Heather Echola This is more typical of me. Being really honest, I want my morning to be leisurely before I go anywhere.

I got a call last night from my dad saying he had a friend’s birthday party to go to near Tulsa, and since he was in that area he was going to take my sister out for her birthday (which is tomorrow). Well, I have no desire to go...

Heather Echola @AmbiePam A couple of my coworkers have husbands or family members who are ranchers. There was lots of talk at lunch about bringing babies in to keep warm and the fact that they always seem to have calves in bitter weather. One person talked about the "shed"...

Heather Echola Bob could not remember where he needed to go, so he didn't. My day was okay. I am getting exposed to all kinds of illnesses, so if I stay healthy it will be a miracle.

Heather Echola I am sorry about your nose. There is a really cool Missouri rest stop, I think between Iowa and Missouri. It has a wall covered in glass mosaic of a lot of the cool things about Missouri. I think it is at Eagle's Pass.
