Things have been really tough at work, with a huge project, short timeline and lots to do. But I got it finished (keep saying that I am not going to do that, but I do it anyway...). It is HOT here this afternoon (you will note that I am just commenting, not complaining! When it was cold I promised that I would not complain about it being hot!)
I had an interesting morning today. I am in my car, open the garage door, and it opens, then immediatley crashes back down. Luckily (due to misadventures with other garage door openers in my past) I had not moved my car. I got out expecting to see a broken spring (that happened about 16 months ago and was $200) but it was the bracket that hooks the opener to the door. Looks simple to do, but I have not been able to find a bracket. I looked at Lowes and may have to go to a garage door installer. Hate to pay them to fix it, but I may have to.
I have a new laptop and it has Vista on it. We are going to have to support it at work, so I figured that I would bite the bullet. I have avoided it on purpose for all this time.... So far it is not bad, and the whole system is MUCH faster than my old desktop. I have not put much on it yet, but that will happen. Luckily I have a setup where I can have two machines. Never enough time to do what we want!
I am taking a class with Juliana Coles this weekend, working with archetypes. I can't wait

Wind Farm
They are building a wind farm on the way to my Mother's house. It is on a high bluff southeast of Albuquerque. I am impressed with how slow and deliberate the blades turn, it is almost a dance. I took a short video, but will not be able to upload tonight.
This is my Mother, sister and I. We all have the same chin!

Cutt off all of my hair!
Since it has been hot and muggy for the last week, and I have been down this week, I went and had all of my hair cut off! I am going to try to go spiky, but may not be able to pull it off! Anyway, I needed a change, and this is it!
No picutres yet, as it is too much of a shock!

Fourth of July Celebration and Fireworks watching party
Pamela (our hostess) has a very charming courtyardwith grass, flowers, birds and animals.
After dinner and before fireworks, a large storm blew through and left this gorgeous rainbow behind. It
was a full arc, and very intense, with a secondary faint arc.
The whole group.Saturday, July 04, 2009
Happy Fourth of July
What is independence? Freedom from all laws
or bonds except those of one's own being, control'd
by the universal ones.

I subscribe to Ouotes of the Day
Two of the quotes tickled my funny bone today:
To his dog, every man is Napoleon; hence the constant popularity of dogs. - Aldous Leonard Huxley, 1894 - 1963
Don't accept your dog's admiration as conclusive evidence that you are wonderful. - Ann Landers, 1918 - 2002
I am not a dog owner right now, but have had great dogs in my past!
Quote of the Day is a great free service that you should check out.
