Time

Well, this is going to be a complaining blog. What do I have to complain about? Not much really. I have a good job, two of them actually. I have my health. I have a TERRIFIC, WONDERFUL, ADORABLE family. I live in America. I have a beautiful house with this amazing yard. I have all the food I could possibly eat (and usually do..haha) I have great music on the radio. The opportunity to be and do and say anything I want. Okay, what was this blog about again??? Oh yeah, my one complaint. My kids came up from Las Vegas this weekend and I had to work all weekend. And the time I did have with them I spent part of doing something I could have done when they weren't here. Geez Louise! When am I gonna learn? I hope that I have learned a lesson this weekend. Don't let those little moments slip by you. Don't be distracted by inconsequentials. Don't take anything for granted. And last of all; DO pay attention to your life or it may slip by you. There is a song by Jim Croce about keeping time in a bottle. I wish that were possible but it's not so don't let it get away!!

UT/AZ Bowl Off

Well, today was an interesting day. We had the Utah/Arizona Bowl Off. All the people I work with went bowling in shifts today. We will take the two highest games from each side and see who wins the trophy for being number one. Let me just tell you that the games I bowled will not be among those vying for first place. Hahahaha! But nobody had more fun than me!! I'm serious! Okay, just watching me bowl is hilarious cuz I have some wicked form going on. Haha! Not really....but we cranked up the jukebox and there was dancing in the lanes and some serious screaming going on. Okay, maybe I WAS the only one dancing in the aisles but hey....there was dancing. Maybe you had to be there but to me there are few things funnier than a bunch of older adults getting their groove on to Nickelback's "Rock Star" in a public place!! Am I wrong? You know I'm not. The only thing that would have made it better is if my kids had been there so I could have really embarrassed them!!Hahahaha! Good day!

POST! Or else!

Okay, so I'm gonna post or else Brinlee will kick my backside when she gets here this weekend. I don't know exactly what to post. I am not that good at writing but here goes.

This post is mostly just going to be about random thoughts. So....

Thought #1: I believe that spelling is genetic. You either have the spelling gene or you don't. I have it. Ray does not. Yes, you can improve on what the good Lord has given you by studying and such but really, it is a lot more difficult to be a good speller if you don't have the spelling gene.

Thought #2: I have decided to lose weight. For reals. I have also decided to make this decision public so ya'll can kick me when I backslide. I joined Weight Watchers a couple of weeks ago and have lost a total of 6 lbs. That doesn't sound like much, I know, and in all reality, considering the amount of weight Ineed to lose (upwards of 100 lbs.) it isn't much. But if I keep plugging along at this rate I should see my goal in a year or maybe 18 months. Holy cow! That sounds like such a long time. But I am determined and willing to sacrifice (I'm giving up Coke, aren't I?) so I really believe I can do it. Let's hear some encouragement from my support group!!



Thought #3: I am sad that Brin and Kyle are not going to Salt Lake City with us for the 4th of July. We have Poison tickets!! How can they say no to Poison tickets?? Gosh, Brin and her new job have put a wrench in the works. But WOOHOO! to her for landing that good job. Isn't it funny how things work out? She felt like it was the end of the world when she got laid off but now she has an even better job with better hours AND better pay AND she got a fews weeks of semi-paid vacation to boot. Still, it is a bummer that they will not be there with us in Salt Lake City. I will miss them.

Thought #5: Have you seen pictures of my granddog? He is so cute. He is a black lab and his name is Tank. That is a hella funny name. Is "hella"a bad word cuz I am trying to quit swearing. I hope Dad will be reasonable about the dog when Brin and Kyle visit. Ray has a pet hair phobia and it is very difficult at times to reason with him about this. I wonder what the word for pet hair phobia is?

Thought #6: Do you like the new Sugarland song? And how do you feel about Bruce Springsteen? My answers are yes and torn. What do you think?

Thought #7: I just saw a bunch of people who are gonna vote for Obama on a music video for a song called "Pork and Beans" by Weezer. YIKES!!

Well, that is enough for now. I have a doctor's appointment and have to run. Hope everyone is having some great day.
