Book signing, visit w/family...

I'm not doing a very good job of keeping up with my blog.

Had a busy weekend with family. My niece, Lenore and her husband, Daniel were here visiting from Germany. They came over on Friday night, along with my brother & sister-in-law and my best friend, Melody. We had a really nice evening of snacks and chats!

Saturday was a fun day! Daniel did a book-reading and signing at Watermark Books for "Is Your Buffalo Ready for Kindergarten" -- the first book he's illustrated. Lenore was his Vanna White - showing the illustrations as he read the book.


We had a lot of fun, and several friends and family members purchased books and got them signed. Daniel also did a buffalo illustration inside the cover for everyone! Here is Westley, the son of a co-worker as he watches Daniel draw in and sign his book.

17 of us went out to Abuelo's afterwards to celebrate! Mom enjoyed the afternoon and evening!

Sunday, Kaitlin and I met Lenore, Daniel, Nick, Terry & Sandy at the Warren Theatre and saw "The Town" with Ben Affleck (who also directed). It was a very well done movie.

I've been on vacation Monday and Tuesday, getting things done around the house. Took mom to the doctor yesterday afternoon for her regular 2 month checkup. She fell returning to Presbyterian Manor with Marilyn on Sunday evening and banged up her cheek and got a cut from her glasses above her eye. She's a bit stiff and sore, but thankfully didn't break any bones.

Me and my friends at the Kansas concert with the WSU Symphony. Melody, Chris, Susan and me...we had a blast!

Lousy pic of Kansas. I need a better camera.


Cats chilling on a cool, fall day. They love Kaitlin's new blankies!

One of the reasons I love fall is because I burn tons of scented candles.

Everyone has been talking about how good Honeycrisp apples are, so I bought one - just one - at Dillons the other day. That one apple cost me $1.54 because it was so huge! See how it stacks up next to a Gala? But it was DELICIOUS! Corby and I split it and we both agree, it was worth the money!

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!
