Lots about nothing.

So, here I am again. A bit exhausted from the last couple of weeks. I have been extremely busy at work and at home. I can hardly believe that it is almost April now. Where did the time go? I just got a card from my mortgage company congratulating me for the one year anniversary from closing on my home. WOW! One year already??? I have been in Omaha for almost 3 years! It's difficult to fathom that I've survived 5 years in the Midwest. It ain't all that bad...

So anyways... I won 3 bucks on the powerball last night :-) I never win anything. By the way, I spent five dollars on tickets...

My sister Ericka is coming on Saturday night from Costa Rica. I can't wait! She is not only my sister, but she is a great friend as well. It will be a fun visit. Even though it is supposed to snow quite a bit. Of course, I take a few days off from work and it has to snow. Stupid Murphy's laws.

I am going on a seminar to Kansas City in a couple of weeks and going to Texas the week following that. I am truly freaking out because this is the first time that I will be leaving the dogs in a k-e-n-n-e-l (we'll call it puppy camp). I am having a hard time thinking about them not being with me. I think they will be just fine, it's more me that I am concerned. I have a hard time trusting people with my boys. They are dachshunds and they are very prone to back injuries and I would hate to see something happen to them while I am gone. My other option is to have the dog walker come and spend overnights with the guys at my house, but that would be 5 times more expensive than the doggy camp. Now I feel how parents feel the first day that they leave their kids alone. Pretty pathetic, I know.

Moving on... Summer is coming up and I am still on my endeavor of purchasing a kayak... I haveen doing all kinds of research and I am pretty excited. I've studied used ones and new ones at the sporting goods stores and I am just amazed in all the different kinds. I think this will be a great hobby and I just can't wait to get back on a kayak again. And to have my own! I will post a picture as soon as I get one.

In addition, I am contemplating the idea of getting rid of cable television in the house. I waste a lot of time watching television while I could be educating myself a little bit more or when I could be actually doing housework. Or writing in here. I just don't know how many TV shows I will be able to take. It will be very hard to give it up, but I grew up without it and I think I should be just fine. We'll see if I actually do that or end up getting TiVo. There is a fine line on a decision betweem those two.

OK, that's a synopsis of what is going on my head right now... I better get back to work.
