TUESDAY RAMBLINGS......

Today Barack Obama was inagurated as President of the United States. I only caught bits and pieces of the pomp and circumstance on TV but I read the transcript of his speech online and he has some very intelligent (and eloquent) writers. I'm sure he must have gotten a lot of cheers during the speech today. I'm looking forward to a new administration...someone different for a change.

My sister is home safe and well from her trip....got to spend time with Ty and Erika while she was away...we went to last Friday along with our friend Devon (his Mom just had a baby that morning) and we played at McDonald's....we shopped for trading cards and the boys got Transformers. Even toys that "used" to be fun are 'new' and 'popular' again...Ninja Turtles, Transformers, Beanie Babies, Cabbage Patch dolls.

I had the weekend off so I relaxed, organized and cleaned. Sunday I had dinner at Loney's while Dewey stayed home and O'd on NFL football. He's quite pleased that the Steelers are going back to the SuperBowl and we're both interested to see how the Arizona Cardinals will handle being in their first SuperBowl. February 1st should be FUN!!

Back to Work

In the past seven days I've only worked my Saturday 6am to 2 pm shift so it almost felt like I was on vacation.

On Thursday I took my sister and brother in law to Salt Lake City to go to the airport for their 25th anniversary cruise to the Bahamas. They went first to Miami, Florida were it was 84 degrees- we were at 11 degrees! On Saturday when I went to work at 5:45 a.m. I had to chisel the ice off the inside of my windshield...it was 74 degrees in Miami...my sister said "wah"... But, I got to have Tyler sleep over on Friday night and sister Erika spent the night on Saturday. It's been fun so far.

Last night the 12th we went by our friend's the Morgan's...it was Tyler's 7th birthday and we had a gift bag for him and his siblings. He got a WiiFit for his birthday. It was so cool to see a 7 year old want to work out...wish I did!!

My Broncos have hired a new coach, and it's not John Elway. Oh well, we'll give this new guy a look see next season....

BRONCO BLUES

As I true Blue and Orange bronco fan I can't remain quiet about the goings on with "my" Denver Broncos.... Pat Bowlen, the teams' owner, decided to fire the best coach the team has ever had. I know this wasn't our best year(but it wasn't our worst). The firing of Mike Shanahan is going to show up in the dictionary when you look up the word "stupid". My solution is that the Broncos should hire John Elway...even if it's just for one season...and that would make the fans happy. His name is already all over the city of Denver and he's not someone they'd be able to get mad at so easily. After all, he's a BIG part of Bronco history. OK non-football fans, you may resume reading now....

Hmmm, guess which member of this family "forgot" to get their driver's license renewed on their birthday ...NO, my birthday is in March, but thanks for your vote of confidence in my memory ...

his was last November....thank goodness he's a 'very good driver'.

WOW! January 5th and I haven't broken a single resolution, yeah! Oh wait, I didn't make any. Oh well, it's going to be a very ggod year, I can feel it...
