This week we...

These are figures that the kids made us over the years...

I enjoy my Sunday mornings - reading the paper, checking out the sales flyers, clipping coupons and working the crossword puzzle...
For some reason, I cannot move the pictures after uploading them, so they are all at the top in this post...sorry...

We had a good week. I enjoyed a couple days of vacation. We ate dinner at Logan's Steakhouse on Wednesday night. Yes, I had a coupon. We saved $5 off our meals. There was no wait, the service was good, and the food was good!

It was back to work for me on Thursday. I had a really busy Friday because my assistant was sick. It's always really busy when you have to lay out three papers as well as paginate three classified sections by yourself. We finished the week off by having my best friend Melody over Friday evening. We spent quite a while catching up on our visiting, while drinking some margaritas and eating chips, salsa, guacamole (not me, I hate it!), cheese, summer sausage, etc. We started a game of UNO, but in the middle of the second hand, we got a phone call from Kaitlin. Melody and I both chatted with her for a while, so by the time we hung up, we were ready to watch a Barry Manilow concert DVD. We actually ended up watching TWO concert DVD's, and Melody didn't leave until after 2:30am. That's the latest I've stayed up in a LONG time! We had a wonderful time!

Yesterday we were busy with our usual errand-running. Mom was moved into a different room at Presbyterian Manor this week. She had requested a change and they moved her on Friday afternoon. It's very similar to her old room, but she has a new roommate who enjoys her privacy as much as mom does. It will take her a little while to adjust, as she has all new nurses and help staff since she's in a different wing. Corby and I got her pictures re-hung for her while we were there yesterday. We also went to Target, Lowe's, Home Depot and Dillons. We were looking for a patio screen door, and we finally found one at Home Depot. Of course, after we got it home, Corby realized he'd gotten the wrong size.

Today has been busy with yard work and laundry. The Chiefs gave it a good effort at Baltimore, but Baltimore won after scoring the go-ahead touchdown with 2 minutes left in the game. The Chiefs did better than I thought they would!

Tonight it's slow-cooked pork short ribs for dinner. Yummmmmm....

Have a great week!

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!
