Enchanted Weekend?


Kaitlin and I went to see the movie ENCHANTED last night. What an enjoyable movie! Disney did a masterful job of meshing together a fairy tale cartoon with real life. And of course, Patrick Dempsey is HOT! I think the big ending was a bit overdone, but overall, it was a fun movie!

Corby made another trip to Chandler on Wednesday. Kaitlin ended up going with him. She is caught up @ school and such a good student that I didn't think it would hurt for her to miss a day. They got the house cleared out and all the utilities shut off. Corby will have to go back down one more time for court - to have a judge name him executor of Charles' estate - which is basically the insurance policy. That probably won't happen until January.

We did all of our Saturday errand running and got home by about 2. Since it's so yucky outside, we are getting some inside chores done this weekend - plus my normal 10-15 loads of laundry!

Bought a new CD today - Michael W. Smith's newest Christmas CD. He is one of my favorite Christian artists. Very talented, very CUTE, very married (oh yeah, so am I!)...The CD is Wonderful, wonderful!

Sugar, our outdoor cat, stays in the garage at night during the winter. She's been wanting in the house all day, so Corby brought her in a while ago. She can't stay inside though, so we've made a pallet with an old comforter for her up off the cement floor. Cinnamon has been in and out all day - she loves the cold weather, but doesn't like the mist/ice/sleet. She may end up sleeping in our bedroom tonight!

I got more shopping done yesterday at lunch. Just have a few more things to pick up and then I'm done. I prefer doing my shopping online, and have bought a few things that way this year, but most of the things the kids want have been on sale over the last few weeks. And you know me, I love a good sale!

Brandon is getting ready for his first college finals. He has 2 on Monday, 2 on Tuesday, and his last one is Wednesday at 7pm. He'll head home Thursday morning, and be home for a month. YIPPEE!

Corby found out (through the Eagle's own Carrie Rengers story in Thursday's Biz Today section) that Foley has signed a contract to purchase the old Optima Bus building at 77th N. & Hydraulic. Unfortunately, they are not moving the warehouse out here - he'll still be at the Harry & West location. Bummer - thought we might save some money on gas!

My quote for today is really a short verse:
They Who Are Wild Wacky Women
They are women of substance...
Women of their own making
With the perfect blend of
candor and common sense,
They understand the value of
friendship, love and laughter.
They are smart, empowered and enlightened
with the wisdom and legacy of the women
who have come before them,
With a spirit that soars free,
They rejoice in this great sisterhood
called WOMEN.

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!
