Wow! It has been a long time since I posted a blog. It’s funny because I really enjoyed writing about all of those experiences that I shared with you all in the past. So much has happened since then as well, and if you are my friend on Facebook you know what I am talking about.

12 weeks later and the hard stuff begins
You never know how hard it’s going to be until you have to do it that first time. Yesterday evening, I left my little Ronnie at my mom’s house so I could go to work, for the first time in about 12 weeks.

Can researching Cancer in Dogs Help People with Cancer?
This is something I am involved in and it makes a great response to today’s Daily Post. I own a boxer, he is a wonderful dog, and loyal just as the breed is known to be.
Boxers are also known as the number one cancer dog. Every time I take Chico to the vet for a lump or unusual growth, I am met by the words, he is a boxer, we have to take it off. Luckily, I have had the ability to do this. However, there could always be something going on inside that I can’t see. (more…)

Self Help?
Three Feet from Gold (Photo credit: bjmccray) Have you ever read a self-help book? Did you get anything out of it? Did any of the advise you read stick with you. There are three books currently on my reading list, that most definitely qualify as self-help books. Three Feet From Gold, The Mastery of Love (Toltec Wisdom), and Why Men Don’t Listen and Women Can’t Read Maps: How We’re Different and What to Do About It tackle business relationship and personal issues.
I am currently rereading Three Feet From Gold, I originally bought this particular book, because my Mary Kay unit was reading. I am reading it now to get a fresh perspective on it. The one thing said in this book is that you are the same now as you will be in five years. The only difference is the books you read, and the people you associate with.
The idea behind that is that you know the things you read, and the people you know, they have a great influence on you. They will have an influence on the decisions you make and your attitude.
Something else mentioned is a goal is not a goal until it is written down. Also, after a goal has been reached, it is a responsibility. Examples of this include: a new car, a promotion, a family, a marriage really anything after that goal is achieved you are responsible for maintenance, upkeep, health …whatever the case maybe. The work does not stop with the achievement of a goal, that is just the beginning.
There are several other nuggets of information, I highly recommend this book. The information passed on by the authors is definitely timeless.

Epic Literature in Modern Drama
I wrote this paper in 2008 for Dr. Sorenson’s World Literature Class at Grayson County College. I submit it to my followers, as I am thinking about a similar project, if I could just find something as gripping as The Odyssey and The Iliad to read. I love classic literature, and am really missing writing like this.
Let me know what you think: (more…)

Snow in N. Texas
“Polar Express” storm could bring snow to North Texas | wfaa.com Dallas – Fort Worth.
Snow in Texas! I actually don’t like driving in the stuff, I mean I don’t get much practice. Seeing as the ground is still pretty warm though, it wasn’t so bad. The worst part was the wind blowing me and my car around a bit.
The first snow of the season used to be exciting, watching the news to see if school was going to be cancelled for the day. My school rarely every cancelled. It never hurt to hope though 😉
Now I just want to make it home so I can enjoy the weather snuggled up with a certain guy, and my pup.
Happy December guys!

Christmas is in the Air!
Oh, how I just love Christmas songs! I have had my radio on the Sirius Holiday channel since just after Thanksgiving. I just love Christmas songs, it’s funny to me, how some people can’t stand them; and then there are those who would love it if they were played year round. I fall somewhere in between. (more…)

From Above
From the myths and legends of the Pegasus, Icarus and Daedalus, and Alexander the Great to the earliest efforts of flight of Ancient Greek engineer Hero, Leonardo da Vinci’s Ornithopter in 1485, and the Wright Brother’s flight at Huffman Prairie on October 5, 1905, humans have always had their imagination in the clouds.
I may not be big on the history, but I do love planes, and as it turns out flying is fun. Now, I don’t mean commercial flying. No, James took me flying last week. It was so much fun.
We flew from Collin County Regional Airport north to Lake Texoma. Here is a view of the gas wells at Hagerman National Wildlife Refuge on Lake Texoma.
The same location a little farther from the lake.
The town I grew up in. It was fun getting to see everything from the air, everything looks so small, like a little model.Getting to see the trees in their fall colors from the air was really something. I can’t even describe what it looked like, seeing the red, orange, and golden trees dotted in with those still holding their green leaves.
A new perspective on things is refreshing. I hope to be taking to the air again in the future, I had an absolute blast!
What do you think? Isn’t it something different to get a different view on things?

Check out this video of my flight in Greatest Generation Aircraft’s DC-3 at the Denton Air Show.It’s hard to believe that this plane, The Southern Cross, was built in 1942, and is still flying today.
Either way you look at it, it is fun and awe-inspiring to see the world from above, the way the birds do. They have it right, getting to see what it looks like from above.
