Tuesday Ramblings

Feliz Cinco do Mayo! Matt has his first interview at the hospital today for a day position. I haven’t heard anything official yet, but I’m sure he will do great! We both really want him to get this. PLUS, he would be working with residents if he gets the job, which he would be really good at.
I have been learning a new software package at work, since we have temporarily run out of airports. I miss them! This new stuff is hard to get the hang of. But it is good to have a little break for a while. The next batch of airports gets started next month and then I’m not sure how much time away from the office I will have. There is a lot of work there. I have a business lunch and dinner with the main client for the big airport project on Thursday which I am very excited about. Hopefully some good networking will be done there. It’s always great to know who I am dealing with and working for on a personal level.
On the home front, we are going to have another friend come visit this weekend. Matt’s buddy (and mine) Marcos is going to be out here for a bike race, so he is going to stay with us. We are very excited for this. Once I get my class finished up and can get the house a little cleaner, I will be 100% ready for him to be here!
Today when I talked to Matt on the phone, he sounded a little exasperated about Perdi. She still gets into everything like a little kid. The funny thing is that Pongo was telling on her. He would go up to Matt and wag his tail, even though he knew Matt would be leaving for work soon. When Matt would go find Perdi, she would be getting into something bad. So everytime Pongo did that, Matt knew Perdi was up to something. Dogs are so funny! I love how mellow and obedient Pongo is now…he’s so much like a well behaved person. I can’t wait til Perdi gets to that point.
Well, I’d better get started on school stuff. It will be so nice to have that finished until the fall!

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...
