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!

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!
