The company has decided to move our cell phones over to the corporate plan and stop paying us directly for the use of our "personal" cell phones. In a way this kind of sucks, but heck it does make sense for the company. It made me realize how attached I have become to my cell phone and it's wonderful service (ok, there is a quick ad for Verizon) and hate the fact of having to mess up the account and go with the company plan and policies. I just have this funny gut feeling things are not going to be the same anymore with my cell phone services and I will be watched by corporate on my usage (that's the sucky part since I live on the internet and Blackberry Messaging between Ryan and I).
Ryan is another tech on the team and we both work the same region. From what he has been able to find out is that BB Messager will not work any longer if we move to the corporate email services. This is not good. So I am sitting here behind my desk going over the different pros and cons to moving to the corporate account. I guess I could try it for a few months (or in my case a few hours) and see if I can live with it. Technology addictions are bad things, mostly when you eat and breath stuff. One bright spot is that I could upgrade my Curve to the new Storm and see how well that works. oh decisions, decisions.....

To a very special mother.
For the past ten years Mothers Day has always been a real downer of a day for me. My mom (or Mum, at least I still swear to this day my 1st grade teacher told me that is how it was spelled) passed away very unexpectedly. She was a loving and caring person and mother. Don't get me wrong the poor lady had her problems, but she worked hard to make everyone else happy. I can say one thing though, she was a grandmother. Known as "Grammie" to the next generation was her life after her own kids grew up and left the nest. She loved each grandchild as if they were her own children, and in a why they were hers to claim. To the older grandchildren she will be the only Grammie in their lives, its to bad the younger ones won't have those same memories. I watch my youngest sister today raise her two kids in a world without Grammie and we both wish she could be here today to see what a wonderful job she is doing. Jac- mom would be so proud of you. I know I am. Heck, three dogs and Ron is enough for me! So here is to you Jac-Q - you are a great mom and Mother's Day is now a wonderful day to celebrate again. Thanks! Weezie

Hard to believe it has been over 2 weeks since I last wrote something for the blog. Between work and college classes I guess I have been a bit busy lately, however that is not a really good excuse.
Today is one of those days as we all get older like to forget even exists. Never been a big deal to me when the old birthday rolls around. I guess growing up with so many people in one household and having someone celebrating a birthday each month of the year kind of removes anything being special about the day. I actually forgot about it until I got a b-day greeting online from the neice and nephew. Thanks guys!
Okay, since it is one of those days that you should either look back or ahead and make some new goals, I am going to make a pledge to get back in shape and workout a bit more than I have been lately. I need to put together a workout schedule and stick to it. Before I know it I am going to be on the down side of the 40s and dreading every birthday. I don't feel like I am in my mid 40s, more like mid 30s. Which I guess is good since most woman my age have grown children by now and feel like they are over the hill. I actually feel like I am just getting started with my life. My goal is to be in shape and 15 pounds less then I am now by November. Looking forward to this challenge, I am pretty sure I am can accomplish it even before summer has turned into fall, but by giving myself 6 months makes it sound like a long term goal.
Looks like summer is just around the corner for this part of the country. FINALLY! Boy, it was a long winter. I need to go and pick up a couple of tomato plants for the garden and get those in the ground in the next couple of weeks. Had a lite frost the other morning, so I will hold off putting out something that hates the cold until the snow is gone from the mountain tops.
