Bittersweet Day

Today is bittersweet. We closed on mom's house. It was nice to get the house sold and get mom out from under the electric, gas and water bills; but it was a bit sad knowing we wouldn't be celebrating any more holidays or birthdays there. Because we got such short notice on the closing (we found out Tues. afternoon); we don't have everything out of the house. We will be going out this weekend to finish getting the junk out. My brother, Terry, will be hauling it to the dump in Benton, where he lives. He can take things to the dump for free. There is an old stereo in a long wooden unit - has to be around 35 years old, as I remember it from high school (yes it's been that long)!!! Needless to say no one wanted to buy it at the estate sale, so we're hauling it to the dump. There is more trash/junk in the garage. Terry is hoping we can get it in one load. After that we will leave the key on the kitchen counter and tell the house goodbye - and thanks for the memories!

My current book: Perfect Match by Jodi Picoult. I'm about halfway through, and it's another good read.

Isn't This Gross?

Corby lets Muffin drink out of his milk glass. Isn't that disgusting? I love animals, but I sure don't share my drinks with them. YUCK! Brandon will be home tomorrow - on his 19th birthday! His last final is at 12:30. Corby & Kaleb are headed up to help him bring his stuff home. I was planning on going, but because Hope is out on medical leave, I can't take off. That's okay - I really wasn't looking forward to carrying his stuff down 7 flights of stairs! YIPPEE - MY BABY IS COMING HOME FOR THE SUMMER! Does anyone else out there love "House Hunters" - the show on HGTV? For some reason, that show grabs me. I like to see the 3 houses the couples (sometimes singles) choose from. Of course, most of them have a lot more money than we do! Saw one last night that was a young couple in Chicago - lived in the inner city, but with 2 kids decided to move to the suburbs. Their goal was to find a house for under $1,000,000. That a million dollars folks! How can peop...

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!
