Crossword Puzzles

Does anybody else do crossword puzzles? I don't know if I've ever completed one yet. This morning I was only missing about 7 letters, but they always throw in one word that's from some other language or some actor from the 1920's or something.

I've been doing them almost every day since I saw the documentary called wordplay on Independent Lens on PBS. I guess Jon Stewart and Bill Clinton, along with a lot of other people do the crossword every day. I wouldn't be surprised if the current president does crossword puzzles too. They'd be easier for him though because he can just make up his own words.

Lately...

Life has been good. Rob finally has regular shifts at his new job, and I can sense that he is a lot happier. My job has been going quite well also. I only have 3-4 kids this weekend because of Thanksgiving, which isn't bad.

A couple weekends ago, Mic was traveling through Chicago. I took him downtown and we went shopping for a new jacket. We met up with Katy later and had a few beers. It was a blast. Thanks guys!

This last weekend, I went to visit Ginelle in Lafayette. I love Chicago, but it was great to have a new scene for once. Her apartment is beautiful, and I had a great weekend. Sunday we had a Thanksgiving meal at church. Our church is so loving and warm. We had some good conversations with some amazing people.

I love holidays, and I can't wait to celebrate them. Even though Rob is staying in Chicago because of his new job, I am really looking forward to seeing my family. It has been a long time since I have been with them, and being a person who has never really lived away from Sioux Center, I can tell. At home, I get to see our new nephew and meet up with some friends that I haven't talked to in years.

Lately, I have been feeling older, thinking about things that I have never thought about before. But it is good. Yeah, life has been good.
