 |   You never know what you'll find - humor, ramblings, rants, randomness- it's all me! |
This description part is challenging. I never know what I will blog about until I start typing. I do know there will be typos. I don't reread or correct my blog. Otherwise it turns technical instead of my feelings and thoughts. Trust me, on stories and poems I'm a grammaraholic, but this is freedom. Sometimes to keep it from getting too personal, I even turn my head away while I type. Weird, right?. I hope you find this somewhat entertaining, thought-provoking, and humorous.   A little about me. The most important things in my life are family, especially my son, Reese, and my husband, Bruce, my walk with God, and making a positive impact in some way. I am a teacher, currently teaching 6th grade Language Arts. While at times my job can be trying, overall, it is one of the most rewarding passions in my life.   This is my wonderful son, Reese. He is now 20 and and a junior at Oklahoma State University. I may be partial, but he is an exceptional kid with the best heart I've ever known. He makes me laugh, think, and want to be a better person. We are both huge Oklahoma State Cowboy fans - Gooooooo Pokes!  This is Reese's dog, Betty. She shares a name with my mother. Reese named her that because she was beautiful and kind just like his Nanny (my mom). I'm not sure my mom is quite convinced it is a compliment though. Betty is a huge part of our family. She even had her own blog for awhile. Poke around at your leisure and shake your head at some of things that go through mine. I always return reviews/comments, though admittedly, sometimes it does take me awhile depending on what life is serving me at that point. Keeping the faith, Audra  |
| Some Buildings Just Give Off Vibes I haven't been watching Ghost Hunters with my husband, but I do believe that some buildings do have 'personalities'. Example: Today, I went to my 'pain doctor' to get shots in my back. Something I have done quite often in the last 2 years. We usually go to the north office but I couldn't get an appointment for a couple of weeks there, so I agreed to go to the south office. I mean, I'm on summer break so it's not like it's any big deal, plus, Bruce and I would get to try out a new restaurant. (We did; it was good. I give it a 7 out of 10 rating). When we got to the office, we both immediately felt weird - and it wasn't the Japanese food we ate. The thing is, apparently, the staff travels to the south side once a week or however so often too. Same receptionists, nurses, doctors, technicians. But both of us couldn't wait to get out of that building, which is odd in itself since we were getting into an un-air conditioned pickup truck on a 96 degree day with an hour and 1/2 ride home. This doesn't happen often, but once in awhile. It took us awhile to find a place to get married two years ago too. Face it, you don't want a bad karma location. But we eventually found a wonderful railroad warehouse that was built before 1900. Some friends of ours had bought it and are renovating the upstairs part to live in. It was perfect (well, it was a little warm - no air conditioning; what is it with me and no cold air?). The downstairs they have turned in to a place to have small parties/get togethers. Not to rent out (though they definitely could). It had great vibes; and it being free was an added bonus! As I sit here pondering what makes some buildings have good feelings and others not so great feelings and yet others are just buildings, I can't help realizing they are similar to the people we meet. Some are blessings, some make us realize we need to be more thankful for the ones that are blessings, and some are just people who don't affect us one way or another. But yet, to other people they might be the biggest blessing they've come upon. Okay, I need wine or either it's a reaction to the shots - I don't usually go deep. Honestly, I don't even understand the last paragraph I typed, but hey, that's just me. Definitely going back to north side office, Audra |
