Namaste,

Well it was a good long weekend... I will say a very expensive weekend! I shopped, shopped and shopped again. Crest, Quail Springs, three Wal-Marts and the Outlet Mall yesterday. I took a couple of naps, and ate some great food! I cleaned the garage and even loaded the bike and rode at lake Hefner. It was quite windy and after two miles I had second thoughts, but one I got in my groove, it was great to be back in the saddle! I am not real excited to get to work this morning..... I have all of my Monday reports due as well as my Tuesday meetings so it will be very busy, but Trey starts High School football camp tonight, and daddy is very proud! I guess I'll get ready for work!

Love you all!

Namaste,

Good Morning everyone.... Blogspot changed their upload program and now on my home page I can see how many people have read this blog and how many people have read each post. We are over 27,000 views and that blows me away! Yesterday was pretty chill... I got up and sent some images to print then got my shower and headed out. I picked up my prints and headed to Norman to get Trey. We drove around Norman looking at the campus and seeing if there was anything to take pictures of. We headed across town to see Jordan at her salon, before heading over to Maxey's Honda to look at bikes. I think I am heading into my fifth or sixth mid-life crisis and can't decide if I need a boat or a bike? I found these new bikes called the Honda Fury and they are chopped out and really sexy. I fell in love! Trey and I headed back to Edmond and when we got home I sat down and fell asleep for a couple of hours. I jumped up and headed to Hobby Lobby to have my prints framed and Trey called me he had "Plans" at the mall.... He also ask for $40 which makes me wonder what his "Plans" were? The girls at Hobby Lobby did a great job for me and when I got home at 3:30 Trey was ready to head to the mall. I dropped him off and came home. I had planned on just making turkey wraps for dinner, so I decided to clean the house real good. I did the disgusting bathrooms and then did the floors and dusted. When I got done I jumped in the shower. Sherrie got home a little after 6:00 and we headed to Upper Crust to get a chicken pizza, and then Whole Foods to get some cheese and some salmon. We also ran to Academy to get Trey a girdle for football camp that starts Tuesday. We came home to watch a movie, but just hung out until Trey was ready to get picked up @ 11:00. I was interested to see who he was with, but he came out alone???? Oh well, we will find out soon enough!

Love you all!

Namaste,

Good morning all... It was a very busy end of the week. I was short at least one girl each day Thursday, and Friday. We continue to stay very full in our building and that is great but exhausting. Thursday evening Trey said... "Dad there is nothing to eat here!" I didn't take into account he was outta school, so we ran to the market and I got that baby some food. Friday was a blur, and I was cruising along my day going fine and found out that we had our Monthly Operational Review call at noon. I didn't have anything ready so I rallied and got my crap together. The call was fine then we ran to lunch. When we got back I wrapped up and headed home. On the way home Trey called and Jordan had driven to Edmond unbeknownst to me and he was headed to Norman to spend the night with her. I got home at 4:15 and Sherrie made the suggestion we go to a movie. We went to the mall and saw The Avengers. I slept for the first 45 minutes, and then had no idea what the heck was going on. We did a little shopping on the way out then stopped at Braums for a sandwich. We came home and Sherrie cleaned house while I watched, yay! I went to bed at 9:22 and crashed out! I have no plans for the weekend other than driving to Norman to get Trey today. I need to paint my bedroom, but don't know if that will happen or not?

 Love you all!

Namaste,

Wednesday was a crazy day.... Work continues to be more than one person can handle, but I keep my head up and keep pushing forward. I know I am being tested everyday... We had PI so I was in the building all day. I did order four new prints for two more rooms that were remodeled. I left work at 3:30 and came to the house to get Trey and Sherrie... We had to go to Santa Fe and meet Trey's football coaches and get his equipment. He walked in and the coaches started licking their chops. They started asking him if he was a offensive lineman and he said I prefer defense.... I think they have a spot on the "O" line for him. I don't care as long as he is playing! We let Trey pick our dinner spot. After dinner we came home and then a trip to Hobby Lobby to get the prints framed. That took forever, but they look great! We came home and I spent the next two hours cleaning house! On another note... One of my part time employees suffered a severe asthma attack earlier in the week. He was down for 45 minutes before they found him. He is in ICU on full life support. This is a very young guy with a beautiful wife, and small children. Please pray for Michael and his family. All my love! Mat

Namaste,

Well it was the typical Monday.... All of my rports were due by 10:00am, and both of my assistants were not feeling well, so three of us hacking in the officee made for even more fun. I spent 1/2 of my morning chasing my tail and trying to figure out whatt happened over the weekend. The day was very busy, and I did four evaluations myself. I took the girls to applebee's for a salad for lunch and it was pretty good but not as good as the salad I made Sunday night. I left a litle after 5:00 and came to the house. I had bought a new android tablet Sunday and I HATED it! I took it back to Best Buy and got "The New IPad!" It is so much easier to use and I don't have to learn how to use everything again. There are some pretty cool features, and the screen makes pictures look awesome. It took 5 hours to load all of my music, and images so I did that while watching the Thunder dismantle the lakers. I fell asleep during the fourth period, bu he game was well in hand!

 Love you all!

Namaste,

Well it was quite a busy Saturday, that lasted deep into Sunday morning. After I wrote yesterday I decided that no matter how bad I felt I needed to exercise so I got on my hybrid and took off through the neighborhood. It was nice, even though I could not breath due to my bronchitis (Ain't nobody got time for dat!) I came home cleaned up and then Sherrie and I dropped the car off at Firestone to get a tire replaced. We headed to the new coffee shop in downtown Edmond, it's called Evoke and although it's not as good as Vintage it was OK. We went to the Farmers Market and I bought Sherrie a case of peach salsa. I took her to work and picked up a few groceries. I came home and Trey and I spent the next five hours cleaning his room. Yes.... FIVE HOURS!!!!! After being in that filth for that long I cleaned up again and we headed to Sam's. We bought a bunch of crap we didn't need, but it's gonna be a wonderful Sunday evening dinner. We dropped the stuff off, went and paid for the car and then picked Sherrie up at work. We were headed to Norman to have Jordan do Sherrie's hair. We surprised Jordan at her salon, and she cut Treys hair. We grabbed some Chinese take out and headed to her apartment. We ate and Jordan started doing Sherries hair. I was concerned that the color was kinda red.... Well guess who was right. Dark blond became cranberry red! We came home and watched the Thunder beat LA. The game did not get over till after midnight, and then I couldn't sleep! I have so much to do today, and really don't want to. I need a new pair of dress shoes, and I am meeting a couple to talk about their wedding pictures. Have a great day!

Love you all!

Namaste,


Well it has been a month since I blogged.... You may ask why? I have been very busy and something had to give. We have been at capacity at the hospital for a while now and it has taken everything I have to maintain that. I was able to hire an assistant for my assistant, which has freed Alicia up to take on some more responsibilities. Being full for such an extended period has caused it's own problems. It has really stressed our nursing staff, so we have a ton of new nurses coming on board, which is good and bad..... I started remodeling the hospital with some of my art. I have done two rooms so far, and the response has been wonderful. I have been sick as a dog this week. I feel like I have pneumonia, and have been going to bed at 7:00pm the last two days. Last night we were suppose to go to Norman to hang out with Josh, Jordan and their new puppy Jake but I got hung up at work. Sherrie and Trey waited for me at 10th and Broadway for two hours before coming back home. I had a new patient come in with incorrect orders and I had to call 20 doctors to get a hold of someone that would correct them. We ended up just running to Louie's and getting a wrap, so we will go to Norman tonight. I would love to ride my bike this morning but I can't walk down the hall without having a coughing fit! I know.... Poor baby!

Love you all!
