Since no one really reads this blog, I decided to go ahead and update for myself.
Summer has mostly been about work. We did a little bit of fun things like go to Family events and only go to visit the beach once or twice. And that too was for family events inside a building. I managed to escape a little and walk around the sands of time. The ocean was very inviting in Cayucos even though it was slightly cold.
We did go to the Mid State Fair a few times and did not go see any concerts. I'm hoping to go visit a few graveyards that are in the Jardine area of Paso. There is a tiny little church with a white picket fence around it and in the back of it, you can see the head stones pop over the fence even while driving by. This would make a great black and white photo. I miss not having my camera with me. A little bit further down the road is another graveyard that just sits there on a corner where the roads bends down. Further down is Star Farms. I'll be there on the coming Saturday which I still need to hunt down a Hawaiin dish for.
Yea, it is getting late right now and probably should go to bed. I'm thinking of getting new software for Family Tree that will handle Vista. The current one I have does not support it.
Labor day weekened was nice! Spent Sunday going down to Vandenberg AFB and picked up honey and we drove not much around in his necck of the woods. Instead we relaxed together in the morning time and went for lunch. Went to San luis and he bought me a brand new laptop!
I'm using it right now! This is a HP Pavillion dv5. Has webcam built in and reads Blue Ray as well. That was a shock to both of us. The price was great. Came out to $810. I'm trying to get used to using Vista. It is different but I'm liking it.
Well, we spent Sunday evening playing some Guild Wars with Lill and Todd and then came back to Paso. Did some laundry, relaxing and hoped to use the spa. It was not working at the time.
I'm pet and house sitting for a while. Until Margaret and her hubby come home from their vacation. My last day of work is Sept. 12th and I have been bad and not worked on my resume lately. They have an addicting game here in the Wii. Mario Galaxy!
We are now covered with Medical Insurance through Randy's new job. Took us a long while to get it! I will have start looking for a new job soon too. I have not seen anything much that interests me in the Santa Maria area.
Time to go, getting late!

Changes are in the air!
I've noticed Blogger is more quieter than myspace and will probably blog away on here more often. I will be changing up the layout pretty soon, this one is getting pretty old. Besides Mypace is much to populated and I had to change the privacy settings to public for some friends/family who wanted to read it. These people do not actaully have an account with Myspace and with the previous settings on it, only friends with an account can read it. I will be changing up the settings!
I will continue to post blogs there but they will be copied over to here. I do not garuantee to continue blogging at Myspace, I may just come back to blogger completely.
Ok. Besides letting you know about that, today is Saturday September 1st 2007 Labor Day weekend! I can't believe it is already September. My Birthday is coming up in 2 months and Thanksgiving and Christmas will be here soon as well.
Some of the changes I made this summer where taking down my domain name through Go Daddy. Gekkani does not exist anymore. The site is still there, a one pager apologizing to everyone. I was paying maybe 10 bucks for 2 years for it, which is worth it. However, with us moving we may not have the time nor the internet for a while to mess with it. I thought it was not worth working on the site for a while. Lately I've been wanting to start working on bits of it when there is time available. Of course, it would be "Why?" and "What would I put on it?" Nevermind my babbling, I'm still thinking about it.
These days I'm currently thinking about the Pure Romance Party I will be hosting for Danielle on the 21st. So far I've had many positive notes from people wanting to come. It may be a nice success! Today I'm suppose to finish up laundry cleaning and maybe some picking up in the kitchen. It is a must! Then I can plan the decorations and what to bring out for food.
Randy is in the shower and I'm sitting at the computer starving. LOL
Other future things include us preparing for the move in October. We have heard from Sheperd AFB and they are now past the first phase. That was all about making corrections. Now the 2nd phase is the last and I don't know what that includes. We know we should hear back what the verdict is in 3 weeks whats to happen. We could be out of here sooner.
My current plays: Neverwinter Nights
Tomb Raider Lost Artifact has been back burned again. I was playing it for a while until recently. Waiting for Sims: Cruise!
Current Reads: Mandy Series: The Talking Snowman
The 3rd book in the series.
Current Projects: A lapghan for Jeannie. It has 2 different purples.
Fav Current Shows: Stuff on Disney, Ghost Hunters.....
Current Netflix Movies: Dead Like Me Season 2 Disc 1 & 2, Escaflowne and Mermaid Forest
How is Work? Morning shifts. 7-330 most days or 11-7 on a couple days and once a week it's 6am-130
That is about it for now. I have pancakes cooking!

Reading the Bible ~Changing it to the way I can understand it
Leviticus 19:4
"Do not turn to Idols, nor make for yourself molded gods: I am the Lord your God."
English version:He is a Jealous God. He wants to be number in your life. Why do we put other things before him in the first place? Because we are human! It is a choice we make, good or bad ones at that. We just have to decide who or what is more important. Like he says, you either "Walk in the Flesh or Walk in Spirit."
Lev 19:3
"Honor your father and mother."
English version:
This is a very simple commandment. Notice the Bible says nothing about "Honor your parents if you think they deserve it." Your parents are human too and may have had many mistakes. You cannot just say, "I was their mistake." This does not make you any better. God still expects you to honor them anyway. Young people who hate their parents and do not respect them have allowed a rebellious attitude (spirit) to enter their lives. This is ultimatly not against their parents but against God who gave them their parents. This sin leads right into deep psychological problems and other tragedies.
Lev 19:13
"You shall not cheat your neighbor, nor rob him."
Lev 19:18
You shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the Lord."
English Version:
People who are healthy naturally take care of themselves and do those things that are in their own interest. This is how God wants us to think about and care for others close to us. In a sense, if you steal from neighbor, your stealing from yourself. If you are friends with that person, things can make matters worse. What if your not friends with them? Well, you don't seem to care at all ~ meaning you dont seem to care nor respect Yourself. A person who does this literally, they dont love themselves. God wants us to love ourselves first before we can love others. Meaning, take care of yourself!
Lev. 19:16
"You shall not go about as a talebearer among your people, nor shall you take a stand against the life of your neighbor. I am the Lord."
English Version:
Hello Gossipers! This goes for those who also are critical or judgemental, backstabber ones as well. Well this is how I am understanding this verse. Hmm. What exactly is a talebearer? They tell Tales, go around maybe spread some rumors or even mock others because we look, smell, believe in something you don't like. The second half of this...I misunderstood at first. I thought it should be ok to stand up for those you love. I'm thinking if you love your neighbor as yourself and someone else pops in the picture to hurt them of any sort, wouldn't you stand up for them? Or try to protect them? Then again this may also be saying, "Do not rise up and be against this person just because they are human." We tend to be critical or judgemetal about any issue with anyone just because. You could say they don't like this person because they suddenly change and we don't know how to take it. So we automatically click into "safe mode" and guard against it. Then you will be wondering what happened to "Love thy neighbor as yourself" and you will be going "huh." What happened? Where is the peson I used to know? We are all humans! If you love or care for someone, we should not be critical or judgemental towards them. If you are good person, why not get to know someone for who they are. Not for what they do, believe in or have. Now that is true friendship.
There are many other quotes I can pick out but these were a few that were interesting.
