Happy Birthday to my niece (on Gary's side), Madison! I hope you have a very happy birthday! See you soon!
It was a busy week at work. The volume is down, but we are light on staffing, so it really doesn't feel any different than January. I can't believe it is almost March!
Not much else is going on . . . I'm off to do homework and try to get some laundry and cleaning done!
I'm still waiting for some Gary stories! I did not realize the site was only allowing registered members to post comments. I fixed it, so anyone can post. If you post anonymously, please put your name at the bottom, so I know who it is from!
Have a great weekend!

Happy Birthday Bobbie and Nikki!
Happy Birthday to two of my cousins: Bobbie and Nikki! I hope you both have a great day!
Not much else is new. I'm not sleeping well these days and work is still stressful. Other than that, the "real" accounting class started yesterday. I passed the other one (it was pass/fail since it was a pre-req). I'm looking forward to the weekend and being able to rest . . . at least that is the plan for now!

Thank You
Let's see how may titles I can pull from Led Zeppelin songs . . . LOL
Today I received my annual review. It was awesome! I cannot tell you how different it was from last year. I am so grateful for having a boss that truly appreciates hard work. The way I feel about my job today is a complete 180 degree turn from last year. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I also wanted to share a story from the past. It is in memory of my sister-in-law who passed away. She battled breast cancer for almost two years. Long before she was my sister-in-law, she was my friend from junior high school. There was this time that I stayed over night at her house. We managed to sneak out . . . We thought we were slick. So, we get out of the house and you would think we have some big plans, right? No, we end up walking around and hanging out in a parking lot! Back then, though, we thought we were something! Climbing back in that window was a $&%#@, but we did it! The really funny thing is that a couple of weeks later, she snuck out, but since no one was staying over, her mom came to see what all the noise was a caught her! I really gave her heck about that!

Dazed and Confused
I don't know where to begin. I found out some bad news tonight and am not sure what to do about it. Someone I love is suffering right now, but does not want my love and support. Someone I loved has left this world and would not speak to me for the last two years. My family is broken, but everyone is too stubborn to fix it. I do not feel guilt because I do not feel I did anything wrong. I just wish that things could have turned out differently for everyone involved. I hope now that the suffering is over for the one, that the truth has been revealed in Heaven. I wish you peace.

Gettin Ready for the Weekend!
This week was definitely different than last week! Superbowl has come and gone! Other than some billing issues, there wasn't much to talk about!
Elijah has two birthday parties to go to this weekend. Next weekend is another one! He's turning into quite the socialite these days!
My pre-req accounting is almost over. The "real" accounting starts right after. I thought we would use the same book, but they shipped me another! Two accounting books? I'm a little nervous!
Happy birthday to my nephew (and Godson) Nicholas! His birthday was yesterday. I hope you had a great day!
Have a great weekend!

It's February!
sAnother week! I didn't think I would make it through Superbowl week, but I did! Hopefully next week will be normal!
I finished my management class and got an A! Now it's accounting time! Between the three week pre-requisite, the eight week class and a break for Easter, I'm committed to accounting for the next twelve weeks!
Have a great weekend!

You know what the nice thing about January is?
It's almost over! Sorry to those who like the month, but I always dread it. It's busy at work and I am recovering from the emotional rollercoaster called December. Hopefully February will turn things around, but I'm still convinced we are not done with snow around here!
My class ends at midnight tonight. I'm 50 points away from an A. Cross your fingers. The class was great, but it was definitely more 'taxing' than the last one. Accounting starts tomorrow. It's a pre-req, so it's pass/fail and only three weeks long. I guess it is going to prep us for the accounting class that follows.
Three months to Florida! Who is going with us?

How Many Days until the Superbowl . . .
I'm not a big football fan, but I am counting the days until it is over! It was a crazy week at work now that everyone knows who is playing!
A friend of mine suffered a loss this past week. Her nephew lost his fight with complications from birth. He was about three months old. Please keep her and her family in your prayers.
My class ends Monday. The next one starts Tuesday. Wish me luck!
Don't forget to post comments! I am still looking for some Gary stories! Please!
Enjoy the rest of your weekend! Happy belated birthday to my Uncle Herbie (it was yesterday)!

Happy Birthday Aunt LeeLee!
Today is my Aunt's birthday! I hope it's a great day for her!
Another week is gone! I had jury duty on Wednesday in Downtown Detroit. I didn't end up on a jury, but it was quite an experience! I also got an A on my paper! Ten days until the class ends! It's still busy at work, so I never feel caught up there! Have a great weekend!

Help Me Out Here!
As I'm getting used to doing this, I realized that it is time to ask for some stories. I need some on Gary. Please share . . . I really want to do this for Elijah. Also, on the subject, I started a scholarship fund in Gary's name via Tau Kappa Epsilon Foundation. If you feel like giving, here's the link. Donations are tax deductible and it will help other Tekes (and hopefully Elijah) in the future!
Thank you!
Thank you!

Another Week in 2006 is History!
Well, I made it through another busy week at work! It had some crazy moments, but overall it wasn't too bad. Things are coming together for Superbowl. Someone I work with had some bad news about her mother's health. Please pray for her.
School is coming along. About two more weeks and this class will be done. It's paper writing time . . . big time! Wish me luck! After this class starts a couple of accounting classes.
Three and half months to Florida! Yahoo!

Happy Birthday Uncle Kenny and Elvis!
Another birthday! My uncle shares the same day as Elvis. I called him up in Cheboygan to wish him a happy birthday. They still have a foot of snow up there!
Today is also the anniversary of my first date with Gary. He took me to Les Miserables. It's hard to believe how fast time goes. It makes me a little sad because I miss him very much, but I am trying to remember the good times.
Other than that, I have a paper to write and am seeking motivation. We'll see how much I accomplish as the week goes on!

Happy Birthday Pops (aka my father in law Chuck)! Elijah and I tried to call him, but got his answering machine. He is quite the traveler. Hope your day is great!

The end of a crazy week
December is so slow at work, you are happy to be busy. Then comes January. You wonder why in December you wished for this time of the year. I had 12 voice mails before 11 am one day!
Today I took my son for his 4 year check up. A new stress. Unlike previous annual checkups, we had to experience having his blood pressure taken (it took 3 times to get it right). Then an eye test. Instead of letters, they were symbols. He got bored after being asked to read it twice then two more time -- each with one eye closed. Then they tell me he needs to put on a gown for the exam. That did not go well to say the least. We ended the appointment with three vaccination shots. Needless to say he is probably emotionally scared for life and I found myself making a note to do this at the end of the day next year and to have a cocktail after . . . or at lead take a nerve pill before going!
In between all that I have to work in time for homework and time to work out. Guess what is at the bottom of the list!
No matter how crazy this week was, I have to give thanks to God for all the blessings in my life.
