Isn’t life great? Sometimes change can really and truly suck but other times change is fantastic and exciting. The one thing you can count on in life is change and for that I am grateful.
I am loving my job. I worked 48 this week but it was so much fun. I work with teens/pre-teens in a psychiatric care facility and I fell in love with each and everyone of those kids. Some are barely teens and some are not even teens. I think in the past when kids became mentally ill, society would give up on them. It is amazing to see how much the world has changed and actually tries to help these kind of kids to give them a normal life. I have hope in humanity.
Another change is that after 15 years of the Non-Television clause in the Daphnewood household, we are getting cable. Animal Planet, Cartoon Network and ESPN oh my! Why would I change my mind after all these years? In a nutshell: fiber optic internet aka FiOS. I know some of you are already blessed with such extravagant features but poor Daphne has to use DSL right now. Our area is just now getting the service and out of 4 houses on our street, we are one of them that can receive it. BUT and I do mean a great big ol’ BUT, you can’t order the internet portion without the TV part. So that is how I got roped into it. I can technically cancel the TV part after 30 days but I know I will be too lazy. So on tuesday I will be hooked up to serious internet speed. whoohoo!
Something that has NOT changed is my computer situation. Mr. D just hasn’t been able to get to it but I really haven’t had time to use a computer this past week so no big loss. Everyone tell me something fun (or not very fun) that you have been doing lately. News! news! I need news!

I despise TimeWarner and can’t wait to get my DishNetwork back. …but I’ve had a love affair with RoadRunner cable internet for almost 6 years. Lucky in that I could get RR without TW’s crappy cable.
Went to waterpark today (America’s #1 waterpark). Both kids chicken’d out of the good ‘tame’ tube rides. We all had a blast anyway.
Looking at NY trip for me and X during NY Marathon weekend. Thinking it might be good time to officially re-propose.
I just ate a BlueBell icecream samich. (Got those up there?? LOL!) Yum!
Creating new phone ringers with GarageBand’08. Downloaded Life Is A Highway to phone’s main ringer.
Glad you are enjoying new job. Peace!

Not on the fertility-go-round this month. I couldn’t take the ups and downs. I’m teaching bible study at our church for 6 tuesdays in a row. I’ve lost 4 pounds in 3 weeks. Haven’t heard from Mindy since school started.
I am so happy that you’re loving the job. And don’t get rooked into watching stupid TV shows!

I spend hours on the Internet, endless hours. In my free time, I work. And I’m interning for Rudy Giuliani

Hmmm…I have so much news that I can’t manage to give any specific news…but I am back to full time work after my time on Tristino. Oh, and Tristino was defended well, giving me yet another degree that probably won’t get me a better job. *sigh*

It was so sad to see Craig Biggio’s career come to an end. I been watching that kid since I started college. Guess he ain’t a kid any more. What a guy. He ran a victory lap around the stadium, stopping to shake the fans hands and say goodbye. There was a nice video run at the stadium. I am kicking myself for not attending.
How you doing? Can we see some of the fast internet in action now.

It’s a blessing when you love work and you feel loved there.
Have a nice day
