and longer every month starting about a year ago.  It was a really old program and the amount of data has grown a lot since it was written ( Read more... )

I went to my sister's during lunch to get a good, long shower.  The plumber said to use a little water as possible, so I've been showering like every other day, and turning the water off when soaping up and back on to rinse off as fast as possible since this all started on Jan 1.  I was starting to feel kinda grodey ( Read more... )

shittily, literally.  Shit.  about mid day Jan 1, I was doing laundry, cleaning the last of the dishes from my sister's party, and Lance was showering.  And the the water started to back up in the bathrooms. ( Read more... )

The party went really well.  I think somewhere between 40 and 50 people came.  D had a great time.  We went to a bar when there were just a few of us left.  I guess that was around 1am.  Lance was so tired he went to bed instead.  The DJ was good and we all danced.  I don't dance enough.  I  really do like to dance ( Read more... )
