what happened?

Just a big hubabaloo about the wedding to take place in Rome on Sat.

But as they were walking into some posh restaurant tonight for dinner, he was carrying Baby Suri. All the photographers got pictures.....and the pictures just look like he's carrying a doll and she has nothing to do with it. I can't explain it. Seems like they were trying to make sure she didn't mess up her outfit or something. I don't know...just looked odd..

Congrats! Now you can order "The Life and Habitat of the Armadillo" too!

Already done that...just printed the receipt from Amazon...it gets here next week! And, because I ordered today I get the free Crustless Cookbook for Dummies book...I'm on a roll!!

Soooo....psyched!

Had a talk with my boss last week about finances (haven't gotten a raise since I started with the company April 2005. He said he had to talk to his partners and see what they could do...last week he threw numbers at me; one of those, "I'll believe it when I see it" things...

He sat me down today and confirmed that a raise was coming my way. I figured 1 buck an hour or so "because of finances, we can only offer..." with more to come later....but no, I got a HUGE increase, (works out to about 17%)...! Wooo HOOO!!! Effective next weeks pay!

That will pay off the last few payments on my Wildlife of Missouri series and the books are now MINE, all 1001 books in the set!! And, And! I can pay off that photographer guy who snapped those pictures, with the ..umm... ooh well...no more problems with him.

And a good way to start the pre-weekend off with!

Great news!!

So what do you guys think of the TomKat wedding? And why would Tom hold the baby? Did anyone else find this odd?

Why wouldn't he hold the baby....he paid for her!

 

[GoofyforGoofy]

Great news!!

Yes, it is!! Now, if I can just convince DW to let me have some of it...

Does your Santa wrap?

Santa always wraps ours and takes too much time doing it

Maybe Volume 1001 will help you identify "the thing".....

Can I get a hint?? Page number please....

Then again, are you sure that thing has even been documented yet?

Did you spring for the deluxe edition with the DVD?

You make a good point. There are some dark and scary areas in Nathan's bathroom that I try to avoid. Maybe it came from there....

OK....I will give you a hint. Look under the letter 'G'.

I had a great afternoon at work too! I got a new boss (my second line supervisor), met with him and first line supervisor today and he is SO AWESOME!! Oh my, he is just what this medical center needed. He wants everyone to understand what a veteran is (whoa, imagine that in a VA hospital!!), communication both with staff and patients is a priority (!!!!!! Just what I have been saying for the past 8 years!) and he looked me square in the eyes and said that we advocates (there are 3 and 1/2 of us) have done a phenomenal (yes he used that word!) job! I tell you, I have not had a senior manager acknowledge the work we do in 8 years. I was absolutely giddy by the end of the meeting, as was my first line supervisor! Now I get the next week off to absorb this, and will just keep praying that the rest of senior managers don't eat him alive!
