No Excuses Here

If anyone still bothers to check, I am alive and well and living in Midwest City. I have no excuses for not keeping up with my blog, yes I have been busy, but so are you, yes I either have to much to say and am overwhelmed by the task, or don't have anything interesting to share and am bored with my own life. I will share the top five 'events' in the last six motnhs and make a vow to do better in 2007.

1) No job to part time job to full time job (more money, less time)
2) Family vacation to Atlanta, grown up cruise with in-laws--enough said
3) Oldest daughters birth mother appeared out of nowhere to make contact
4) Polyp Removal (sexy, huh?)
5) Band Booster (husband pres, me first lady)

Meanwhile...back at the ranch...
