What's New?

Hey there, fellow bloggers! It's been a month since my last post, so I'm taking Marky's lead: it's time to pull over, sit my butt down and hammer somthing out. So, what's new? Well, I am currently sitting in an airport in Memphis, waiting on my flight back to Dallas. I had to take a quick trip to Florida to handle some business, and my return trip consists of flying from Sarasota to Atalnta to Memphis to Dallas. Ugh! What a long, miserable day.

On a more pleasant note, I am pleased to report that I'm an official, card-carrying student at UTA. I am registered for Calculus1, Physics 1 and a communications class this fall. How exciting! I've never actually GONE to college before. My General Studies bachelor's degree was really just a bunch of correspondence exams, and my MBA from U of Phoenix was done online. I actually get to sit through a real college class! I'm sure the excitement will wear out after my first homework assignment...

Work is going good. I'm now in charge of maintaining the equipment that make Lay's and Ruffles potato chips. I manage the day to day ongoings of the mechanics on my shift and cover emergency calls for the entire plant, and I coordinate, plan and schedule long term projects for my equipment. Fun stuff.

Life is good, and the debt is slowly abating. I really took a hit during my three months off work (drained my down payment for house down to nothing!) but we're looking to recover and buy our first home in November. Yay for us!

So, how're yall doin'? Let's here it, folks!
