I need to start making a list. David will be giving me a list of what he wants. I had a plant on the corner of my desk — and it died. Imagine that. That corner really needs something. I have a wooden sunflower plant box there, but it just […]

When we traveled for the company we were working for back in the 80’s, we are able to take a few days and spend some time with friends who lived in California. We had a wonderful time. The most memorable thing about the visit was how different we live from the way […]

I really don’t want to go — I have a weigh-in appointment this afternoon. But, David has been doing his own little plan, and he lost 5 lbs this week. So, I have a “list” of things I am supposed to pick up for him. If I don’t go, I sabotage his […]

Spain is widely know for Flamenco music and dance, bullfights, lots of fun in the sun, and has much much more than that to offer. Traveling to Spain is a dream of mine. I would love to travel outside of the US and Spain is at the top of my list. […]

The week has started out busy for Ethan, but not for me. Yeah! He was called last night and told that Praise Band practice was changed from Wednesday night to tonight. And he has Barbershop practice tomorrow night — and GAP Wednesday night. He is working a shift for […]

I have lived in Kansas all of my 48 years, except for a few years in Michigan in my twenties. When David and I were first married, we worked in a family owned business (his mom and dad owned the business), and we did alot of traveling during the summer months, going to fairs […]

David didn’t stay very long at the fair. Usually he’ll run into someone he knows and talks all evening; but apparently that didn’t happen this evening. Plus, I know he was tired — he worked all day, changing truck tires. The livestock show wasn’t holding his interest, so he called to see […]

I am always a little timid to go in public bathrooms these days. Gone are the days where you pull the handle to flush or manuever the faucets at the bathroom sinks to wash your hands. Its all automated. And yet sometimes, you are looking for the things to make them […]

We live in a small town, in a small house. But, with just the 3 of us, and in a couple of years, it will just be the two of us, its big enough. It works. But, there is always that dream. To have something better. Bigger. A luxury […]

For years … the little county fair is the last week of July. A few carnival rides, livestock show, demo derby… you know, the whole small hometown setting. And, every year, on the last night of the fair, its “bracelet” night. The bracelet is $15.00, with the bracelet, you can ride all […]

I tend to take things I really like to do to an extreme. I love reading, and have bookshelves full of books. Scrapbooking — drawers and organizers full of scrapbooking supplies. Blogging? yep, have several of those as well. Before the days of the computers and email, and quite […]

Living in a very small rural Kansas town, the closest thing we come to a traffic jam is when a farmer is moving his combine or John Deere tractor from one field to another, and he is having to take the highway, and is only running 20 mile an hour. I have traveled enough […]

This weekend has sooo not gone according to plan. It was almost 6:00 last night before I could call the day my own. Granted, I got quite a bit accomplished. Just not the things on my list. But. This upcoming week looks a lot less hectic, so I’m hoping […]

When I first moved back to Kansas, I lived in an apartment for several months. In 2 short years, Ethan will be moving out, and I would imagine he will be moving into an apartment as well. Sometimes you can find a house to rent; but assuming he’s going to […]

I had forgotten that this weekend is Blogathon 2007. I had considered doing it again this year, but since its tomorrow, I think I’ll just stand on the sidelines and cheer those friends I sponsored and others on to victory. 24 hours hours of blogging — for a good cause. I […]

I don’t get them sent as often as I should, but I have to admit, I do like the ease of sending an ecard for a special occasion. Yes, there was something special about receiving a card in the mail, from friends and family when it was your birthday or anniversary, or when something […]

Just have to get through this afternoon (and finishing that wonderful quarterly report), attending a parade, and then the weekend is mine, mine, mine. I had 2nd thoughts about attending the parade; but I was told the float turned out really good, so I want to get pictures of it. Meaning, I will […]

I don’t wear much jewelry, my wedding ring, a mother’s ring, and an italian bracelet that has the progress of my weight loss on the links. And occasionally, I will wear a necklace. I have a couple of ones that are special to me. I need to drop some hints to David […]

I’m almost there. I only have 4 more driver’s and I’m done with my part of the IFTA report. Each driver has a week’s worth of driving information that I have to record on a spread sheet.
Now. If I was efficient, I would be on top of it and […]

Because of his interest in drama and vocal, as well as decent grades, we have received several student travel opportunities. He was extended an invitation to travel to Europe to sign in an international choir, touring various different cathedrals and other various places. It would have been a chance of a […]

Besides dispatching for 11 trucks, and all that goes along with that, David also does alot of the mechanic work. Not all of it, and he has enough common sense to know when to actually send it to the shop and let “professionals” work on it. But for the little odd and end […]

I wonder how Matt is doing. We called him the day he left, to see how he was getting along, and he was already there. Blew me away, but David did the mileage math for me, and it was possible, but it sure wasn’t what I had in my head for what it […]

I have always worked in small offices, where there is just myself and maybe one or two others. But I am confident that under different circumstances, I would thrive in a larger office, with many employees. I would be interested in seeing how intranet software works. Epazz.com offers a 30 day free […]

I know the women that need to buy padded panty do so for a reason. And to them, they have just as many negative thoughts about how they look as I do. But this is one item I know I will never be in need of. I was blessed (or cursed, depending […]
