Today is Saturday, a whole week off from school/work has passed. I managed to catch up on my classwork that the professor forgot to upload and now I'm waiting for him to "turn-on" this weeks tests and all the other stuff that we are again behind on. Anyone know how that works if the prof doesn't do his job of telling us what we need on an internet class? And I'm planning to do this again next semester - I'm VERY thankful I'm not having to take another course from him (it's music appreciation and I just needed the one course - he's the dept. head to boot).
Gil has been busy with work and school also. I'm thankful that he is finally getting back on track.
Andy is busy as usual. Work, play, whatever. I'm just thankful he is a big part of my life.
I'm also thankful for all our friends here. Even if my family were close (emotionally) I would still have this "family". They have been there all these years and if we ever need anything, they are there. Maybe it is the distance we live to each other, maybe it's the years we've shared but Andy & my friends are our family. We've lost a few of our "family" to cancer this last year and it has made me realize how special every one of them are, even if I don't tell them.
So I guess that is my ramblings .

March
Time flies the older you get and I'm a believer! Another month has gone without having anything to say. Lots has happened, I think...

- I'm now a demonstrator for Stampin Up so I will have to use SU materials.
- We've had 2 days of snow - the real stuff, not the Texas stuff - wet big flakes, no ice! It's been beautiful. Check out my photos on Flickr.
- I got a new camera & I love it!
- We have a close friend who isn't doing well and that hurts a lot.
- Racing season is starting but had to be postponed a week due to snow.

Thanksgiving Weekend
After being sick for the last two weeks - either a cold or sinuses it's Thanksgiving weekend already! It's been a busy one too. DS came home Tuesday night instead of Wednesday a.m.. That was great since the weather was changing for the worst. We picked him up at his friends house and had a nice visit with them. It was wonderful outside, as we stood and chatted, realizing that the next day a winter storm was coming in. DH and I had an adventure for dinner at the Shrimp Shack a great mix of seafood mexican style. We will have to make the trip back one day.
Wednesday DS and I piddled around the house. I finished up the gift bags I'm making & DS worked on his cars, something I think he misses being away at school. We did clear the garage from the T-Bird we were storing for a friend. He finally got it back, whether he was ready or not. Only a few race cars to get rid of and we may actually have a car/person! Thursday wasn't much more exciting. DH & DS worked on the retaining wall and finished it up. It looks really nice & I guess now I go to work landscaping it and the dry creek bed. Pictures will follow - eventually. I cooked a nice "small" Thanksgiving dinner, turkey, stuffing, spinach. Of course, the night before I had made a large batch of chicken stock since DS had requested that too. At least he took some back with him (chicken soup not turkey). We did have lots of invites out but having been sick the last 2 weeks, I didn't want to inflict anyone with whatever I had.
Friday! We went to the Stars game! It's been too long since I saw a live hockey game and it was great! It was the first time to go to the AA Center, first time to ride DART and first time to see the Stars. I fell in love with Hockey when the RedWings and Black Hawks played in Dallas/Fort Worth. We went a a lot of their games while I was in HS & later after I married, we went to the Fire & Ice games at Fair Park. Now I have to watch it on TV and occasionally get a live game.
The rest of the weekend was re-couping and getting ready for the week to come. DS left for school so I will probably need to go clean up his room and find things to give away. Hubby is couch sitting, his knees hurting from the work and weather changes. He's also enjoying his new plasma TV we purchased from my earnings at the speedway.
Things I'm thankful for:
All our friends. I don't know what I would do without them and their support.
My DS. Even though he tries me at times, he's a good kid and tries to do the right thing.
My DH. My best friend, my confidant, my love. I can't believe we've been married as long as we have since we've had such fun. I can't imaging being with anyone else.

I love this card I made today. It's for a good friends daughter who is getting married this weekend. The colors she choose for their bedroom are brown & blue, their bath is black & red and I'm not sure what combination the rest of their home will be. So with that in mind, I designed a card that's atypical for a wedding card, but I think they'll appreciate it...
