Friday the 14th


TGIF! Today is going to be a great day at work! We have our Divisional Quarterly Meeting, then lunch. This group of people loves to eat and have fun! I brought 2 huge lasagne's, there are 3 more plus a ton of other food! (Including the obligatory carne asada, queso, chips, salsa, etc) How lunch morphed from Italian to Mexican I have no idea, but it seems to happen every time! I guess we could take Texas away from Mexico, from leave the food!!

Last night one of my co-workers and I went to dinner then the Paramount Theater to see "Rockapella" with tickets I had won on the radio. They are 5 men singing without music, except that 1 guy makes percussion sounds somehow with his mouth! He has 2 mics on his throat and constantly making noise into a mic. It was a great show and lots of fun. Chris would have been miserable! Visit this website and listen! They are great!

Another weekend of the Olsens being scattered across Texas! Chris is going to Afton (near Lubbock) hunting, Christy is going to Round Rock to a weekend birthday bash, Amy and I are going to College Station to the Aggieland Swim Meet. I am staying overnight with my friend Deborah Cannon who I grew up with in Utopia. I am really looking forward to spending time with her. I have missed her company.

Back to work......

Friday November 7th - ALREADY??


It doesn't seem possible that it is already November! Where has the year gone? I have a new job at Texas Parks and Wildlife that I LOVE, the kids are doing great, Chris is healthy, the weather is beautiful, what more could we want? Winning the Lottery would give us more to ponder on that. It is Friday afternoon, no one wants to work, including me. Amy is at UT for the AISD Invitational Swim Meet, went her best time this morning in the 50 Free (26.1) and will be in the finals tonight! She had a little wardrobe malfunction in the 100 Free and went 59.05. Considering her booby was exposed half the race, she should have been able to go faster, what with more skin exposed!! I don't think she will see the humor in that vision! Anyway, my friend Mia was on deck taking pictures and got a very clear shot as proof of the "malfunction" so now we have to believe the "excuse" for this race! Next week we are off to College Station for the Aggieland Meet, then the next week to Corpus Christi. I love swim season! Good thing, because it is year round....
