Talking about Survivor Story: 6-Year-Old Leads Five Toddlers, Baby To Safety – News – MSNBC.com

Friday, September 9th, 2005

This is THE most heart-wrenching story. Don’t click unless you have a box of Kleenex at hand. With a 6 year old that loves to carry his little sister, this story hits way too close to home.

Another weekend flew by…

Sunday, August 28th, 2005

Monday is almost upon me again already. Two days just isn’t a long enough weekend.

I’m so excited I finally finished my certification course for Quickbooks. It took me two months to get through it. I’m officially a Certified Quickbooks ProAdvisor. Pretty cool. I really learned a lot. Now I just need clients 🙂

We had a lot of fun today after church. We went to see Christian’s friend Katie (also age 6) race. Check out http://www.wqma.com/. It’s pretty amazing to see those little kids zooming around the track. I really found it amazing to watch the kids arrange themselves in numerical order so the races could start. I could definitely see why they have to pass a training and safety course before they can race. Driving in reminded me of horse shows… kids running around everywhere, motor homes, trailers (although a different kind, of course), equipment, activity, organization. It was really fun. I look forward to going to another race next season. For this year, they only have one more race, but it’s Sept 11, the same day as Sunday School Rally Day (there will be a picnic after church).

Well, I’m supposed to be preparing for training that starts tomorrow. But it’s more fun preparing for the quickly approaching tax season (and praying that it goes really really well). I think I’ll go figure out how to put my new Quickbooks ProAdvisor symbol on my website 🙂

Talking about Seattle Post-Intelligencer: AP – High-Tech

Thursday, July 28th, 2005

Ok, this is sad to say… I interviewed for a new job earlier this month and the most exciting part about the job was the company provided tablet PC. I WANT ONE! Sadly, it appears that I did not get the job (there were other really great aspects of the job too), and I can’t justify buying one for myself when I A) have a perfectly good laptop and B) don’t typically use applications that are well suited to the tablet format. Oh well. End whine 🙂

Talking about Seattle Post-Intelligencer: AP – Washington, D.C.: Daylight-saving time extended by a month

Thursday, July 28th, 2005

Ok, I have to throw a small fit about this… I absolutely do not understand how on earth extending daylight savings time ‘would adversely affect livestock’. Last time I looked, livestock didn’t wear watches. Can anyone explain this to me?

Talking about komo news | Ken Schram : Odds And Ends

Tuesday, July 26th, 2005

I thought this idea for re-doing the viaduct was brilliant!

Number 3: How about that tunnel they found under the U.S./Canadian border?

I’ve got an idea: Instead of prosecuting the people who dug it, I think the City of Seattle should hire them.

I mean, if these people could build something like that for what I bet was not a whole lot of money, I’ve got only one word for you: Viaduct!
