What’s in your head?

I Found Me – Crystal Fugate – cgailfugate@yahoo.com http://crystalfugate.blogspot.com/ I have never been that great at math.  I suppose I just didn’t “get” it.  Fortunately, my dad, who couldn’t read, was a math wiz.  My fondest educational memory was my 5th grade year when he sat down and drilled me on my multiplication.   He drew [...]

When I was growing up, I couldn’t wait for Christmas.  Each year seemed longer than the previous one as I looked forward to what Santa left behind under the tree.  The majority of the time I didn’t [...]

I Found Me

Crystal Fugate cgailfugate@yahoo.com http://crystalfugate.blogspot.com/ Spinning Out of Control There they lay, taunting almost giggling at me, were my keys, shinning from the evening sun, in the locked Durango.  What was even more painful yet almost humorous were the backup keys were also locked in there.  Out of control? Uh….just a little!  What I did have [...]

Experiencing the Honey Festival from the Other Side…. I Found Me – Crystal Fugate cgailfugate@yahoo.com    http://crystalfugate.blogspot.com/ I sat at my table watching the people drift by.  They barely glanced my way.  There were so many wonderful things to look at so why would they take a second look at me.  Those old feelings of shame, [...]

Congrats to the Class of 2010!

cgailfugate@yahoo.com http://crystalfugate.blogspot.com/ It’s that time again–Graduation. It’s been a long while since I have been to a graduation – 2005 was the last time I believe.

Have You Been Robbed?

Being Robbed Have You Been Robbed? cgailfugate@yahoo.com http://crystalfugate.blogspot.com/ I recently bought a circular fan as a donation to the gym room at my apartments.  It’s pretty neat that my apartment complex has this small room with a treadmill, exercise bike, and a weight machine. Hey, it’s not a 24-Hour Fitness or anything but the convenience [...]

Drunk on Election Day

cgailfugate@yahoo.com http://crystalfugate.blogspot.com/ When I was growing up, election time seemed to be an eventful time in my family.  On occasions I was able to visit the polls as my parents voted.  Since my dad couldn’t read, it was not uncommon for voting volunteers to assist him in the voting booth.  It also was not uncommon [...]

I’m happy to announce that my uncle recently received a liver transplant at the wonderful St. Luke’s in the Houston Medical Center.  He had been on the waiting list for about 7 months so when the call came, we were surprised and thankful. He had [...]

Is It Really Worth It?

Is it worth the trouble? A few years ago, our department received a new Lexmark copier complete with all the neat amenities like hole punching, duplexing, stapling, scanning, and faxing plus the standard features that only a copier guru would mess with like layouts, page numbers, watermarks, blah, blah, blah.  Of course, we were all [...]
