Seamus Moves to Yukon

I've had the little man (Seamus) this week. I am so proud of him! Buying this house has made all the difference - no pee-ing in my car, on my bed or running around the house crying while carrying his baby running from room to room. He loves my backyard and it's next to impossible to get him to come in. Monday was horrible for me because he is quite capable of jumping the fence, I was so stressed out worrying that he'd figure that out. So, I came home at lunch and found him asleep by the gate. I am so glad that he hasn't figured out that he can jump!

On the TV front, yeah Chip and Kim - enough said! Colin, I fear, is the next Scot Peterson.

Work has been nuts but hey, that's the norm. Around 4:15 I filled my coffee cup again, if that tells you anything. If my printer doesn't deliver my business cards soon, I fear there will be a revolt! I rarely go 4 hours without someone calling asking if their cards are in. I realize it has taken a very long time but what I want to know is if they are less of a person without cards? Do business card make you a real person or something? Aaarrggg! It's not my fault 3 printers refused to do the printing before I found someone that would!

Shaken Not Stirred

Okay, let's get it over with....I drove into the frigerator! Done laughing? The poor thing just rocked back and forth and every thing inside was thrown all over the place. Okay, you can stop laughing now.

I got two used books in the mail today - woo hoo! RF Delderfield is my favorite author and I found these two books on Amazon.com used book section, since most of his books are no longer in print. One of these books, I didn't even know existed. I thought I'd found a good list of his books but it didn't include Stop the Winner. It's always like Christmas when I get books in the mail. Hey, Friend Shana, it may be a book for you too - only 298 pages, unlike his normal 1,200 (just teasing).

Work has been an unbelievable week of heavy lifting. Last Wednesday, we moved Co-worker T into our suite of offices and moved the mail room into his former office. Then on Thursday, I received more than 20,000 permanent record folders that I had to count out and organize (students across OKC are cursing my name now). To top things off, 11,000 student parent handbooks were delivered, again I began tossing boxes and counting books. By Friday I will look like Xena Warrior Princess!

On the world scene, I about panicked when I heard that idiot in North Korea blew something up that caused a mushroom cloud - remember my Army Nephew is in South Korea. How do such evil people get in positions of power? It's beyond me....to tired to ponder that anymore. Also, how about that KGB Russian President wanting to take away elected positions in towns and cities and make them appointed positions? Does anyone see a little Stalin in the making? When he reconstructs the gulags or begin purges again - be afraid!

Enough for now.

The Sloth Has To Go Back To Work

(whimper) It's Monday night and the thought of going to work tomorrow is just dreadful! I did absolutely nothing of import this weekend and it felt good! I didn't realize that one could lay on the couch so much but I proved it possible.

I enjoyed the OU - Bowling Green game. It's good that football is back. Our offense looked good but I felt the defense lack a little. I'll reserve judgment for later in the season. Go Sooners.

Okay, knew it would happen...I closed the new garage door on the back of my car, thankfully that protection piece where when it hits something it goes back up protected my paint job. Before you roll out of your chair laughing at me, you need to understand that my itty bitty car barely fits in the garage. I wanted to leave some room near the washer so that I wouldn't have to squeeze. I guess I left a little too much room. Oh well, I warned everyone.

My political news watch was supplanted by Hurricane Frances. Living in tornado alley doesn't seem so bad after all. I do feel for all the Floridians especially now that Hurricane Ivan is headed their way.

As Arnold Says "I am a Republican"

As I sit here listening to Dick Chaney speak and reflecting on the conversation I just had with my Army nephew, I can't understand how anyone can vote for the Flip Flopper aka John Kerry. My nephew is just now able to vote, 19 years old, and is terrified that Kerry will be elected. He said "if he wins, I am so screwed." I tried to dispell his fear by saying that the Republican Congress will negate Kerry's stupidity, but I too worry for him, as a military person.

At 19 years old, I didn't give a rip who was up for election. I didn't vote until the first Bush re-election campaign. Kerry has cause my 19 year old to actively watch a political campaign. Something's wrong there.

This year my vote for Bush is in honor of my late uncle who did fight in the Vietnam War and never betrayed his fellow solders and my young Army Nephew, the future of America's defense.

Did anyone hear Zell's speech? Wow! He really lit into Kerry - good for him! Stand up for your family and Nation! Four more years! Four more years! Four more years!

Enough for now!
