Crazy life

Well it's march and seeing as I only posted once in Feb, and it's already March 8th...I'm off to a fine start! I don't know why I'm having trouble posting, but I've been terrible at just about everything that has to do with the internet. Well that's not totally true, if it's in my e-mail (both home and work) or on CNN.com or various other sites I browse at work then I'm on top of it. Facebook and blog sites don't come in to play there and thus....I'm being such a slacker! I don't even check facebook everyday (and if you knew me 9 months ago, you'd think I was lying, I had it open constantly while at school) I guess somethings change when you get a job in the real world. Another difference is that I actually know what's going on in the world. I read CNN daily (when at work) especially on my morning shifts, I've read all the "news" by 7am and when people talk about it like it's new (it is to them) at 10am or later, I'm like I've already read that! It's crazy. A year ago or two I didn't know anything, ever. I told Adam that he needed to be my CNN so that I knew what was going on. Now I'm on top of it. I know all about the daily reports about the nation's economy...the heated political race (again a new thing for me is to watch and care about that)...top stories of the day. It's crazy really. Anywho that's life for me and the internet!

Last week I started working evening shifts, I wasn't sure how I'd like them because I like getting off at 3 and having the rest of the day for me, but I do like them. Things are a bit slower (because it's not "working" hours), and time goes by faster. I don't get tired during the shift which is great! I'm excited that evening shifts are in the works now. It's convective season scheduling so when storms break out, I'll be there, very exciting. I was extremely excited last weekend about the storms coming though OK and KS. People think I'm crazy, but I missed what I call "real" storms. Storms are just a different breed out in the east. I missed what I grew up with! I'm so thankful to be back in the plains! It was all I hoped for, a huge lighting show, great squall and some supercells with tornadoes. With the active pattern we've had thus far this winter I have a feeling this spring will be wild! I hope so, I'm looking forward to working it. Maybe some chasing as well!

Thursday night I got to see Carrie Underwood and Keith Urban in concert! It was great and I got to go with Sarah, Amy and Matt. Carrie was wonderful, but we were so far away it was really hard to see her. I sang (probably to everyone around me's annoyance) each song, because I love her songs! However, even though I don't like Keith as much, and didn't know all of his songs he is a better performer! He was crazy and got out in to the audience and people were attacking him and he just kept singing and smiling. I've never seen such a thing at a concert. His camera work was great too..the camera's that show him on the screen behind him, you can tell he's got some money. However I was disappointed that the two didn't sing a duet...you'd think they could have. It was great though! Next is Sugarland in May! If you have the chance see them!


I forgot my camera for this concert, but here is Carrie when I saw her in 2006, it was outside at night thus it's so dark!


Sending all my love!
