OMG- 2 days!

We haven't talked in two whole days! My goodness - oh I remember yesterday at work the Internet kept going up and down... apparently Large Nameless Corporation wanted us to be productive the Tuesday after a 3 day weekend... I was to a point. ;-)

Monday was super-fab Bubba had to go to work - and I didn't bwaaha ha ha ha... OK that wasn't nice, poor boy is working so hard. But Monday I was very productive, I got up after Bubba left for work, got my act together and went grocery shopping -- for the whole week. I have dinners planned and a list together -- yes I was organized. A strange occurrence in my world I know but there it was.

Now due to changing work schedules we've had to rearrange the dinners but things are on track and on time. I enjoyed the quiet day, didn't log on at all - oh wait I did. We have another doggie saga.,.. Shelby is on the mend, Violet has some gross looking thing over her tooth - so I called my resident tooth expert - aka Mom, then sent her some semi-blurry pictures of the issue and she gave me some suggestions. I had to call her Monday night when I went to follow her suggestions and the gross thing did something else gross and I had to call mom... ick.. could have been worse there could be blood or ooze of some sort. We don't do ooze or blood well - or at all.

And on a side note do you have any idea how hard it is to hold open a dog's mouth keep her head still, and operate a digital camera? it's not easy - and you get fuzzy pictures - sorry Mom.

OK so Bubba was happy Monday night for when he arrived home from work, he had dinner on the stove, everything ready all he had to do was scoop, heat and eat. Which he did. Oh and did I mention there was lemon pound cake as well? There was... (and no I don't know what came over me... I was channelling Mary the super mom-housewife from 1953 - but I wasn't wearing the dress or the pearls.)

Tuesday found ourselves heading out to work, no big deal, the boss is in town and I spent my day in meeting after meeting after meeting after meeting.... you get the point. By 4:30 I really didn't want to talk to another person - well about work. Got home, tossed together some dinner - gave Bubba his birthday card - which he liked. He fielded calls from family wishing him a happy day. There were snippy comments about what his wife got him for his birthday - I took him out to dinner!! I made reservations to one of his favorite places. Yeesh - he can't take that back to the store! I thought it was a nice thing. Did I mention homemade lemon pound cake?

His buddy at work emailed the world according to Bubba and apparently he was getting birthday wishes from folks he spoke to only occasionally. Frankly I thought that was very funny. Then he pulled the the nice guy card and took Bubba out for coffee and a gourmet cupcake - and I can assure you he won't do that again. Bubba on sugar and caffeine - is akin to a 5 year old unsupervised with the Halloween candy... flying high and spaze-bot all over the place.

While the dinner wasn't gourmet - it was edible, hot and ready when he got home. Happy Birthday here eat this - you didn't have to shop for it, prepare it, or clean up afterwards. Everyday is Bubba's birthday. And Ms. Snippy is back.

So this morning, I was up EARLY and on my way only to hit... break lights - no I didn't literally hit them but apparently a tracker trailer lost its load on the beltway - and I sat there almost on the beltway... stopped dead in my tracks.... for 30 minutes. So much for getting in early. But it's early enough that I can leave early and tend to more Ladies' Group banking issues. I will never do this again either! Cripes already. They can prove we exist through some website -we've shown them our 90 year old hand written charter, (which they now have to make a copy of) and now they want meeting minutes - a fact they didn't bother to mention either of the 2 previous visits......... Sigh. But we're meeting, we're dealing and next year - I won't be doing this again!

And now we're into Wednesday - I am NOT at home, because Friday promises to be a poopy weather day so I decided to come in Wednesday and stay home Friday. Watch it rain. Not to mention the boss is at the other office today so he never would have known I didn't come in.

Tonight's dinner was prepped last night and I left a note for Bubba to turn on the crock pot - it's taped to the window of his car - he'll remember. We'll see what turns out tonight - but same thoughts - you didn't have to shop for it, prepare it or clean up afterwards... eat it and hush.

Well that was enough dumping for 2 days absent - I'm surprised Mom didn't call. ;-)

Talk to you later - probably tomorrow as the rest of the day promises to be very very quiet.

And for those of you interested - Shelby appears to be on the mend, which makes life harder as she doesn't like being on the leash in the backyard... another 3 weeks should prove to be very entertaining.
