Katy's Happenings....

     Yesterday, I started my book that I got, Hatteras by Alice Wisler. I waited until after supper to really start the book. Once I started it, I had a hard time putting it down at 11 last night when it was time to go to bed. I also started it back up this morning for about 30 or 40 minutes while drinking coffee. James asked me, “Why don’t you just savor it for a bit, instead of reading it all at once?” I think I get that from my mom. She was always reading books. I dare say she read at least 4 or 5 books a week if not more. It was rather appropriate that the last few years of her life she had a bookstore for used books. I also worked on cleaning out our closet, yesterday.. I can at least get into the closet and find stuff now. I plan to hang up some pictures and finish straightening some stuff up today. I took some Motrin in hopes to getting rid of my headache that is brewing. I usually take Excedrin but am out of them at the moment. Maybe...

      Yesterday was a fun day; I went and did some errands. I checked out some stores for sales etc. Then after my interview that I had I came home and kidnapped my hubby and we went to Applebee’s to get the 2 for 20 deal. I love the two for 20 because you get two meals and an appetizer for 20.00. I usually get the steak and baked potato. Anyone that truly knows me,  knows that I love baked potatoes. I don’t know why, but I have since I was a kid. Anyway, when I told the waitress I would like a baked potato instead of the mash potatoes and green beans she informed me that they DISCONTINUED the baked potato. I was like dumb founded. If I hadn’t been so hungry I might have even grabbed James and gone down the street to Outback instead! I kept the urge to myself and ordered the mash potatoes instead. I grumbled to James that this was definitely blogging material. It was still a nice dinner and afterwards James and I went to Books a Million and found some book...

     I was talking to Justin the other day about this and that. He made a comment about how 2011 will be a better year. It is interesting to hear him as well as others comment about how the NEXT year is going to be a better year. This year was ok…but NEXT year will be better. The next year always gives us a chance to do something more or something better. Justin said that he wanted to take up 5 new hobbies this next year. Five hobbies seemed like a lot of hobbies to take up even if you have 12 months to do it. It seems like most people take up maybe 1 or two hobbies a year.  One of our hobbies as a family in the past has been Geocaching. To learn more about Geocaching, you can go to www.geocaching.com and find out more about it. Simply put it is a high tech way of doing a scavenger hunt! We had fun doing this as a family. The only thing that James and I have found that we didn’t like about it was that when you found the Geocache most of the...

      Ok, so I have been a little lax on blogging this past year. I have seen my ways and have decided to write something on my blog for 15 min. Right now I am out of school until the 30 th of Dec. At that time I will start another program, this time for Curriculum and Instruction: Reading. I have always been fascinated with the process of reading and now I will dig deeper into how it works. Tomorrow I have an interview with a company that works with children and eye therapy. This is another fascination I have always had since I have always struggled with problems with my eyes.    One of the stories that James still tells is the first time I took him home to meet my parents. It was raining I think and we had freezing rain. We were driving from Houston, Texas to Corpus Christi, Texas which is about a 3 hours drive. James was getting tired after a long day and night from working security and asked me to drive his “Blue Goose”. I d...
