Tuesday Update
Not much to report from yesterday. I helped train a new employee. She seems to be pretty good. She will be working tech support and helping with customer service. She said she wanted to find something less stressful than her previous job. Not sure this was a good career move if less stress is what she is looking for.
We had a nice talk on the phone with Chloe last night. It sounds like classes and work are keeping her pretty busy.
We had yummy leftover pulled pork for supper. We watched the Top Gear season finale. We also watched the new Two & A Half Men and Big Bang Theory. What a hoot. Not much else happened yesterday.

Monday Update
The last three days went very quickly. We accomplished quite a bit though. And now I'm back to work for a full week. Not too excited about that.
Yesterday we had pulled pork sandwiches, potato salad, calico beans (Wanda), chips, zucchini bread and lemon poke cake (Wanda). It was a delicious meal. After supper everyone went inside and we watched the Emmies. Neal Patrick Harris did a very good job of hosting.
I hope everyone has a good Monday.

GIBRALTAR AIRPORT
Gibraltar Airport is a very unusual airport. It is the only one where the runway actually intersects with a major highway. When a plane has to take off or land, traffic is shut down.

Gum Art
Italian artist Maurizio Savini creates the most amazing sculptures out of pink chewing gum exhibiting them all throughout Europe. He even sold each one of them for at least 40.000€.
The rest accidentally ended up on the bottom of art patron's shoes.
Sunday Update
Yesterday was a busy day. I went grocery shopping early, in fact Wanda and I arrived at Hy Vee at the same time. We walked in the door together. Since we got there early we were able to find all the specials we wanted without any trouble.
After lunch Doug put some chicken, rice and dehydrated zucchini in the crock pot for supper. Needless to say supper was very good.
After mixing up supper Doug and I went about cleaning the carpet in the living room. It went pretty smoothly and it did not take as long to dry as we had thought it would. It was a lot of work moving the couches and cleaning behind all the furniture that had not been moved in a while. The living room is looking very good now. Thanks to Wanda for loaning her carpet cleaning machine.
Now we need to move on to the dining room. Hopefully the new motherboard Doug ordered will get here in a timely manner and we can move all the computer bits and pieces out of the dining room soon.

Saturday Update
The cat outside was going crazy again this morning. I'm not sure what he is doing out there in the dark, but is sure is noisy. It also concerns Mao.
I plan to go grocery shopping early this morning, they are having a 6 hour sale at Hy Vee and you know they will run out of things if I don't get there early. I think Wanda is planning to do the same. Doug said we should take plastic guns with us and pretend to shot each order around the corner in the aisles. What a crazy idea, they would take us away in those shirts with the wrap around arms and then we would never get the specials.
We are also planning to clean carpets sometime today. That should be fun since it involves moving couches and other furniture. I think I am feeling up to it though.
I hope everyone has a wonderful Saturday.

Friday Update
I am happy to be home today. I slept in until 6:30, probably because I stayed up a little later than normal and Mao did not wake me up.
I can tell it is almost Fall because Thumper is shedding his scales. It is so cool, the pieces of shell that fall off almost feel like thick pieces of waxed paper. Before I know it Thumper will be in hibernation mode and stop eating until next Spring. Right now he is still eating pretty steady.
Today I plan to clean out some of the dead plants from the garden. I also plan to bake some zucchini bread. I have been saying I would bake the bread all week, but I really do plan to today. I also think Doug wants me to go with him to the Habitat for Humanity Store today as well.

Dispatchwork
Jan Vormann restores crumbling architecture with what he calls dispatchwork with the emphasis on the patchwork. Instead of plaster or stucco,the German artist mends cracks,holes and fissures in buildings with Lego blocks. He's left his mark on the streets of Amsterdam,St. Petersburg and Tel Aviv,among other places.

Thursday Update
Yeah!! Today is my Friday, I have another vacation day tomorrow. It is a good thing too. Yesterday was another crazy day at work. We started with more insane callers, my crazy guy from the day before called again and got one of the other reps. Then our order system slowed down to a crawl, it took at least 3 minutes for each page to load, way too slow. Then after lunch my phone went crazy and I wasn't getting incoming calls. The help desk could not figure out the problem and I had to use the phone from our conference room.
I was glad to get home and find Doug had made another zucchini lasagna, it smelled so good when I walked in the door. It was very delicious as well...
We watched Glee and the Leno Show. I loved the Ghosting segment.

Wednesday Update
Yesterday was a nutty day at work, lots of crazies calling in. It makes me laugh the ideas that people get into their head.
After work I felt really lazy. We had PB&J sandwiches with chips for supper. I washed a few dishes and then lounged on the couch the rest of the night. I watched part of a show about meteors hitting the earth. We also watch The Leno Show again. Still not real impressed. It's not that bad, but it also isn't any better than what he did before.
