Hail Chris!

I told Chris, whose last day was today (her position was eliminated-UGH!) that I was going to name this post HAIL CHRIS! Kind of a dual post about the darn hail we had last night and Chris herself. I salute Chris - for her friendship, for her dedication to her job (not that she was recognized for this!), and for her ability to see the light at the end of her tunnel.

Okay, here's the hail. Not a ton of it, but from pea to marble size.See this marble on the post?And here's my "Chris, this isn't goodbye" photo. We've already made lunch plans, and party plans! While she will be looking for a new job, she's not sitting around on her tush. She's going on a vacation soon with her sister's family, and getting to visit several states she hasn't seen before. She is down to just a few states left to visit before she can say she's visited all 50 states! That's pretty amazing. Offhand I think I've been to about 20-22 states, so Chris definitely has me beat. She's also got some things she wants to get done around her house. Chris, you will be missed as a co-worker, but our friendship remains! You rock!

Corby and I are veggin' tonight. It's been a long week. I have Monday and Tuesday off, and I plan on enjoying it! We are going to the Beatles Symphony at Century II tomorrow night with my friend, Melody. Looking forward to that.

Have a great weekend everybody! Hopefully this wind will die down and we won't feel like we're eating dirt when we go outside!

I second that - hail Chris! She is certainly turning lemons into lemonade. I have always wanted to pursue the 50 states thing, but always seem to stay home...hmmmm.

Thank you, Linda, for all the kind words. As I sit at home on a Monday morning sipping coffee and catching up on blog posts...life seems pretty good. And yes, I have been to Hawaii, Cowgirl.

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...
