Random thoughts, photos & June books

Corby painted our wood swing this week, in preparation for our July 4th celebration. It looks nice.I took this picture while laying outside...some day I would like to get a really nice digital camera, but for now my Sony Cybershot will have to do.A pic of my wonderful hubby. How do you like the neighbors overflowing trash bin in the background? Obviously I wasn't paying attention to it!I read 7 books in June:
Remember to Forget - Deborah Raney
Vision in White - Nora Roberts
Deadlock - Iris Johansen (one of my FAVORITE authors)
Death by Bikini - Linda Gerber (my niece Lenore sent me this book, and I really enjoyed it)
On Every Side - Karen Kingsbury
When Joy Came to Stay - Karen Kingsbury
Where Yesterday Lives - Karen Kingsbury

The last 3 are books that Kingsbury wrote over 10 years ago. She has become a very popular Christian author in the last 4 or 5 years, and I enjoyed reading some of her earlier books.

I got some good bargains at the Eagle's Book Sale...some DVD's: Season 6 of CSI Miami, Season 2 of Jake & The Fatman (a very old TV series), Season 3 of Jon & Kate Plus 8 (thought this might become a collector's edition due to their current divorce proceedings); some CD's: Billy Ray Cyrus' new one, Eric Church, and a couple of groups I'd never heard of (for $1 ea. it was worth the unknown); and 7 books: a BBQ cookbook for Corby, 2 books by Barbara Delinsky: The Heart of the Night and Commitments, Pop Tart by Kira Coplin and Julianne Kaye, Secret Keepers by Mindy Friddle, Die for You by Lisa Unger and Malice by Lisa Jackson. Also on my TBR (to be read) list are: Prairie Tale by Melissa Gilbert, Take Two by Karen Kingsbury and Death by Latte & Death by Denim by Linda Gerber. What can I say - I LOVE TO READ!

ONE WEEK FROM TODAY is the KEITH URBAN concert at the Coliseum! I CAN'T WAIT!!!!

Today's music was Daughtry and a quote for today: "Down deep in every human soul is a hidden longing, impulse, and ambition to do something fine and enduring." -- Grenville Kleiser

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!
