October 25

Carol and Cindy came for a visit last week and we shopped, ate, and yakked it up.  We went to my Bible study together and it was good they went with me.  I'm sad one of the girls', Lisa Fales, Dad died the next day.  She had just ask us to pray for her Mom who needs a knee replacement, but then her Dad passed unexpectedly.  It is always so hard when that happens.  That's why we always have to be ready and love the people in our lives as if it will be our last day together.  Because we never know the time or place, do we? 

Chris is going to work at the AT&T gold tourney today and tomorrow.  He's such a hard working man.  And makes so much money doing it too!  Not.

The Rangers are going to the World Series, yeah!  We will miss the first game because we are going to the Spurs game.  First things first. 

Go Spurs Go!

October 16

We went to Cindy and Lee's yesterday.  Chris wanted to go fishing.  Well so did I.  And we wanted to pick up the fish, Jackson's and Chris's.  They look great.  So we just took off and got there about 4, went fishing, and then had steak and lobster.  Those Magees really know how to do it, don't they?  To bed, and back fishing this morning.  After lunch, Chris wanted to get one more meal, we headed back to San Antonio and here we are!!

Chris recorded the A & M game although we had listened to it and it was not pretty.  But he wanted to see it anyway just to see what happened to them.  Anyway, they lost again.  But the Rangers won so that is good.

Carol is in Austin and she is coming over tomorrow.  Yeah!!  We will play a little Mahjong, do a little shopping, you know, just the usual.  Mary Ann should be coming home Monday.  I hope she is doing well.

I'm thinking that Patrick and Stephanie and the kids are going to be moving soon.  I am praying they are all well and that I will see them soon. 

Got tickets to the Spurs game here against Oklahoma Monday, I hope Carol wants to go.  If not, Chris will go with a buddy.  Oh well, we'll see.  Kevin Durant would be fun to watch though.  

Gotta catch up on Judge Judy.  So, until later.

We got to witness a miracle today when they rescued all 33 miners in Chile.  They were trapped for 69 days and all are free and well.

October 12

Bought rugs today for the loft, upstairs bedroom, and kitchen.  Need one for the den but can't get in there to measure.  Also ordered blinds for the upstairs and kitchen.  We're getting there and it is getting expensive.  But it will be very nice and I can't wait to get it finished and put together.

Mary Ann is in Reno and didn't do too well in her first tourney but tomorrow is another day.  Hopefully she will have good luck.


Labron hurt his precious leg tonight in a game and DeWayne has some kind of hurtishness going on too.  Awwww.  The Spurs are in Mexico City and playing the Clippers.   The Clippers were ahead by twenty and the Spurs just tied it up in the forth quarter.  So I'll let you know who wins before I go to bed.  GO SPURS GO!!

Well we were down by two and 1.5 seconds left.  Pop let Manu call the play and he got everybody all fired up and they make the 3 pt and we won 100 to 99.  I love Manu!!

October 11

We made it home from Ruidoso and I'm soooo tired.  Chris is too, he did all the driving.  So we are going to bed and one of us will get up to get Mary Ann to the airport by 6:15.  She's going to Reno to play poker.  Hope she does well.  And we are still excited Gabriel got an elk!! 

Miss Lady is coming tomorrow thank goodness and I am a week behind on my bible study so I'll have to catch up before Wednesday and it's my day to bring refreshments.  I wish I was down for the next week, but it's ok, I can always go to Cosco and buy some quiche and yes I will admit I didn't make it.  It is BIBLE STUDY after all.  So, got that going on.

And by the way, after not having my phone charger since Thursday, and today is Monday, I had a total of three messages.  All from Chris.  I'm not very popular.  Pitiful.

October 9

I have been having a very miserable time up here in Ruidoso with no phone and being locked in the house.  I started to email Carrie to call Gabriel to tell Chris of my dilemma but Mary Ann was all twitting about it and she called him and he said he was on his way home.  I have been outside twice today, and it is not fun, but neither is it fun sitting here at this computer playing hearts and poker all day sitting at the kitchen table on a hard chair.  It's either that or lay down on the bed.  Lots of fun.  The front room is still walled up.  The upstairs is a mess.

So, about 9 this morning I realized the workers weren't coming...I didn't know it was SATURDAY!!!!!
But Mary Ann emailed me and said Chris said the key was in the console..so I climbed BACK out and went to look again and lo and behold there is was!  I thought he meant it was on the car key thingy, which WAS in the console but there was no key on it.  But there way in the back of the console stuffed in all his junk that he hoards (he would be a hoarder if I let him) was the key.  Anybody could have missed it.  You cannot imagine the pure JOY when I found that key. 

So I had gotten the doors unlocked about 30 minutes before he got home so he doesn't think I'm totally brain dead, but almost.  And he went and got the key out of Sam's ("easily" he said) (but I think not, if anything I had loosened it up for him) and got the door opened under the house which has a key in there (and I knew that) but it was so stuck I couldn't get it opened.  I must have loosened that up for him too.  Although I did think about getting one of the workers big giant tools and bashing it in.  But that would have meant crawling back in and crawling back out.  So anyway all's well that ends well.  And I don't have to sleep with that gigantic knife tonight.  But he is kinda looking at me with a little bit of pity.  I'm not sure if he feels sorry for me or thinks I'm an idiot.  I'm hoping he feels sorry for me.

The Spurs lost Thurs nite to Houston!!!  So tonight they are playing Miami Heat in SA!  GO! SPURS! GO!

October 8

I went to the casino today because I was so bored and won $70.00.  It took me forever and when I got home about 5 till 5 the workers were already  gone and they locked me out.  I have a key but they locked the deadbolt so I tried to get into Sam's because I had to go to the bathroom.  Then I got my key locked in the door at Sam's.  So I tried all the windows and the only one open was in the kitchen.  So I pulled the little rubber stuff from around the edge and pulled the screen off.  Then I had to get one of the rickety chairs from the deck and climb in the window.  I'm sure it was not a pretty sight.  But I made it.  Thank the Lord.  I was praying really hard.  So...all is well.

I am sad though that I don't have a phone of ANY kind to call Chris.  I hope they are having fun and don't have any problems.  This is not good not having a phone. 

Well I'm getting my pj's on and crawling in the bed.  I lock the bedroom door and Chris showed me the sharpest knife we have.  It is huge, so if anybody is out there thinking they are going to get me....they better have another think coming.  Because....I WILL CUT YEW!!

Also, someone snuck over to my house in San Antonio and took a picture of my latest art work and twitted it.  I think I know who it was.  That new movie director PokerLawyer!!

October 7

We got to Ruidoso yesterday and it is just lovely.  They are coming along on the house but aren't ready for me to start moving stuff into the upstairs bedroom yet.  They don't even have the wood floor down yet.  But Eric says it will be ready by Nov 4th, and I'm putting it in writing.  And that includes the big room downstairs too.  It has to be painted, the bookcases are coming out, new lighting and a new wood floor.  So we'll see.  I hope so.  

Chris left this morning to go meet Gabriel up by Cimmarron to go elk hunting.  I hope he gets one.  Chris isn't hunting, just being with Gabriel, so I hope they have fun.  It is raining and all the workers have left for the day, it's already starting to get dark and it's just 6 here.  I'm getting kinda lonesome all of the sudden.  And I'm totally cut off from the whole world.  Except if someone emails me which probablly won't happen.  Chris didn't even take his computer.  The land line is buried somewhere in the front room that is walled off.  And the cells no worky up here, gotta go down to town to get some bars.  And my cell phone is dead.  And the charger cord I brought isn't to my phone it's to Chris's, so no comunicado until he gets back Sunday.  Oh dear, I'm very lonely. 

And the Spurs are playing in Houston tonight at 8:30, maybe it will be 7:30 here, I hope so.  And I don't have any way to listen to it, except I can watch it on the internet, but not really.  They just update the score when it changes, and tell who fouled, and who made the point, etc.  In writing, not with a voice.   But that is better than nothing and I will be watching my computer screen to see how they do.  I hope they can start with a win.  Meow Ming is back and will be playing, and I don't know if Tiago is well yet.  So all I can say is GO SPURS GO!!

October 4, 2010

I can't believe that it was 10 years ago today that my Dad died.  It was the saddest day of my life.  I miss him just as much today as I ever did.  He was a wonderful man, a great Dad, and I think he was a great grandfather too.  He loved us all so much.  And he gave us all the ability to live wonderful lives.  I still love him so much.

We went to go see the Spurs yesterday at open practice.  It was a lot of fun, we had hotdogs and popcorn and cokes..free.  It was great.  And the team looked really good.  I had they have a good season.  We didn't get to see Tiago because he was hurt, but he sure is cute, really a cutie.

I know I am an obsessive person, it is one of my worse faults.  But this show hoarders has hooked me.  I just can't believe these people.  And man oh man am I glad that I don't have that problem.  Whew!!  WHO ever in the world ever thought about having a show like this.  I just can't believe it.  I have to go watch it.  Bye.

October 2

I finally found that piece of paper that had my password on it so I could get back in here and start writing my memoirs.   Whew!!

I have been getting rested up from my company but I think they are coming back tomorrow.  Don't know for sure but we'll find out.

Ramsey has learned to ride a bicycle.  She is getting to be a big girl!!  I hope they go with us tomorrow. We are going to watch the Spurs at AT&T Center.  It's 'open workout' and it is FREE and everybody in San Antonio will be there!!  YEAH BABY!!  Tiago Splitter hurt his leg or something so we won't get to see him.  He better get well before the season starts is all I have to say.  Everybody is all excited about him coming here and he goes and hurts his leg.  Great. 

Chris is very sad about the Aggies losing yesterday...right at the very end.  I'm sorry too but at least we weren't there.  That would have been awful.  Emily went home this weekend.  Hope that they all are having a great time.  Gig em!

I wonder if Pat and Steph and the kids got moved.  I'm going to have to find out because it's awful not knowing.  I miss them so much.  But I have been studying about Moses leading the people out of Egypt and the lesson is that God sometimes leads you through the wilderness so you can see Him more clearly.  It would have been a short 30 day trip to Canaan but instead they were left to wander in the wilderness for years.  But God choose this for the people of Israel.  There are some things we don't understand until we are put in a position where we have to see God's power working for us.  God will comfort us by His Holy Spirit.  I am trusting him while I am in this impossible situation with my son.  Moses told the people to be fearless, be still, be watchful, and be quiet.  That's what I'm going to do.  And I am expecting a miracle.  God is good.
