Hey, congrats to those of you in the 400 Club!
Donna, you're killin' me!! It sounds like you are having a fabulous time, I'm so jealous! I mean,
happy for you, of course, yes, I'm so happy for you!!! Nothin' like riding on a pirate ship at night, is there??
2xcited - I would love to hear your very nice story. Do tell! And I see you changed your location... you naughty girl!
Cheesecake? Did someone say cheesecake? Chocolate Marble Cheesecake no less?? Pozey, you really know how to get to a bunch of girls, don'tcha? Cute kids & cheesecake.... I'm starting to not trust you.
Well it looks like my flood problems just might be over. (insert crossing fingers & toes smiley here) Came home yesterday to a patched up wall & a pile of drywall dust behind a huge industrial dryer thingy, along with an indecipherable note from my friendly neighborhood maintenance dude. Possibly said something about a condensation pipe missing a drain? Anyway, no water for a day & a half, and they even came back today to remove the dryer thingy and reconnect my clothes dryer. Yay!
Funny little work story for you guys... first of all you have to know that I am super paranoid about getting fired. My boss thinks it's hilarious how I'm always looking over my head for the axe to fall. But seriously, my luck with jobs has been almost as good as my luck with men, and you have heard a little bit about that.
So anyway... my boss sent out an email yesterday to all the top execs & copied me on it. The thing was RIDDLED with typos. Usually I proofread everything for her, but I guess she was in a hurry and boy did it show. Me, being the Spelling & Grammar Nazi that I am, felt the need to point this out to her as nicely as possible. So I start out my email with "Boss, honey, you know I adore you and you are the best boss ever. Really. E-V-E-R. But..." and then I proceed to tell her that she really needs to take the 2 seconds to run things by me before sending out to execs, it makes her look better. I got no response from her, which made me
tres nervous, but I soon forgot the whole thing.
Today Boss tells me that she read the first sentence of my reply and started to cry. She thought I was trying to tell her that I was going to quit. Considering my constant fear of falling axes, this made me feel great. Have I mentioned I love my boss?

The job, not so much. But having good people around helps a lot.
Dang, I still haven't gotten any more packing done. I fully intended to, but tonight was the last night of "Nightmares & Dreamscapes" on TNT, and I just HAD to watch. I am a huge Stephen King fan (dare I say, his #1 FAN?) even though all the movies/tv shows made from his stuff are cheesier than Pozey's famous cheesecake.
Blabber blabber blabber. Look at me go! I'll say a quick "hi" to anyone I may have missed -
HI! - and I'm going to sleep. I'll read a scary story while the lightning flashes & the thunder roars, and I am safe in my bed.
At the rate you guys go at night, I've probably missed a whole page while typing this.
