I can't wait for the Reunion Cruise! WHoo Hoo! Any excuse to get away from work and home right now. What I really need is a cruise around the world? Next reunion maybe? Nothing new here to report - just work, work and work and once in a while play with the kitties and clean the house. Boring life I live. 8/5/2009 Well into April 09 - Sad, Rex is going to North Dakota again for about a month. Only good thing is that I am busy while he is gone. I have workshop, behind at work, behind in socialization according to Liz who I finally had coffee with after a month. Going to try to get back into the swing of things and hit the gym at least twice a week and walk the lake once or twice a week since the weather is nice. Seeing many old faces on facebook! It is so great to reconnect with everyone. I left San Berdoo and never thought I would see/hear from anyone again. I saw a few faces at UCSB (Jennifer Hatton and Jeff Ledbetter). Then lives crossed with Sylvia Voros years later, and ironically our spouse/BF were in the same industry and same lousey schedules so we had a lot in common again (7 days on / 7days off shifts in the oil fields). Several people still look exactly the same - scary! I wish I was skinny and young looking, even though I was never skinny in high school. The latest plans for trips? Redding to see family again. Maybe down to LA and OC to see family in May/June. Planning to move out of apartment in July/August but don't know where too yet. We still can't afford a down payment on a house _ spending it all on rent which sucks! I feel like I keep getting nowhere with a down payment. At least getting into a larger 2 or 3 bedroom apt will help us, we are cramped and on top of each other and fighting over the computer = which Rex needs all the time for school. School starts in May again for him. Which means I put on my nagging cap again, nag him to study and get his work done, like a mother. Wow January 2009 is almost gone! All the holidays were uneventful here - except for our new cat that almost died! Stayed home to care for him. S'mores the snowshoe (AKA heathen cat beast) is Rex's family cat that we took in or he was headed for the pound due to his behavior issues. UC Davis says he has the most aggressive cat behavior they have encountered ... ah only my child. He is walking the line on death row since he bit me in the face! Rex is in No Dak again (he likes that -50 weather) and S'mores and I are bonding and he is learning to behave like a proper cat. Dani's cat boot camp. Face book has put a lot of us in touch these past few months! Even my sister Terri has gotten into it! She may have a doctorate degree, but cell phones and computers can still get the best of her! Look forward to talking to many more people and the cruise in Sept. August 2008 Rex and I are fabulous! Totally in love. We spent a week in Yosemite with the family and all survived. No one pushed anyone off the cliffs. We had a fabulous time but were exhaused when we all got home. I have put up some pictures of us there. Rex is gone for the entire month of August and I am lonely :( Thinking about the reunion cruise - I have never been on...Expand for more
