Amazing, simply amazing

I don't know how much longer I'll be able to keep using this blog. Blogger is switching to a new system (but still leaving the old one up for those who don't want to switch yet) and they're really trying to convince everyone to go to it. To change you have to register for a Google account and I refuse to do it. I don't want a Google account to access my blog and I'm totally convinced that getting that Google account opens me up to receiving even more junk email. Sorry, Blogger, can't do it. But lately, my Netscape program shuts down nearly every time I've tried to log on....which is why you haven't seen any posts from me the last few days....and that tells me that Blogger is screwing with me by overloading my browser.

I AIN'T GONNA CHANGE! Accept it...move on. I may have to find another blogging service eventually.

Christmas was good overall. Except for being hacked off at my Dad right now, things went pretty well. Saw all my nieces and one nephew, plus some other family members and I enjoyed that. I missed having Jonnene here for the festivities and I heard from her that things went well at her family Christmas celebrations, too. We're going to call each other at New Year's as each of us transistion over to the next year. We're 15 hours apart (she's ahead of me) so having two phone calls in that time will be twice as nice!

Speaking of, Jonnene finally got her interview scheduled! Mark down January 10th at 8 am (3 pm the day before for me) for her to get a spotlight shown on her...."awright, sister, where were you on Tuesday morning? And don't be telling any fibs if ya know what's good fer ya"....and she'll have a few questions of her own, especially regarding how soon she can expect to work in the USA. Should she be found eligible and have her paperwork in order, she should be issued her visa within 24 hours and she can start the process of coming over the big water!! This whole ordeal will be coming to an end soon.

I was not expecting to work much this week but I was surprised. I've been at the computer all week working on several jobs and I think it'll keep on for a couple more weeks. Nice!

Now if I can get back on track and start getting some of this weight off from the holidays. I'll be doing a lot of bike riding and running this weekend....there's a duathlon next weekend I'm going to try to do. Always need the motivation.
