What else could happen?

Just when we think we have weathered most of the storm another round beats down. Many of you know that Dan's dad died 5 days before our wedding in May. The last few weeks of May we traveled around for the memorials and dealt with things as they came.

This week, we got some terrible news from my uncle. I'll keep it private but there are a lot of emotions involved and we have been dealing with all of that this past week.

Today my mom called and said my grandfather was in the hospital following a collapse. He has neglected his health for years and is not in renal failure, has a suspicious mass in his chest and just looks downright terrible. My mom drove up from Corpus and as we headed back from the hospital my dad called to tell us that his mom, my sweet, sweet grandma from Del City (whom many of you have met) is also in the hospital and has been for the past ten days! No one called us! To top it off she was only four doors down from my Granddad and we didn't see her!

So, tomorrow morning we'll be up there rotating between two rooms with two loved grandparents struggling for health.


Please pray. It doesn't look good for either of them but only time will tell.

Thanks

I want free stuff

Okay, I think I am turning cheap. I WANT FREE STUFF!

I am signing up for all kinds of contests and coupons.

You all can help and I'll share my prizes. If any of you drink Coke Products, I would like to have your caps! They have codes inside that get points towards prizes. Soooo...maybe you could save the codes for me and we can all watch the movies I get to rent for free.

Okay? Sounds like a plan!

Enormous Savings!


I am having a fantastic day! You know those days when you just get a lot of errands done and you feel free? I mean, I got paid on Friday, spent no money this weekend and am now broke because of my bill paying but I feel fabulous!


For those of you outside of Norman, it was 110 degrees yesterday. I felt my face literally melting off! Dan and I are housesitting at my Aunt Karen's and the pool water evaporated by 2 inches! That is huge! We still swim!


For other exciting news...since Monday I thought the wrought iron bars outside my office window were loose and clanging in the wind but in all actuality it was a skunk climbing up the window to try to escape the drain. He has been in there all week...who knows. Dan and I put a board down there to see if he would climb out of it. He sniffed the board and then went back to shimmy up the window and attempt to get on the ledge. What dumb, smelly animals.

We thought he was all alone but another skunk comes out from under the fence around the air conditioner to check on him every 20 minutes or so. Eww..I think Kels should take care of them old west style...if you know what I mean.

And now for my enormous savings. Okay...maybe I am an idiot but I have never been too good at finding the books I need for school online but today, after seeing the money I would need to buy my books from the University Bookstore I wanted to cry.

$165.00??? Yikes. For 5 books? Yikes! So I went to Amazon.com and got them all for $63.00!!! Yay. I saved $102.00!

I should take myself on a shopping spree! Or pay more bills! So, children, if you believe in father Christmas like your uncle billy, buy your festering turd of a bookload from Amazon and stickittotheman!

Ewww?


Uh...this is cute or gross...or something odd. In Ohio there was a two faced kitten born with two noses and two mouths that meow at the same time. Weird.

In love with Mozilla

Okay...so I am in love with Mozilla Firefox! You all should get it! You can have multiple pages as your home page and if you click on the "getting started" button you can download a bunch of add ons that make Mozilla even more fun.

I have colored tabs witch helps me see my pages more clearly and a thing called "Stumble Upon" which is basically a button you push to take you to some top rated sights according to what you tell it interests you. I found some really weird stuff and some really fun stuff.

Here ya go.

Mysterious Game

I played with this for an Hour.

Learn your world geography.


I got a bunch more cool ones at work but it'll have to wait until tomorrow.

Happy Independence Day!
