Around the square in style

Closing is near

2009-05-01T18:51:41Z

Well, due to the state of the economy I am having to close my store. I just didn't have enough time to build up before the economy went down hill. So, in addtion to looking for a job I am making preparations to close the door. The last day of operations is May 22 and I must have everthing out of the building my May 31.

I firmly believe that everything happens for a reason!

Bad news

2009-04-08T17:31:47Z

Sorry to those who have already read this through other postings.

I just was informed this morning that an area caller, John Steckman, passed away while out in Arizona. He was one of our staff callers during TAQC last summer. It comes as quite a shock and is such a loss for the challenge community in our local area.

Personally, it was even more shocking and saddening. Stuff like this makes for a very bad morning. If there is a bright side to missing convention, it would be that now I can go to the service on Saturday.

Thanks for letting me vent.

Warm Weather

2009-03-07T17:16:01Z

It has been so nice here the last couple days. It even got in the 60s yesterday, I do believe. Last night was quite balmy. Is spring on its way or is Mother Nature trying to get us to put our guard down so WHAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Convention

2009-02-11T15:55:20Z

Well I just had to make a decision that was unavoidable. Due to financial constraints, I won't be able to make it to convention this year. I was so looking forward to finally getting to dance and getting my medallion, but that will have to be on hold until Chicago.

Slow Down at last

2009-01-24T17:12:47Z

The slow down of life after the holidays has finally arrived. Kenny and I were home to cook dinner every night this week except Friday (I bowl). We got to watch the LWord Season Five Disc 1. We have no plans this weekend or next.

Someone pinch me.

A poem to remember me by

2009-01-20T02:44:03Z

WINTER Poem
It's winter in Ohio
And the gentle breezes blow
Seventy miles an hour
At twenty-five below.

Oh, how I love Ohio
When the snow's up to your gut
You take a breath of winter
And your nose gets frozen shut.

Yes, the weather here is wonderful
So I guess I'll hang around
I could never leave Ohio
I'm frozen to the ground!

Milk

2009-01-19T18:16:26Z

Well this weekend we finally saw the movie Milk. We both thoroughly enjoyed it. There were several very emotional parts that I really had to control myself so I wasn't some loud blubbering gumba. Since I was quite young when all that transpired, I really enjoyed the historical part of it. I learned alot. I am telling everyone I know that they should go see it. We will probably end up buying it when it hits the DVD.

Happy New Year

To all my LJ friends,

I wanted to wish you all a very Happy New Year. I hope 2009 brings ALL of us prosperity, good fortune, great fun and the opportunity to be treated equal.

Preparations

2008-12-29T20:36:36Z

Spent all day cleaning and re-arranging to prepare for our Xmas Eve bash. We will have 22 friends in our 900 square foot apartment. It will be fun but packed. We will have euchre going on in the computer room. Some kind of game going on in the living room. We may even show the convention video. Heavy drinking will be going on in every room from the porch on throw the apartment. The Raffle exchange will start at 11 and be finished in time for the ball to drop. Once the midnight toast is over and the kisses and hugs have subsided, the barrage of bad karoke will ensue. Who would know my inlaws live 200 feet away.

Lots of friends, alcohol, fun, alcohol, good times, alcohol and memories. Just the way I want to bring in the new year. And hold me over until DC.

Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays all

2008-12-24T17:53:13Z

I just wanted to wish all my friends on LJ a very joyous holiday season. I hope you enjoy the time with your family and friends.

Weather

2008-12-19T17:42:37Z

It is awful here. Freezing rain early this morning following by wet, regular rain. And later, we are supposed to get snow. Maybe even up to a foot.

Someone needs to point out that winter doesn't start until.....Saturday.

Happy Birthday fuzzbear

Words can not say

2008-11-05T18:06:48Z

I was very suprised and sorry to hear that the California ban is winning. I did read that there are more absentee/contingent ballots to count. But based on the past, even if they do sway the vote, there will be some other legal crap to foul things up. I am very sorry to the California dancers I know that took part of this historical marriage event.

Camping news

2008-11-05T18:04:19Z

Sunday, we reserved a permanant spot for camping next season. It is right at the front of the campground where Kenny wanted all along. The gravel was delivered yesterday. So, once Kenny finished doing his redecoration changes, we should be all set for spring.

Not to settle in for winter. They say it is suppposed to be a bad one.

Happy Halloween
