• What great goals you have....
  
  I am so HAPPY my kids went back to school.
  
  I wish we could all be trust fund babies so we did not have to work all the time...
  
  I'm IN!

• I like those. I don't really do resolutions.
  
  I think the cow skull would make a fine mantle piece. Just sayin'...
  
  Oh, and I T-13'd this week. Yes, it's also a verb now.

• OK, I'm a big fatty fat butt, so maybe I just don't "get" this. How much weight can there be to lose if you're running marathons and 25Ks? It seems to me that whatever you've got, if you can carry it that far, it can't be that bad...
  
  But, I'm serious, I've never been a "fit" person, so I may as well be discussing anatomy with a person from another planet. I really don't know what I'm talking about here.
  
  Sorry, my brain just shorted out there... Thanks for stopping by my blog. I always like your visits, and reading your posts.

• Congrats on your win! Wow, your kids had some serious time off! Weren't they bored out of their skulls?? Hmm, the cow skull, very Georgia O'Keefe, but I don't think I could do it either! Good luck on your race. You are more woman than I could ever hope to be!!

• Wasn't that media coverage awful? Texas deserved way better. Front page story. "USC Can't Handle the Truth, Hogs Spotlight"

• The first time I saw Nick's apartment I couldn't take my eyes off that skull - it's like it was watching me! (Of course, the first thing I noticed was the big-assed Texas state flag - put a pole under the thing and you could sleep a family of 12!)
  
  Best of luck at Bandera (and of course, congratulations on the weddin'! Post pictures!!!!)

• Happy Thursday 13. I think in this day and age, it's difficult to keep in touch with friends. We're all so busy with work, errands and our families. Thank goodness for IM and email. I think that helps a lot.

• Great list!
  
  And #5...I vowed that I would never let a day go by that I didn't tell my kids that I love them and to this day, I have kept that promise. They are 17 and 20. They usually hear it quite a few times a day even! ;) A great resolution!
  
  Oh and Hook'Em Horns!!!! We are a Longhorn household, and there was celebrating done last night! LOL

• I'm with on the resolution thing... I'm not big into them mostly 'cause I usually forget what I resolved to do in the first place!!
  
  A cow skull, eh?

  "Who is this who darkens
  counsel By words without
  knowledge? Now prepare
  yourself like a man; I will
  question you, and you shall
  answer Me.
  
  "Where were you when I
  laid the foundations of the
  earth? Tell Me, if you
  have understanding. Who
  determined its measurements?
  
  Surely you know! Or who
  stretched the line upon it?
  To what were its foundations
  fastened? Or who laid its
  cornerstone, When the
  morning stars sang together,
  And all the sons of God
  shouted for joy? "Or who
  shut in the sea with doors,
  When it burst forth and
  issued from the womb;
  When I made the clouds
  its garment, And thick
  darkness its swaddling
  band; When I fixed My
  limit for it, And set bars
  and doors; When I said,
  'This far you may come,
  but no farther, And here
  your proud waves must stop!'
  
  "Have you commanded the
  morning since your days began,
  And caused the dawn to know
  its place, That it might take hold
  of the ends of the earth, And
  the wicked be shaken out of it?
  It takes on form like clay under
  a seal, And stands out like a
  garment. From the wicked
  their light is withheld, And
  the upraised arm is broken.
  
  "Have you entered the springs
  of the sea? Or have you walked
  in search of the depths? Have
  the gates of death been
  revealed to you? Or have
  you seen the doors of the
  shadow of death? Have
  you comprehended the
  breadth of the earth?
  
  Tell Me, if you know all this.
  
  "Where is the way to the
  dwelling of light? And
  darkness, where is its
  place, That you may
  take it to its territory,
  That you may know
  the paths to its home?
  
  Do you know it,
  because you were
  born then, Or because
  the number of your days
  is great? "Have you
  entered the treasury
  of snow, Or have you
  seen the treasury of hail,
  Which I have reserved
  for the time of trouble,
  For the day of battle
  and war? By what way
  is light diffused, Or
  the east wind scattered
  over the earth?
  
  "Who has divided
  a channel for the
  overflowing water,
  Or a path for the
  thunderbolt, To
  cause it to rain
  on a land where
  there is no one,
  A wilderness in
  which there is no
  man; To satisfy
  the desolate waste,
  And cause to spring
  forth the growth of
  tender grass?
  
  Has the rain a
  father? Or who
  has begotten the
  drops of dew?
  
  From whose
  womb comes
  the ice? And the
  frost of heaven,
  who gives it birth?
  
  The waters harden
  like stone, And the
  surface of the deep
  is frozen. "Can you
  bind the cluster of the
  Pleiades, Or loose the
  belt of Orion? Can you
  bring out Mazzaroth in
  its season? Or can you
  guide the Great Bear
  with its cubs? Do you
  know the ordinances of
  the heavens? Can you
  set their dominion over
  the earth? "Can you lift
  up your voice to the clouds,
  That an abundance of water
  may cover you? Can you
  send out lightnings, that they
  may go, And say to you,
  'Here we are!'? Who
  has put wisdom in the mind?
  
  Or who has given understanding
  to the heart?
  
  Who can number the clouds
  by wisdom? Or who can pour
  out the bottles of heaven,
  When the dust hardens in
  clumps, And the clods cling
  together?
  
  "Can you hunt the prey for
  the lion, Or satisfy the appetite
  of the young lions, When they
  crouch in their dens, Or lurk
  in their lairs to lie in wait?
  
  Who provides food for
  the raven, When its young
  ones cry to God, And
  wander about for lack
  of food?
  
  Best Wishes,
  Dr. Howdy
  
  P.S. You have a riveting web
  log and undoubtedly must have
  atypical & quiescent potential
  for your intended readership.

  You and my wife should get together on this one. She mentions this after Christmas every year. & With good reason, I might add.

• My father had a HUMAN SKULL from his medical school days in our basement. Now that creeped me out!!

• I don't mean he went to medical school in our basement. I meant the skull was in our basement. Heh heh.

• i tackle a section of my flowerbed each year, we've been in this house 11 years and i'm not done yet, but there are parts i still want to go back to and re-do, i'll never be done but i like doing it, so it's not a chore.
  those are great goals, my biggest problem is keeping in touch with friends too, never seem to have enough time.

• Oh, come on. Everyone knows no home's decor is complete without a cow skull. ;)

• Good luck with the running! That's something I never enjoyed. I was a devoted swimmer for seven years...practiced before and afterschool and twice a day in the summer...but I used to tell my coach all the time, "If I wanted to run I'd join track or XX!" :p But God bless you!
  Congrats on the wedding!
  Jacob (my son) says I should take the cow skull since I'm part cow. (I've had cow bone attached to my jaws.) Real funny! But, hey, if that'll help you get rid of the thing! :D
  My 13 are up.
