January 28 It's NOT a Stupid Time Machine!I averaged working 49.5 hours per week last year. I'm proud of myself, I shaved a 1/2 hour per week off my 2006 average. I don't know what I did with those extra 26 hours, but I'm sure I enjoyed them.
The downside, to this major accomplishment is that I've already started to work more hours this year than I want too, and my schedule over the next 6 months looks to be horrendous. I keep wishing it was July and thinking about that Verizon or Sprint or whatever it was, techy commercial where the good looking actor is selling some sort of new gizzmo. The punch line to the commercial is that there is a time machine at the back of the set - but it's supposed to be next to the guy, so he has to turn and walk toward it. As he's walking away, he mutters 'stupid time machine' under his breath.
How I wish I had a stupid time machine. If I had one, I'd either make every day be about 36 hours long, and stay at my present location on the time-space continuum, or I'd keep 24 hours in the day and jump ahead to July. I'm not sure which would be the better option, but if I did have a stupid time machine, I could try one, and if i didn't like it, I could just rewind it and try something else. January 01 Happy 2008!Hello All and Happy New Year!
I can't believe that today is our 8th wedding anniversary. In the best possible sense, it seems much longer than that. I can't imagine my life without Joe and it seems like I've known him forever.
We're spending a quiet holiday at home - in our cozy, comfy cave. Outdoors a fine, light snow is coming down and the wind is howling. Hopefully you are all snug and warm in your comfy caves too.
Joe and I traveled to SE MO over the holidays and had a good, but short, visit with the family - I miss spending time with them - probably more than they understand or realize - but I do admit that it's nice to be home, too.
During the visit south, we got to meet baby Sammy - what a cutie! and Mommy-Whitney, has taken to mothering as naturally as I expected that she would. All of those years of babysitting and kid-wrangling at church have made her quite the pro at handling one of her own. She's one of those natural mothers that make the job look effortless - the apple doesn't fall far from the tree... her mother is no slouch in the mothering department either.
