Picasa



Ok, I think I have Picasa figured out, so I will be sharing pictures of my kids (who, unfortunately are no longer as young as I would like). Tabitha, my oldest, is 22 and in college at the Columbia Campus of Moberly Area Community College. These pictures were taken while we were out in Colorado several years ago while we were out there for a family reunion.


Kena, my younger daughter, looks more like my younger sister Corinne and currently lives in Joplin, MO. She does some modeling and also does tele-marketing to pay the bills. In this picture, she was around 14 and already beautiful. That was the last year that she lived with me, because she is my wild child. We are friends now, but we didn't always get along, which is frequently true with parents and teens.

I thought I knew lots about armadillo, but then I started looking for pictures for this blog and discovered that I know lots of trivia about the nine-banded armadillo, which is so prevelant in North America. Did you know that there are twenty breeds of armadillos? I will be blogging about them further as this continues, along with trying to accomplish my assignments for NetTrek.

Finally... a picture!

Ok, I haven't done all of the work for this week, but I did get a picture up for my profile that was taken on Halloween a few years ago. I will try to pull some pictures off the 'net later and include them in my next blog.

Seven and 1/2 Habits

Ok, I watched the slideshow and here is what I got from it... my greatest weakness is that I am no longer confident of my ability to learn some of the new technologies and ideas that are out there. When I was younger, I thought I could learn anything, if I just worked at it, but as I age I find it harder to pick up on new ideas.

The good news is that I am comfortable with the technology that I need to use for my job. I also have always viewed problems as challenges or learning experiences. I have been told in the past that I make an excellent mentor because I remember when I was learning and I'm willing to listen.
