T.G.I.F.

I know, I know - I only had to work 2 days this week; but man, they were killers! You know how sometimes it doesn't pay to take a few days off? This was one of those times. From the minute I walked in the door yesterday at 8:15am and left at 6:15pm - I didn't stop. I ate lunch at my desk, which was about the only 10 minutes I was at my desk. Between a 90 minute management training session in the morning, and making plates all afternoon, IT DID NOT STOP. I was still making plates at 6pm! UGH! HAVE I SAID BEFORE HOW MUCH I HATE MAKING PLATES? Today was really busy too, but I did manage to get away for lunch with a friend.

Kaleb has a friend spending the night tonight. His name is Sen-Xiang. He is a foreign exchange student from Germany - yes Germany! His family moved to Germany shortly after he was born. He speaks wonderful English and seems like a very nice young man.

Corby is making chocolate chip cookies tonight. Truly - he doesn't always bake like this. He is actually making these for a reception after a funeral we will be attending tomorrow morning. One of the ladies in our Sunday school class passed away last Sunday from ovarian cancer. She was only 62! She was the sweetest, kindest woman and we will miss her. She wanted the reception to be a celebration of her life, so our class is providing food and drink.

Anyway, here is the "before" picand here is the "after" picHave any of you seen CELEBRITY REHAB on VH-1? Corby was flipping channels last night, and we watched about 10 minutes. Do you remember Jeff Conaway from the movie Grease? Oh my gosh, that guy is so strung out and looked so bad. I guess this is numerous times for him in rehab. He actually snuck cocaine in - I don't know how. They also said they have to watch his girlfriend when she comes to visit him because she's tried to bring him drugs. How sad is that? It makes you wonder how many stars/celebrities are users, and if there are any normal celebs out there. We all know about Britney Spears and Amy Winehouse...did you see the AP already has Britney's obit written? I know the news media does that for older stars, etc., but this kid is in her mid-20's. She needs major intervention from her family, or unfortunately that obit could become reality.

I'm loving Celebrity Rehab. I love Dr. Drew and really think he deeply cares for those folks. Yeah, Jeff is out of control, as are Brit and Amy. Do you watch Intervention? That is another really good show.

i wish i had a dollar for everytime you tell us "corby isn't usually like this" -- cuz he sure does seem to make a lot of dessert, and you always tell us he doesn't. hmmm.... apple pie, mayo cake, and now cookies. can corby come over and play?? :)

I've seen previews for Intervention, but haven't watched it yet. It just depends on whether or not I can get the remote control away from Corby!!!

Well cowgirl, we'll probably have a dry spell of sweets soon - a good thing though since I don't NEED THEM!

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!
