I'm in Ohio. Dayton, Ohio to be exact. I'm here for work. I've been to Marion, Chillicothe and Lima, Ohio also. I've learned a lot and have had a lot of fun the with guys that run and own these stores. It's easy to do my job when there are great people to work with. People that listen to my opinion and respect it. They may even do a few things that I have suggested.
I'm in the store right now at a corner table working and watching the Ohio St/Michigan game. They are crazy about their Ohio State football team - just like Nebraska is about the Huskers. The only difference? The Ohio State fans aren't annoying! At least I haven't met any.
I'll be back home tomorrow and then back to work in the Office on Monday. At least it will be a short week and then I'm heading to Denver the week after to see the Flackster. That will be fun.
Sometimes I feel guilty about traveling so much and not being home. I hate leaving Brently and Sydney at home. Other times I really think I like to travel because it makes me forget what I don't have and I'm usually so busy I don't have time to be sad. Sad about not have kids. Sadness that will always be with me. Sometimes the sadness isn't as strong, but it's always there. I was at a work thing where there were a lot of kids. My co-workers thought I wasn't happy because I didn't want to be there - it really wasn't my cup of tea, but to be honest, to see all of the happy kids with their parents just killed me. Don't get my wrong, I have my nephews and niece and I love them to death and I treat them like they are my own kids and I wouldn't trade them for anything, but it's not the same.
Wow - I really didn't mean to get into all of that. I guess that's what happens when I only blog once a month!
I'm excited for the short work week. Working Monday - Wednesday and then home for Thanksgiving. The day after will be my big shopping trip with Brently's mom and sister. It will be a lot of fun and I always look forward to it. I'm also looking forward to putting up the Christmas tree which I always do the day after Thanksgiving. I do it by myself and it's great. My sister has had her tree up for a few weeks now. I think she would keep it up all year long if she could.
I'm not looking forward to my flight tomorrow. My first flight is from Dayton to Cincinnati. That's only about 50 miles. It's like flying from Omaha to Lincoln. Then from Cincinnati to Omaha. I asked Brently if he wanted a Bengals shirt or shot glass - he didn't.
I guess that's all for now...until last month....
