Autumn just called me to tell me that Aidan got invited to join the Cross Country team at Hite! This is AWESOME because in order for a Kindergartener or 1st Grader to get on the team they have to be invited based on their half-mile time. I'm so proud of him!!!

Feeling good...got back in my running shoes this morning and ran 2.24 miles through around my neighborhood.http://bit.ly/lsJR7k runningmap

Autumn, Aidan, and Liam are all sound asleep and I'm WIDE awake...catching up on the first couple of seasons of Southland, and maybe even read some of my old PC World magazines. ...relaxing!

We're going to take the boys to the Balloon Glow tonight...going to be fun! http://bit.ly/mgZuee Anyone want to try to meet us there?

We're 7 days into the 40 days and 40 nights of rain! enoughisenough

Another night of storms = another restless night in our house. Can we PLEASE get a break, mothernature? itsgoingtobealongday

After further research, this is the kind of amphibious vehicle that I have in mind if this rain and flooding keep up: http://bit.ly/glRRUS

It's going to be a LONG day...woken up this morning at 4:55 AM when the fan in our bedroom turned off from a power surge. drinkingcoffee

Another beautiful day in the 'Ville, and my last weekend of vacation. REALLY enjoying the time with Autumn and the boys! Going to make the most out of the last couple days we have left until we head back to work/school on Monday. Make it an AWESOME day!

First time Matt Howard touched the ball, Aidan says, "Whitey's got the ball day...go Whitey!" He cracks me up! MarchMadness GoButler

Enjoying a much needed vacation...my first time off of both jobs since August! relaxing

Just tried watching "District 9" via Netflix streaming...way too weird for me! I won't be surprised if I have strange dreams tonight.

One of the great things about a vacation...afternoon naps! naptime

I love the big whitey for Kentucky...Harrellson is the MAN! I'm starting the cheer now, "GO BIG WHITEY!"

Random Windows Rant

Just wanted to vent my frustration with Windows...although Windows 7 is a drastic improvement over previous versions of the Windows operating system, there's still the dreaded "blue screen of death" that you frequently see. Case in point: yesterday I was working with a rather larger flat text file (roughly 1.5 GB), when I tried to open it in UltraEdit, which it has done without problem plenty of times before, Windows just shut my computer down! Thank God for Dropbox, or I would have lost everything I've worked on over the last several years. But, now I've lost more than a half a day of productivity and will need to play catch up when I finally get my laptop back from our IT department.
