An Overdue Update!

It was a great weekend! Busy, but great!
Friday, Stanley came over to help David with the electrical plug for the freezer….Although I did not get to see him,
David did.
Saturday I spent a lot of time cleaning the house, laundry, ironing and many other productive things that had to be done
Whether I like to do them or not. I did get to relax Sat night when I watch Pride & Prejudice twice. I have never seen this movie
So when it came on back to back on TBS, I took advantage of it. Dave worked a side job at Victory park….I think the Mavs were playing.

Sunday we went to my sister’s house to visit them and grandma. We grabbed lunch at Wendy’s and took off to the Dallas Arboretum.
It has been a long time since I’ve been there…I mean super long time. Last time I remember going was when I was 12 or 13 and the Hardy’s took me
And my family. Sadly, I am just now realizing that life has been so busy that I’ve missed out on natural beauty for 13 years? Sad.

To make up for this, I will be purchasing a season pass for myself and Dave so we can enjoy this at any time and I believe my sister will be doing the same.

Some time today, Dave will be buying his new gun from some guy in Frisco. I am sure he is thrilled…Me? Not so much, I don’t understand guns….

On a lighter note, My parents are back from the Carribbean. From what I could tell they had a great time except for a small set back of my mom getting sea sick…
I understand that, that’s for sure, I got sick when I went to Hawaii (but that was our first cruise, I am pro now, you know! )
They are coming over tonight to eat steaks that Dave will be making…Can’t wait.

There are several great pictures we took at the Arboretum that I would like to post but that will have to wait until tonight so come back and check them out.

No Ice

So, no adventures….I bailed work at 2pm yesterday because Las Colinas was getting nasty. It was raining ice and snowing all at the same time.
I got home and continued to work….then I was having VPN connection problems so that took like 2 hrs to fix. After going back and forth with the
IT dept (which was awesome) I got it fixed and I was up and running. Dave however, was working a part time at Victory Park and had to leave the
House and drive into the nasty weather while I was at home getting toasty. He got there OK and got back home OK.

This morning I worked from home until 9 and then went to work for 10:30…No ice, no traffic, no wet roads….no adventures and that is how I like it.

Tonight is a big night! Our friends are roasting an entire pig. That will be fun to see and eat! So it is party time for us!

Carpool

So, being the resourceful person that I am, I have organized a carpool for work leaving from Forney.
Today was the first time we did it, it was a lot of fun and time went by a whole lot faster than it usually
Does, not to mention I am being a lot more environmentally friendly. So wish me luck!

I hope everyone has a great day today!

New Virus....Please Read!

There is a dangerous virus being passed around electronically, orally,
and by hand.

This virus is called Weary-Overload-Recreational-Killer (WORK). If you
receive WORK from any of your colleagues, your boss, or anyone else via
any means DO NOT TOUCH IT. This virus will wipe out your private life
completely.

If you should come into contact with WORK, put your jacket on and take
two good friends to the nearest grocery store. Purchase the antidote
known as Work-Isolating-Neutralizer-Extract (WINE) or
Bothersome-Employer-Elimination-Rebooter (BEER). Take the antidote
repeatedly until WORK has been completely eliminated from your system.

Did you vote?

Work has been keeping me busy, there are many projects going around and many people out on vacation so trying to keep up has been a job of its own.
Last night Dave and I went and voted in the primaries. City of Forney (at least our precinct) really had it pulled together, there were no lines, nice people, easy voting. Dave went the paper route and I did the electronic route. He was stubborn, he insisted on bubbling in his answers. BTW I got home at 8, there was not an ounce of energy in my body, I pretty much had dumb stares the rest of the night so I called it a night and did everybody a favor and went to bed.

Well that is all, I am going to work. Need to be there really early today.. :)
Hope everyone has a great day!

Kilauea Volcano

I found this very interesting this morning....don't be lazy, read the article below.

http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/02/29/hawaii.volcano.ap/index.html

David and I got to see this volcano in action when we were on our honeymoon (courtesy of my parents). We saw it very late at night, around 11pm when she ship did the 360 degree turn so everyone could see and smell the lava...To give you a comparison, it sounds like throwing a piece of button on a hot skillet.

What is leap year?

What's the deal with Feb. 29? It's pretty basic. The pattern of our lives depends on it: The current calendar needs the extra hours to stay aligned with Earth's orbit. Otherwise, we'd have winter in July — in about 10,000 years.

There are nice people....

Got to witness something rare this morning....Before leaving Forney I was sitting at the stop light waiting on the train...there was a little girl who got a flat and was trying to change the tire but had trouble....a random AT&T van pulled up with a young man in it who just came out, asked her if she needed help and started to help her....So, nice people are not yet extinct.....that gives me warm and fuzzies......

Have a good day everyone!

Remember, it is always better to give than to receive.....
