Windy Saturday

This is a picture of my mom and my daughter, Kaitlin, at my niece's wedding last May. My husband, Corby, Kaitlin, and her twin brother, Kaleb, are in Mt. Sequoyah, Arkansas this weekend on a mission trip for church. I miss them! They will be home tomorrow, and from the phone calls and text messages I've received, they are having a wonderful time! I took my mom to the store today. She was in a good mood, though grocery shopping wore her out. I've been busy taking care of all the animals - one of the chores I usually don't have to do. Between 2 indoor cats (one of them a WILD kitten!), one outdoor cat, and one outdoor dog, it's quite a chore! It's been EXTREMELY windy today (pretty much typical for spring in Kansas), and there are storms on the way tonight, so Cinnamon, our chow/husky, will probably end up sleeping with me. She's a big scaredy "dog" when it comes to thunder and lightning!

I am praying this evening for the family of the Blue Angels pilot who lost his life today performing in South Carolina. The Blue Angels are amazing, and even though they perform dangerous maneuvers, this is a tragic occurrence.

My quote for the day (can you tell I collect quotes?):
"There is a quality to being alone that is incredibly precious. Life rushes back into the void, richer, more vivid, fuller than before." -- Anne Morrow Lindbergh

VACATION

On vacation for a few days (return to work on Thursday)...here's where I wish I was... I plan on enjoying some peace and quiet...and possibly, if I get motivated, getting some cleaning and organizing done in the office area of the basement. We'll see if that motivation arrives (it's not here yet)... Good news for Park City residents...recycling came to town the first of January. We are charged $4.00 month (added onto our already high water bill); but it has lowered the price of our trash pickup. The company P.C. contracted with has a much lower price than the company we use. Our company matched the price, so our trash bills went down (considerably) AND we get to recycle. We can recycle almost all our plastics, newspapers, cardboard, aluminum cans, cereal boxes, glass, motor oil, etc. We've got two big bags to set out tomorrow. Just doin' our part for the environment. We are without hot water right now...our hot water heater needs a new thermo-couple? It's a fair

Terrible Day

I'm not going to go into a lot of detail here, but suffice it to say that I had a TERRIBLE day at work! I made a huge mistake costing the company some revenue, and I feel awful! I certainly didn't need anyone to get on my butt, because I was kicking myself for the better part of the day. I know, I know, I'm human, but this was a BIG human mistake! I hate to admit that I'm human! HATE TO MAKE MISTAKES - ESPECIALLY BIG ONES! Okay, that's it. I'm having a margarita and trying to relax now. I'm done with being human for a while!
