Cheesecake!

Yes, Corby made a cheesecake tonight! It's actually for me to take to work tomorrow, for my friend's birthday! He makes awesome cheesecakes, and since they are so rich, I rarely have him make them for us at home. Heck, none of us need the calories! Anyway, it's a chocolate chip cheesecake with a brownie crust. My mouth is watering just thinking about it! I'll have a small piece tomorrow, and then let Cindy take the rest home.

The kids met me downtown today so Brandon could open a checking account at Intrust. We closed out his account at Emprise last week, because they don't have banks in Manhattan, and Intrust does. In fact, Intrust has an ATM in the K-State Student Union building. He should get his debit card in about 10 days, so he will be set.

My latest book is Sunrise, by Karen Kingsbury. She is a wonderful Christian fiction author, and has written several series that I have thoroughly enjoyed. The latest - the Sunrise Series - continues the lives of characters from her Firstborn Series. Sunrise is the first book in this new series, and although I've just started it, I can tell it will be as good as the others.

Today's quote comes from the late Christopher Reeve: "A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles."

Today's music recommendation is the CD "Eyes Open" by Snow Patrol. I am really enjoying their music! If you're a "Grey's Anatomy" fan, you will recognize the song "Chasing Cars".

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

Isn't This Gross?

Corby lets Muffin drink out of his milk glass. Isn't that disgusting? I love animals, but I sure don't share my drinks with them. YUCK! Brandon will be home tomorrow - on his 19th birthday! His last final is at 12:30. Corby & Kaleb are headed up to help him bring his stuff home. I was planning on going, but because Hope is out on medical leave, I can't take off. That's okay - I really wasn't looking forward to carrying his stuff down 7 flights of stairs! YIPPEE - MY BABY IS COMING HOME FOR THE SUMMER! Does anyone else out there love "House Hunters" - the show on HGTV? For some reason, that show grabs me. I like to see the 3 houses the couples (sometimes singles) choose from. Of course, most of them have a lot more money than we do! Saw one last night that was a young couple in Chicago - lived in the inner city, but with 2 kids decided to move to the suburbs. Their goal was to find a house for under $1,000,000. That a million dollars folks! How can peop
