Random Notes

Happy New Year everyone. I've finally got my computer hooked up and am ready to continue blogging.

• I think I've made it a very happy holiday season for NFM. Not only did I purchase the new office furniture back in November, I also purchased a new office chair as well as a new chair for my TV room.
• Speaking of office furniture, I received delivery of the executive desk, the hutch, and the return on December 30th. Unfortunately, I miscalculated the measurements of the desk as it applies the doorway to my office--the desk was an inch and half too wide. After making a failed attempt to disassemble the desk (it was both glued and screwed together), MS and I decided to tear down the door frame in order to get the desk in. And of course, I will have to rebuild the door frame. But I plan to take it a step further and hire a construction contractor to build a door that's three inches wider than the original. That way, if I move out of the house, I can easily move the desk out the door. An extra, unplanned cost, granted. But dealing with a contractor will give me experience when other house remodeling projects (like new bathroom floors and new windows) become necessary.
• I spent New Year's Eve once again in Shawnee. Same group of friends as last year's celebration. This year, I was introduced to Texas Hold 'Em poker. Didn't fare too well but enjoyed trying to figure out how to play. Thank goodness we didn't play with real money or I would have been in the poor house.
• I agree with the statement that the Boise State-Oklahome football game shows that a playoff systerm in Division One football would work. This was a great game. Only the Nebraska-Miami game of 1984 was better, in my opinion.
