In the beginning we are created by God, next, our parents shape us, and then we create ourselves. We create ourselves against the framework of our environment. We also create ourselves against the knowledge gained from our experiences. We chose what to take from those experiences to work on to develop our personalities. Then we interact with others using that personality. That personality helps us decide where we go and whom we associate with which then influences our choices. Therefore, those experiences make not only who we are but contribute to the situations we find ourselves in. Those situations determine our quality of life. How we react to those experiences, choices, and reactions defines whom and what we are; therefore, we choose who and what we become by every decision we make. Together We Can The Enigma

Hot bikes, Hot biker chicks!!!! Who needs sunshine!!!! Check out the new Baker Bike Rally photos in my photo album. It was a rainy weekend but the Hells Canyon Motorcycle rally was a blast. I also made Pinnacle which is the honor society for non-traditional students at EOU. The pinning was today but it was way too early in the morning. They will send my pin and certificate by mail. I did go to my BMCC graduation tea though. It seemed weird because I actually got my diplomoa in March 2008 but that makes me a 2008-2009 graduate so off to tea I went. It was fun and I got to see Mrs E. and Mr. Randy so....last graduation celebration until I walk for EOU next year. Busy, busy but overall another great day in Eastern Oregon with a wonderful husband. Can't ask for anything more. It can be hard living with a university student sooo..... He deserved to get his picture taken with hot biker chicks in bikinis and leather chaps!!!! Eat your heart out AL!!!!! LOL. ...448 days ago
Do you remember Lee Iacocca??? This is a wonderful piece of writing and thinking. Remember Lee Iacocca, the man who rescued Chrysler Corporation from it's death throes? He has a new book, and here are some excerpts. Lee Iacocca Says: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 'Am I the only guy in this country who's fed up with what's happening? Where the hell is our outrage? We should be screaming bloody murder. We've got a gang of clueless bozos steering our ship of state right over a cliff, we've got corporate gangsters stealing us blind, and we can't even clean up after a hurricane much less build a hybrid car . But, instead of getting mad, everyone sits around and nods their heads when the politicians say, " Stay the course ". Stay the course? You've got to be kidding. This is America , not the damned 'Titanic'. I'll give you a sound bite: 'Throw all the bums out!' You might think I'm getting senile, that I've gone ...

Just thankful for another beautiful day in Oregon. PET scan came back clean, so it is official I am cancer free. Now, it is not just a 50/50 chance of beating it, I have a 60 percent chance of a permanent cure. Sorry, I have not been on. The day I went to get my PET scan taken the lady who drives me and I got road raged by some jerk and I had to go to ER. Can't hardly type but I am SO HAPPY I just had to tell somebody. I might have some health limitations both from before the cancer with the MS, Osteoarthritis, and Degenerative disk and some treatment side effects but I am going to be back to the way I was before they gave me that nasty terminal word. And now I know just how strong I am!!!! Watch out world, cause here I come! Change is afoot, can't you smell it in the air. Let's fly! I'll find a way to keep up, even with my cane!!!! Together We Can! Tami

My Aunt just sent me the cutest song lyrics to a song called "Down on the Farm" by a couple called Lewis and Lewis and I just laughed (it's on You Tube). That made me feel a little guilty. It also kind of made me miss the South a little. Those of you who have never lived there will just have to take my word for it. There is nothing quite like walking down the streets of a tiny Arkansas town with all of your biases in place laughing at the (fill in the ethnic or person who is different) along with everybody else knowing that you fit right in. It made me ponder what I have been learning about diversification and if it was worth blogging about. I have spent the last few years going and getting myself diversified and I think I have just started to learn a few things. I know I ain't supposed to run around saying the words n*****r and q***r. I don't suppose I wouldv'e anyway, it just ain't polite and I have always know your color or sexual preference was not the be all and ...
