Random Song Quote of the Day

We don't need no education
We don't need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teachers leave the kids alone
Hey, teacher leave the kids alone
All in all it's just another brick in the wall
All in all you're just another brick in the wall

Pink Floyd, Another Brick In The Wall

Once I had a love and it was a gas

Friday Update

Yesterday was good. I learned a lot about entering SSA orders. These are sample orders and teaching materials that the company sends out at no charge. They are requested by important people in the company, so it is very important that I get these orders out as quickly as possible with no errors.

Thomas got home yesterday. He bought us all pizza for supper and then we went to Target to pick up a few things. After I went to bed Doug and Thomas were going to watch War of the Worlds (the new one). I'm sure Thomas enjoyed it as much as we have.

Doug has the Panda Cam on our desktop. The cute Panda has been roaming around all morning. The camera is now showing a different area of his enclosure.

I need to know that you will always be
The same old someone that I knew

The way that I believe in you

Wednesday Update

Just a quick update as I have to deal with snow this morning. Another good day of train on my new job yesterday. I got to enetr some orders on my own at my desk with no one watching over my shoulder. I think I am getting the hang of it. I should, I dreamt that I was entering orders about five different times last night.

If the real thing don't do the trick

Tuesday

The first day in my new position at work went very well. The time moved very quickly and I even started entering some of the reseller and school quote orders. I was only supposed to watch how it was done this week and start actually entering the orders next week. Last night we watched Elton John's Las Vegas concert "The Red Piano". It was very good and they showed some amazing videos.

Monday Update

Sorry I didn't update over the weekend. It was very busy and went fast. On Saturday I wrapped presents and did a little shopping. I also got started writing Christmas cards. Saturday night I baked Chocolate Chip Cookies. The recipe on the Blue Bonnet margarine box is the best. On Sunday I washed dishes, did laundry, made Green Bean Casserole, vacuumed, did cleaning, worked on the Christmas cards some more and decorated the small Christmas tree in the dining room. This was all before Mary came over for supper. We did not officially have a Soup Sunday, it was just supper with Mary. Jordan did not feel like coming along this time. Ashley ate at Sam's because it was his Dad's birthday. After Mary left we watched the 2 hour Extreme Home Makeover Christmas Special. We did not tear up until the very end.

Please Mister Postman look and see
(Oh yeah)
If there's a letter in your bag for me
(Please, Please, Mister Postman)
Why's it takin' such a long time
(Oh yeah)
For me to hear from that boy of mine

The Carpenters, Please Mr Postman

You know you can't hold me forever
I didn't sign up with you
I'm not a present for your friends to open
