I tell you what, over on pogo.com, Stack 'Em is one really freaking addictive game. I can sit there and kill an hour thinking it' s only been 15 minutes. It doesn't really require you to be all that smart, you just have to be kind of quick.

Friday night went really well. Our dinner guests(Jason & Kim, and their little boy that's Travis' age, Noah) actually showed up 10 minutes early, which usually it seems like every time we have someone over, they're 15 minutes late and we start worrying the food's going to get cold before they get here. We really enjoyed having them over, not only because we need friends, but because we seem to have a lot in common with them. They have boys, we have boys. We have a lot of the same views and ideas on different issues. I think they realized that we are much more relaxed people than they thought we were, which is cool. The main reason we actually had them over was because they had a small job opportunity for Michael, and they wanted to come over and show us some stuff about the job. Jason is going on some 6-week-long job training in Dallas, so he can't do this other job since he'll be out of town. He has done this job for 6 years, but since he can't do it now, he thought of us to take it over for him. This is what will happen. About 3 or 4 weeks before Easter, FedEx will deliver a bunch of boxes to our house. These boxes contain printers, cameras, and related equipment used at malls all over the country for Easter Bunny pictures and Santa Claus pictures. Michael will get paid $200 per week to be on call for 4 weeks, store the boxes in our garage, fill out the FedEx slips and take the packages to the FedEx hub when these various malls call him when their equipment breaks down. On top of that, he will get paid for mileage, and if a mall located in say Little Rock or Jackson needs equipment, we can drive it to them and get paid $200 extra that day to cover our expenses for making the trip. The job lasts for 4 weeks during Easter, and 7 weeks during Christmas. We also have the option of keeping the equipment at our house during the off-times, and they will pay us just for storing the stuff at our house. It sounds too good to be true, I know, but Jason gave us all the information, and it sounds like easy money to me!

Tomorrow is Travis' dentist appointment, and I think we finally reasoned enough with him to where he'll do okay. (Still crossing my fingers and saying my prayers, though!) We are talking about signing him up for soccer, and we told him if he wants to play soccer, he needs to go to the dentist so he will have strong, clean teeth. I thought about this more later, and he's going to think he has to carry the ball down the field with his teeth or something! Okay, I'm kidding, the boy knows he has to kick the thing down the field, lol.

It's been a long day/night, so I am going to go jump in my jammies and pass out for the night!
