Diane's Diary-ah

Even though it is cold out (50 degrees right now) the beautiful blue skies of Texas still amaze me and I will never tire of them!  My mother prefers a few puffy clouds in the sky like huge cotton balls, but ever since I can remember I've liked pure blue sky as far as the eye can see.  That is what I call 'my kind of day'.

Anyway, I should be starting to work on something.  Between my mortgage work and my lia sophia party I'm trying to close out for a nice lady in one of my yahoo groups, and the items I still have to price for Wood Stock, there is always work, work and more work to do.  It amuses me when my hub asks me what I have planned for the day.  I could just play the same tape over and over to him.

But this I do vow.  When the new movie theater opens up here in town I am going to start going more often!  I mean my life can't be about just work and nothing else. It is hard sometimes though because I feel like I am on a mission.  I am on a mission to be the financial fortress for at least the next 6-7 years when Stac has graduated from college and I can finally breathe a financial sigh of relief.  I am trying to take care of my kiddies until they are out on their own so that they don't graduate from college already in tons of student loan debt.  And so although it may appear to anyone who knows me and not really that many do because I dont' get out much...I may appear to be a work-a-holic...the fact of the matter is I am a person who is riddled with responsibility and embrace (don't know that that is the right word for it) the duties that I am bound to and have been ever since the birth of my children.  Even when I was married to their father, I felt like if I wasn't the glue that held everything together, all chaos would break loose. 

This is the reason why the tv programs that I watch are such an important past time for me.  Without them I'd be working all the time, feeling like I had to do something to make some money.  My favorite is Grey's Anatomy. That is just absolutely #1.  Used to be Desperate Housewives but not any more.  That show took on too many twists and turns although I do watch it every Sunday.

My hub does laugh at the fact that I really like Friday Night Lights since I don't really care to watch football although I do enjoy watching Stac's highschool games.  They are actually pretty exciting.  I told my hub that I like the coach in Friday night lights and have liked him ever since an old TV series that didn't last long (that was even before Early Editions). It was something from back I think in the 40's or something. Anyway he is Kyle Chandler and I just always have liked him ever since then.  Found out his birthday is the same as mine too! :)

Next week is Thanksgiving and I actually do have no work on Thursday OR Friday.  So I will be forced to relax (we'll see). We are going up to visit our daughter in college for Thanksgiving. She may be cooking a turkey but I told her anything is fine. We can even go out and eat somewhere that is open.  It will be nice to see her apartment and visit her for the day.  If it weren't for Instant Messenger we'd hardly ever communicate as she doesn't care to talk on the phone and she knows she can generally find me on the computer most of the time. 

Well going to get a bite for breakfast and get to work.
