A friend of mine at work has a day-by-day calendar called "You Might Be A Redneck If..." You can imagine what sorts of things are on it. I have one to add: You Might Be A Redneck If you go to the drag races on a Saturday evening and watch trucks drag. Ummm...

big trucks...

like...

18 wheelers.

Yep, just might be. Especially when two of the trucks were bull-haulers who dragged with their trailers in tow. It was a hoot! I've done a lot of things, and seen a lot of things in my time, but that was a first! I'd go again.

Life's Changes

It has been quite a while since I have posted anything. It's hard sometimes to find something besides the "same ole same ole" to talk about. There have been a couple of changes in the last 6 weeks:

1) I am birdless

2) I remained animal-free for all of 24 hours. I now have a dog. It's been a few years since the last 4-footed friend, and I think the Lord had this one in mind especially for me. He is a Black Lab/Border Collie mix (I think) and is just as cute as he can be. A friend named him Andy. I liked it, so I kept it.

3) I finally gave up on L, after he moved to Tucson without a call or a stop here, and filed for divorce on Apr. 13. Don't know when all that will be completed yet. We've been divorced for all intents and purposes for the last year anyway, so I am just making it legal.

Work continues the same. I like my job. I hate the new computer system. But I guess I will get used to it, as they are not likely to give us a new one any time soon.

I think I will be going to see a grandbaby in the next couple of weekends. I haven't been there since she was born, and it is time. They haven't managed to come this way because of my son's work schedule. He works a lot of weekends, and I work weekdays. So I guess I will be doing the traveling for awhile. That's ok, now that I don't have birds to worry about. It's a lot easier to find a dogsitter than a birdsitter!
