Grandma Hood

We got a call Sunday that Loretta was in the hospital and they didn’t think she was going pull through. We went to Albuquerque and  straight to the hospital, arriving at about midnight.  Loretta was unconscientious, but she didn’t seem to be in pain or uncomfortable.  Alan & K stayed with her all night and [...]

Halloween 2007

We had a party for Halloween this year.  K & T each invited a few friends and then Mom, Jesse, Berta, Curt and Roger came by.  It was a costume party, so I went as a Tourist.  I was originally going to be ghost of Elvis, but I couldn’t decide on what to wear.  I [...]

Anniversary

Alan and I had our 17th wedding anniversary this weekend.  It was VERY uneventful.  Alan was working and I was home w/ a headache.  Plus I was a wreak.  Once again I am trying to get off my antidepressants because I hate being on them.  I reduced my intake to every other day and then went cold turkey for [...]

Date Nights

Alan and I have started having date nights once a week.  So far we’ve gone to an Open House @ Kelsey’s school, out to dinner and to buy appliances.  While they may not sound romantic, it is so wonderful to spend time just the two of us.  Getting out of the house ensures we won’t [...]

Labor Day

I spent the weekend just taking it easy.  The girls and I went to Mom’s yesterday for dinner. It was nice to see the family. Mom was looking much better. The last few times I’ve seen her, she’s looked tired and stressed out.  Yesterday she looked well rested and relaxed. 
Today Alan was off, so he, [...]

Austin

I just got back from Austin. I spent a week, with the purpose of finalizing solution papers, and left with more open items and frustration. This project has been a real learning experience for me, but mostly it’s been things NOT to do. Oh well, I just have to take a deep breath [...]

Swimming & Shopping

Ah, vacation days..
Monday, Tay & I went shopping for school clothes. We started out with pancakes @ IHop, then we went to Kohl’s & Target, Fiesta Mall & Superstition Mall. It was shop, shop, shop, until I dropped. Tay was still ready to go.
Yesterday we were finally able to swim in our [...]

Vaction-itis

I’ll be on vacation next week to spend a day with Tayler and a day with Kelsey, take each school shopping and out to lunch. Kelsey asked me to go see Hairspray, and we’re going to paint her room and get things organized before school starts.
I can hardly believe school starts in less than 2 [...]

Will Plan for Food

The vibe at work has not been too good. Phase I of the project is in test right now, and Phase II (which is my portion) is scheduled for blueprint signoff in September. With the lack of mgmt support and some shady things going on w/ SCO, I’m seriously worried Phase II will be [...]

MCC

I decided to go back to MCC. I was so pissed when I registered for summer that I was going to go to U of Phx or DeVry and forget about MCC. I broke down because I only need about 7 more classes to get my AAS. It’s only taken me 5 years [...]
