It's Been One Week.....

This was a great song by Bare Naked Ladies....and it describes how long we've been living in Texas.  It is hard for me to think of living here as it still feels like we are on vacation.  We have experienced our second snow event and are working through the kinks of finding a place for all of our stuff.....that is, all of the stuff that is not in a storage unit.  We are also working on internet and computer issues.  I suppose that is just part of the moving process.  Everyone has asked "how do you like it so far?"  I really don't know.  We haven't had an opportunity to really experience anything Texas due to the weather (except the weather and the wind) and haven't been able to do the things one does when one moves...whatever that might be.  We did make it out to see about changing our driver's licenses from Alabama to Texas.  I wasn't able to get a Texas driver's license at this time because we weren't in my car.  Your car has to be registered before you can be a registered driver in the state of Texas.  Who knew?  We didn't, but now we do.  :-)  Edward was able to get his driver's license because he told them his car was still in Alabama.....they let him get away with this.  I, however, didn't think that was fair that he was allowed to get his license on a technicality.

I will take the car back another day to make it official here but I will not remove my University of Alabama tag off the front of my vehicle.  Don't know if that will keep me from getting a tag or not, but hey, if it does, so be it.  Right?  I will just move quietly between two states and know that I can live and drive in either place. 

In previous blogs I've mentioned that the state of Texas is flat.  One thing I forgot to mention is that I am taller than most trees!

I'm just sayin',

Yeah, umm... probably not the best time to tell you this, but Texas requires a registration tag on the back AND front of the vehicle. Hey! You can always tape the UA tag in your back window!

The Future of Farm Town

If you are an active member of Facebook, you are more than likely familiar with, on an intimate basis, a game called Farm Town. Farm Town is a virtual farm. You plow your land, plant your crops and reap the rewards (coins) of selling those crops at harvest time. You even have the ability to "prostitute" yourself in the village market by offering to harvest other farmers' crops. You can sell your farm for larger farms, purchase silos, waterwells, logs, barrels, pigs, chickens, roosters, goats....you get the picture. You beg your "farming" friends to send you gifts of animals and trees so that you will not have to make these expensive purchases yourself. After all, you are saving your coins so that you can buy that farming mansion and pond you've been lusting after on the neighboring farm. However, the future of Farm Town may be compromised. My son called earlier to let me know Facebook had a new virtual farm game called Farm Ville. He's at level ...

Revolution!

In 1968, the Beatles wrote a song entitled “Revolution”…which is the theme of my blog today. I believe it’s time for a good, old-fashioned revolution, or at the very least, a mediocre civil war between the conformists and non-conformists! You see, I’m a non-conformist…I refuse to go along with the crowd…a rebel per se! I march to the beat of my own drum. If I were born in a different time period, I would have been riding astride when all the other ladies were riding side-saddle. I would have been on the battlefield reloading muskets, wearing britches, while all the other ladies were taking care of the wounded. We have a president in office who has touted ‘change, change, change’ ever since he became the democratic nominee for president. However, his big plans for change have done nothing but flop like a fish on dry land. Everyone wants change, but we want change for the good of all, not for the good of those who choose to avoid work, moral ethics and abuse my tax dollars. I’m ready for...

21st Century Technology

Sometimes, living in the 21st Century, isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Sure, electronic technology is great. But have you ever sat down and pondered exactly what has been laid to the wayside by electronic technology? Letter writing – I can send you an e-mail, any time night or day, but it doesn’t seem as personal as sitting down and writing my thoughts to a friend or loved one, in my own hand-writing. It takes a little more time, but it is well worth the effort. Christmas, birthday, get well cards, etc. – When was the last time you actually mailed a birthday card, Christmas card, get well card or “thinking about you today” card? I mailed cards this past Christmas and will hold tight to this tradition for as long as I am able. A personalized electronic card is nice as is an e-mail full of well-wishes for the holiday and New Year, but again, there is something quite special about receiving that personalized card in the mail. And don’t you just love finding things in your mailbox t...
