8 things that happened to me today
(I'm using yesterday as it's only 10am as I write this)
1. Started in on re-writes of resume
2. Perused Monster.com again
3. Called Dad
4. Surfed internet
5. Figured out formatting issues with Word 2007
6. Talked with fraternity brother
7. Groomed Coco (see below)
8. Groomed everybody else (jealousy)
9. Ate some chili I had made (too much chili powder! yuk!)
10. Went with Nathan to take Coco to his "forever home", which was 25 miles from here through some of the densest traffic in North America. By the time we were done, Nathan and I were both nervous wrecks.
8 Things I look forward to
1. GETTING A NEW JOB!!!!
2. Getting the house back to "normal" after Coco's departure
3. Learning how to cook the new "breakfast" recipe I just got
4. Learning how to grill steaks as well as Nathan
5. Getting more involved with some of the stuff going on at my church (they have a number of interesting ministries)
6. Surviving the Holidays
7. Football: all the Bowl Games on TV!!! Not to mention cheering on the Cowboys!
8. Possibly attending either the Alamo Bowl or the Houston Bowl or both
9. Did I mention getting a new job?
10. Getting back into a normal routine. One week of unemployment and I'm going nuts.
8 things I wish for:
1. Health, happiness, and peace for all my friends
2. New energy and vigour in Washington to rid the world of the Bush errors
3. A return to prosperity for our country
4. Sunshine. It's been cloudy and foggy here all week, which doesn't help.
5. NO MORE HURRICANES FOR 2009!
6. "Smooth sailing" for Mother and Leroy
7. Ease of transition for Dad and Edwyna
8. Salvaging everything I can
9. To stay in Houston in my house
10. A new job.
If the Razorbacks would win the SEC, Baylor would go to a Bowl game, and the Cowboys would return to the Super Bowl, that would be just so much more icing on the cake.

Love how your 8 Things turned into 10. Was that force of habit? Still cloudy and foggy here. Didn't know you had found a home for Coco.
ReplyDeleteNow you know why Math was never my strong suit...yes, force of habit, I think in 10's, not 8's.
ReplyDeleteCoco has a lovely new home in The Woodlands with a nice couple who lost their dog about a year ago and just now got ready for another. The gentleman (with the delightful name "Ish") loved him almost immediately; the lady had to think about it, but Coco's sweetness won her over. He's got his forever home now and we have our quiet home back.
If you ever need someone to drive in traffic for you, Nathan's your man. We drove to The Woodlands at 5:00 on Friday afternoon, and he handled the North Freeway like a champ. He's a true Houstonian now.
Nathan is indeed a true Houstonian if he can navigate that mess!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that you found a forever home for Coco.
