Yep, we lead exciting lives...

okay, maybe not so much...but we did have a good week.

After my productive but relaxing vacation day on Monday, we celebrated Corby's birthday on Tuesday. It was such a hot and humid day that I surprised him and his co-workers with some cupcakes and popsicles around 1pm. I was basically mobbed when they found out I had popsicles!

Kaitlin and I took him to Hu Hot for dinner. I had never been there, though I'd been to a similar place in KC in May. He really liked it. We also got a free dessert. We'd already eaten part of it before I remembered to take a picture!

Kaitlin and I went to lunch at The Beacon on Wednesday. Well, it was lunchtime but we both had breakfast. She had an omelet and I had biscuits & gravy.

Thursday I was VERY excited to receive my copy of "Is Your Buffalo Ready for Kindergarten"...

My niece's husband, Daniel, did the illustrations. I took it to work on Friday and showed it to all the graphic designers in my ACS department. Everyone was very impressed. Great job Daniel, and I can't wait for the second book!

Kaitlin left for KC on Friday afternoon to visit her friend Lydia, so we've had a couple of days of "empty nest syndrome" again. She will be home this evening, and Lydia is actually following her home and will spend a week or so with us.

Last night we went out with my friend/boss, Cindy and her husband, Jerry.

We all go back a long way. Their oldest daughter Jennifer was the flower girl at our wedding, and both she and her sister, Megan, babysat our kids when they were little. Now they are both married with children of their own. Anyway, we went out to dinner at Abuelo's (my favorite restaurant) and then went bowling at Northrock Lanes. We were quite the motley bowlers. I think Cindy won the first game with a score in the low 100's, and I won the second game with a score of 104! We had fun though!

Did our double $1 coupon shopping at Leeker's this morning, after doing our regular shopping at Dillons yesterday. Saved about $25 at Leeker's and got several items free!

Current music: Blake Shelton, early Bob Seger, and I'm really getting excited about the Eagles concert on Wednesday!!!! CAN'T WAIT!

Both our cats love boxes, and I knew that Abby would enjoy this box that Daniel's book arrived in...

 Hope everyone has a great week!

What's Good

Here's what's good right now: 1. Corby's OKAY after an accident at work today! He was on the forklift pulling onto a truck when the truck driver pulled away from the dock apparently to reallign himself (WHAT AN IDIOT DRIVER!!!) and he fell off the dock. Thank goodness there is a roll-bar on those forklifts. He has a headache and will probably be stiff tomorrow, but says he is okay. They sent him for a drug test. It's their policy if someone has an accident at work. 2. Feeling much better. I'm about 75% well now. Still have a cough and some sinus issues, but I think I'll survive. 3. Spending today with Kaleb & Kaitlin. 4. Having such good kids. Leeker's just called Kaitlin to see if she'd work longer hours today. They have a lot of employees out sick. She was supposed to work 4-8, but volunteered to work 2-9. Here's a pat on the back hon! 5. Enjoying some Josh Groban music. 6. Cleaning out my file cabinet and getting ready for 2008. I know, I...
