Update

I still don't feel well, but I was off yesterday. It was nice to just hang out on the couch and doze off and on. It would be nice to do that again today, but, alas, it's off to work I go.

The more important order of business is that Dan's mom is in the hospital. She had an appointment at the cardiologist yesterday, and he sent her straight to the CCU at the heart hospital in Ft. Worth. She already has stints in her arteries (?), and with the symptoms she was having, he just went ahead and sent her. She is supposed to have a heart cath today, so I guess we will go from there and see what they say. If you would keep Wanda in your prayers, that would be greatly appreciated!

Stuff

I am typing on a new computer!!! The IRS was kind to us this year, and we were able to purchase a MacBook! I like it, but I'm still getting used to the keys. My fingers are only used to reaching just "so" far to hit enter or backspace or what have you, so I've had to hit delete more than I like to. OH WELL!!! I still have my Gateway that I use most of the time, but every now and then I get to sneak this one away from Danno. hehe

We had a workshop in Midland this last weekend. It turned out well. They were disappointed that they had a lower turnout than expected, but we still had a good representation from their church, as well as two other churches, so that was good. We drove in on Friday, had the workshop until about 4:00 on Saturday, then had part of the service on Sunday. We went to visit Dan's cousin in the hospital there Sunday afternoon, and then went home. The only disappointing thing on our end was that we were so close to friends and family and not able to see them. :(

My niece turns 16 tomorrow!!! Oh, my goodness, where does the time go?

I am not feeling so hot today. My nose is stuffy and my throat hurts from all the drainage from my stuffy nose! And, of course, I can't call in any this week because my assistant is on vacation. I'm off on Thursday, so I'm hoping I'll be able to hold out until then and just chill that day. Well, there's no hoping to it...that is what will have to happen.

Well, I better sign off for now. I have to get to work.

Until next time....

Birthday Pictures!

My new hair-do!


This is my cousin Deric. He was my birthday present when I was six years old. We share a birthday and have a regular argument over whose birthday it actually is. I can't convince him that since I'm older, it naturally is MY birthday. :)


We had pies instead of birthday cake. Blueberry Banana Cream....mmmmmm! Thanks, Mom!


Notice I'm blowing out the 30 candles and Deric is blowing out the 36 candles! Who's the smart one???


The last night Mom and Dad were here, we rounded out the birthday celebration with dinner and dessert at The Cheesecake Factory!
