Last Day of Vacation

Why do vacation days just FLY by? Work days sure don't go by that fast! LOL!

I've got to show you this picture of our "less than intelligent" cat. Her name is Muffin, and she's 1 year old. I had been cleaning one of my Longaberger protectors, and had it sitting on the floor. I heard noise behind me, and this is what I saw when I turned around...This is the same cat who drinks water with her paw, sits in the bathroom sink waiting for you to turn the water on, and attacks Callie (our 12 year old cat) whenever she can. Kaitlin calls her "demon kitty". That might be a bit harsh, but it's pretty darn close to her behavior!

Brandon had his first college calculus test last night, and he said it was "easier than I thought it would be." We had planned on going up to Manhattan this Saturday for "Family Day", but he has to work 2-11pm, so we're not going.

I took Kaitlin to look at a couple of cars for sale after she got home from school (Kaleb had to work tonight). She is looking for something $2000 or less. We saw a 97 Ford Thunderbird in the paper for $1995, and after a "reverse lookup" on YellowPages.com, we found out it was at a car lot on South Seneca. They also had a 92 Nissan Maxima that we wanted to look at. Well, the Maxima was gone and the Thunderbird was a piece of CRAP! They were quick to get us the keys to look at it, but the interior was trashed, and it wouldn't even start! They only had one other car in her price range, and it was in pretty sorry shape too. It had a big dent on the side, and didn't have any side mirrors. I realize $2000 isn't much for a car, but you kind of expect it to start, and also to have the basics! Guess we'll keep searching...

I did one more scrapbook page today:

I love this picture so much that I couldn't trim it, so I made it the focus of the page.
Today's music: Monster Ballads from the 70's & 80's: songs like SOMEONE TO BELIEVE IN by Poison; IS THIS LOVE by Whitesnake and WIND OF CHANGE by the Scorpions. Some good songs on this CD...

Finished the BTK book. I was surprised that there was quite a bit in there that was new information to me. Not sure what book I will start tonight. I have a few in mind.

And our quote for the day: "Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower." -- Albert Camus. Fitting quote since Fall is just around the corner.

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!
