Aunt Ing and the CEO

And 100 of her co-workers.  OK - yes big deal got to have breakfast with my company's CEO.  Yes there were 100 other people there, but I did get to ask my question, I did get my corporate platitude but still it was nice to get the email, be put on the list and get to go!  Bonus - got to see a former co-worker I liked we got to sit and chat for a few minutes, catch up on some folks and generally enjoy 2 hours away from the work desk.

There was also the popping of cold meds early in the AM to ensure that the drugs were happily swimming in my system before hacking all over breakfast and said CEO.   Made it through - still not 100% giving serious thought to calling the doctor and telling him to fix me and fix me NOW!  My fear is there isn't much he can fix and all I need is a day off of work - yeah took one Monday - should have taken Tuesday too... but I didn't.  Wednesday again cold meds are working, still a bit of hack and coughing but I can mostly breathe so we'll see how I feel at the end of the day.  Signs are not pointing upward.   I will also say decent spread for breakfast, eggs, bacon, sausage, grits, fruit and muffins.  I didn't risk the grits because knowing me, I would have worn them.... yeah. 

I may risk taco salad for lunch  - between the chili and the lettuce it will either cure me or kill me.  At this point - its probably the later.

Gossip from home has been entertaining and still you wonder what your siblings are thinking on a regular basis - then I remember birth order and other factors and they probably wonder WTH when come to my life.  So gossip - share with friends who will never meet  your family or your in-laws and move on.  Everyone has family and it's fun sharing the stories.  My office mate has some great ones - my former office mate - also some great ones.  :-)   Need to figure out how to get Bubba to nudge his mama regarding the dog situation back home.... - yeah going straight to hell... now where did I put that hand basket - it's always so handy.

Final note, I have had some Girl Group Dads pounding the pavement for $$ to send the girls to the National convention this summer - which (oh bummer - where IS that sarcasm font?!) I will have to miss - one group generously came up with $50.  We need to raise over $2K - $50 bucks - cheap... ah never mind.  Its 50 bucks we didn't have 5 minutes ago....

That is all for early Wednesday - I was about to type maybe something interesting will happen but do I really want to poke Karma in the eye like that - No - No I don't.   So let's enjoy and embrace the quiet.... ahhhhh

(peeking around for Karma sharpening her mayhem blades)
