I-POD Mania!

I've been putting more CD's on my I-POD. It's amazing how many songs one of those things can hold. I've got tons of CD's on there, and it's not even half full! I wonder if other people have as much variety as I have - I've got everything from Donny Osmond, Barry Manilow and the Monkees, to Five for Fighting, the Beach Boys, the Eagles, Rascal Flatts, Daughtry, Michael W. Smith, etc. - Contemporary Christian, 70's Rock, Motown, Pop, Country...I don't have any Latin, Rap (YUCK!!!!) or today's R&B. Right now I've got it on "shuffle" and I'm listening to Leavin' On A Jet Plane by Peter, Paul & Mary!

I just talked to Brandon. He's been busy applying for jobs, but so far, no luck. He's got his first semester paid for, but really needs to work to save some money for second semester. He's had to buy some things needed for his classes, and that cost about $50! College is a never-ending money drain - hey - sounds like real life! Brandon said he planned on coming home next weekend if he doesn't have a job yet. They'll come home Fri. afternoon so they can go to the Heights/Bishop Carroll football game Fri. night.

We went to see the latest Die Hard movie yesterday - Live Free and Die Hard (I think that's the name) with our friends, Paul & Tokeah (from across the street). We went to the Palace, so it was cheap ($2.50/ea.)...really enjoyed the movie. Lots of wild stunts, as usual. Bruce Willis still looks good after all these years!

The twins have both worked long days this weekend. That's where they seem to get most of their hours. Kaitlin is working 9 hours today, Kaleb is working 8. They'll be home for lunch mid-afternoon, so Corby is planning our dinner for then: grilled pork chops, pasta & salad! Yum!

Today's quote - fitting for Brandon's new college experiences and Kaleb & Kaitlin's new school year: "Learning is a treasure that will follow its owner everywhere." -- Chinese proverb

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!
