Boring?

I think we lead a fairly boring life now that the kids are away at school. I am still working on Project Life,

a very easy scrapbooking project for 2010. But my problem remains - remembering to take a picture every day.

This week has been very busy at work. My assistant came back after 3 weeks of medical leave, and I was really glad! The best part is, she is feeling better than she was before her surgery, but still not 100 percent. Taking on the supervision of an 11-person department has been challenging, but fun! They may get tired of my constant e-mails, but I hope I'm helping them by keeping them informed about what's waiting to be worked. It's definitely a new challenge for me after 33+ years in the business!

The first three nights of this week was spent watching basketball! KU beat Missouri Monday night, K-State beat Baylor Tuesday night, and the Shockers beat Illinois State Wednesday night. The Kansas teams are on a roll. Right now I am watching the KU/K-State game. Of course, I'm rooting for K-State and Corby is rooting for KU. KU is up 43-37 right now, but there is a lot of time left in the second half.

Corby and I went to see the new Mel Gibson movie "Edge of Darkness" today.

It was very intense, though there were a few slow parts. Gibson remains a moving force in movies. While I am a Lethal Weapon fan, I think he did his best work in Braveheart. Yes, he's had a rough time the last couple of years, but...I still like his work.

Thursday night and Friday we had a pretty good dusting of snow. Actually, it was our largest snowfall so far this winter! We had about 6 inches at our house, though other parts of our area only had 3-4 inches. It was a beautiful sunny day today, so the slush on the roads melted quite a bit. Of course, now my car is filthy!

Today's new music: One Republic's "Waking Up" and Barry Manilow's "The Greatest Love Songs of All Time". Can't wait to load these on my I-Pod.


And today's quote:
To laugh often and much
to win the respect of intelligent people
and the affection of children,
to earn the appreciation of honest critics
and endure the betrayal of false friends;
to appreciate beauty,
to find the best in others,
to leave the world a bit better,
whether by a healthy child, a garden partch
or a redeemed social condition;
to know even one life has breathed
easier because you have lived.
This is to have succeeded...
---Emerson

VACATION

On vacation for a few days (return to work on Thursday)...here's where I wish I was... I plan on enjoying some peace and quiet...and possibly, if I get motivated, getting some cleaning and organizing done in the office area of the basement. We'll see if that motivation arrives (it's not here yet)... Good news for Park City residents...recycling came to town the first of January. We are charged $4.00 month (added onto our already high water bill); but it has lowered the price of our trash pickup. The company P.C. contracted with has a much lower price than the company we use. Our company matched the price, so our trash bills went down (considerably) AND we get to recycle. We can recycle almost all our plastics, newspapers, cardboard, aluminum cans, cereal boxes, glass, motor oil, etc. We've got two big bags to set out tomorrow. Just doin' our part for the environment. We are without hot water right now...our hot water heater needs a new thermo-couple? It's a fair

Fun times with Lenore

While Lenore and Daniel were here, she had a library book panel at the Johnson County Library in Overland Park. So, on Tuesday afternoon, November 27th, Lenore, her friend Rachelle and I took off for KC. We had a great time visiting on the way up and back, and I didn't get tired at all driving! We stopped for a quick bite to eat at Arby's and filled up with gas at QT before heading to the library. It was an interesting panel featuring Bethany Hagen, author of Landry Park, which comes out next year; Gennifer Albin, author of Crewel, which was released a few months ago; and Lenore, whose book will be released on January 15. Here's the panel: Me & Lenore: Lenore & Rachelle: Gennifer, Bethany and Lenore
