Sweetie and I have taken off several vacation days over the past couple of weeks, mainly due to the holidays. I mean, if I can use three days of vacation time and have a four day weekend and five day weekend, why would I not stake the opportunity? I cleaned out the attic today, in …

Snow
Well yesterday we woke up to the most snow we have seen in about 25 years. I measured our front yard, and we had 13 inches! Now to those of you in Colorado or the northeastern US, this may sound like nothing. To those of us in the south, where the low number of both …
Kindle Fire Sets Me in Another State of Mind
Sweetie got me a Kindle Fire for Christmas. It was a great surprise. I was pretty psyched to get started using. It because I had not had one before. I was most excited because I can now blog easier than before. World, watch out! Here I come. COPYRIGHT INFORMATION: All written, photographic, and other materials …

Holidays and Law School
Sweetie and I like to travel. We’ve been to tons of different places and countries during our nearly 8 years together, and we have many more trips planned in the future. I didn’t travel hardly any in my previous relationship, so I’m taking advantage of our ability to travel now, while we’re still young enough …
Oh Be With Me During Finals
I know he is. I can feel it. He is with me during finals, this last one on the day when he got a new lease on life. December 10, a day that, for my son and me, will live forever. 21 years ago today, I walked into the CVICU at Baptist Health, not knowing …
Llama Time
Per tradition, this evening, at the stroke of midnight, I will donate a llama to Heifer International in honor both of a donor family to whom I will always be grateful, and the recipient of that life-gift, Ken. You will both always be young at heart to me. I challenge those of you who knew …
The Sky’s the Limit
That’s the name of the fingernail polish I’m wearing on my ring finger on my left hand. Yes, it’s different from the other polish on my other fingers. Why? Just because I want it to be. When you get to be my age (41), you realize that some things just really don’t matter. You also …
I Feel Like I Will Never Finish This Paper–Shiny Things Distract Me
I am trying desperately to finish a paper before finals start on Wednesday. The paper isn’t due until December 21, but if I don’t finish it before finals, I’ll be distracted by it until I do. It’s driving me mostly crazy, as I can’t seem to nail down all the discussion points as there are …

Thank You. A Simple but No-Used-Enough Nice-to-Do
Today was a good day. I have turned the corner at work and come up with a different way to deal with issues. It’s working out so far, and I go home with a much clearer heart and mind. It just seems that everyone now, not just my workplace but across America, is feeling stress …

My First Stock Trade
Well, today I took at step that I’ve wanted to for a very long time. I signed up for an online stock trading account a week or so ago, funded the account, and today put in an order for a purchase tomorrow morning. We both decided we would invest $500 each in something we wanted …
