I went to work on the eleventh (the day after my birthday) and I got a very pleasant surprise. My co-workers had decorated my desk area. It was so festive! Melissa said since I wanted to have Qdoba's for lunch they decided to follow through with the Tex-Mex decor! How fun!

There was a sombrero wearing cacti, a large sombrero for me to wear and a set of maracas to play with! Turned on Pandora Radio to play Hispanic Festival music and had a blast!

Here are some photos.






Thanks you guys! You made it a wonderful day yesterday!

Well, I am 42 today! I realized I now know everything!!! However, I have no clue what the questions are. hehe!

I received a card from my parents and it said: "It's your birthday! Celebrate accordion-ly!" It had a chicken playing the chicken dance song! Crazy! So to help you celebrate my birthday, play the video below!



Oh, and I have decided to keep the blog going.

Tomorrow is the big day... I'll be forty-two....

I've been wondering all morning if I have really accomplished much over the past 42 years and am not sure I want to own up to my mistakes and errors. Too many marriages, too many rash judgments.... too many.

I now understand what it means when people say youth is wasted on the young. There are so many decisions I would have made differently if I would have been wiser. However, I would not have the wisdom I do now if I would not have made the errors I had. It's all such a circle....

So, tomorrow I will make my decision as to keep the blog or not. I know there are a few people who read it. What do you think? Is it worth your time? Have you learned anything from it or even enjoyed my ramblings? Tell me! That would be the best birthday gift I could have... direction.

Well, I managed to get so involved in my every day life I didn't write anything the past week or so. There is so much going on. The baby, the wedding, Gulf War, largess, making clothing, web sites, a so much more. I can't seem to keep up with everything.

I had a calendar, but somewhere from point A to point OMG ZZ, I have lost it. If you see it, please tell it to get back to work and come home.

Over the weekend I found myself taking my craft and sewing stuff out of the extra room. I know my son will be in with us soon so I figured I'd get a head start. I took everything out of the under-the-stairs closet and put thing else where. That is where I will be keeping my craft/sewing things. It should be plenty of room. I have pared it down to just sewing, embroidery, beads and knitting. I hope I can get focused on those things.

We decided until Walter moves in we will have a place to store all the historian things (there is so much of it) and put in a futon bed. Don't know if we will ever have over night company, but it will be nice to have a place for someone to stay.

The year is almost over and I have a decision to make. Do I continue to blog when I am able or do I end my blog experience? Have I accomplished what I set out to do? Have I learned anything about myself that is positive and encouraging? If I decide to end my blog, do I end it loudly and with a party or do I allow it die quietly in the night?

So many things to think about....

We came home from our trip to Texas and my husband's computer that we have only had for about 3 months would not come on. He could do nothing to get it to work on. Because of this, he took his old computer that we had lenux on and has been using it. Tonight, it died too.

What the.... I can't believe this. He has to have that computer for the Historian's position. He uses the computer for budgeting, music, writing... everything. Now it's dead - both of them. So now the only computer that works is mine.

I use my computer alot. I do web working, e-mail, journaling, healthy living group, recipes, ect... What do I do? I tell him to take my computer until we can get him one. Well, the problem with that is that we won't be able to do that for a long time.

Why do I do that? Why can't I be selfish? why can't I just keep things for me? What's wrong with me?
