Stuff....

I apologize for all of the cat/kitty pictures, but I can't help it...aren't they adorable?They both love to crash in the window in the basement...The only way they can reach the window is from my desk. We have a "no lag" rule. If they jump on my desk, they must immediately jump into the window. They follow the rules when I'm here, but who knows what they do when I'm gone?

It's been a STRANGE week at work. We received an e-mail late Tuesday afternoon that the VP of Operations was leaving to pursue other options. As a member of the Operations group, I was surprised. He had been off on personal leave for a couple of weeks, but it was an unexpected departure. One of the guys who started a copy boy in the newsroom and worked there into his 7o's? - used to say "I've seen 'em come, and I've seen 'em go." Well - I'm at that point now. I'll celebrate my 32nd anniversary in November (if I make it that long) and I'm beginning to feel like ol' Wayne! The newspaper business is in dire straits right now!

Mom's cataract surgery went well on Tuesday. My sister took her yesterday morning for a quick check, and they said the eye was healing well. We are hoping to get her some of those "magnifying" glasses at Walmart to tide her over until they get her fitted for new glasses. The doctor said those might help her see better in the interim. I hope so as she really struggles to see. The nursing home is having a LUAU this Saturday afternoon, so we are going to go party!!!!

My current book is Lady Killer by Lisa Scottoline. It's hooked me - I hope to finish it tonight or tomorrow.

Today's music: Montgomery Gentry's new CD. VERY GOOD!

And a quote to end the post - fittingly about twins since this is their senior year:
" Twins...
Like branches on a tree, we grow in different directions,
yet our roots remain as one.
Each of our lives will always be a special part of the other."

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...
