Last Night

We went to the Rockies game and saw great fireworks again this year. The post yesterday had last years photos in them. What a blast a full house and of course the Rockies won and had a sweep on the homestand this time. They beat the Mets 17 to 6 what a game. The Mets scored early on but the Rockies came back hard with a ton of hits and runs.

the game time was 6:05 and we got home about 11:30 pm what a blast. The fireworks were fantastic and great music and fans were let on the field, so here are some shots from Coors Field.

Hh and I were first up in our row, we sat up high but this is also the best vantage for the fireworks.

it was quite warm in the afternoon sun, but the evening progressed and right before the fireworks we actually had a rain shower. I can't say enough about the quality of spending our 4th of july here at the stadium, there was a jet fly by and lots of patriotic songs and good spirits. What a nice time to be together.

musical Meme

1. Go to the Billboard #1 Hits Listings (scroll down and you’ll see them separated by decades on the left in the sidebar).
2. Pick the year you turned 18.
3. Get yourself nostalgic over the songs of the year.
4. Pick 5 songs and write something about how these songs affected you.
5. Pass it on to more friends.

Well I was 18 in 1982 so can I count the year leading up to it as well?? scince that was when I graduated high school and moved on the college these are from 1981

March 7 - March 20: I Love A Rainy Night Eddie Rabbitt

This song reminds me of my friend Sylvia and a friend of hers too, who drove a truck over the road -and was a good looking guy. The line about the windsheild wipers always brings them to mind.

March 21 - March 27: Keep On Loving You - REO Speedwagon

REO - helped me through college. there are very few songs that they have that I don't know so when ever I hear them it brings back great times at Linfeild for me.

August 1 - August 14: Jessie's Girl - Rick Springfield

oh who didn't love Noah Drake on General Hospital. and Rick is back these days making me nostalgic for the simpler life and times. My mom has been a gh fan for as long as I can remember. So this is associated with her for me.

October 17 - November 6: Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do) - Christopher Cross

Chris Cross - where did he go?? he had one or two albums and did some songs that I really liked, so I picked this one cause " sailing " didn't make it on the list!!! maybe i need to go find some of his stuff for my shuffle list.

and from 1982
March 20 - May 7: I Love Rock n' Roll - Joan Jett and the Blackhearts

What can I say this is as good of an anthem today as it was 25 years ago! I loved her kick ass attitude in this song, as well as bad reputation.

Happy birthday America

Thank you American Service men and Women for letting me live in a country that is free.
Where American is Baseball and Apple-pie and Mom.

The Declaration of Independence
On April 12, 1776, the legislature of North Carolina authorized its delegates to the Continental Congress to join with others in a declaration of separation from Great Britain; the first colony to instruct its delegates to take the actual initiative was Virginia on May 15. On June 7, 1776, Richard Henry Lee of Virginia offered a resolution to the Congress to the effect “that these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States. . . .” A committee consisting of Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Robert R. Livingston, and Roger Sherman was organized to “prepare a declaration to the effect of the said first resolution.” The Declaration of Independence was adopted on July 4, 1776. Most delegates signed the Declaration August 2, but George Wythe (Va.) signed August 27; Richard Henry Lee (Va.), Elbridge Gerry (Mass.), and Oliver Wolcott (Conn.) in September; Matthew Thornton (N.H.), not a delegate until September, in November; and Thomas McKean (Del.), although present on July 4, not until 1781 by special permission, having served in the army in the interim.

what kind of diamond

You’re a cushion-cut diamond! You’re sentimental, thoughtful, and attracted to things of lasting value, so it’s no surprise that the vintage-inspired cushion-cut sparkler is the most fitting reflection of your personality. An offshoot of the “old mine” style, the pillow-shaped diamond mirrors your love for old-fashioned ways. Additionally, its antique appeal combined with your throwback charm make this style set in stone.

Yeah- HERE IT IS- The GOOD NEWS

I am now( soon as the back ground check is done-- the 9th of July I hope) an Employee of the State of Colorado Employed by the Personnel and Benefits office!!! @ the University of Colorado- Boulder.

that said you can look up the office here at PBS or you can start on the home pages here at CU **

This is what has been in the works for a while. I have been patiently waiting for this job, I took the exam for " general professional I" back in February and had a 1st interview at the beginning of March. Then was turned down on the initial go round of available jobs because I know French (and do not have a fluent Spanish speaking capabilities) :) . But the Manager in Charge was wonderful and wanted me to know how good I was and how they wanted me!!! so she asked if there were another position, or they could somehow get me on temp to hire would I consider those?? yes yes I said with enthusiasm. So fast forward to the beginning of May- I got a call from the Manager, wanting to know if I was still interested and available?? Yes Yes I said I am!! Well to make an even longer story of it.... they had two people retiring and then an open season and the end to their fiscal year.... well I had another interview this time with the director and another manager ( team Lead) , they called me that day for my Professional references and By Friday I had the Job offer by phone!!!!! So this morning I went in and made the offer official and signed and completed lots of paperwork , I am only a background check away from starting this JOB!!! so there you have it. Thanks for sticking with me this far.


** ( a little about my new employer) The University of Colorado is a three-university system with campuses in Boulder and Colorado Springs, and a Denver and Health Sciences Center campus located in downtown Denver and at the Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora.

Girly smell- well well LOL

Your Scent is Pumpkin Pie

Warm, comforting, and a bit old fashionedYou've got what men want - believe it or not!

What's" Your Girl Smell?

stay tuned- I am hoping for some good news soon

I know I have been hinting around for a while about news I am waiting for on the Job front, My close girlfriends know what is up, but I don't want to jinx it so I will just tell you to keep an eye out here and I will post the news as soon as it comes through.

The job with Measured Progress is coming to an end. We work tomorrow and then we are done for the rest of the summer. - my hope is for the other job to pan out soon too. Math has been fun to score and a different challenge than the writing and reading I have done in the past. It is more concrete and the rubrics are easier to qualify for I think. I don't have much in the way of " formal college level math" basic, and later statistics ( though there is lots of algebra used) , but my practical work experiences have helped me retain my math skills too. So it is interesting, to see how I do.

I am wiped out though as far as the computer goes, cause all the scoring is done on the computer and my eyes and brain are fried tonight so not much more to say here. except stay tuned.

watch out world

new driver's are behind the wheel. but this my friends is our one dollar subaru and so I think it will be just fine. its a little banged up and it leaks oil but life with wheels is sometimes better than without. We went to a nearby church with a large parking lot to practice. It really is fun to teach them to manual shift and learn about all the things you need to do to drive. So off to get a permit too soon.

a meme from Scott- life is grand

Meme from Scott at Life is Grand, BTW I GOT MY MUSIC CD TODAY_ CAN"T WAIT TO PLAY IT IN THE MOM VAN!! It is great I like it all.



God doesn't care - if you are a man or a woman, you are unique and made special, with purpose on this earth. Have faith that he has perfect timing and is already there ! " for I know the plans I have for you" declares the Lord, " plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future" Jeremiah 29:11



I adore chocolate, The good kind, smooth European, sweet, milk, white, dark.



They always say what comes around goes around, do you believe in Karma?



Yeah, it's true my life hasn't been easy, but I am blessed with wonderful children, outstanding husband, great friends and lots of material things.



At one point I wasn't sure I would be in another loving relationship and marriage, but here I am and I can say it is good. Life threw me lemons and I had to make lemonade.



Why should I care about the planet? I think because I will be leaving it to a future generation, and I would like it to continue in peace and whole as we can help it be.



Real men cry once in a while. I am glad my dearest gets that way, and even my son and Step sons are not buying into the myth of macho.



I always return to art as a way to express myself. I enjoy the creative process and take satisfaction in creating scrapbooks, cards and altered art. I enjoy painting and sewing creatively too.



The music I love has great an meaningful lyrics, powerful messages for my soul. Explores emotions and tells of real life and little things that make the world a better place.



I've never really had childhood friends, my friends have come after I settled down, being an Army Brat, we moved and were temporarily at a few places, and I continued that until I married and moved to Denver. now though I have a few girlfriends and I am thankful for them in my life.



Someone told me money doesn't buy happiness- but it damn sure makes the way alot easier. hard to believe I have been out of work since November. It will be nice when I get a salary back again.



I can sit and pretend that my feelings don't get hurt, and I am a jovial happy fat chick. Sometimes that is not the case and I have feelings too.


The funny thing is I didn't really know how my life would turn out. So far it has been a great time, sure there are things I learned along the way but I don't know that I would trade one minute of it. I certainly don't regret any of it.

Flea market and fun day

we left home at 8:00 am the morning off to the mile high flea market a really big place to buy lots of stuff. We had a couple of things in mind to buy and keep an eye out for and the rest it is just fun to buy other peoples cool junk some times.


I bought a puxatony phil 2006 for my self.

He is pretty cute and soft, I feel I got a good price for him.

We bought some hot fresh roasted chillies too, yum-o
there are lots of fresh produce stands and fun things to taste and eat and buy we bought one other item that there is always a bargan deal on and that is socks!!! we love flea market socks and they are such a good deal. 16 pair for 10 dollars - yeah everyone in my house got new socks.

then we went to the chuch for a mini version of VBS a fun day , we sang, ate and had fun making a bead craft and we had a church search- sooooo much fun, we had all ages and it was great. so There you have it a fun day in the sun..... it was extreamly sunny and warm today in Denver too.

me a flower?

I am a Snapdragon What Flower Are You?

"Mischief is your middle name, but your first is friend. You are quite the prankster that loves to make other people laugh."

What happened today?

Colorology , colorstrology and Measured Progress are causing a hit parade on my Blog!

over the last two and a half years my bloging about this topic ( colorology and Colorstrology- see tags for other entries on my blog and links from past posts) has caused hits, but now today I had about 25 hits? what is up with that, most are search engine driven, and I am not sure why there is such and interest in this topic?@! no one leaves me any clue as to why they are so interested in this topic. They certainly do't leave a comment while here.

the other Topic is Measured Progress and that is on a " hit list" search engine from some one in Dover, Mass. ( this is where the parent company is) I hope I post up good PR for them, as this is a job I have enjoyed doing. The hiring is done locally here by Kelly Service Temps. It seems this has been a good sideline for me to pass the time at while still looking for more permanent work. I have been scoring Math for the last couple of days now. I had only done reading before, so the challenge is new and interesting. Seems I haven't totally forgotten geometry and percentages off LOL : ) For the most part I like the people I am with there, it is an interesting mix of newly graduated students,old hippies, trust fund babies, retired and working teachers and principles and administrators with a smattering of nerdy guys thrown in the mix, quite a diverse intelectual community. Most are required to have a college degree so it makes the talk around the tables at lunch at least stimulating.

well thanks for all the visits anyone looking for information on these two hit list topics

this and that

well I am still waiting on "the Job" will post up when it is the real deal. in the mean time, work has included helping a friend and today back to measured progress in Longmont ( kelly temp) I like this job reading tests and sometimes think it would be fun to just do this on a part time basis, but i really miss my cleaning ladies, i haven't had since november.

J and I are working on/in group thearapy we are building a bit of trust, but it is hard work. I bought parenting teens with love and logic, by Foster Cline and Charles Fay. I am about 1/2 way through it great book, hard to make these changes so late in his life. But I keep tring to be positive and hopeful. We have aranged for him to go to a non-traditional school, starting in july the program is self paced and he culd move along and get done if he really wants to apply himself to working at his own sucess, the principle seemed really like a great guy and I have high hopes for a turn around in J's future.

Hh is still enjoying her Karate and going with S to work occasionally, She is off to camp Gramdma later in the summer and I think is looking forward to her time with grandpa as he always entertains her and takes her to lunches out, as well as Grandma doing a little shopping.

SSD1 is working at a CiCi's pizza nearby and seems to enjoy his time learning the pizza trade. It is hard to belive he has one more year and he will be a HS grad.

we have SSD2 everyfew weeks this summer for a week at a time, we had him all last week and had lots of success and comunication, when he is with us he does lots of good stuff.

well I am off to bed since i have to get up and drive myself to longmont in the am. Chiao

the color orange not purple

You Need Some Orange in Your Life

Orange will make you feel open, lively, and artistic.And with a little orange, you will project an aura of friendliness.If you want bolder experiences, you've got to get a little orange in your life! For extra punch: Combine orange with red or yellow The downside of orange: It's too powerful and unusual for some people to deal with The consequences of more orange in your life: You will become more creative in almost every aspect of your lifeYou will find humor in the most serious and dismal situationsYou will feel like life is exciting, even when you're doing ordinary things

What Color Do You Need?

I love these color things, and the colorstrology by pantone, is still my number one search hit on this blog. I find it intriguing and fun to see the colors in life. And here is the pantone universe site also full of color and life.

meez- from Mac daddy by way of Jason

if you've got a little time to kill...head on over to Meez.com'>Meez (hopefully the link works if not just google Meez) and create you one.

Do Jason a favor...if you create one for your blog (or whatever you choose to do with your's) and you fill out your registration (it's all free) put in Jason's username (casperja) so he'll get the credit for it. I think you get something called Coinz when other people sign up. Not totally sure what you do with them although I did see a few articles of clothing and accessories that costs a few "Coinz". So since he turned me onto it, we'll give him the Coinz!

Oh...another tip from Jason...before you download it you need to size your Meez down to "Bodysize 175x233". That makes it fit nicely in your little blog sidebar.

that is the electric slide I am doing , it was fun to make a little person.

school's out for summer

the first official day of summer break- none of that Mom I just don't know what to do just yet.

All kids are here today.

I went and Helped out my friend at the Hopsital again today. I was scheduled for Wed. as well but we will be going to the Rockies at Coors Stadium that night this will be game number three that S and I and Hh are going to attend. We are enjoying the boys of summer this year more than ever.

I have things to do but am tired and may go take a little nap. Just wanted to make a quicky update.

Sand Dunes more shots

this is J in front and D.P. going upstream at the dunes, we have had so much rain and run off there is lots of water there, we went earlier than last year as well.
SSD1, not sure what he is looking at in this photo

The kids all enjoyed a lay down dip in the cold water, temps were mild and the day very sunny.
Here is SSD1 enjoying a lay down dip too.
A quick sand tuype of feeling as J looks like he is having fun.

Today 16 years ago-J came into the world

It was an emegency that day and it has been fun and full of emergency the whole time since that day !! These were taken on the sanddunes in Sand dunes national park. The boys went on this trip on the 19th and 20th of May.

as You can see a risk taker is what this son of mine is. Love him as much now as the first time I saw him.

Happy Birthday J

We bought him a really nice bike, that is what he wanted for his birthday. so he will be looking for a job for the summer and staying busy.

picture post mostly Hh

Field day was fun and sunny- this was a basketball shoot out.

This was a fun activity and the parashute was a fun thing even when I was a kid in school .

Invited to a board breaking at Karate!! she has very good form, She did break one board and now wants to do it again. The next thing is to decide if we are committed to earning a black belt!!

This is our new summer do, not quite as short as special's but still pretty short for this girl, she LOVES it though and it is cut with longish layers that flip UP pretty well with not a whole lot of fussing. and it will be nice for summer.

This is the last choir concert, tomorrow night tonight we have one more thing to do and help with the 6th grade banquet, I made the powerpoint presentation. and we will need to help with the execution of the evening.

wow - may has gotten away from me

I am sorry to say that my days and evenings have been filled to the brim, with commitments to attend or take or just do for everyone else but me.

The boys have been busy and the girls too.... the boys went camping at the sand dunes again last weekend and the girls did fun stuff here. We had my in-laws for the last couple of days so that has been a time taker. The visit was good though and eveyone had a nice time. evenings have been filled with commitments to scouts, school and church, we did fun things like get to two baseball games in the last few weeks as well. I have been working a bit and helping a friend, I committed to help with a power point slide show for the 6th grade banquet and J's 16th birthday is this week.

I will be posting more details and photos very soon, stay tuned.

Karate Success

Look at that pile of belts, it was a great celebration.


Hh just demoed her kick and she's high fiving the instructor. they had so much fun showing parents their skills.

Hh earned her yellow belt on Saturday at Seo National Karate

She has worked hard since Febuary on this goal and Today she earned her first black stripe to orange belt as well.

this is my kind of party

I got my invitation in the mail!!!!!!!!!!! I want to be at this party- my talented friend- sent this and it is spectacular- she missed her calling as a graphic designer and scrap artist.

I think I need to road trip- anyone up for a weekend at the trailer??

as Gretchen Wilson so aptly puts it :

Victoria's Secret Well their stuff's real nice
Oh but I can buy the same damn thing on a Wal*Mart shelf half price
And still look sexy
Just as sexy As those models on TV
No I don't need no designer tag to make my man want me
You might think I'm trashy
A little too hard core
But get in my neck of the woods I'm just the girl next door

Hey I'm redneck woman
And I ain't no high class broad
I'm just a product of my raisin'
And I say "hey y'all" and "Yee Haw"
And I keep my Christmas lights on, on my front porch all year long
And I know all the words to every Tanya Tucker song
So here's to all my sisters out there keeping it country
Let me get a big "Hell Yeah" from the redneck girls like me
Hell Yeah
Hell Yeah

the odd job

I have been doing this and that and an occassional consult. Here is a Web site for a friend I have been working on, she owns a scrub stop and more. I have been helping her with a contract for a large hospital she got too, so this has been a good diversion.

I scored some tests for Measured Progress in Longmont too. I am scheduled to do some more of this, but I think I have a JOB !!!! I will tell you more as it firms up for sure. I am happy about it and will tell you the details later.

it is neither of the two afore mentioned temp jobs. Just keep all the good vibes and prayers coming my way. I am ready for a new place to be.

boosting productivity

Found this on Katie the scrapbook lady's site who got it from Crafty-Girl's blog and I just decided to copy it outright. Very inspiring and good stuff to review and remember. I need to brush up on some of these skills!

33 rules to boost your productivity:

1. Super Slow. Commit yourself to working on a particularly hideous project for just one session a week, 15-30 minutes total. Declutter one small shelf. Purge 10 clothing items you don’t need. Write a few paragraphs. Then stop.
2. Dailies. Schedule a specific time each day for working on a particular task or habit. One hour a day could leave you with a finished book, or a profitable internet business a year later.
   
3. Add-ons. Tack a task you want to habitualize onto one of your existing habits. Water the plants after you eat lunch. Send thank-you notes after you check email.
   
4. Plug-ins. Inject one task into the middle of another. Read while eating lunch. Return phone calls while commuting. Listen to podcasts while grocery shopping.
   
5. Gratitude. When someone does you a good turn, send a thank-you card. That’s a real card, not an e-card. This is rare and memorable, and the people you thank will be eager to bring you more opportunities.
   
6. Training. Train up your skill in various productivity habits. Get your typing speed to at least 60wpm, if not 90. Learn to speed-read or PhotoRead. Develop your communication skills.
   
7. Software. Take advantage of productivity software to boost your effectiveness. Lifehacker recommends new items every week.
   
8. Zone out. Enter the zone of peak creativity, and watch your output soar.
   
9. Denial. Just say no to non-critical requests for your time.
   
10. Recapture. Reclaim other people’s poor time usage for yourself. Visualize your goals during dull speeches. Write out your grocery list during pointless meetings.
    
11. Mastermind. Run your problem past someone else, preferably a group of people. Invite all the advice, feedback, and constructive criticism you can handle.
    
12. Twenty. Take a piece of paper, number 1-20, and don’t stop until you’ve listed 20 creative ideas for improving your productivity.
    
13. Challenger. Deliberately make the task harder. Challenging tasks are more engaging than boring ones. Compose an original poem for your next blog post.
    
14. Asylum. Complete an otherwise tedious task in an unusual or crazy manner to keep it interesting. Make phone calls using pretend foreign accents. Fill out government paperwork in crayon.
    
15. Music. Experiment to discover how music may boost your productivity. Try fast-paced music for email, classical or new age for project work, and total silence for high-concentration creative work.
    
16. Scotty. Estimate how long a task will take to complete. Then start a timer, and push yourself to complete it in half that time.
    
17. Pay it forward. When an undesirable task is delegated to you, re-delegate it to someone else.
    
18. Bouncer. When a seemingly pointless task is delegated to you, bounce it back to the person who assigned it to you, and challenge them to justify its operational necessity.
    
19. Opt-out. Quit clubs, projects, and subscriptions that consume more of your time than they’re worth.
    
20. Decaffeinate. Say no to drugs, suffer through the withdrawal period, and let your natural creative self re-emerge.
    
21. Triage. Save the lives of your important projects by killing those that are going to die anyway.
    
22. Conscious procrastination. Delay non-critical tasks as long as you possibly can. Many of them will die on you and won’t need to be done at all.
    
23. TV-free. Turn off the TV especially the news, and recapture many usable hours.
    
24. Timer. Time all your tasks for an entire day, preferably a week. Even the act of measuring itself can boost your productivity, not to mention what you learn about your real time usage.
    
25. Valor. Pick the one item on your task list that scares you the most. Muster all the courage you can, and tackle it immediately.
    
26. Nonconformist. Run errands at unpopular times to avoid crowds. Shop just before stores close or shortly after they open. Take advantage of 24-hour outlets if you’re a vampire.
    
27. Agoraphobia. Shop online whenever possible. Get the best selection, consult reviews, and purchase items within minutes.
    
28. Reminder. Add birthday and holiday reminders to your calendar a month or two ahead of their actual dates. Buy gifts then instead of at the last minute.
    
29. Do it now! Recite this phrase over and over until you’re so sick of it that you cave in and get to work.
    
30. Inspiration. Read inspiring books and articles, listen to audio programs, and attend seminars to keep absorbing inspiring new ideas (as well as to refresh yourself on the old ones).
    
31. Gym rat. Exercise daily. Boost your metabolism, concentration, and mental clarity in 30 minutes a day.
    
32. Lovey dovey. Romantic love will spur you on to greater heights, if for no other reason than to persuade your partner you aren’t such a loser after all.
    
33. Troll hunt. Banish the negative trolls from your life, and associate only with positive, happy, and successful people. Mindsets are contagious. Show loyalty to your potential, not to your pity posse.

extreme kingdom games, from quest weekend

Every time I look at this video it cracks me up, I am the one laughing in the video too..... the intent of the game was a variation on steal the flag. 2 teams with a dragon head and tail. then the goal is to get the tail off the other dragon. Funny to watch.


EXTREME GAMES AT QUEST2K7

percussion princess plays Boettcher concert hall

boetcher concert may 1st


Here are stats on this location Boettcher Concert Hall Denver Colorado

This is HH in her grand 1!st public performance!!

Boettcher Concert Hall
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Boettcher Concert Hall, located in Denver, Colorado, was the first symphony hall in the round in the United States. Built in 1978, the hall is part of the Denver Performing Arts Complex, the second largest performing arts complex in the United States next to Lincoln Center in New York.
Boettcher originally opened to mixed reviews. Due to its size in relation to the size of the community it serves, its 2,634 seats are often not completely filled. Tuned acoustically with a full house in mind, Boettcher originally suffered from hot and cold spots when the theater was only partially filled.
In 1993, the theater underwent a major acoustical renovation. The height of the seat backs was adjusted, additional acoustic reflectors were added, and acoustic curtains were installed which that allow the theater to be tuned for specific performances--even during a performance.
Boettcher is home to the Colorado Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Jeffrey Kahane. It was formerly conducted by Marin Alsop

creativity

You Are 78% Creative

You are beyond creative. You are a true artist - even if it's not in the conventional sense of the word. You love creating for its own sake, and you find yourself quite inspired at times.

How Creative Are You?

more photos from the weekend

As a part of the weekend program, there is a special power point presentation type thing, made of images made from LEGO r themed toy bricks. The gospel according to " Brick" what a wonderful and creative way to get the message to kids from 6-12th grade- fun and made accessable. Our Diosesian youth formation pastor -Neil Reilly- is the creative force behind this and what a talent for legos he has.
Here you can see the " recreation- option" that was available in free time. A really nice Warm pool and very neat water slide too. There were lots of other fun and games to be had too. LIke foosball and pool tables. What a nice place to have this kind of activity .

And this Shot is the mountain with its native inhabitants ( mountain goats) and the really fabulous blue colorado sky- this was a neat thing to see, the contrast of their coats against the sky and the hill made them really stand out. We saw elk and big horn sheep on our way to the ranch too on the road colorado - 287
Another shot of the " screamer" and the platform down below. I climbed down on the far side of the hill under a rope course and some other steep stairs to get the best vantage point to " see the Kids" again look at the light and beautiful day we had for all these fun activities in the mountains.
The veiw from " Sunset point" not at sunset, but I heard it is spectacular then with the red and orange light bathing the mountain range. Still I think it is all good.
