Olympic Opening Ceremony

No matter what country the Olympics are held in, I am always in awe of the Opening Ceremony - the creativity, the sheer amount of people it must take to put the tableau on - the pressure to show the best of your country to the world - wow, talk about an ulcer!!! I have to admit, I loved the athletes... Sign in to see full entry.

In memoriam to Nodar Kumaritashvili

As the opening ceremoy of the 2010 Olympics is about to start, the sad news of an athlete's death on his last practice run on the luge has been announced. Nodar Kumaritashvili was a member of the Georgian Luge team, and his father was the president of the Georgian Luge federation. He was 21 years... Sign in to see full entry.

It's SNOWING!

I am in awe at the wonder of God and Mother Nature. It is snowing, really, really snowing. For the first time in my life, I made a snowman, threw snowballs, fell backwards and made snow angels - and yes, stood in the front yard, mouth open, catching flakes on my tongue. I giggled and danced around,... Sign in to see full entry.

The Superbowl

In retrospect, I could go on and on about why the Colts didn't win, or why the Saints did; talk about gutsy on-side kicks; pontificate on mistakes and brilliant strategy, but bottom line, the Saints just played a better game. Period. And to see Drew Brees holding his son just before the presentation... Sign in to see full entry.

the interview

Thanks to everyone who left the encouraging comments!!! The interview went really, really well. I did my best, (wore the suit, and even my hair cooperated - that has to be the Lord's blessing!!!) and know that if this is THE place, I will get the job. Of course, I did get lost going to and coming... Sign in to see full entry.

Tomorrow is my job interview. I need this job. I want this job. But - well, it isn't just a job. It's a career. It's me starting all over. It's me having a skill to be really, really good at, it's something I love; it's me finally getting on my own, my life back, my heart dedicated to the patients I... Sign in to see full entry.

A good day

A good day is being inside a house that is warmed with a fire in the fireplace, and the laughter and love of family, while it is cold, wet and gray outside. It is seeing my twin nieces doing what they love: one playing the piano, the other doing hand-made shower invitations for a cousin. It is... Sign in to see full entry.

...and now a message from our sponsors

As I begin this entry, it must be noted that I am on pain meds, and, based on the last hour of tv I watched, I have to admit, I'm not sure if being drugged wasn't a bad idea. For whatever reason (I have no idea what or why, "just 'cause" works right now), I started keeping track of the commercials I... Sign in to see full entry.

A bad day I need to revisit - and changes that need to be made

I am currently living with my oldest brother, his wife and his two youngest daughters. I am learning a lot about living in someone elses home. If you are the "visitor", even if it's for an inestimatable amount of time, you have to swallow a lot of your own opinions, keep negative feelings to... Sign in to see full entry.

Sorry that your team lost, but I'm celebrating, dammit...

For the entire 2009 football season, I have endured the ragging and ongoing commentary from my family and friends of family, about my favorite football team, the Indianapolis Colts. I have stood my ground and never wavered in my support for Peyton Manning, Jeff Saturday, Pierre Garcon, and Joseph... Sign in to see full entry.
