"You KNOW!"

This is the response I get to nearly *every* question asked of Logan. Sometimes Hayleah (Logan's mini-parrot) gets on a "You KNOW!" kick, too. While it's very frustrating at times, it's also kind of cute he seems to think I know everything. :)

Me: "What do you want for breakfast, buddy?"

Logan: "You KNOW!"

Me: "No, actually I don't. That's why I asked you."

Logan: "You know, Mom. You know."


This kid seems to know a lot more about me than I do!

I've gone & done it now...

I'm not sure, but I think I may be spoiled for life. I love the ease & convenience of audio books, so now when it comes time to sit down with a physical book, I find myself struggling to get very far in it. I've always been an avid reader, but lately I even struggle to find the time to sit down with my scriptures each day, let alone any of the other books on my growing list of must-reads.

I'm hoping I haven't reached the point of no return. I love my iPod & use it daily, so it's hard to break away to read other things than what's playing at the moment. The only time I ever listen to music on it is either when I'm working out, or when I bump it too hard & it switches itself to music.

I'll have to try harder to find time for some peaceful reading soon. There are so many books out there I can't get via audio books (at least not without paying a fortune), it's taking me a lot longer to make it through them all.

I figure, if this is the worst of my problems, I'm really blessed & I kind of suck to be complaining about it. ;)

It's a no-go

Unfortunately, the big boss at the Grand Desert will not let Dave transfer back to the Harrah's site. They're being jerks about it. Fortunately, Dave's had a few sales since I last posted, which helps tremendously with things. Money coming in is a big relief, for one!

I hope things turn around. He's hanging on to the job for now, but he sure isn't happy to be there. It's not new territory, this unhappiness, but it sure stinks to be in the middle of it!

Crossing our fingers

We're hoping Dave will soon be transferred back to the Harrah's site for his job soon. He's been at the Grand Desert, trying to sell timeshares, for several months now, & it's just not working out. He can't give it away right now & he's lucky to see one couple a day. Some days he has to sit around for hours, only to find out there isn't a tour for him.

Dave can be a very successful salesman, but without people to pitch it to, there's little hope of making money (or even keeping his job if he's not writing business). I wish there was something else out there that has the potential pay like timeshare!

Really putting myself out there...

I'm unveiling another work in progress (like myself) today & wanted to share it with my family & friends. Please go check it out & come help support me in my effort to get healthy again!

Operation: Bye-bye Fatsuit!

Putting myself out there like this has to be one of the most difficult things this private person has ever done, but I need the advice & support of others, as well as some accountability to someone other than myself, to help make this work. Come follow along, as I make my way up this hill (mountain) of my own making! Also, feel free to share this link with your family & friends. The more the merrier!

In a slump

I've been a lazy blogger, I know. I find when a blog idea pops in to my head, I don't have enough time to get it out of there before it gets filed away somewhere in a place I like to call Neverland. That is, if a thought is to be heard from again, it's usually around 2 a.m. & I'm far too lazy to get up to write it down for another time.

I think I'll blame my lack of blogging on the loss of my "Precious" (read: camera). I wish I could take a picture of it to share on my blog, but that would be a challenge even if it was working. If I had a working camera, I'd blog more, surely! I miss the darn thing. Every time I think of it an old Cinderella tune dances its way through my head... "Don't Know What You Got 'Til It's Gone".

I'll try to update about Christmas soon. I bought some cheap throw away cameras but haven't developed them yet. Jordan got a hold of one, so I'm sure those pics will mostly be of the dog, or a dirty sliding glass door, or some dust bunny or other. We shall see! I don't miss the "surprises" of non-digital cameras (what are they called??). I like knowing what I'm getting right when I take it. This winding knobs, hold a button down to make the flash work, throw away camera business is for the birds!!
