Mindless chatter 2zday

Tina, as long as you don't point out the black socks, I doubt anyone will notice.

I have a spider bite on the back of my thigh that is swollen & hurting like, well ya know.  It happened Friday evening at the barn, & I thought that it was doing ok, but this morning it doesn't look so good.  My doctor has an opening this afternoon, so I'm going to get it checked.

Mother Nature is in a snit. A big one.

I got up at 6am this morning and it was dark enough for me to think it was more like 5am, not so. A storm system was moving in. I made it to work before it started raining, but the lightning was furious all the way to work, low to the ground too. Constant flashes and pitch black outside. It started raining a little after 8am and finally just stopped.This  storm stalled right over us and dumped 3 to 7 inches an hour at one point. The flooding in town is horrible. Alot of people are having their cars stall and are having to be rescued.

I am staying right here, kind of wish the power would go out so we could go home but oh well.

I need an ark...pronto.

Amanda, that sounds very ouchie, Tina just ignore your socks and I am sure others will as well.

socks and spiders......

Amanda, it's always a good idea to get something like that checked.

It's miserably hot here today and supposed to stay that way all week.  Will run a couple quick errands and then stay inside in the AC for the rest of the day.  I did my walk this morning at 5:45 and it was hot and sticky THEN.  But, it's August, and July and August are supposed to be the most miserable months here, so hopefully when we get to September we'll have cooler temps.  Not expecting 70's during the day......just hoping for cooler and a bit dryer air.  Guess I'll take what I can get though, huh?

Hope everyone has a good day!

Tina - I agree with Amanda. I doubt anyone will notice. At least you didn't wear 1 blue and 1 black sock. I rarely turn the light on in my walk-in closet and one day I got to work and realized I'd worn 2 different boots. They were both black but one had a pointy toe and one didn't. I'm not sure anyone really noticed that either but I stayed at my desk most of the day

Amanda - let us know what you find out. Hopefully it isn't a serious spider bite.

I slept soooo good last night and am getting very used to staying up later and sleeping in a little and also taking a nap. I swear that I'm eating good but I'm down to 113.5. I can't ever remember weighing that little. I normally weigh 120, give or take a pound. I'm sure it'll all come back soon.

Ok, why am I suddenly singing "I don't like spiders and snakes"..............

cakana

Cathy, I've done that before!  And when I was wearing mules - open in the back, woven front area that you could see the socks through.  Your boot story made me LOL! 

Amanda, I hope your spider bite isn't too serious.  Good that your doctor can fit you in today, just to be on the safe side.

Ok, why am I suddenly singing "I don't like spiders and snakes"..............

LOL, now I am too.

Amanda, hope the spider bite isn't something serious.  I've been bit by spiders a few times but they never caused a reaction like that so best to make sure.

Cathy, glad you slept good but I think I am getting those pounds you keep losing.....I prefer to eat my calories and enjoy them rather than get them by telepathy. lol  You are so going to hate going back to your work schedule.  How is your fill-in guy doing or have you heard?

Tina, I grab mismatched socks fairly regularly.  I have had people point it out to me, to which I replied  that I did it on purpose because I like to rotate them.  That puzzles them all day.  I saw some really cool sneakers not too long ago.  They were those crazy plaid with all different colors and patterns and each foot is differently colored and patterned. 

Dawn, I hope the flooding doesn't affect you. Be careful and I know what you mean about hoping the power goes out so you can go home. 

My printer at work is doing strange things and it's really annoying because I need to print something out.  I'll use another printer but I just hate the thought of getting a new one.  I hate shopping for that kind of stuff.  I was in a rotten mood yesterday but seem to be over it today.  DH is in Borger for a cousin's funeral.  DH has made that drive many times but he called me ten times on the way there to tell me how neat the Garmin is for telling him when a rest stop is coming up.  Hard for me to get excited since I just look for the signs.  We've had the Garmin for a while but I'm usually the one that uses it.  I didn't sleep good last night, weird dreams and missing DH.  It was nice to have the house to myself but I don't know why.  I didn't do anything I wouldn't do if he were home.  Well, maybe I wouldn't have let Twister sleep in bed with me. lol

I have to admit (only because its been years ago); that as I arrived work one morning...I was getting out of the car and noticed that I had on two different SHOES.  Oh good grief.  They were both black....but there was no way I was going through the day with two diffent shoes.  ROFL.  I drove back home to change. 

Today is my birthday.  The big 5.0.  My mind says nah, I'm 30....my bod says nah, I'm 60.  LOL  Regardless...you only turn a 1/2 century old once.  Gadzooks, that is a scary statement.  I'm 50 years old.    My DH has sang Happy Birthday 3 separate times today.  He is so funny.   We are going to a nice dinner tonight.  But, best of all....we are going to take a cruise next month in celebration of our both turning 50 this year.  I'm so excited.

Yesterday, I got the official word that I'm changing roles at work.  YAY!  I'm so excited about that as well.  I've been somewhat bored and unchallenged for over a year now.  And, the boss knows that.  So, we have this new high-power executive coming on board; and I will be supporting her.  This is a 1-step down for me...but I was already at the top of the Admin chain....with no place else to go.  LOL 

I get to keep my Job Level code and my salary grade; so that is a big deal.  And part of that deal is there will be some tasks that my current boss doesn't trust to anyone else that I will continue to do (legal filings; and personnel updates in the HR system/tool, etc. etc.).

Jackie, go to hp.com and find you a printer...the website makes it easy for you to choose.

Amanda....maybe you go see a doctor for that bite...better to be safe.

Have a great 2zday everyone!

Barb, Happy Birthday, again. lol   Fifty is a big one but the next ones get easier.  I don't mind getting older as long as I stay healthy. *knocks wood*   Here's some cake, eat all you want, no calories!!!!!

Happy 50th Birthday Barbara!!! It didn't bother me a bit when I turned 50 two years ago. I celebrated the whole year. I flew to Florida and took my friend to Orlando for a week. I bought my Lexus and then we went to Maui for a week. It's a good thing that birthday only comes once in a lifetime :)

Jackie - I think the fill-in guy is doing okay or no one wants me to know differently. I did hear that he wanted to have Fridays off. I hope he gets it cause it'll make my case for the same a lot easier when I go back.

 Happy Birthday!!!

I have an order @ work!!  And maybe 2 more coming!!!  This is exciting, something to do other than busy work!!  :::scrambles back to do WORK:::

Happy Birthday Barb! I hope you have a fantastic day.

On a serious note we got 6.5 inches of rain and 3200 lightning strikes in 75 min this morning. And more coming this afternoon.

Mother nature hates us right now.

Happy Birthday Barb!!

Amanda, hope you feel better after seeing the doc.

I'm so bored at work today.  La di da....

Happy Birthday, Barbara!!!
