Weekend Fun

Had a great time at the fair yesterday! Brandon came down for the weekend, along with his roommate Brady. Kaitlin and Kaleb both took off work, and we all went to the fair. (Corby stayed home since we're going to the fair again this Thursday). Brandon and Kaitlin went to the concert - 3 Days Grace and Seether; while Kaleb, Brady and I wandered the fair watching people, rabbits, chickens, the petting zoo, etc. When the concert was over the kids rode a few rides - though it's way too expensive at $3-$5 per person per ride! I bought a family pack of 22 tickets for $20 and that was it for the rides!

Here are Kaleb & Kaitlin on the Tilt-A-Whirl:Here's a cute little bunny rabbit:
Here's a cute kangaroo from the petting zoo:

We also celebrated birthday's today at my older sister's apartment. We celebrated my nephew Nick's 31st birthday
and my sister Marilyn's 40-something birthday
Brandon was able to enjoy the birthday celebrations with us before he headed back to K-State this evening. DRIVE SAFELY SON! Kaleb and Kaitlin both had to work all day today, so they missed out on the celebration, including pizza and DQ ice cream cake!

We got the yard mowed this afternoon, enjoying the cooler weather. Corby says there is a cool front on the way. I hope so, as I am ready for fall!

It's almost time for the beginning of another work week. On Tuesday I will be helping out with our annual "Taking It to the Streets" campaign. We "hawk" newspapers at busy intersections around town raising money for United Way. I will be at 21st & Amidon, so come on by between 6:30 and 10 am on Tuesday. Yes, that means I have to get up REALLY early, and I am NOT an early bird! I have a feeling I'll crash mid-afternoon, so I plan on heading home around 3pm.

Current book: Power Play by Joseph Finder. I've read several of his books, and I really enjoy them.

Current music: Skillet - a Christian rock band. Brandon turned me on to them...

And the quote for today is: "Children are living jewels dropped unstained from heaven." -- 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!
