My Wish

So I know it's been a couple days since I updated this, for which I apologize. Not a whole lot new is happening with us. I've tried to get Matt to write about his thoughts on his new job, but I don't really think blogging is his thing. I'm sure many of the Millards have already heard much about his job by phone. I honestly don't really know much about what he thinks so far, but I think that's because he's just training for a couple weeks. So far, the general comments have been positive though.
The one thing I do want to comment on is how I wished for thunderstorms on Facebook and the past three afternoons have been dark and rainy, just as I like! However, the downsides are:
1. They don't last very long.
2. I can't see them from my windowless cube.
3. They are always overhead when I leave work so I get good and soaked on my small trek to my car.

Oh well. I'm still glad to have them, regardless so I shouldn't complain. Luckily, they have dumped some water on our lawn, which has released us from the pressures of watering for the past couple days.

We don't have any major plans for the weekend. Since we went rafting last Sunday and had to paddle quite a bit, Matt's back is now bothering him on the other side so we will be taking it easy for a while I'm sure. :( I have encouraged him to see a doctor about his back since it's been so long now that it has bothered him, but I don't want to overdo it.

I made a new friend at work and it's actually the ONE other girl that works at Woolpert (who is my age.) She is from Pennsylvania and doesn't know many people out here and is eager to make new friends. I'm excited and hope we can hang out outside of work soon.

That's all for now. Everyone have a great weekend!

Political Aside

I’m going to apologize in advance for making this blog political for today. There is just one recent development I can’t help but post about. Last week, Congress passed a bill that made it a lot harder for credit card companies to take advantage of people through late fees and overlimit fees. Sounds great, huh? This bill would have been a lot better if there hadn’t been a certain “add-on” bill piggy backing on to the credit card legislation, making it legal for concealed weapons to be carried in national parks, as long as they are licensed and registered. Now unless you are going into a national park to shoot condors or bald eagles (which is ILLEGAL!), I cannot think of a single reason why you would need to have a concealed weapon in a national park. It’s not like they are huge hot spots for gangs, thugs and violence. National Parks are set up as a refuge for endangered species and a place where wildlife can live uninhibited. Where a hunting license would be required to shoot wildlife ...

The Power of the Mind

I believe in the power of the mind. It seems to me that a simple thought can solve (or create) many problems. Let me explain. Say you haven’t been sick in a really long time, and you don’t even notice. And just then when you get to thinking “Wow, I really haven’t been sick in a long time,” you come down with a cold. It’s like one little thought can trigger a physical reaction. I had a similar experience at work. My computer software used to crash a lot, which was really annoying. Recently, it has been running well until I had the thought “Wow, this software hasn’t crashed in a long time.” Five minutes later, it crashes. So many of these occurrences have been happening to me lately that it hardly seems like it can be coincidence. Now, if only I could use the power of my mind to figure out my latest programming issues for school…it suddenly doesn’t seem so easy as to “think it in.” Last Saturday morning and Monday mornings, I had to get up at 4 am to let Pongo out. He usually has a bladd...

Interlude: Tuesday Thoughts

One of my favorite TV shows to watch is “Jon and Kate Plus 8”. For those of you who don’t know, it’s a show which chronicles the life of a couple (Jon and Kate) with twins and sextuplets. Last night, Jon and Kate made a big (but expected) announcement. They are getting divorced. Due to all of the rumors in the media, this was not a shock. But I find it ironic that Jon and Kate started doing the show because it was “what was best for the kids.” Granted, it made them a LOT of money and skyrocketed them to fame. But ultimately, and I can only speculate, (they don’t ever really officially say what specifically lead to the divorce) that the fame and money are what dissolved their marriage. Clearly, the show was not really what was best for the kids in the end. I think I am mostly upset about this because I just read Kate’s book “Multiple Blessings,” which was written a couple years ago when she and Jon were still completely in love. I miss that. I really love their story. It was hard to rea...
