Since we now have a backyard it was decided that we would start a vegetable garden this year. I was very excited about the idea even though I have a long history of killing almost everything I try to grow. I checked out a bunch of garden books from the library and did a lot of research online. We started seeds indoors back in March, transplanted ( Read more... )

I haven't been very good about staying in touch with people lately so I thought I would take a few minutes before I crash to say "hi!" I'm sorry I have been a bad friend lately. Here is a summary of what has been consuming my life for those of you who are interested:

Working . . . (I'm "on-call" for another week and a half, which means my phone ( Read more... )

Our external hard drive died. We've only had it a little over a year ago and it had almost 250 gigs of stuff on it. I am so mad. All of my music, my digital pictures (1998-present) and a bunch of other random stuff was on there. When I try to access it all it will do is give me the error message "the file or directory is corrupt and unreadable ( Read more... )

I just wanted to say "thank you" to everyone who has sent messages, e-mails, cards, etc. I appreciate everything and I apologize for not getting back to everyone individually. I've been a little overwhelmed the last few weeks and I am trying catch up. I posted some about the funeral on my MySpace blog for anyone who is interested.

Thanks again! I ( Read more... )

My dad passed away this afternoon. The funeral is on Friday.

I don't really know what else to say. I feel numb.

For those of you who don’t know, my dad has had prostate cancer for a few years now. They didn't catch it until it was pretty far along and he has been getting progressively worse. He had a stroke last month and has been back and forth between the hospital and a rehabilitation center ever since. Last week he went into the ER and they said that the ( Read more... )

I posted this on myspace but forgot live journal. Not like that many people really read these but here you are ( Read more... )

I returned today from a 6-day visit to Tulsa. I went to see my good friends Kenny and Adrienne get married. It was a beautiful wedding and I had a great time. I got to spend a lot of time with some of my best friends, many other good friends I hadn’t seen since I moved to Colorado 8 years ago, and even made a few new ones.

There were lots of ( Read more... )

Cory and I got married on June 3rd. We spent the weekend up in Evergreen celebrating with our family and closest friends. We were married by our friend Todd who performed a wonderful ceremony. Q played a violin solo and we included her in our vows and exchanging of rings. Pemba was my adorable little flower girl princess, Tracy and Lorraine were my ( Read more... )

This is a silly movie survey that one of my friends had on myspace. Supposedly if you've seen over 70, you have no life. I scored 100 so I guess I am really pathetic. What can I say? I watch a lot of movies. Some very very bad movies! In my defense, some of them I have only seen with my kids at work. I would have never watched them on my own. But ( Read more... )
