    Mindless Moanday...

    Do I really hafta get up???   I don't wanna !

    Had a good weekend.  Closed the store early Friday afternoon.  Stayed long enough to make sure the staff was all set for the opening day of the next ad Saturday morning.  Yes, we were open on New Year's Day.  It was a Saturday ya know...gotta stay open and start a promotion....I staged a little protest and took the weekend off.  That also made up for not getting an extra day off for Christmas.  Saturday was fine.  I have a great staff and they had a great day !

    The other piece of excitement on Friday was the firth of my first nephew !  Little Avery Thomas (7.5 lbs) arrived just in time to be a cheap baby Smile  His actual due date was Jan. 4.  Health insurance was changing on Jan 1.  If he was born on the first or later, the whole thing was going to be a lot more expensive !   Nothing went as SIL planned....but the important part is that everybody is doing well and they went home yesterday afternoon.  I will get permission to post a couple pics.  He has wild crazy sticky up hair Big Smile

    New Year's Day was Baily's Gotcha Day !  Jan 1, 2005 we brought home a nervous 7-8 month old who had a confusing start to life.  I can't believe it's been 6 years !!!  I will post some pics later.

    Great job on the TV Karen

    Julie....DON'T BLOW !

    Yay for new starter coils

    Hugs for Pepper's family

    Glad everyone has a fun and safe NYE

    Have a great day!

    Oh, I know the feeling!!  I didn't want to get out of bed this morning either.

    Congrats on the new nephew!  Glad he cooperated and showed up early!

    I soooo enjoyed the warmer temps over the weekend.  Now it's back to feels like 16.  So back to layers for me.

    Have a great start to the new work year all!

    I'm back - didja miss me?

    Stayed up way too late on NYE, ate too much, but overall had a nice time.

    Got my espresso machine all the way home and it still didn't work.  I was livid.  The place isn't open til tomorrow, so they will get a call from me.

    DS had a party, lost the remote to my dvd/vcr and let people smoke in the house, so he is on my crap list today.  He told me about the remote, but I guess he thought he aired the house out enough.

    Glad Ginger is safe. I saw the report of tornadoes on the news when I was at my friend's and she was the first person I thought of.

    So sorry about Pepper, but I am glad Leslie made it in time to be with her.

    In a word  . . . . yes !  How much fun did you have??

    I tossed and turned all night and now have the beginnings of a headache and I hardly ever get headaches.

    How much fun did you have??

    Enough that I have some aches in places that don't get used frequently. Wink

    Hopefully you aren't coming down with something, Deb.

    I hope everyone enjoyed their long weekend if they had one. lol  I hated to come back to work but only because it's so slow right now I'm a bit bored. 

    Tina, glad you had a good time but sad your espresso machine is still not working.  What a bite.  :(

    Deb, I hope you can fend off your headache. 

    Mindy, congrats on the new family member.  I can't wait to see his spiky crazy hair.  That's how mine looks every morning when I wake up. lol  Rex's gotcha day was January 1st too. :)   Happy belated gotcha day to your boy and mine.

    Oh my.

    You understand middle-aged sex, though.  Thrown in one bad back (his) and one bad knee (mine) and just about anything can seem like acrobatics.  I knew I shoulda packed the senior love cream (Ben-gay).  LOL

    Great job on the TV Karen

    Thanks Mindy!  I was more nervous about posting it than I was for the interview LOL

    Holy sinus pain batman - it was 60* and muggy yesterday morning and 24* this morning - yeeouch!  

    I owed B a good long walk so we had one - then while I was wandering the yard checking things out he came flying from somewhere and ran crazy zoomies for about 10 minutes straight.  I was laughing so hard I was crying - been a LONG time since he's had such an extended zoomie, glad he's feeling up to it again.

    Laugh of the day - yesterday I took him to a shopping area that has a library book drop that I needed to use, so I walked him around and into a store allows dogs, its an REI type store but with creaky wooden floors. We've tried to walk around there before but not very successfully and I always worry he'll slobber some clothes but yesterday, my boy was good.  Really good.  So good someone approached me and asked if I was a professional trainer bwa ha ha ha, still has me laughing

    Sounds like everyone had a good weekend, here's to 2011 being a good year!

    Yep, it's not grinding the beans.  And the grinder was replaced.  I put beans in the hopper, push the button, can hear the grinder spinning, but it's not doing anything. I asked about warranty and he said yes on the parts replaced.

     That's stinky about your machine Tina, I'd be pretty livid!

    My Dad got me a really cool Xmas gift (we did gifts yesterday since I couldn't see him on Xmas) a GPS for my car!!!! I am someone with absolutely NO sense of direction lol, so that was really really thoughtful. He also got me a Snuggie lol. I've always hated those commercials and swore I would never own or buy one on principle alone. I must confess...it's really warm and comfy Stick out tongue

    Today is going to be a long work day. Speaking of which, off to pour another cup of coffee and buckle down.and get to it.

    Man, Tina, I hate it when I have trouble grinding.

    I had Wendy on a dang flexi leash yesterday morning - she saw a buzzard and took off, full speed. My left shoulder was sore but I went on with my day. After F-MIL's party I had to swiffer the floor and I think that's what did me in. I made FH make me an ice pack and iced it on and off last night. When I got up this morning to go for a run I couldn't tie my shoes! Ow. I had FH tie them and off I went. He told me NO GYM so I smiled and nodded and went anyway. Bad idea.

    I need to go shopping for school clothes but I am totally dreading it.

    Julie, hope you're feeling better.

    30 min wait for the doc so far. Seriously, why don't they spread the appointments out if they know this doc always runs 40+ mins behind? I have never had an appt with him that wasn't 40 mins late. Even my surgery was 40 mins later than scheduled! I would rather be at home sleeping
