My baby wants pictures!

GET SOME! GET SOME! It might have been my first time sailing in the physical world, but I've been sailing in my mind for years and years!

Romancing my true love

I didn't practice this in my mind.

It took me 30min. to dig the 1.5 foot hole. "Build your house on rock" He said.

Crap! nothing is easy in this race.

CHEEEZZZ

Brittan's new chop job. She is 8mph faster and I can't catch her on my 18 speed.

bubble bath for BB head. Torture or pleasure? You decide.

10 of the latest ain't the greatest

Update short and sweet
1.I added ads to the blog. They pay me every time somebody clicks on it, so get clicking. I'm also curious as to the kind of ads that match my site, which they say they will. If anybody sees too much flesh or flesh like temptations PLEASE let me know, I'll drop it like a ___ in a ____ with a _____ .

2. My seniors loved my new method of grading for the next 9 weeks. They applauded! It's simple, they earn the actual points. If they earn a total of 60 points and are happy with a 60, they don't have to do anything else, they get a 60 for the 9 weeks. They can finish in 5 weeks with a 60 if everything they do is perfect.

3.We got a Mystery date tonight. 3 couples try to solve a mystery, should be fun. I'm a Russian rocket scientist. I'm trying not to think of it as a communist nerd. Christine is Miss Kansas who was engaged to the dead guy bar-b-queing in a thunderstorm. I hope we get together:)

4.3 days of sunshine and 5-10 mph wind and no school. Time for a boat run!!!!!! water is still cold though:(

5.Brittan has fleas

6.The church put me in charge of the kayak group. About 15 people signed up for it. I got to call to set up the meet and greet. We are suppose to talk about God and go kayaking.

7.The trees I planted have not died yet.

8.Christine and I went to an Italian resturant for valentine's day and the food was worth the $1,000 we spent on it. The jazz players had more jazz in their face movements than in their instruments, which was entertaining. We had fun.

9.We finally know for sure when the trash man comes and the recycle man. Sat and Wed =trash, friday morning before 0500 for recycle. That was for my future reference.

10.I absolutely LOVE IT down here. And Christine is starting to see how she might be able to absolutely love it down here too, maybe. We got a few more kinks to work out.

Be cool and remember the only thing that counts is your focus on God and realizing the magnitude of HIS Love, Wisdom, and Power in your life.

Big investment into something really small

Well! I finally did it! I put my money where my mouth is. For those who know me well can testify that I'm a big talker about nanotechnology and how it's going to change the world. And just to let you know, I have still not found anyone that I can have a good conversation about it. It's always just me talking to someone who thinks I watched one too many episodes of Star Trek.( Which I did enjoy watching)

I cashed out my 401k and opened a rollover IRA where I can invest in the stocks that I choose. That whole process was very educational. I then bought about 1,000 shares of stock called TINY. It's a company named Harris & Harris group and they invest money into several nano and micro companies. The companies range from manufacturer of clothes, medical, construction, and technology. Not to forget about companies that make equipment for the research and manufacturing. A well rounded portfolio kinda like a mutual fund. The guy on the phone called it something that I can't remember. I'm still not savvy on the lingo.

So to make a long frustrating process short I got everything ready to go and I was trying to buy the actual stock on line. Of course I don't want to wait until I can talk to the broker guy who was willing to help me through the process. I just want to hit the BUY button. Kinda reminded me of the "Watch this" phase I'm not quite out of yet.

It was about 10:00 at night and every time I tried to buy for the next day the fidelity web page showed an error. So at about 11:30 it finally went through error free. I couldn't wait to check it the next day after school, so during the quiz, I gave yesterday, I got online and cheeked it. I lost $400 in 3 hours! I laughed. Just like the "Watch this" phase I'm not quite out of yet.

I got to constantly remind myself that this is a 5-10 year investment. I'm sure Microsoft and apple had slow starts too. And I'm absolutely trusting God on this one. I honestly feel like this is a smart move with the money He gave me. I would like to be the servant who makes ten times more than his master gave him. Or he could teach me that I don't need a lot of money to do what He wants me to do. Love, Wisdom, and Power is in full effect for this transaction.

Well I got to go change the brake pads on the Nissan, hopefully it'll be free of good stories.
