$700 billion!!!

I think that money is down the drain now. Every single day, I've watched my retirement account dwindle. I know they say, "You are still young and it will work itself out," but when you see your total losses doubling what you have contributed for the year, I think it's okay for me to get a little more concerned about this economy situation. The massive drops on a daily basis is no good! I'm waiting to see the effects of that bailout.

On the positive note though, I'm thankful I work at a credit union and not a bank. I will still have a job tomorrow.

Shoes

I realized today... Well, not really today... But I contemplated on the thought more today...

Well, I have a shoe problem. I buy shoes... and shoes... and more shoes...

The positive thing - My feet aren't growing anymore so I don't have to worry about changing sizes.

The negative thing - I don't have any room in my closet for anything else.

My argument for my purchases - Even if you gain any weight, shoes will always fit you. Hee-hee.

A positive and an argument definitely outweigh that negative. I think I need the shoe pshychiatrist...

This is not my shoe closet... Although I would not complain if it was. =)

Report Card Time

Six weeks of the school year have already passed?!? It seems like yesterday, I was sending Dime off to school with bags of school supplies in her hand. I was a little concerned about third grade and all this TAKS stuff. I don't think I ever had to do anything like it when I was in elementary school, so I wasn't and still am not really sure what to expect. I'm relieved though. Diamond has all A's with her lowest grade being a 99. I just pray she continues to do well in school and continues to want to go every morning when she wakes up -- even on the weekends (I have never seen a more excited child at 5:55 a.m.)

So for good grades and good conduct, we went to watch Beverly Hills Chihuahua (and I even got her her own Kid's Meal Pack.) Yes, today I was a nice mommy. =)

It's raining!

It's pouring...
The old man is snoring...

I love the rain!

My Letter L

It is broken on my keyboard! Well, it isn't actually broken, but it's a lot less sensitive than the other keys. I have to jam on it 3 or 4 times before it will type anything, which can get frustrating at times.

I just got this keyboard for Christmas last year and it can't already be messed up. I wonder if the batteries are just dying. That better be it... I use the letter L a lot! Well, I don't really know if I do, but it is one of the most commonly used letters in the English alphabet which is why it is on the row where we lay our hands on the keyboard and one of the letters used in the R S T L N E combination on Wheel of Fortune.

So, letter L key, you better get to working right again!

Another year...

Happy birthday, mom!

Today we celebrated your day. You got to spend time with your favorite people in the world -- your family. I hope you enjoyed your day with wishes of many more to come. We spent the day watching a movie then having dinner at Applebee's with some ice cream cake for dessert at home. It was yummy!

Thank you mom for all you have done for us. You have been there through everything and have supported me in my times of need. Through the good, through the bad, the happy, and the sad, you have continued to love me unconditionally. You're my best friend and I love you mom.

Color of the season

IS PURPLE!!!

It's very exciting because purple is my favorite color... and now I can wear it and be in fashion! Yay!
