Can you believe October is over?  Eek!

  1. I’m trying to decide which is worse:  Mouse turds on your desk or having a mouse peak at you from the pump well when you’re sitting on the toilet.  I haven’t decided which because each time I convince myself one is worse I rethink the whole scenario.
  2. Fall truly is here in full force.  The drive to work is almost dangerous because I have to remind myself to keep my eyes on the road on not looking at the beautiful colors.
  3. Does Costco sell industrial size, large quantity mouse poison boxes?
  4. Lunch is very yummy today….Chicken Corn Chowder (from a can but it’s still good).  I have yummy chicken in the crockpot at home for tonight.  :)
  5. I’m craving pizza.  I have been since Tuesday night but still haven’t had it.  I couldn’t justify calling to order pizza delivery at 9PM Tuesday night and haven’t been able to order it since.  I’m thinking I might get pizza for lunch tomorrow so I can finish it for dinner.
  6. About that mouse….  Did you see my full body shudder?
  7. My sister arrives a week from today, my nephew a week from tomorrow.  Don’t worry, he’s not flying alone my mom is coming with him.
  8. Speaking of which, I think I better work on that room this weekend.
  9. I’ve decided to attempt to toilet train the cat.  I’m almost at the “tough” part so we’ll see how this will work.  It’ll sure be nice to not have to deal with kitty litter any more.
  10. I need to find some Clorox wipes to disinfect my desk.  I don’t want to get Hanta Virus, food poisoning this weekend was bad enough.

Yeah, it’s FRIDAY!

  1. 360 hours until the sis and nephew move in.  Which means 358 hours to get the room ready for them.
  2. Take away the above zero and you have our temperature today.  Brrrr….36 is cold.  (Especially when you stupidly leave you jacket at the office and have to go to work without, not that I did that or anything.)
  3. Mouse turds on your desk are really gross.  Don’t ask me how I know, just know it’s gross.
  4. I randomly decided to take the Quickbooks User certification test Wednesday.  I’m smart and passed it with flying colors so I’m now a Certified QuickBooks User.  Should I be proud?
  5. The moon told me goodnight last night.  I heard it.  (Thanks, Rider :) I like when the moon tells me good night, I love you too!)
  6. I’m irritated today.  Don’t ask me why, just know I’m irritated today.
  7. I really dislike it when other people make mistakes and I’m the one who ends up looking like the idiot.
  8. I had coffee with a friend this morning, we had a good talk and I shared some insight that I realized last night about myself.  I’m still kind of in shock that I told her.
  9. I have a meeting tonight and tomorrow morning.  I kind of don’t want to go but I have to.  Don’t tell anyone that I kind of don’t want to go, though.  LOL
  10. I’m trying to figure out some “stuff” with my business.  We’ll see what happens.

Have a good weekend!!!

So, I have some random things to share.  Or, rather, it’s Friday and I haven’t posted in a while so I’m going to post 10 Random Things for a Friday.

  1. My sister and nephew get here three weeks from tomorrow.  Their bedroom isn’t ready yet and I’m struggling with getting it ready.
  2. Tonight is slumber party night, only my slumber party guest fell asleep at 7PM.  Luckily I was able to wake her up because what’s a slumber party if the guest of honor is asleep.
  3. Cheese French Fries are best eaten with a favorite niece.  LOL  I took Ally to Applebees a few months ago and she tried a mozzarella sticks.  I didn’t know what to call them so she’d try them so cheese french fries it was….she ate three tonight AND her macaroni and cheese.  LOL
  4. Gold really is best, at least according to a four year old.  I took Ally (yes, it’s an Ally day) to Claires to buy her some earrings for when she can take the studs out.  Of course, I was planning on spending about $5.  No, she had to have the 14K gold ones because “I love gold”.   Dude, how do you even know what gold is?!?!?!?  Good luck to her Daddy.  LOL
  5. I signed a new client today.  WooHoo.  We get started the beginning of next month but still, WOOHOO!
  6. I’m already dreading tomorrow morning when the guest of honor wakes up…she seems to think early is a good time to wake up.
  7. I never realized how difficult it can be to take a 4 year old to the “movie store” (aka Blockbuster). They have way too many choices of movies I really DON’T want to watch.  But, sucker that I am we ended up with “The Last Unicorn” and “Barbie in the 12 Dancing Princesses”.  Do I get an award or something?
  8. I started in a new home group a few weeks ago and last Saturday we started a new women’s group.  I’m absolutely LOVING both.  It took long enough but I think I finally have a group I am going to love.
  9. I started an online Bible study this week.  It’s really good, for the most part (meaning the last two days talked a lot about being a wife and the role of a wife but…).  Anyways, if you want to check it out it’s True Woman: Now is the Time.
  10. Tomorrow is stamp club.  WooHoo.  I need to find and bring my paper cutter.  I say find because it’s one of the things that has been “stored” to clear out the spare room for Tami & Rider so I need to find where I “stored” it.

OK, it’s almost time to turn off the Barbie movie so the early to rise kid can get some sleep tonight.

It’s Friday again.  First, I need to share this story that someone shared with me.   My first response was, oh my goodness.  My second thoughts was OH MY GOODNESS! it’s in an UK paper.  Yeah, the US is so smart.

Now, on to our regularly scheduled programing.

  1. Did you know that Voila is how you spell that work that sounds like whalla.  Yeah, I didn’t either because I don’t speak French.
  2. I lost three pounds this week ~^*^~ <== that would be my happy dance.  LOL
  3. I guess my sister and nephew will be moving here around November 9th.  When I say here, I mean HERE as in my place.
  4. I’m keeping my eyes open for a bigger place.  (You did read #3, right?) I just keep going back and forth as to whether I want to buy or rent.  I’m leaning towards renting.
  5. The fair is going on right now.  I might go tomorrow but don’t really know.
  6. It’s been so cold this week.  Last weekend was so hot.  Now it’s cold.  I’ve been wearing sweatshirts most days and had to find my umbrella.
  7. I cleaned my office this week.  OK, maybe cleaned isn’t the right word, I sorted and organized, kind of.  OK, you can see the floor and my desk has room to work on it again.
  8. I think I’m going to eat leftover pizza for dinner tonight.  Maybe, I also took some beef out to make beef rolls but I might do that tomorrow instead.  Too many decisions.
  9. Many of you know my really good friend Carolyn.  Well she made a super cool announcement this week that knocked my socks off.  Seriously, you have to read her news and send her congrats.  (Yes, that’s random but I keep opening that page and rereading her news because I’m so excited for her!)
  10. It’s Friday, I kind of want to take an early weekend but the work is calling so….

Have a great one!

It’s FRIDAY!  Woohoo!

  1. It’s going to be hot today, in fact, it’s already hot and it’s barely 10AM.  I don’t like HOT.
  2. The cat is doing really well.  He’s learned to let me sleep at night and occupies himself during the day when I’m trying to work.  He loves his throne and likes being by me but is OK with not being ON me.  :)   WooHoo!
  3. Did I mention it’s hot?
  4. My plants look like crap.  The heat is really destroying them and they look like I lost my green thumb. I’m so upset, I love my plants and now I have a bunch of scraggly looking things all over my front porch.
  5. People are annoying me today.  Other people are screwing things up for me and making things not work out like they should.  I’ll get through it, they are just annoying me.
  6. Last weekend I made some cool hair clips and when I showed some people I got a bunch of orders for them.  I’m excited.  I need to work on perfecting the design a little bit because I need to take it up a small notch to get the price I want for them.  But, I’m super excited.
  7. I also designed a pretty cool new product and had an awesome friend do a more professional design.  As soon as I get the raw material too her she’s going to work up a prototype to go to the test phase.  I already have orders for that if I can get the final design worked out and produced.
  8. It’s Friday and I have no plans for the weekend other than babysitting a friend’s kids.  This sucks.  I hate having no weekend plans, I usually end up sitting at home when that happens.
  9. My sister thinks she and my nephew might be moving up here.  If she does she’ll be living with me for a while while she gets settled.  Which means I need a bigger place.  Guess that’s one way to get away from the annoying upstairs neighbor.
  10. Did I mention that is HOT!?!

Have a great weekend!  :)

It’s Friday.  Yes, I know it’s been a LONG time since I’ve posted any randomness so…

  1. Jeeves is learning to stay on his throne (aka the chair next to my desk) and let me work (most of the time).
  2. I have a friend coming by this evening and I’m cooking dinner.  We haven’t hung out in a while so I’m excited.
  3. My flowers outside are gorgeous.  :)   I love the warm weather and watching them grow.
  4. Someone (OK, a few people) at one of the organizations I belong to is irritating me.  They want to change things that DON’T need to be changed (as in dumbing down a good thing to make it “easier”).
  5. I have some movies I need to return.  I’ve had them too long…I should have mailed them back but keep forgetting.  I’ll take them to blockbuster today and get new ones.
  6. I’m really getting annoyed that I can’t perfect my iced coffee recipe but something isn’t right.  :(   Today’s version is passable, but last week’s version was passable too.  But, at 50 calories a glass I HAVE to perfect it.
  7. I just finished authorizing the transfers for all my domain names.  That was a chore.
  8. I just heated up my lunch.  It doesn’t look all that great but it tastes OK.  Now if Jeeves would just keep his nose (literally) out of it.
  9. I’m trying really hard to concentrate on work today but it’s FRIDAY and I keep get distracted.
  10. I went to a new (to me) bakery in town yesterday for lunch and brought home a sticky roll.  It’s DELICIOUS and I want more of it right now but am going to hold out since I cut it into thirds and the last piece has to wait until tomorrow.
