Nielsen Homescan Group

I am now a member of the Neilsen Homescan Group. This means I scan my purchases every week and send them to the Neilsen Group. I can win cool prizes by doing this, so I thought - why not? I just got my scanner over the weekend, and I will submit my first purchases tomorrow. We'll see how it goes. I would love to win a big screen TV!

I had lunch today with my good friends, Joyce and Paula - both friends from high school. Yes, we've known each other for over 35 years! Paula and I were best friends sophomore year through senior year, and Joyce and I were good friends too. In fact, Joyce, my sister, Rhonda, and I lived together for a couple of years in the early to mid 80's. It's always great to get together and catch up on each others lives!

I also visited mom today. I helped her organize her new clothes so hopefully she will know what blouse to wear with what pair of pants!

Thank goodness Kaitlin's truck is fixed now! It was a minor problem - a bad connection with the battery cables. Corby had checked them out before she headed back to Manhattan on the 5th, but for some reason, something went wrong. Apparently it was hidden from his view when we went to Manhattan on Saturday. But hey - I'm glad it was something inexpensive - PLUS we got a visit with the kids out of it!

Kaleb will be coming home this weekend. He will visit with friends and hopefully spend some time with mom and dad!

I don't think I've discussed my obsession with all things OSMOND lately on my blog. As you're probably aware, Donny is on this season's Dancing With The Stars! He has been doing a great job! I'm not much of a TV watcher, but I am watching the competition on Monday nights and the results show on Tuesday nights each week. I think Donny will make it to the final 4 or 5. GO DONNY GO! It's always good to see a 51 (almost 52) year old compete with the youngsters!

I'm enjoying my "furlough" so far. I've actually had a busy Monday and Tuesday, and hopefully I'll get to do some scrapbooking and "fun" stuff the rest of my time off. Kaitlin and I are going to see DAUGHTRY in Topeka next Monday night. I'll be heading to Manhattan on Monday, we'll go to the concert, driving back to Manhattan where I will spend the night with the kids, and I'll come home on Tuesday. Looking forward to a great concert! And - I have a designated driver if I need one!

Today's music was PINK! At this point I love ANYTHING by her!

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!
