HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Happy Birthday Dad and Abbi!

Ying & Yang

I think balance and harmony are some crazy things and difficult to establish in this life. I sometimes wonder about my balance and harmony and have had a difficult time working through the balance and harmony of some of my dreams and desires.

I would love to live in the bustle and excitement of the city but I would also love to live in the peace and tranquility of the country. I would love to have an expensive automobile like a Austin Martin, BMW, or Mercedes but I also enjoy the redneckness of an old truck or jalopy. I love the excitement of a big party but I also love just kicking it at home where it is quiet watching ESPN. I like classical music with its artsyness and beauty but I also like rock 'n' roll for its raw emotion and outright crazyness.

I'm not sure if these confessions make me indecisive, a trend follower, unbalanced, completely balanced and in harmony, or possibly something entirely different. Whatever it is, I guess I'm it.

Work Break

At work I am often found taking out the trash. Our neighboring store is Linen&Things and they often throw away "damaged" materials that I think are worth saving. Often times my co-workers and I will save these items from the trash and take them home as valuable prizes. I'm not sure how people would feel about this practice but this picture says it all for me.

March Madness

I have always loved watching the NCAA basketball tournament in March and keeping up with all of the upsets, blowouts, and close calls. But this year I have been busy with work and with other stuff and have not had the chance to watch a single game all the way through. I initially thought this would drive me down into a deep depression but so far I have been doing okay. I guess it is a good lesson to learn that while we may think that there are some things that we can not live without, in actuality we can do fine with out them. But I still plan on catching as much of the action as I possibly can.

Congratulations to Abbi!!

This last weekend my sister Abbi was engaged to be married in June. I am so happy for her and her hubby-to-be Chad. Chad is so lucky to have won the heart of a girl like Abbi. They seem so happy together and I wish them the best through out all eternity.

South Towne

I have received my work assignment and I have been given the Logistics Manager position at the South Towne location. I am really excited about the group of employees they have there and I feel like I will have a great time with the management team there. From now on Sandy will be my second home.
