Fears

My biggest fears...

1. For Dusty's Health. We are pretty numb to his health sometimes because of everything he (and we as a family) have gone through. But I just hate seeing the kid go through more. It is not fair.

2. Heights - I start sweating uncontrollably!! I am fine flying, etc. But even watching someone up high on TV makes me nervous. Eric thinks it is funny!

3. Doing a good job at work. I lose a ton of sleep over this. I wake up and start making lists of things I need to do the next day. It helps now that I am putting in so much overtime now.

4. Fearful of some of the changes coming up in my life. That is all that I will say about it.

New Wheelchair

Dusty is getting a new wheelchair and very proud of it. Kind of hip, huh?

5 reasons I am looking forward to summer

Some reasons I am looking forward to this summer....

Hanging out at the Hula Hut in Austin (June).....

Going to the Spa in Santa Fe (may/june).....

Laying out by teh pool at the Mirage (late summer)

Drinking Margaritas at Abuelos on the patio (all summer)

The Knights of Columbus football kick-off (end of August...Britta we are not missing it this year!)

The Floors

Finally getting some pictures

up of the floors. We are not quite finished painting baseboards and all.

My 3 loves.....

Wes' visit!!

We had a super good time seeing Wes when he was visiting Easter weekend! He has not changed much since high school, huh?

Pet Peeves (topic of the week)

My biggest pet peeves.....


I agree with Britta....slow driving. Or, inefficient driving. People taking the long way somewhere. I guess I am too busy and should slow down.

Talking on the cell phones in restaurants. I try VERY hard not to....but people are trying to enjoy their dinners. It is just not polite. Now if it is a bar type place, that is not as bad.

Not mowing your yard (just come talk to my next door neighbors). Or pulling weeds.

Laziness. Being a boss makes you realize so much how bad this is. We all have to do our share sometimes.

Not cleaning. And I really don't know anyone (at least none of my close group), that does not do this. I am not saying being a clean freak. But generally the idea I can walk into your place and not be grossed out. A good overall cleaning ever now and then will do the job.

Girl's Trip!!

Thinking about the girls trip....can't wait!

5 favorite books

I don't know if these are my five favorite of all times...but some recently read books that I love.


Elizabeth is the story of Elizabeth Taylor. I love to read biographies. It is interesting to see what these people lives were like.








Same thing with Kate. I also read her autobiography but liked this one better.











Casino I have read several times. The movie is good, but the book is better (usually the case).














Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas. It is hilarious.....



















This is one Averi will choose too. It will make you laugh and cry.....it is a must for pet lovers!

Carpet

OK...we ripped up the carpet yesterday. When I come back from Austin this week we will have stained concrete. I was going to take a picture of the mess we made, but didn't have time.

I am sure the after pictures will be worth it (I hope!) I know my allergies will be better because it was nasty taking that stuff up. I will never put carpet down again!

Hard Blog Topic

I think this weeks blog topic was your most embarrassing moment. That will be very hard for me since most of my life has been embarrassing. Luckily there are no pictures to share.

I would think the time I am most embarrassed of would be my teens years in general. How disrespectful I was to people. Very "me" years. Typical teenager attitudes and behaviors. Thank goodness, most of us (hopefully I did) grow out of. I think in general, most people understand but here is my chance to say I am sorry to all of those I may have hurt....

Deep post huh?
