hmmm....not a lot happening here in abq   this morn i sit with my coffee with half & half in lieu of coffeemate creamer   thought i'd treat myself   it does taste better with the half & half    anyways, Nicole left early this morn headed back to Ft Bliss   she was suppose to be in formation at 5am but didn't leave early enough, so i hope she doesn't get into trouble   kids seem more independent these days than when i was growing up   they seem to do whatever they damn well please    i think that's good in some sense, but could be a problem in the long run   who knows   just my thoughts.....anyways, last nite i watched the movie Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban   i was disappointed the second time around   i finished the book friday nite   the movie told the story, but in a different way   not in the order as the book was written   plus i felt they left out some important details   so now i'll watch the first 2 movies and see how close they are to the books as well    the books are much more enjoyable   i'll be starting book 4 today or tomorrow    i have about 10 days before my class at church begins   i've never felt more ready for more spiritual learning until now    all the fear and confusion from my illness has subsided   i'm clearer and more focused than ever   i have a bit of confidence back in my belt as well    now all i need is to be retired and going to school also completing my bachleors......

now for the next couple days....i hope to go hiking today   once finished with church i'll see how the weather is holding up or not     then manana, i'm cleaning up my study   it's dusty as hell among other things like paperwork piled everywhere    it'll be nice to have it cleaned again and rid of unnecessary garbage  ....well it's time to get ready for church     ....God Bless those people and states hit by Katrina   i pray life will be better soon for them....
