HOT!

The weather is finally hot!  I love it.  I do have to admit though, I caved and turned on the air conditioner last night, I can stand the heat when I'm awake, but when I need to sleep I can't deal with it very well.  I slept like a log last night, it was wonderfully [...]

Thoughts for the week

Children (especially as young adults) can be selfish pigs.  Should have raised dogs.
There is an evil curse upon me that absolutely defies my will to exercise.  This curse took the form of Reebok shoes this weekend which gave me serious bruises in my instep from a walk.  Bad, nasty shoes have gone to live at [...]

Finally Friday!

This is Steve's last Friday off.  He's been taking every Friday to use up his vacation before the end of the fiscal year.  It's over.  He's off at the dentist now to get a tooth filled – haha!  I had no cavities!  Who cares that my teeth are yellow and ugly, at least they have [...]

Blech

I feel pretty much like crap.  This has been going on for about 2 weeks and I'm sick to death of it.  I just feel like someone used me to scrub the kitchen floor, complete with wringing me out.  Every joint in my body aches,  muscles ache like I'm coming down with the flu or [...]

The End of the Week of Mindi

Well, my celebrating is done for the year!  Next year I will be 49.95!  LOL.
Mom and Bob had dinner at their house tonight so we could celebrate Mother's Day and my birthday all at one time.  It was really nice, except the weather was too cool to eat outside, although I don't think we had [...]

On a lighter note…

Meg graduated from Iowa Western with her Associates degree in the arts today.  I'm so proud of her for finishing the job!  She starts school on Monday for the summer semester and when she finishes all she can at IWCC she's planning (at least at this point) to continue at UNO!  Yay Meghan! 
We bought her [...]

Karen

My friend's husband passed away last week.  I haven't written anything, because I didn't know what to say.  I was shocked, to say the very least.  Brian had some health problems, but no one should be a widow at 26 with 3 small children.  It's so unfair.  I wanted to go to Arizona just to [...]

Ya Gotta Wonder!

This guy is a for real doctor.  Not a med student, not an attending.  I guess maybe English isn't stressed in medical school.  This is his sentence.
"The cord was cut and clamped and handed off to pediatric staff".  Hmm, I would have thought they'd hand the baby off to the pediatric staff!   Silly me.

Sad day too…

In Primary today I was getting everything together to start since I'm conducting this week and Chantal was doing the roll as we waited for the inevitable stragglers. (You think with church starting at 3 p.m. that people could be on time wouldn't you?  Well, you'd be wrong.)  Chantal said "Oh, Autumn won't be here [...]

Happy Anniversary Steven!

Happy 18th Anniversary sweetie!  I know we've really had some tough times – really tough times, but I want to tell you how much I appreciate and love you!  Thank you for everything!
