Sooner Mazzie Dog is suited up watching the game..

Go SOONERS…!!!!

Last score was 21-17 with a few minutes left in the 1st half…

The 2008 Red River Rivalry.  (I still like Red River Shootout better)

Game takes place tomorrow in Dallas @ the Cotton Bowl around 11am cst.

Of course most will know that I will be cheering for Oklahoma and they better win and keep their #1 ranking in the country.  However, I do believe they will win tomorrow and go on to the National Championship this year…

Go Sooners..

Yesterday I received a letter from my health insurance company claiming I owe them $156.00 for 2 prescriptions that I got in the beginning of the month.  So I take the beating of calling the insurance company today, and wait for 10 minutes on hold just to find out that since my employer switched group numbers (and didn’t save us any money) she proceeded to tell me that from August 31st till September 22nd I basically wasn’t covered.

So insurance phone person said, “well you will have to take this up with your HR/Benefits person”

Oh great…  so I fire off an email…  and the response >>>
“Don’t worry, your not the only one.  I’m still looking into this.”

Sweet I’m not the only one, however I have a letter from the ‘collections dept.’ wanting their money.  Maybe the next time I’m checking out auto insurance quotes I will just get some health insurance quotes at the same time.

Back in high school (yes it has been a long time) I really could have used Zyporex to clear up my acne problems.  I truly think it was a horrible nightmare to keep under control.  In fact at one point I had to go see a doctor cause it was really bad.  But the pills didn’t really help and I eventually grew out of it.  Thank goodness.

It did suck getting made fun of but I see it now as character building.  Did you have any problems you faced back in high school?

Anything but work, lol.  But seriously I have been thinking about cruises.  I have always wanted to go on one.  Back in the day when I had my stint as a travel agent (only lasted 2 years) I have always wanted to experience a cruise.  Now one time in Seattle I was able to tour a cruise ship that was in port, but it never left, lol.  I just think it would be really fun.  See all the different places, and do various things on the ship, I think it would be a good vacation.

However my dream must come to an end.  As I have Celiac Disease, I can imagine that it would be tough for someone like me who has this disease to eat for 7 days on a ship and not get sick.  But it’s always good to dream.  Speaking of dreaming, it would be nice to not have any bills also…  =)

This is truly sad.  A man from Los Angeles, shot and killed his wife, three sons, mother-in-law and then himself.

Snippet of Article:

It’s “a very tragic scene, total devastation inside this home,” Deputy Chief Michael Moore told reporters at a news conference. “Inside the home, officers discovered six bodies, all belonging to the family that lived at this location.”

It really is sad that he felt this was the way out and all would be better this way.  I’m sure he is not the only one having financial issues with the way the market is crashing and all the other “Bailout” plans and banks falling down, etc. etc.

The title says it all.  Despite being tired and not wanting to get out of bed, the morning is beautiful.  After I finally got ready and left the house 5 minutes past when I really wanted to, I decided to stop and get a smoothie (they have a place right by the house).  When I walked out of the smoothie shop I saw a beautiful sunrise.  Of course since I take the camera everywhere I go (well almost everywhere) I started to take some shots of the sunrise.

I really wish I would have had more time to just sit and watch the morning transformation from dark to light.  God really does miraculous things with nature.  I like to cherish moments like these and like I said, it would have been nice to just sit, watch and take it all in.

So a few months ago we set out to make the flower bed out front something other than an eyesore.  So today I figured was a good day to get it finished up.  Not to mention it’s not 1000 degrees out.  So I planted 2 plants (somewhat not even) **I’m not a landscaper** and filled it all in with mulch.  I have to say it turned out pretty good.

Here is a shot of it completed:

How is your Friday?  Of course some that read this, browse over or just drop by might be in your evening time.  Welcome.  I can’t tell you how glad I am that it is Friday.  Monday started off a horrible week.  lol.  I ended up working 8am to 10pm Monday due to some sql server upgrades and emergency updates.  It wasn’t really fun but I can’t help that a drive or 2 went nuts.  Anyways, I’m sitting at work and for the first time in a long time, I’m just reading the paper and checking out some news articles, and mainly checking out the Fry’s ad to see if there are any good deals this weekend.  Browsing through the classifieds to check out the car deals, Harley parts and pet goods.  Sports, well I will just check online for those.

Here are some of today’s front page headlines:

• Making their points, politely [debate coverage]
• Leaders more optimistic that House will back bailout today [Our governments financial crisis]
• Legal dispute may have broad effect on drilling [Grand Prairie, TX - Natural Gas drilling]
• HPV vaccine rule riles immigration advocates [Some Federal Mandate]

And a couple more, and not that you are really interested in them, but since I’m bored and work is going to get busy shortly I figured I would add those in there to kill some time and why not!

This weekend, well no major plans really, just some work around the house and a soccer game to coach.  I might head to the movies Saturday night, not sure yet.

Do you have any plans for the weekend?

Have a good Friday..!!!

After being settled into the new office for a few months now, everything seems to be going pretty good.  Still liking the layout and there are only a couple of minor things to really gripe about.  However the lighting in the office is not to be desired, really.  The fluorescent lights are over powering at times.  The only drawback to this lighting and the layout is the corners do not get as much light as the rest of the office.  I’m trying to figure out a solution to this and I might need to check out maxim lighting.  What would really be cool is the under shelf lighting around the office, now that would be cool.  And it would brighten up the whole desk area as well and then the corners would not be that dark.  I’m going to go pitch that to management and try and get this issue resolved!
