From the monthly archives: May 2004
I have been using a Canon Powershot S200 Digital ELPH, on loan from my brother until the return from our Virginia/Washington D.C. trip, as my camera of choice. It is a very easy-to-take-pictures-with kind of camera. With my Rebel, I know I’m taking pictures, you know I’m taking pictures, the whole world knows I’m taking [...]
Becky and I and Amy, a friend of Becky’s, and Mary, a friend of Amy’s, all met at Becky’s house yesterday. Music ties us all together, though we are all in different stages of our studies. I, the lowest on the totem pole, and probably the youngest of us four, am not currently studying music [...]
Today was my 2004 annual pap smear and exam. Dr. S was very encouraging about my health and becoming pregnant in the next 6 months. He was confused because in our talks in November, I had told him we would like to start trying around January of this year and he thought we had stuck [...]
I started off the weekend pretty much alone. David had to go to the Region XVIII TMEA meeting at Pflugerville High School and then to lunch with the CPMS and GMS staffs and I had fun with Mambo and a camera. Who knew we have the MOST PHOTOGENIC CAT on Earth?!

There is only one minor problem with my upgraded version of WordPress… and that is the login link tries to find the file back a directory (not in the current /wordpress/ directory) but that’s easy to get around. I have editted pictures from this weekend and am anxiously awaiting the posting of them, but I [...]
Dad Knight, I thought you’d get a kick out of this: Apparently, during our trip to Virginia/Washington DC in a few weeks, we will be able to witness the middle of mating season for the cicadas. Not just any cicadas… cicadas that wait 17 years between mating [...]
I have been so into this particular journal this week. It’s a direct reflection of my conversations with my husband. We are currently deciding between the high-option PPO and the high-option HMO. The HMO will cover 100% of costs (birth costing us only $140) while the PPO will cover 90% of costs and the birth [...]
Out of curiosity, I have begun to keep track of my base body temperature on a Basal Body Temperature chart which I created using Word (with the insert table feature). There were a few questions I had, but I think I’ve got it right… first of all, there are these “special” thermometers in Wal*Mart labeled [...]
The last (and by far biggest) band trip of the school year was to Fiesta Texas and involved sixth through eighth graders. David estimated there were around 300 kids but I think there were more like 250ish. Here is a slideshow of my pictures from [...]
Yesterday I found out that yet another friend is having a baby. First the Magee’s and Aiden was born on March 18, then the Hay’s and Hayden was born in April. Next up is David’s middle brother and they’re due in August with their 3rd. Then the Moultons due in early September. Lincolns are due [...]
Click here to view my first published iMix. Feel free to vote for it as well…I mean…I did.
I was going to wait a few days before updating this thing again (I’ve been on a posting streak lately) but I feel like typing about our morning. Apparantly, we were without electricity all night and the cats never once told us! David’s alarm went off at 5:15 and it was the single solitary working [...]
