I-POD Mania!

I've been putting more CD's on my I-POD. It's amazing how many songs one of those things can hold. I've got tons of CD's on there, and it's not even half full! I wonder if other people have as much variety as I have - I've got everything from Donny Osmond, Barry Manilow and the Monkees, to Five for Fighting, the Beach Boys, the Eagles, Rascal Flatts, Daughtry, Michael W. Smith, etc. - Contemporary Christian, 70's Rock, Motown, Pop, Country...I don't have any Latin, Rap (YUCK!!!!) or today's R&B. Right now I've got it on "shuffle" and I'm listening to Leavin' On A Jet Plane by Peter, Paul & Mary!

I just talked to Brandon. He's been busy applying for jobs, but so far, no luck. He's got his first semester paid for, but really needs to work to save some money for second semester. He's had to buy some things needed for his classes, and that cost about $50! College is a never-ending money drain - hey - sounds like real life! Brandon said he planned on coming home next weekend if he doesn't have a job yet. They'll come home Fri. afternoon so they can go to the Heights/Bishop Carroll football game Fri. night.

We went to see the latest Die Hard movie yesterday - Live Free and Die Hard (I think that's the name) with our friends, Paul & Tokeah (from across the street). We went to the Palace, so it was cheap ($2.50/ea.)...really enjoyed the movie. Lots of wild stunts, as usual. Bruce Willis still looks good after all these years!

The twins have both worked long days this weekend. That's where they seem to get most of their hours. Kaitlin is working 9 hours today, Kaleb is working 8. They'll be home for lunch mid-afternoon, so Corby is planning our dinner for then: grilled pork chops, pasta & salad! Yum!

Today's quote - fitting for Brandon's new college experiences and Kaleb & Kaitlin's new school year: "Learning is a treasure that will follow its owner everywhere." -- Chinese proverb

What's Good

Here's what's good right now: 1. Corby's OKAY after an accident at work today! He was on the forklift pulling onto a truck when the truck driver pulled away from the dock apparently to reallign himself (WHAT AN IDIOT DRIVER!!!) and he fell off the dock. Thank goodness there is a roll-bar on those forklifts. He has a headache and will probably be stiff tomorrow, but says he is okay. They sent him for a drug test. It's their policy if someone has an accident at work. 2. Feeling much better. I'm about 75% well now. Still have a cough and some sinus issues, but I think I'll survive. 3. Spending today with Kaleb & Kaitlin. 4. Having such good kids. Leeker's just called Kaitlin to see if she'd work longer hours today. They have a lot of employees out sick. She was supposed to work 4-8, but volunteered to work 2-9. Here's a pat on the back hon! 5. Enjoying some Josh Groban music. 6. Cleaning out my file cabinet and getting ready for 2008. I know, I...
