Snow

Well it rained here for most of the weekend but on Sunday night it finally turned into snow. It actually has managed to stick around through today. Farmington usually gets snow but it is usually gone just as fast as it comes. Last night we actually got a little bit more to add to our current quantity.

Hopefully I can get my TAF report if a certain someone will call me back with it. Or maybe I need to find out a way to get into JAAWIN...

Anyways, I hope you are enjoying the weather wherever you are and regardless of what it is doing. Thank you also to my friend who shares a name with another season, it was a pleasure talking to her!

Here is my truck from my front door and looking down my street today.

Man that's nice!

Trying some things out

I am in the process of adding a new layout to my page here. Blogger has offered some nice new updates, so when I can figure out what exactly I want to go with, it will be here.

How is the weekend going for everyone? It has been raining here all weekend. I ended up going to Durango last night and the snow was falling like crazy!! The latest report I heard today was that they received a foot of snow. Makes me wish that I would have chosen to go skiing today. Oh well, I will shoot for next weekend.

Is it storming where you are at? Do any of you have any suggestions about the layout? Questions comments, concerns or dislikes are welcome as well. Have I mentioned that I sure hope that it snowed out where I work. If not with all this rain, it sure will be a sloppy mess this week! I will take my camera along with me, so hopefully you guys can see what I am talking about.

Here we go again

Just as they say history repeats itself, here is a new story on an old issue.

Click here for some past news on this. Of course, I miss being over there but that was one of the issues that would have been just fine as me never having to experience.

1/1/08

My day started off well as I had a delicious breakfast burrito that was smothered in green chili. If you guys ever come for a visit, I will definitely treat you! The morning was spent relaxing from an uneventful new years eve. I cleaned up and attempted to cheer myself up from the heartache that is coming with the return of work tomorrow. haha

As the day progressed and it warmed up to about a brisk 35 degrees, It was then off to the park to have my first bike ride off the new year. The sun was out and even though the air was cold, I was great being outdoors on the bike. You will definitely see me more often on it this year.

Upon my return I had a nice but simple pasta dinner and some relaxation as I attempted to warm up. From there it was off to the laundary mat just down the street, to wash my oily and dirty work clothes. Those machines sure are PRICEY!!

So here I am wrapping things up, having just finished my first Starbucks of the New Year. I hope you all had a great day as well. Fell free to drop me a line or comment and let me know how things went for you.

Here are some pics I took while riding today.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE

Moving Forward

As 2007 is in the past and we move onto 2008, I have to look back. I had some wonderful times and some that I wish to never repeat again. If only I had the power to control that. No matter what we do in life, we are always going to come across those bad times. It's part of what makes us who we are presently and into the future.

One lesson I learned the hard way, was that you can give someone everything you possibly can, yet it is not the one thing they need most of all. It is different for each person based on the experiences that have come their way. I have come across those that have it worse than I do and those that have it much better. As I sit and think about it, I can honestly say that I am happy with my life. Of course everything has not gone the way I would have liked or planned. However, with everything that has been served to me, I am wiser and better off because of those things.

As time continues to pass, my dreams, hopes, expectations and priorities change. Some out of necessity and others from the road I have taken down the walk of life. Life is not easy at times and I constantly wonder where I will be in 10 years from now. 2007 ended poorly for me but a big part was that I let it end that way. Yes, I may have been rejected but I carried the rejection too far. I didn't carry on with my life so easily as she did. That was the hardest part.

So my New Years resolution is to turn things around in my life. I want to be happy again and enjoy my everyday life. There are alot of changes I need to make in order for that to happen. I am going to give it my all though and I appreciate all of you that give me support. I am tired of making excuses for my downfalls. I am the main source of them and need to stop blaming others for them. Of course I can make a change in my life on any day not just New Years. It just worked out conviently for me. I know that not everyday will be "sunny" but I need to chase those "cloudy" days away more often so that they do not over come my daily life as I have allowed in the past.

Thank you to all of you, whether you have brought happiness or heartache. I am better off today because of what you have been to me. I hope you all strive to make it a better year also. Good luck and never stop moving forward.

2008

May it be a great one for you all. I hope 2007 was good to you and if it wasn't, here is a chance for a new start.
Take care and thanks to all of you for everything you are to me.
