:: On any given, normal workday, my phone rarely rings. And I like it that way. This morning, I received probably a month's worth of phone calls. I was ready to jump out of my skin!

:: But, the good news is...Chris and I are off on Friday for Good Friday! Just the two of us...I'm looking so forward to our day together!!

:: We had severe wind here today...it was so bad, the air was brown. My eyes feel like they are swimming in dirt.

:: The CEO of our company told me today that this annual report is the best we've ever had...I will surely take that compliment! Woo hoo!

:: I walked in from work this evening, and Mimi was standing there with her camera ready to take my photo. Ha! It's a bit odd for me to be on the other end of the camera lens!

:: Today would've been my dad's birthday...he would've been 58 years old. It's weird to live in a world without him. It's also hard to believe that he's been gone for almost 9 years. For many reasons, my dad and I were not on speaking terms when he passed away. We hadn't been for a few years. Being older now, and knowing how soon he would leave us, puts a different perspective on things for me. I would have done things differently. That's why it makes me sad, and a little scared, for Aspen...she is choosing to not have a relationship with her mom, and it's hard to make a 12 year old realize certain things. Like the fact that her mom won't be around forever, waiting on her to change her mind. One day, it might be too late. And then she'll have to live with that. I certainly don't agree with many things that her mom stands for, but I can see things from both sides. I remember being young and thinking I knew it all...boy was I wrong. Life is something that Aspen has to experience on her own...for my part...I wish I could have just one more day with my dad...to tell him that I'm sorry...
