Service Request Filed, Perhaps Too Late For Resolution.

I mailed my gifts for my grandchildren on the 12th. I paid for 4 day shipping. My packages were supposed to arrive last Wednesday. One of the boxes sat in Indianapolis for 3 days and another 3 days in Cincinnati. When I checked at USPS yesterday it said my package was in transit to next facility. If...

Fabulous Saturday! DAWGS WIN! DAWGS WIN!

It was a fantastic game. My guys started out with two quick touchdows. One on their first drive of the game and the second on a turn over created by the defense. Harding got within a touchdown when the score was FSU 21, Harding 14. The final score was 42-21. At the end of the 3rd quarter my guys... Sign in to see full entry.

One Never Knows What The Mail Will Bring, Just Never!

I got a text from my daughter late last night and a letter arrived telling her that based on her Google reviews and other metrics her salon is rated in the top 3 in Boise. Considering Boise is a good size city and her salon is classified as a suite, it's a tremendous accomplishment. What makes this... Sign in to see full entry.

Big Day Tomorrow! Enjoying Today But Tomorrow Will Be Fun!

Tomorrow is the big game for me. My college team is trying to win back to back championships in NCAA Division II football. And, 4 of 5 championships in the last 5 years. Quite an accomishment. When I was in college the football was not even close to the level they are today. No matter because we had... Sign in to see full entry.

This Month Is Cruising Along! Christmas In A Week! Yikes!

I t seems I am always revamping my exercise regime. One of the most critical parts of exercising is to allow time for recovery. It's as important as the exercise itself. I spend every Sunday in recovery except for walking. I get my hour in by walking in increments of 15 minutes plus 8 hours of 250... Sign in to see full entry.

The Year End Reports For the Salon Are Fast Approaching!

This is the time of the year when I have to do the inventory for products, back bar, perms, color tubes, etc. I go over all the expenses as well. As I was perusing the statement from the company that collects money for the business and then deposits it the business bank account. I noticed some weird... Sign in to see full entry.

Tickled On Tuesday. Having Fun With Alliteration!

Today is an awkward day for me. Jessica has a color today so I stayed home. I went to Walmart to pick up fruit for my smoothies. I was still conflicted with my gifts for my brother's family. Last summer I found a signed baseball card of one of my brother's favorite players. We watched him play at... Sign in to see full entry.

T-Minus10 and Counting! Christmas Is Amost Here! We Are In The Home Stretch

I'm getting excited for Christmas Eve and Christmas day. Initially I was a bit forlorn because of the differences with my brother but that is long gone. I attribute my distancing myself to daily affirmations. It is human to let things get in the way that evoke emotions that truly are not healthy.... Sign in to see full entry.

The Weather In The Valley Is Tremendous! Love It!

The temperatures for the next 9 day vary from 47 to 60 degrees. Christmas day is going to be 36 degrees. I know others are experiencing cold temps and snow. I feel badly for y'all but I'm not going to complain. Jessica, Chris and I are exchanging gifts for 12 days of Christmas. The last few years I... Sign in to see full entry.

DAWGS WIN, DAWGS WIN, DAWGS WIN!

I got the game wrong. It was the semifinals for NCAA Division II playoffs. My college won 49-17. It was total domination! The last 40 games they have gone 39-1. I think it qualifies as a dynasty especially when you factor in they have gone to the championship game for the 5th time in last eight... Sign in to see full entry.
