I am watching a show in the weather channel about the amazing dog teams who got a lifesaving package of diptherua serum th Nome, Alaska in 1925.

Around me, six cats are sleeping.
I am awed by the bravery of these beautiful creatures.

Here’s a bunch of photos from our visit to Fort Osage yesterday.
These were taken on my camera (not my phone). Since my phone battery was dead, I used the camera. (in fact, I need to do that more! Some of the photos turned out nicely!)
There’s a couple of photos in there of me and my [...]

I had lots of fun and had a great time hanging out with other Republicans. However, I forgot to take my camera, and besides, I was never really able to take [...]
Okay, so I admit that the exclamation point makes me sound a little more excited than I am. I’m a teensy bit nervous, mostly because even with the lower price I found, I’m still paying a pretty big chunk of change! But I am now officially signed up for two classes at ed2go.com. This afternoon, [...]
I am so so so happy right now.
Remember how I mentioned that I was thinking about taking a class? At my community college, they offer several computer design and computer language type classes, online. They are non-credit (community education), six-week-long classes. They are actually offered by a company/website that the school contracts with to offer [...]
Yep, I’m thinking about going back to school.
