Thursday Thirteen

1. I have been very lazy about writing lately, which bothers me. Hopefully doing the Thurs13 will inspire me to be more consistent with writing. Therapy, I tell you!

2. It isn't Thursday any more where I am right now. Thursday left 30 minutes ago. Now, taking that into consideration, I have three Thursdays left as a Texan.

3. I am contemplating not leaving Texas until July 17. Travis is competing in the Army Ten-Miler Fort Jackson Qualifier on the morning of the 18th. If I leave on the 16th, he will be up late on the night of the 17th waiting for us to get there. I want him to do well because he wants to do well. I would rather not keep him up that night.

4. We went to see "Angels and Demons" at the theater on-post tonight/last night (depending on how you look at it). It was good. It wont change the world, but it was good and I loved the cinematography. Way cool.

5. Tomorrow and Saturday are our last sporting events in Texas. Whew.

6. I did laundry today, pretty much all day, and I still have more to do.

7. Swamp coolers and humidity= cranky Stacie. 'Nuff said.

8. I had coupons for free coffee thingies at McDonald's so I took the kids there after track for a caffiene fix. I hate coffee, but they both like it. The lady at the window who took my order, who I always joke with, stamped the card four times. She rocks.

9. I made great BBQ pork sandwiches tonight using cheapie country-style ribs. I did a dry rub, crock-potted them, trimmed them up and shredded them, sauced them, and then we had them on whole-wheat buns. They rocked! Sadly, no BBQ remains.

10. Tomorrow is another fun-filled errand day before noon, then prep-mode for the track meet, then the 1st session of the track meet.

11. Dear Lord, Please help it not be scorching-hot at the UTEP track stadium tomorrow. Amen.

12. Dear Lord, Please help it not be scorching-hot at the UTEP track stadium Saturday. Amen.

13. Surprisingly, with as much as I have to say, I barely could come up with 13 different points to mention. Something must be wrong wtih me.
