Thursday Update

Yesterday was very good. At lunch time I called home, I talked with Doug and found out what had been happening around home. Then about 5 minutes after I had hung up Doug called me back and said my prize from the Doritos Gone Digital contest had finally arrived. I was so excited, I could hardly wait to go home. After a very slow afternoon, my supervisor said I could go home an hour early. We get on an early out list if our sales for the day before are at a certain percent to the total number of calls we took.

Needless to say when I got home from work Doug showed me how to use my new MP3 player and I had fun listening to it while I drove to the bread store and then again when Chloe and I went to pick up Ashley from work.

The inlaws called last night and said their drive down here may be delayed because the transmission on the van they are borrowing is having problems. They needed Doug to look up some things online, because the place they took it to did not know what they were doing. Not a good sign when you are getting car work done.

I hope everyone has a good day today.

Wednesday Update

Yesterday started very slow at work. After writing about 20 emails, I was given a very boring spread sheet to work on. Those of us working on spread sheets just about feel asleep on the job.

Chloe had Laura over for supper last night and then they decided she would spend the night. We had a very good supper. Chuck steak slow cooked in the roaster all day, with mashed potatoes (the best Laura has ever had), gravy, corn and bread. It was all very yummy.

It rained Monday night and Tuesday morning, so I did not have to water the garden last night. However, Ashley did go out yesterday and weeded some of the garden. Thanks Ashley.

Thats all I have for now. It is getting late and I need to get ready for work.

Sunday Update

Yesterday was very quiet around here. Ashley spent Friday night with Keely and left around 8:30 to Adveture Land. Chloe got up early and went on her walk. I took a shower and she was already gone with Jim to go to pick her cousin up at camp when I got out. I think Mao was trying to tell me that she left, because he was meowing frantically outside of the bathroom. Thomas went to work at 11 and did not get off until 8.

I fertilized the garden in the morning and then went shopping for Jacob's birthday gift at Barnes & Noble. After that I came home and watched some TV with Doug and then we went to Sam's to get the chicken wings for today. We had supper when Thomas got home. The cheap boxed scalloped potatoes aren't bad when you add ham and extra cheese. After supper, Thomas treated us to Wendy's Frosties. Tasty and cold. Thanks Thomas!

Friday Update

I must say, the new panel on your blog is outstanding Doug. It cracked me up.

Not much else to say. I'm glad it is Friday, it has been a long week at work.

Really cool picture. Be sure to scroll all the way down.
