Talking really does help relationships. Don't hold ideas in, don't be afraid to discuss things with others, especially if something is bothering you. When you let problems build up, eventually an explosion occurs. (Contents Under Pressure are explosive!) Whether it's a loved one, an acquaintance, someone at work... whatever. Just talk. Chances are pretty good things will work out better because of it. If they don't, then consider the way you spoke about the situation. Choosing words carefully is important as well. ---------------- Now playing: Plasmatics - Put your love in me via FoxyTunes

I got a message that my car is almost done-- the paint was applied over the weekend and is now dry, and they are just putting the pieces back on (bumper, and I don't know what else), and it should be done in a few days. For some reason, the car dealer called Judy's phone number and not mine. Weird. So, today is Wednesday, I'm hoping it's ready by Friday! Judy will need to take it to San Antonio for judges' training. I'll use her car for Elgin's camp on Saturday. Which reminds me, I am going to "trade equipment" with someone from San Antonio. He's going to bring up 10 or 20 silver poles that I will trade for 10 or 20 white poles. Fun Fun. Last night was the first night back from winter break for my Elgin kids. Wow. We spent almost the whole night taping rifles and retaping flags. Seriously, it took 2 hours to do, then we only had about 30 minutes to work on basics, and not on show. Apparently Thursday night some of them need to work ...

"It's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life...for me and I'm feeling good!" I'm in a pretty good mood today, which is nice. I got something accomplished at work, and I found an AWESOME Badtz Maru desktop picture for my computer :-) Also got word that my car should be done in a week! I can't wait to have it back. Last night Judy and I went to Chez-Zee for dinner. It was very good-- as usual, and it was almost free since we used a gift card that her friend gave her. The gift card was a "reward" for cat-sitting while her friend was home for 2 weeks over the holidays. It bought 2 nice dinners, and dessert. We also had a couple of glasses of wine. It was a nice evening. Of course there's negative stuff, but I'm trying not to focus on that right now. I've got too many things going on that I can affect positively, and I'm going to. That's all for now. Have a good weekend (in case anyone actually reads this blog). --...
