An exciting new year isn't it?

I didn't post yesterday - you might have noticed, you might not have... but nothing and I do mean nothing exciting happened yesterday. I was up WAY to early worked all day without feeling like I actually did anything productive... ah well.

Left work early - but didn't get home until much later... first getting home but traffic wasn't too bad. Then ran to the Costco, the lodge needed paper towels - I got 3 big packages... we won't run out soon. Then in a fit of selfish I went and got my nails done, they needed it. I had broken 3 since Christmas and that was counting the one we scarified to glass chewing garbage disposal machine at my mom's... So she trimmed then down (and doesn't THAT hurt my feelings) but they are now all nicely shaped painted and ready to go. They look nice.

So, got home, loved the pups and putzed around the house until Bubba got home and made his comments about the chosen veggie for dinner. Apparently we've had green beans twice in 3 days and that was enough (Saturday then again last night) and he wasn't pleased... it's not like he comes up with ideas for dinners... ever.

SO - dinner done Penguins won life last night wasn't so bad.

Wednesday and we slept in for some reason - me I am working at home. Bubba I dunno...

But he was up and gone, I am up showered and have a long list of things to get done - most of this isn't work related. Things for me at work are quiet but I have a feeling this won't last long. Just about the time I could use some quiet time at work as the girls are needing attention things at work will get nuts.. its how my life goes.

Right now I have 3 weekends booked in February... Bubba will not be pleased. I do not know how to effectively communicate the fact that I enjoy going and doing with these folks. Especially the girls - we've got new girls and they are excited to try and learn and do and it gives me new energy to deal with them. This too will pass - after the storm has blown up.. and over. ;-)

I'm going to donate blood today - I haven't been able to do that for a very long time and I don't mind doing it. Folks need it and it's a good thing. If these folks work efficiency I'm in and out in an hour - if I get the rookies then things go longer... such is life. Of course my father did say that I am a slow bleeder so that might be an issue as well LOL.

And now thanks to a girl's group mom's suggestion I've got a used book sale to organize. If you're in the area come donate and then buy more... I've got kids with laid off Dads and under employed parents... ah yes the system is working (not) and they want to go to the state convention... I thought I retired from this job... cripes.

I'm sucking in more Moms in to help and that is a good thing - now if I didn't have to deal with the other adults this wouldn't be such a pita. The kids - no problem - mostly... once you pry the phone out of their hands.

All-right-y then... I am off to do some lunch, then some more work, then 500 pounds of errands then back to the work computer and then 400 other things I've ignored through the month of December and no longer have an excuse for the month of January...

OH - and Bubba is happy with the dinner menu this evening - well I can just die happy.

Later - and stay warm -Aunt Ing.
