Well, its not really that exciting (anything I do, really) but we have some things that have been going on lately...

I am, right now, as I speak, COMPLETELY avoiding getting ready to go to work. Yes, you are right. It is SATURDAY, banks are closed on SATURDAYS. But, not in the exciting world of LB. All of us new account folks have to come in for an ALL DAY SATURDAY training on the exciting world of IRAs. I hope you can feel the excitement I have for this training day.

The other day I decided I needed a library card. Like I don't have enough things filling up my time-I need to go rent out books/CDs/whatever tickles my fancy-set them aside until I have time to read them, but then forget them, forget where I stashed them, and return them late. So, yeah.
I found myself what I have decided will be one of my favorite books of all time. (I am like that, sometimes I can just decide that I will love something-from just a preview or snippet of information-and I am usually right) I was standing in line at the library next to a shelf and it just caught my eye. Its a non-fiction book about a big sister who is re-telling the tale of growing up with a mentally handicapped younger sister in the 1940's and the roller coaster of a life that was. I am just a chapter or two into it, and already a huge fan. The author is a tremendous writer and uses fabulously descriptive words. I can actually see her family. (I just love that, I think that is why I ALWAYS like the book better than the movie if they do a remake. I can just cast my characters so much better in my imagination.) I will let you know how it goes as I make my way through the book.
Anyways, J-O and I have decided we need to improve ourselves and our marriages. I found us each a book on CD. I am in L-O-V-E with mine. Although it can be depressing to hear about how low I really am, and to "visualize" where I want to be-then to realize how very far away that is. BUT-it is a process, and I am dedicated.
For now anyways...

Onto actual positive things...
Karen had her eye surgery on Tuesday. They took off her patch on Wed. and she could see some. Then Thursday they went to the eye specialist, and it has improved so far that out of the one eye she can now see 20/25! Great news! They are going to attempt the other eye sometime this week. I cannot imagine not being able to see. And it wasn't just that she couldn't see--she "saw" things-gargoyles, people, pets, environments-that did not exist. She told us at night or when she was alone she had to keep talking aloud asking "Alright, who is REALLY here? Who can hear me?" Then if she received no answer, she would know. Very Frightening thought to me...I don't like having full vision and being in my own home in the dark alone- they would have to keep me totally drugged to be able to do that in a scary place.
So, good luck to you Karen, we are all praying for you!

Hubbs and I have started back into church. REALLY Really really happy about that. We both are actually-except for the baby. She doesn't really like going to Sunday school. In fact-she HATES it. She threw a gigantic fit last Sunday. Screaming, crying, hitting at the teacher, passing herself back and forth between Hubbs' arms and mine, and holding on for dear life. I am sure I handled the situation wrong according to the "books" but I have never seen her do that. I think she is to the age now where she realizes we are actually leaving. Very sad to me. But after church when we went to pick her up she was happy as can be. Cocking her head, being flirty, waving Bye-bye. Why do we have to have so much drama in the beginning then?? I have a feeling that may be life with Addyson though. yay...

Alright, well now I may be officially late for class...oops.
