Reunion Weekend

Just got back from hubby's 30th college reunion. Had a good time. There was a small group from '75 & '76, but had a good time. Joe P, the alumni guy, announced his semi-retirement. He will go to half time in July. He's the one that has an amazing memory, he remembers almost every student. We woke up to rain Saturday morning, so it was nice. After it stopped raining about mid-morning, the wind started blowing and it was cold. But it was nice and clear and sunshiny this morning when we headed back home. It was nice to get away for a few days, but I was glad to get back home today. Tired! And we have to go to work tomorrow, normal schedule, or as normal as can be! We'll have some pictures to post as soon as we get the film developed. Have to watch the finale of Dancing With the Stars tonight. Otherwise, going to take it easy. E is working, I guess. He was on call at Wendy's but didn't come home after he got off from McDonald's, so I guess he had to go work. He'll be off from both tomorrow. Maybe M can get some applications in tomorrow. TTFN

No Title

Another week is almost done. Dancing With the Stars just started, so I may get a little distracted while doing this.

OK, back to the blog, commercial.

Met P and M at Coronado last night, picked out frames and ordered new glasses. It will take about a week to get them, I think. P took me over to Macy's to pick out a Valentine gift. I found a medium-sized cross necklace that is two-toned, gold and silver. I'll probably wear it for a few days, at least, before I take it off.

I'm back again.

I was working away this afternoon and didn't realize it was time to quit until it was 4:50. I should have left 20 minutes ago! I hate to end a day that way! Have to get home on Thursday night to watch Dancing With the Stars!

Tomorrow will be another busy day, even though the other two will be off. Jn will be in and we'll finish this paper and start on the next. He will be out of the country all next week, so it will slow down a little. At least I'll be able to open the blind tomorrow and be able to see outside a little bit. It turned cloudy today, I think it may be cloudy tomorrow, too.

Back to Dancing With the Stars! TTFN

Another Week Done

Well, this was a long and tiring week. My week doesn't end until Monday, though, and starts again on Tuesday. Doing another color issue, so it takes a little longer to print. I'll be glad to get this one done.

I don't often get on my soap box, but there's something I've been meaning to talk about.

Our state legislature is in a 30-day session right now, which ends in mid-February. It's supposed to be a financial session. Last week some time, it was reported that there had already been 676 bills introduced.

Well, no wonder nothing ever gets done. There are several (maybe more!) "stupid" bills, that, I feel, have no place in our state legislature. There are too many important things that need to be taken care of, rather than stupid things like this. The governor is being ambitious, trying to spend all this money that has come from oil royalties. At least he's smart enough to allocate some of it to fast-track schools in Albuquerque. There are plans for two high schools on the West Side. And we have a bond election on Tuesday for APS and TVI. I think it should be another interesting election, to see how many are actually against this.

Another thing the governor is trying to push, that I'm not sure I agree with is the bullet train between Los Lunas and Santa Fe. Of course, it's going to be done in stages. But the first stage is between Los Lunas and Bernalillo. The most logical would be between Albuquerque and Santa Fe, but when did government ever do anything that made sense?

Then there's the Spaceport. It's to be built down by Truth or Consequences. But wouldn't it make more sense (here we go again) to build it down by Alamogordo and the White Sands Missle Range?

There's some more stupid things that are going on in the city, too, but I have to say I support Mayor Chavez in a lot of the things he's trying to do.

I'm not as into this government thing like my husband is, but he has always made sure that we all vote and exercise our civic right and duty.

We;re watching TVLand this morning, they're running The A-Team. It's been a while since we've seen any of these. It's fun to watch some of these old shows now and then. Just passing the time until game time.

Unfortunately, E has to be at work at 4 p.m., but I think they will have access to a TV and keep an eye on the game. At least P and I are pulling for the Seahawks, I'm not sure about E and M.

Hope everybody enjoys the game, regardless of who wins. Oh, and what about that halftime show? The Rolling Stones? TTFN
