New things

Wow what a week. In the last 7 days we have had rain, snow, sunshine, and high winds. We changed months and stated a new year. I started a new job. Actually it is a new career.
It was very cool to be welcomed and have all members of the company be excited to have you there. Today was my first company meeting and it was a great honor to be listed as a highlight of some ones week. I was also a part of some other meetings where I was able to learn more about the people I work with and the things we do. I am so excited to go to Eugene Oregon for training so I can really get to the heart of what I was hired to-do.
TJ is adjusting to his mom being gone a bit more. He is excited about the more money and I am afraid that he may have it all spent before I can make it. He starts school again on Monday and has a field trip on Thursday to see the Boise Philharmonic @ the Swayne Auditorium in Nampa. I spoke with my new boss and she said yes please take the morning off and go with your son. This will be so cool. It is had to think that in just about 5 months he will be 9 years old. He will become a Weblo scout, be a fourth grader, and may be tall enough to loose the booster seat. Wow what a day that will be.
Well this is a short post. I am off to learn more about TCI/IP, PCI Compliance and other way cool technical stuff.
Oh I made some very good BBQ sauce the other day. I’ll try to find the recipe and put it up over the weekend.
Hope you all liked the slide show. I hope the next one will have all the captions with the pictures.

Thanks for reading, let me know how you are.

In Peace and Wellness

In remembrance of the men and women who gave their lives this day at Pearl Harbor, I would ask that you all take an extra moment to say a prayer. This week has been a bit crazy. My work at Boise State University Culinary Arts is a bit more than usual as the third semesters are preparing for their Capstone Dinner. This is a fund-raising event that is a formal seven course event. Lots of work and stress for them and me the one that must make sure that they have all the stuff they need to make it happen. I know they will do a great event. The house has been a sick ward this week, Mom, Dad, and TJ. I have been ok mostly. TJ stayed home from school Thursday and Friday. We are not going to Snow Capades Saturday in McCall, Idaho. I am somewhat glad about not going. At Camp Morrison they are preparing lunch. I called and spoke with the event organizer about a gluten free lunch for myself and my son. It was another situation of educating someone about gluten and how to prepare gluten free food.

Fall 2009

Hello all, TJ is in the 5 th grade and is learning a new level of ownership and responsibility. He is riding the bus and is responsible for getting out the door on time with all he stuff, including packing his lunch. It is hard not to remind him but I know it is the best way for him to learn. So far he as missed the bus once. I find my self doing too much reminding. Some habits are hard to break. Speaking of habits I am at 3.5 months of not smoking. There were a few days last week that were real hard, not sure why. But I made it through with out falter. Jackie is doing well also. We now have only Mike and Doug in our office to join the ranks. Maybe next we can talk Billy into giving up an hour a day so we can hit the gym? Work is still a challenge each week I learn something new or improve on something I have been doing. I have been using an hour or two a day to read and study for the A+ Certification. I would like to take it before the end of the year. I need to stay focused on th

Quick Up Date

We are on pins and chairs waiting for the results of the IQ test for TJ to get in to the gifted and challenged program. He has made huge progress in his ability to stay on task at school. Attitude at home continues to be an adventure. Scouting is still fun and challenging. We are one year from becoming a boy scout. Wow how time flies. I am enjoying my work and the never a dull moment environment of our office. We lost a dear friend and valued team member on January 4, 2009 with the death of Ron Caron. I know that some day or service department will run smoothly again. It may be a long time before that happens but someday it will. My father Stew has joined the Gluten Free world. A bit of a skeptic but recently gave it a test and has proved to him self that the problems on his skin, lack of energy and sinus problems were connected to gluten. My mom Mary and the rest of us are learning about Hypoglycemia. Boy that is more confusing than no Gluten. Together we are being healthier.
