    TGIF!

    Finally. I am thinking a half day is in order today.

    I'll second all of the above.  Fridays are busy for me so a half day isn't going to happen, but we are supposed to have sunshine and a temporary end to the rain so.......

    Well were is everybody today?  Jackie heads up it was 67 at 4:30 a.m. and dropped 10 degrees in an hour. We are now having heavy rain and lots of lightning.  I just got popped in the ear  by lightning...now that was a  "shocker" :)  (I wear a phone earpiece at work)  The front is a big one, my fibro felt it first while sleeping woke me up at midnight and now I am a zoombie.

    We are supposed to get freezing temps by Sat night...burrrrrrr!

    Hot and Rock love this time of year, me not so much.

    Hope everyone has a good day!

    Wonder what the tiki bar special will be today....something yummy and chocolate with a blast of expresso would be nice:)

    We're supposed to get a front in Saturday night and temps in the 60's on Sunday.  It will be nice to have some cooler temps but I hope we don't get any bad storms.  Sorry you got zapped!  Ouch!  I hope your fibro settles down.

    Without Deb we're left to our own imagination on Tiki bar drinks since Tina seems to be a slacker when it comes to finding us drinks. lol   A friend of mine told me about a pineapple upside down margarita but I'm still waiting for her to send me the recipe. 

    We're interviewing for a service tech.  I am always shocked that some people lie right to your face hoping you won't do a background check or call their references.  One guy told us he had a few minor things on his criminal record that had all been dismissed but when we checked we found numerous felony convictions for possession with intent to distribute and carrying an illegal weapon.  Doesn't take a genius to figure out what his sideline is.  You would never have suspected based on his clean cut appearance and personable attitude in the interview.  Oh well, the search continues.

    Well, then you you shouldn't need any espresso. Stick out tongue

    Jackie is right; I am a slacker in the drink department. It's all part of my plan to never be left in charge again.

    LOL!  One of the girls just went and got us a Ham&Cheese Croisant so I am feeling a bit more human at the moment.

    I wish I could capture this weather and hold on to it forever. It finally cooled down last night and is actually a little chilly this morning. Perfect!

    As I mentioned yesterday, I don't normally sleep with ear plugs in when DH is working but I did last night and slept like a baby. I highly recommend them to anyone having trouble with noisy husbands or other noises.

    yes, please.

     After a ridiculous ordeal requiring 2 days worth of phone calls and faxes I finally got my flu shot yesterday.  A complete cluster for something so simple.

    Today at work it turns out one of our big projects from last year is going to have to be revised b/c we failed to test all the sizes we were changing and come to find out, in reality only 1 size works.     In addition to that, we apparently don't know what plate size we use for a standard, b/c depending on which reference sheet you look at it calls for 2 different sizes.  And they aren't interchangeable.  One requires less work than the other so I'm trying to get everything updated to show that one.  In researching this I'm told this came up a year ago and was never corrected.

    On the bright side I'm having a great hair day, so there is that.... :D

    Jackie, glad to hear Twister's appointment went well yesterday, and fingers crossed he has no issues with the meds.

    I had fun watching Bugsy play with the foster pup this morning - that is one wonderful pup. Such a great temperament AND wonderful mix of  thoughtful and bold. ex. Bugsy was done playing so he ran up to our porch and went through the dog door. Puppy went flying after him but skidded to a stop at the dog flap. He sat and looked at it. Sniffed it. I went in the porch from the other side and called him. He still sat and looked. I said, c'mon and he pawed at it, when it moved he was momentarily startled and his next move was to fly through!! Good boy!

    Lastly Julie as requested a reminder about 20/20 tonight - on ABC 10 here but it says 9 central

    MMMMM  yummy Tiki Bar special Karen.

    LOL, at the puppy and doggie door the only thing that would have made that story any cuter would have been action photos. Wink

    I set 20/20 to record tonight...just in case I forget or fall asleep. 

    Today is Step Daughter's birthday, tomorrow is my Granny's BDay (rip Granny we miss you), Sunday is my  daughters BDay, Tuesday is one Granddaughters 5 year old bday and one week from Tuesday is my other granddaughters 6 year old BDay.  Whew! Do you think they could get any closer???

    It turns out I had 40 hrs in this week as of noon today so I skipped out of the office with a happy face.

    That puppy dog door story is cute.

    Sucks about the felony applicant. What's worse is that guy will have to keep up his felonias ways because he will never get a job that pays more than min wage. That stuff stays with you forever. I am so glad i never got caught doing stuff. I have friends who got misdemeanors when we were young for drinking and so forth but I always got out of it. I would hate to have that in my record while job hunting. I must have had someone watching over me.

    October fest is going on dowtown tonight. A few of us were going to go until we listened to the bands that were going to be there. Blech. We are not paying $30 for that! Plus drinks. Too bad!

    Off to get an oil change shortly, I have had a frustrating morning, way too many interruptions and buggy software

    Congrats on the early Friday finish Julie!

    It is finally a sunny day here - wahoo - first one since last week!

    I was just taking stuff out of my car before heading out and B thinks every trip to the car means he's going somewhere exciting. Oh to have such optimism Wink
