I'm sitting here in the Kansas City airport for a short layover (I just did a presentation for the St. Louis SWE section), and I thought I'd update. Things have just been crazy - life's moving by so fast ( Read more... )

I think it's interesting how the media and society can slowly influence you thinking about something. No one had even HEARD of global warming 5 years ago, and now it's all anyone's talking about. Dad was saying he might get a Prius once they've been out for a few more years (and used ones become available). I bought my first package of ( Read more... )

We got in the pool for the first time last night. It's not crystal clear yet, but it's darn close (just a little hazy on the deep end). We had SOOO much fun - Ryan and I turned on all the white lights in the back yard, and just swam around. We opened a bottle of wine and just talked and floated in the pool - it was a really fun "date ( Read more... )

OK, I'm bound & determined to lose some weight this summer. I layed wood floors all weekend long, and dropped 2.5 lbs (did you know you burn 250 calories an hour doing that?). Anyway, I'm going to help Ryan finish the flooring this week (in the evenings). Hey, it beats walking on a treadmill all day!

OK, for those of you I don't talk to often, here's a summary of what Avery's been doing ( Read more... )

I can't help but laugh every time I see the "Boston Terror Scare" on TV. When CNN first broke the story (before pictures), they were discussing "suspicious packages". Come on! It's a Light-Brite of a cartoon charactor flipping you off! If I were part of the Boston police department (or anyone who was involved in this), I think I'd crawl under a ( Read more... )

Yay!!! Kelley is going to keep cleaning for us even though we've moved all the way to Broken Arrow. I was dreading trying to find someone else... I enjoy having a chance to keep in touch with her, and I really don't know if I'd trust anyone else with a key to our house. It's SUCH peace of mind to know that no matter how busy I get, the house ( Read more... )
