Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to Corby - our kids are so lucky to have such a great dad! They are sure going to miss his cooking and car knowledge when they head to Manhattan!

It's HOT! HUMID! NASTY! But at least our tomato plants are doing well.Abby & Muffin have been hanging out in strange places...not sure why they were laying on this afghan. They knocked it off a basket under my drafting table.Abby likes to climb behind the blind in the window on the south side of the basement. I rarely open that blind. I've caught her climbing between the slats. Hopefully she won't get stuck and choke herself.

We've been playing the computer / monitor / TV shuffle today. Kaleb built a new computer for school, so we had an extra hard drive. We took the LCD TV out of our bedroom and made it the monitor for my computer - then took my old monitor and put it on Kaleb's old hard drive so Corby will have a computer!!!! Can you believe it? I'm finally getting him into the technology world!!!! He knows how to surf the net a bit, but really doesn't spend ANY time on the computer at all, so now we'll be able to e-mail each other across the basement - HA! I might even get him on Facebook! The kids have played the TV shuffle, so we actually got our old TV back from Kaitlin, so we put it back in the bedroom.

Corby insists on cooking today - even though it's Father's Day. He's going to make chicken & rice soup, which might sound too hot for a hot day - but his soup is awesome - it doesn't make any difference if it's hot outside or not! His birthday is tomorrow. Not sure yet if we're taking him out to eat or to a movie - doubt we'll do both. We all want to see "The Proposal" with Sandra Bullock, so we'll probably go see it.

Today's music is random - some Melissa Etheridge, Elton John, Michael W. Smith, Captain & Tennille - have it set on shuffle, so I'm listening to all sorts of stuff!

I like this W.C. Fields quote: "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Then quit. There's no use being a damn fool about it."

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!
