New Radiator Needed

Enjoyed our day in Manhattan yesterday, but the upshot of Brandon's car trouble is that he needs a new radiator and fan. It's a good thing we drove both the van and Suburban up, as we left the Suburban for him to drive for a few days. The parts stores in Manhattan could order us a radiator, but not until Tuesday. Corby called parts stores here today and found one, so we bought it and the fan. We will be going back up to Manhattan on Wed. to fix the car. Brandon went to his orientation at Dillons while we were messing with his car. After he was done, we went to Target and bought him some work pants - he also bought some new shoes. We went back to his dorm room and hung out for a while, and then we took him to dinner at Chili's before heading home. He seems to be doing really well, has his plan for doing homework, and isn't playing too many video games - at least not until evenings after he has all his schoolwork done. His hours will vary at Dillons, and it looks like they will use him some in the dairy since he has experience. He's excited that he works 6am-11am this coming Saturday, as he had already bought tickets to see Three Days Grace at the fair in Hutchinson. He and Kaitlin are going to the concert. Corby and I will go with them and hang out at the fair while they go to the show. Hopefully his Sunday work schedule will be a bit later in the day or he'll be lucky enough to have the day off. We'll see. I don't want him to have to drive back to Manhattan after the concert!

Kaleb and Kaitlin are both working 7-4 today - the nice thing is that they get paid time and a half since it's a holiday. Corby is going to fix tacos/taco salad for dinner! Otherwise, we're just doing our normal "Sunday" routine (since we were gone yesterday) of laundry, paying bills, cleaning, etc. You know, the fun stuff!

Today's music - Grand Funk Railroad! Some more old 70's music!

And the quote for today - fitting since Corby will be fixing Brandon's car (and probably saving him about $300): "A father is someone you look up to no matter how tall you are." -- Unknown

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!
