What Color Crayon are you

You Are a Green Crayon

Your world is colored in harmonious, peaceful, natural colors. While some may associate green with money, you are one of the least materialistic people around. Comfort is important to you. You like to feel as relaxed as possible - and you try to make others feel at ease. You're very happy with who you are, and it certainly shows! Your color wheel opposite is red. Every time you feel grounded, a red person does their best to shake you.

Bathroom remodel

At the beginning of the year I decided I was going to decorate our main bathroom in lighthouses. The bathroom had wallpaper on all the walls so I removed it and painted the bathroom. Then we got lighthouses to decorate the bathroom with. Here are pictures of the finished product.

New Job at work

It has been a long time since I have added to my blog. Anyway, in June I got a new position at work. I now run the Tisma full time. I really enjoy this new challenge. The Tisma is the machine that places the finished product inside the pictorial. Not only am I in charge of running the machines, but our plant is implementing a new program called TPM, and TPM is split up into I think 6 or 7 different pillars and each pillar has a team, and I am on the AM Team under the AM Pillar. The AM Pillar and Team are responsible for doing a deap clean on the machinery to find problems on the machine, and then to fix these problems. The goal is to cut down on the amount of down time we have due to the machines. Anyway, we have rolled this out on both the Caser and the Tismas on line 1. I have seen a dramatic change in the amount of down time I have on the Tismas due to the AM Process. About three weeks ago both the Caser and Tisma Teams passed the Step 1 Audit. There are 6 more Audits to go.

My Worst Fear

Earlier today I was reading an e-mail my sister Jen sent me. It was about how the legislature in CA had voted to make May 22 "Gay day" in CA schools. They will do activities and teach children about the gay life style.
I began to think about this. I think it is kind of funny how priorities change when you get married. Before I was married my worst fear was where I was going to get the money to make my next payment, or buy groceries, and stuff like that. But now I begin to wonder and worry about what my children are going to have to deal with.
I see sometime in our future the world we live in is going to be so bad that we will not want to send our children to school, but will want to teach them at home. This is my greatest fear. That I will not have the knowledge I need to be able to teach them what they need to know to be productive in society. I hope that I do, and know that if it comes down to that I will be equal to the task, but it still scares me.

what Princess Am I

You Are Cinderella!

Dignified and hard working. With a gentle and soft-spoken manner you have something many people don't. Patience. Even through the moments of heartbreak you're still able to hold onto all of your hopes and dreams. Bide your time; your dream will come true.
