Sunny and 70 degrees outside…in December?

Friday, December 31st, 2004

I absolutely love the weather today! It’s 70 degrees at the end of December! And in Oklahoma! I’m wearing a t-shirt and jeans (could wear shorts). I could probably even lay out and tan if I wanted. Although I’m sad that I just bought about 4 new sweaters to stock up for the chilly weather [...]

What did you get for Christmas?

Sunday, December 26th, 2004

What a great Christmas! We had Peter’s family down to our house this year for Christmas – one of the very very few we have stayed in Oklahoma. We had three gift-opening events/parties/food-eating fests – one at our house, one at my sister’s house and one at Peter’s grandparent’s house. All in one day! I’m [...]

Oh, the weather outside is frightful

Tuesday, December 21st, 2004

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! The temperatures are dropping and snow is nearby. What fun! When I was growing up in Colorado, it would snow a lot and we would go out and sled down the streets (not busy streets of course). But sadly here in Oklahoma, we won’t see more than [...]

Budgeting Template

Thursday, December 16th, 2004

I received a comment a few months back asking if I could post a sample budget Excel spreadsheet (based on the famous Dave Ramsey cashflow plan). So CLICK HERE for your very own budget that all you have to do is plug in the numbers.

**By the way, Edmond Church of Christ is offering a [...]

Fantasy Football

Tuesday, December 14th, 2004

So, I joined a FF league this year with some guys from church. Heh, I ended up going 11-3 and winning the regular season. Playoffs are next, and might be a little tough. I’m lucky though, ‘cause my QB Peyton Manning looks to be chasing the all-time TD record next game against the Ravens. I [...]

Christmas Photo Shoot

Sunday, December 12th, 2004

2 hours, lunch at Bennigans and 290 pictures later…we have the most perfect winter photos for our family, taken by none other than the wonderful Judson himself. I LOVE these pics. Judson is awesome! Click here to see the photos (not all 290!).

Up all night

Saturday, December 11th, 2004

Remember Gilbert Gottfried’s famous saying? “Up all night!” Drinking tea, Dr. Pepper and Coke late today is keeping me “up all night.” We have our family photo shoot tomorrow (or rather, later this morning) with Judson and we’re all going to have bags under our eyes! (Peter is up too – playing games of course). [...]

What did I do to deserve this?

Thursday, December 9th, 2004

Wow! Was I ever surprised today. After a morning coffee break, I arrived back to my office to discover a box from ProFlowers.com. I opened it up and there were a dozen beautiful red roses and an “I love you” balloon with a sweet note from Peter that said, “Thanks for all that you do. [...]

Mother of the Matrix case can proceed

Wednesday, December 8th, 2004

I’m betting you haven’t heard of Sophia Stewart. I know I hadn’t until this morning. Apparently, back in 1981, she submitted a screenplay to a newspaper ad by the Wachowski Bros requesting new material. Her copyrighted manuscript, called “The Third Eye” is apparently similar enough to Matrix I,II,and III that a California judge thought it [...]
