Absent

Did you ever go to school with someone who when the teacher called the roll, would say present instead of here? That was the person I always wanted to smack. I don't know where that thought came from, I guess from being absent. I'm so sorry for being absent for the last few days. I don't know what has happened. I will try to get everyone caught up.

My trip to Lexington was interesting. I am going to have to get braces again in May. I had braces 20 years ago, boy that should be fun. I need to realign my jaw so the disc that cushions the joint will go back into the right spot and not pop (click)when I open or close my mouth. It is wearing braces for a while or wearing a night guard during the day for the rest of my life. The braces won't be too bad. I did at least find and shop at a Target while in Lexington. I love Target. I wish we had one closer.

Last Monday and Tuesday I attended the UK Tax Seminar. That was 2 wasted days. It was extremely boring, but it is nice to learn all of the tax changes for the upcoming tax season. It was boring, but entertaining. I have two funny things that happened. The first day I sat by two people I did not know. One was a nice man from Paducah and the other a strange woman. As we started the first morning, about 5 minutes into the first speaker...I hear snoring. Loud snoring. You can't help but look when you hear snoring that loud. It was the woman next to me. The really funny thing was, she was not asleep. Her eyes were open. She just had a breathing problem. She did it all day. About drove me over the edge. Then there was this man in the row in front of me. He was looking through a big stack of resumes. I guess he was trying to decide who to hire for tax season help. He smelled the resumes. I don't know if he was a pervert or if he was sniffing out smokers. I don't know, but it was funny.

Wednesday, Bailey and I worked at the office. I've got a little estate to work on. Estates are nice. It is pretty easy work and I make 1.5% of the total estate. So even when it is a fairly small estate, I can still make a chunk of change.

Thursday and Friday I cleaned house and caught up the laundry. Friday night we went our to eat with Todd and Jodie. That was nice to see them and get caught up. Saturday, was a party day. Macy had a rollerskating birthday party to attend. It was fun. Then I had a Christmas get together with my high school friends. My friends aren't in high school, but we went to high school together and are still friends. We had a great time. We sat and told stories from our past. Man, have we had some fun. We did do a little man bashing and our visits always include some sex talk. Who's getting it, who's not, who wants to, who doesn't. We had a really good time.

Today was church. We are watching a really funny video in Sunday School. I am enjoying it. Then I had a real nice nap on the couch. I did a little TV watching. I have always loved The Learning Channel or the Discovery Health Channel. I love the real life surgeries, E.R. traumas, etc. They never gross me out. Today Dr. 90210 was on. I love to see the before and after pictures of plastic surgery patients. Today I got grossed out. They were doing a nose job and had to break some bones in this womans nose. I couldn't watch. I guess I am not as tough as I used to be.

Everyone, have a good week and I will bog more often.
