Creativity is one of my wife's greatest and best qualities. She has created more art out of different media than I have phalanges. She has used paint and canvas, stained glass, baskets and tissue paper, beads, wrapped wire, fabric, paper and stamps, broken ceramic tile and grout, cookies and icing, ceramics and paint, photo editing software and a printer, scrapbooks, bells and wires, some white glue stuff from Norway, picture frames and embellishments, charcoals and paper, markers and paper, wire mesh, tin and soldier, diamond light lens and glue, clay, and small glass stones. However, as we all know, all of this media is lifeless without the artist's imagination and creativity which is my wife's greatest artistic ability. Her creations are thoughtful and created with a piece of her in each one. When she creates a gift for someone she tailors the gift to the individual. God has given my wife great artistic ability, even if she does not see it that way, and I love this quality about my wife. Thank you for the numerous gifts you have made me. Well I was making the salad and remembered my wife's newest medium. My wife is talented and creative writer. She writes on paper and her blog, see links for kpjara.

Transition Time
Well, as the semester has ended I am in that familiar transition period. During this time I always feel like I need to be studying something or completing an assignment but I do not. I am looking forward to eating lunch with my wife and not getting up early. This is where I am at so my question is "Where you at?"

No More Excuses
Well the semester has ended and now the waiting game begins. I would like to thank my wife, my mother in law, and my mother in law's cousin for a wonderful graduation party. My wife has played and invaluable role in my education and I could not have done it without her support. I have accepted a position in my current city and I am scheduled to begin after the first of the year. I just wanted to update the uncountable amount of people on the internet that may or may not be reading this blog. I have no more scholastic excuses for not posting.

Wow, he is on a roll!
Well this is 2 consecutive days that I post on the old blog. Anyway today was a school free day. I did trim the hedge and my very helpful nephew mowed the front and back lawn. After weed eating we had lunch. Anyway it is a relaxing day and I look forward to more days like this post graduation. I am off to make CDs.

Update For My Readers.
Well, you may thought I disappeared from the face of the earth unless you know otherwise. {you know who you are :) } Two weeks ago I went to the career fair and spoke to 16 companies. I was nervous but after the 3rd encounter it got easier. I interviewed with National Instruments, based in Austin TX. It was my first interview for an Engineering job. I was blindsided by two computer programming questions. I assure you that I will be better prepared in the future. My team and I delivered our Preliminary Design Review to our customer. The PDR went well and we will adjust our design based on our customer’s response. I was very nervous for both the interview and the PDR. The PDR was video taped and we will watch the video on Tuesday.

Talking in Circles
On the way to the Engineering Library I was thinking about a blogger’s responsibility to his or her blog. What responsibility do I have to my blog or is my responsibility to my reader(s). Do I need to post something everyday or every week or some other interval? Anyway I realized it should be enjoyable for me to write and post and certainly should not seem like a chore. Inevitably my thought process came back to reason the blog was started, was it started my personal release through writing or to comment on social issues or to post family photos? Anyway I talked myself around a circle.
P.S. School is going well. Thermodynamics is way too early in the morning and the instructor in the Senior Lab always runs long and yet no one leaves this class. I hope all of my reader(s) are will. Thank you taking the time to read this post.

Stop Dissesting
As I sit here thinking of what to type I thought of the title “Stormy Monday” and the first sentence was, “I do not know if it will rain today.” This does not seem profound enough to start an entry next thing I know I am dissecting every word that I think of to type. Obviously, we all know it is Monday and I made it to Thermodynamics today. We are still defining things. Today is the day to sign up for the Fundamentals of Engineering exam which is the first step in becoming a Professional Engineer. I have been asking people if I can use them as references. The good news there has not been any homework assigned.
I hope all of you have a GREAT DAY!

Comparison
I have thought about shutting this blog down because I do not write witty or insightful post (for now anyway). So I asked myself why I started this blog. Truthfully I know nothing about HTML and I want to know some HTML so I can help my wife with posts on her blog.

Annoying Failure
Okay, so apparently Blogger does not support the blink tag? but Marquee is cool and it would be very annoying to have a long post on I am still bummed out about blink working not working.

Number 1 or 0?
This is number 1 or 0 post depending on your school of thought. I am not sure if you will find interesting reading here or just words.
