Mid-Week

Well, the refrigerator IS on the blitz! We have a repairman coming tomorrow. I hope it doesn't cost an arm and a leg! Fortunately the washer was an easy fix - but don't ask me what it was! Corby had our neighbor, fix-it-man, Paul, come over and look at it and they fixed it at no cost! It's been a very busy week at work. News has been outdoing themselves with coverage of the tornado in Greensburg and the flooding throughout Kansas. And of course we had to have even more space in tomorrow's paper due to President Bush's visit in Greensburg today. Hopefully things will soon get back to normal. I'll be busy the next few days trying to get ahead since I'll be on vacation next week. I am reading "The Fifth Vial" by Michael Palmer. I've read all of his books, and this one is pretty darn good so far. I'm about halfway through. I love to read, and in reading my niece's blog tonight, I realize that I tend to read fluff. She and her husband read "deeper" books than I do, but I do LOVE TO READ! Unfortunately I haven't totally instilled that in my kids - they all like to read to some degree, but are not book hogs like me! I think one of my favorite authors recently is Jodi Picoult. I read "My Sister's Keeper" about 6 months ago, and since then I've read about 3 or 4 of her earlier books, as well as her newest one "Nineteen Minutes". I recommend her as an author. I went to the Heights Senior Honors Assembly yesterday morning. I had not planned on going because Brandon said he wasn't getting any awards. When he came home from work Monday night he said they told him he would be getting an award(s) - they keep them secret! I was really glad I went as he received 4 awards - the biggest one being a Silver Presidential Award for carrying a 3.50-3.99 GPA throughout his 4 years of school! We are so proud of him! Love you son!

I read "Nineteen Minutes" last year (got an advanced copy at the book fair) and really enjoyed it. We don't always read "deep" books. I like to read some "fluff" as well: a thriller here, a bit of chick lit there. But I definately LOVE to read too :)

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!
