Randomness, Randomness, Is What I Live For
• Probably only two people will actually get the significance of that title, but that’s okay…lol!
• The Space Shuttle Endeavor, carrying a teacher trained as an astronaut, just landed safely. I will never ever forget Christa McAuliffe and the space shuttle explosion back in 1986. I was 19 and working as a receptionist for a janitorial service, and I often drove home for lunch. My mom called me before I left because she didn’t want me to hear the news on the radio while I was driving on the freeway “and have a wreck” as she put it. I even still remember what I was wearing.
• My doctor’s office called yesterday to schedule an appointment to talk about my test results and send me to a specialist. I’m trying to remain calm by telling myself that if they were really worried they would send me straight to the specialist with no visit in between. So I’m hoping the specialist is a “just to make sure” kind of thing. But prayers and good thoughts are appreciated. (And no I don’t know anymore than that yet. I’ll see the doctor tomorrow.) Just what I needed - one more thing to worry about. :P
• We are finally going to see Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix tonight. It was actually my least favorite book of the series, mostly because the character of Dolores Umbridge made me sooooo angry.
• Speaking of the series, after I read book 7, I went back to the beginning and read all of the books over again. I enjoyed them just as much the 2nd time! I’m now rereading book 7. I don’t know what on earth I’m going to do once I’m done - no more Harry Potter. Until the next movie comes out anyway. *sniffle*
• Normally we go on vacation the first week of September, so I’d be getting ready for that, but we’re having to put vacation off for awhile because of that nasty little thing called “money”. Things are a little tight right now, but they will be getting better soon. And with all this medical stuff going on, it’s probably better to wait until things are a little more settled on that front. I haven’t heard back from my cardiologist regarding the CT Scan yet, but I’m expecting that call any day now. Yay.
• Forgot one of my random points! For those who don’t know I have a little TV blog where I rant and rave about my favorite television shows. I get an average of 3 hits per day, so it’s not really a big deal, but I enjoy writing entries over there, so I keep doing it. However, another much more popular blog linked to one of my posts and in the past two days, I’ve gotten around 300 hits! I doubt most of those people will ever come back, but it’s fun to see your blog get a gazillion hits now and then…lol!

I was so relieved the shuttle landed safely. I remember everything the days we lost Challenger and Columbia :(
Definitely praying hard for you ((((Karin))))
I’ve seen Phoenix twice. I want to flick her in the nose. But I can’t wait to read the book!

I will definitely pray for you my dear….It is so disconcerting to get a message like that…! BTW: For some reason, there isn’t a “name” in the name box….Weird…I dearly hope things ease up financially, too, so you can get that vacation…!
