Another try for the lights


Well, I am trying again to get my lights picture put up. I hope it will go in this time. Since it just popped up beside the box where I am typing I guess it worked.

Not much going on today. Church went well, but Tammi is very sick today. She has been running a fever all day and just feels awful. It really bothers me to have to leave here at home when I come in to the church, but I don't really have much choice.

I had to sing this morning. I think it went OK. Tammi came in long enough to play and hear me this morning and then she went home. She said it sounded good, but she is prejudiced. I was just glad my voice held out for it. Ever since I got done I have had a tickle in the back of my throat. I am hoping I am not going to get sick again.

There is a lot going on this week. I have all of the regular hassle of the busy season combined with the extra fun that the end of the quarter is two weeks away. Combine that with a healthy dose of not going to hit my number, and you can imagine the fun phone calls I will be fielding this week. Oh, but to make that little treasure even better I will be receiving a company NEXTEL phone this week too. Now a but chewing is even closer than ever. Funny how I can bet that thing will never go off with an atta-boy!

I know it sounds like I hate my job lately, but it is really just the end of the year push. This year sales have been soft, and I am not going to hit my number. That bothers me, but I did all I felt I could do. I am just looking forward to next year. Hopefully I will see a real turn-around and start throwing some new numbers on the board. I have some things I want to get done this next year, and I need some money to make them happen.

The biggest thing I need to get done is a new truck. I am not sure how long old "Black Beauty" is going to hang on. My Dad has told me about a truck at Merit (his employer) that he thinks he can get at auction real cheap. It is an older Ford 1/2 ton. Says the outside is dinged a bit, but solid. The interior needs some work. Engine runs very well, 4-wheel drive, V-8, A/C... I am hoping he can get it really cheap. If I can put a little into it and have something solid and somewhat dependable I can hold off on my dreams of my 3/4 ton Chevy for a couple of years. I have grown so much...I am contemplating the purchase of a Ford. I'm sure God will bless me for going through a trial like this!

Well, I'm gonna run now. To my faithful readership of one - since nobody else ever lets me know they read - I bid you good night!
