Well, I did some more work on my daughters website, www.annamarietownsend.com and now she has a gallery with her pictures, a blog she can write in, and a guestbook to sign. If you go to the site, leave her a nice guestbook entry please, remember, she's only 9.

Well, I had some time on my hands recently (If you read the dentist post below, you know what I mean) so I went to godaddy and spent 4 hours looking up domains that have the word game(s) in it. I finally came across one that wasn't taken (Miracle of miracles!!!!) and jumped on it.

Well, they're all a pain in the ass lol.

It's been a long, LONG week and lot's of missed work due to a serious abscessed (sp?) tooth which caused unspeakable pain throughout my entire jaw and into the back of my head whenever I drove my truck, mostly, I think, because of all the vibrations. So anyhow, I got an emergency appointment at a dentist 70 miles away (All the ones here were booked solid for a month) and after missing 3 days of work, I finally went to him

Well, it's been a rough week or so. I had the Flu. I hope it was the flu anyhow, at times it seemed more like pnumonia than a normal cold. I missed Friday,  the weekend, and then Monday through Thursday at work, which is terrible because I am not going to have a paycheck next week.

Well, it's another day off wasted... I slept until 2 in the afternoon which I had no intention of doing, as I like to get the most out of my days off. I suppose sleeping is one way of doing that, after all, but I mean more along the lines of being awake and getting things done.  I am thinking about selling off my 210 pounds of legos, but I'm not sure how I want to go about doing it. I could sell it all in a giant bulk lot, but I'm worried I won't make back what I paid to get them in the first place.

Boy am I worn out after last night...  (Sounds like a cheap erotic novel beginning, doesn't it? HA!) 

My day started like most other days. I called my wife to say hi while I was on my way to work, talked for a few minutes, got to work around 10 minutes past 6am, went in to get my assignments for the day and was given a Chevron job. I had to drive out from Ft. Stockton to Cyanosa Tx, not too far really, about 30 miles total from where we are to the entrance of the ranch, but that is where it gets tricky. The ranch roads, primarilly made up of dirt and clay, wind around the open ranges like rattlesnakes, going in every direction with no real way of finding the right way to go other than useless, outdated, and maddeningly meaningless maps we're provided. So, the 30 minute drive to the ranch is the easy part. The 4 mile drive to get back to the tanks we have to empty is another hour on top of it. The truck bounces around, throwing you back and forth and up and down in your seat. I'm telling you, my kidneys and other internals are really taking a beating from this job. Anyhow, to make a long, very boring story short, yet still boring, I got loaded up with the water, drove the hour and a half back to our disposal and got rid of the stinky crap.

We would like to introduce a new gift website that is sure to make your gift shopping much simpler! GetYourGiftsNow.com would like to extend our warmest welcome to you.

I have always loved dolls. My family and friends thought this passion would diminish once I grew out of my teens but now that I am in my 30’s they know dolls continue to be a safe bet on what to purchase for me for that special gift. In my home town of Midland, Michigan we are fortunate to have Secrist Toys where you can take your child and they can assemble their own dolls from scratch. This gives them great pride and allows them room for individuality. It is a special treat for school classes and groups of girls like brownies and 4-H.
