Obituary

Here is the obituary of my friend. Turns out it was last month, not last year. Somehow that's worse. I was three weeks too late to say good-bye.

Earthquake

We had an earthquake here this morning. We had a couple last year, but I didn't feel them. This one actually woke us up. It sounded like a huge tree hit the house. It didn't feel like shaking, what you think it would and the only thing out of place was our antique Texas license plate on the porch. haha...

Sad

I've been listening to a book on tape (CD) by Portia Iverson called Strange Son. It is about her child with Autism and another mother and son she meets and their plight. I finished listening to it this afternoon while at the skate park. I listened to the majority of it with skepticism, even talking back to it at times. I knew it wasn't going to be a miraculous 'healing' or anything at the end, but it ended rather abruptly and made me very sad and left me with many questions. I may try to read the book as well as the CD said it was abridged for audio.

Also, I found out that one of my best friends from college passed away last year. Another thing that is very sad and has left me with lots of questions.

And, the little dog is sick. Lethargic, not wanting to stand.

Friend Request

Hi all...sorry I've been lame this week. I have a feeling it's going to be more and more like this as school moves on. Homework, presentations, papers, then work stuff, IEPs, meetings, etc. I think I'm going to take two back-to-back statistics classes this summer, too. You probably won't hear anything from me for that entire month! Plus, I've had another little diversion this week. Facebook. I have fought it. I really have. I'm a loyal person, so I've had my little MySpace and liked it. Well, I kinda got a Facebook page accidentally, but a couple of weeks ago a friend from high school found me, and it just snowballed from there. I now hope to spend my entire Spring Break visiting anyone from high school and college within driving distance. Oh, well, except I really should spend Spring Break on all those presentations, IEPs, and my paper.
I tried not to like Facebook, but I do. I do not have time for this.
Come find me!

Wordless Wednesday

Ok, so I'm a little early.... :)

I might have to start saving my pennies (for a loooong time).

And Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss!! Check out Google's 'font' today...too cute!

Happy 90th

Last weekend (I know, I'm behind. Pics were in hubby's camera) we traveled to Texas for my husband's grandmother's ninetieth birthday party! Here she is with her four children (isn't she beautiful!?). My mother-in-law is on the top right.

Her cake. I didn't have any, but enjoyed smelling the carnations on top.

Here's a neat montage of pictures.

And I wanted this little girl's outfit. Isn't it the cutest? I couldn't help snapping this classic picture of brother picking on sister. hee hee
