Just so y’all know, I’m a left-leaning person. I’d like to think I have enough sense to know what’s right and what’s wrong with this world, but I know that one person, no matter who they are, doesn’t have everything. I do think that this current administration has done more to alienate the rest of …

The 800 miles story
It’s not that complicated, honestly. Laureen had an event at her director’s home in Austin in early September. Of course, when the home is in the million-dollar range, that makes it rather unique. We left Friday, driving the 315 miles from Dallas to Austin, arriving rather late Friday night (or even Saturday morning). We stayed …
Been a while
By the post date on my last short entry, it’s been over a month. I don’t have the time I’d like to tell some stories. Those will happen soon enough. Here’s a preview: Kevin, the intrepid geek, buys a computer case. Kevin and Laureen get sucked into hearing a timeshare pitch. Kevin and Laureen drive …

Workout update
Today was the first official weigh in. I’m down from 281 to 266. 15 pounds. That was my goal for the entire course, and I’ve done it in four weeks. Now, to just keep it off.
Rockin’ the Workout
I’m starting the third week of team training. It looks like I’ve lost about 15 pounds so far. However, I still always look for the closest parking spot to the front door of the gym. Some things don’t change. Thanks Eric and Analisa for letting us stay over! We had fun.
MK and Laureen
Laureen sells Mary Kay cosmetics. This past week, there was her quasi-geographical region/area/unit/agglomeration’s seminar at the Dallas Convention Center with other events held at the Hyatt Regency Reunion. In order to make life easier on us, we sent Jacob to my mom and dad’s house for the week (thank you, thank you, thank you so …
Feeling Better, Then Just Feeling It
If you haven’t stopped by Lopey’s Links yet, you’re missing my sad attempt at making a Fark.com clone with other “somewhat interesting but probably only to me” links. But I’m happy with it, and it keeps me out of trouble. This is the second week of my weight management/exercise program. It’s interesting. I’m on essentially …
And another thing
I’ve revamped Lopeyland. The site was dying. It’s now Lopey’s Links, with stuff I find interesting. Yes, I’m still working on the formatting.
Why I’m feeling down
I just looked at our bank account and have tried to make payments…. Sadly, we’re sliding even further into debt now. I personally feel responsible, since I’m the one who wanted to get everything going on the budget, and then I stopped doing it. And I stopped worrying about it. We’re approaching $30K in credit …
