PS
I was only able to catch the last part of Beyonce and the first dance for Pres.&First Lady Obama but let me just say WOW!!! I'm usually a little ambivelent about Beyonce, could take her or leave her, but she really nailed this one big time. And what an awesome song, "At Last", I had to shed a tear or two just watching the happy couple.
Random thoughts
Six random thoughts ...hmmmm.
1. Funny, when one is asked about random thoughts, you suddenly have none.
2. I don't like the idea of "flesh toned" band aids. They are only "flesh toned" for a certain demographic.
3. Can I do the job I do for the rest of my working career? I'm not sure and it certainly depends on the day. Should I go back to school? But then what?
4. I'm lucky to have my health and need to take better care of myself which leads me to my recent decision to change my healthcare provider. Easier said than done though since I personally have a little hang up about scrubbing in for surgery with a physician and then going over to their office for a pap smear. So who do I chose? I know this is my own personal issue about the situation and that all of the providers would be completely professional about it and not give it another thought, just as I do when I take care of a co-worker. Still it feels a little too weird and I'm having a bit of a struggle with it.
5. I hate insomnia! Though I rarely sleep well, I've had a really bad last couple of nights, as in probably a total of three hours a night and not all together either. I need to look into Mindy's Heavenly Bed idea.
6. Happy Inaguration Day!!! Even though President Obama has stated repeatedly that we have a tough road ahead of us as a nation and it's going to take a lot of work to get us back on track, I still predict that it will be a very short time before the oh so fickle (and frankly, not very bright)general public starts to blame him for their sad state of affairs and will have completely forgotten how we got here. Unfortunately I think there will be a lot of "I knew they shouldn't have elected a black man" kind of comments. They bask in the glory of it all now, but will turn on a dime. Here's hoping I'm wrong and that his decisions will be judged on merit and not on color.

Carpe Diem
I seem to be experiencing technical difficulties but I shall persevere. Yes I'm still around, but have had a hectic few weeks: busy work schedule, hired new employee, Christmas (with all of my husband's family staying at our house) son with pneumonia, and bronchitis for me. There, that about sums it up.
We had the last Christmas party today. My side of the family at my parent's house. We also celebrated my father's 70th birthday and my parent's 50th wedding anniversary which are both today. We had a great time! My uncle, who lost his wife of 50 years this fall, was also there. He said he was planning a trip to Las Vegas this April and invited along any of us that wanted to go. So we started to make some tentative plans. I hope it comes to fruition. I gave my parent's a gift of a family portrait that we will take sometime this spring once we align everyone's schedules. Here's the glitch - I now have this feeling like I have jinxed us somehow. Like now what if the family isn't intact in the spring!!! Why did we wait??? I know I titled this blog "Tomorrow is Another Day" since I frequently say that at work. I say I take the Scarlet O'Hara approach to things and when people say "Huh??", I respond with "You know, tomorrow is another day." But I just as easily could have called it "Seize the Day" since that's more how I feel on a day to day basis. ANYWAY.... I just have this weird feeling now that I know we have this family "appointment" in the spring. I don't think I would be weirded out if there was, say a wedding scheduled this fall. I don't think I'd sit and think "Gee, that's a ways away, what if were not all still alive by then?" I usually have the feeling that none of us a guaranteed a tomorrow so try to make the most of the now, but for some reason this picture thing has put a bug in my bonnet. Strange.
