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.

What's Good

Here's what's good right now: 1. Corby's OKAY after an accident at work today! He was on the forklift pulling onto a truck when the truck driver pulled away from the dock apparently to reallign himself (WHAT AN IDIOT DRIVER!!!) and he fell off the dock. Thank goodness there is a roll-bar on those forklifts. He has a headache and will probably be stiff tomorrow, but says he is okay. They sent him for a drug test. It's their policy if someone has an accident at work. 2. Feeling much better. I'm about 75% well now. Still have a cough and some sinus issues, but I think I'll survive. 3. Spending today with Kaleb & Kaitlin. 4. Having such good kids. Leeker's just called Kaitlin to see if she'd work longer hours today. They have a lot of employees out sick. She was supposed to work 4-8, but volunteered to work 2-9. Here's a pat on the back hon! 5. Enjoying some Josh Groban music. 6. Cleaning out my file cabinet and getting ready for 2008. I know, I...
