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."

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!
