Friday, Saturday & Sunday, 12th, 13th & 14th of August 2011

MY BIRTHDAY WEEKEND........

Can I just say I'm not getting older, I'm getting better. What a fabulous weekend I've had. I love my husband, he'd the bestest husband in the Universe. He'd not only a great husband, he's my best friend and in my opinion a wonderful lover. So let me tell you what I've done this weekend.

Friday.....

Slept in a bit, lol, till 8:30. Got up and lazed around for a bit, did some stuff on FB and made my plans for the day. My daddy called me to wish me happy birthday and to see if I was working, he and my step mom, Debbie were coming out to Weatherford and wanted to take me to lunch. So I adjusted my schedule, cause I needed to go to Walmart, the dry cleaners and Albertson's. They wanted to meet around 12:30 at Yesterday's Sandwich shop down off the square. Got dressed and headed into Weatherford. Did my shopping at Walmart, swung into the cleaners and picked up the cleaning and headed to Yesterday's. I didn't know they moved to a larger building a block down. I went in and Dad & Debbie weren't there, so I called and said "Where are you?" "We're at Yesterday's" "Where at?" "In the middle of the room" "No you aren't I'm standing in the middle of the room and you aren't here"

So I'm looking around, "Dad, where are ya'll, where did you park" "We're at Yesterday's right on North Main" thinking that they were at a totally different location. Then I start to think "hmmm, I start looking around, they have an optical illusion, I looked to the back of the building and realized that it wasn't a mirror, as I was about to leave, I tell Dad "you're on the other end of the building, I bet it goes all the way through" Sure enough I walk to the back which is the middle of the building and there was a whole other room with smaller tables and chairs like for an old ice cream parlor. LOL. After talking to Dad & Debbie they thought it was a mirror or kitchen, not realizing it goes all the way through also. As I sat there I realized it used to be one of the antique shops in town, wonder what they did with all the antiques???

We had a nice lunch and visit, great chicken salad and tortilla soup(yes even on a hot day) LOL. After lunch and we went our separate ways I headed to Albertson's to grab a couple of things, mostly my apples then home. Once I got home we unloaded the truck and put away the groceries. Had an argument with my hubby. Which I felt bad about. Hung out around the house the rest of the afternoon till we needed to get ready for our evening out with friends in Arlington. We left the house close to 7 and when we got past the 20/30 split we were driving in the rain. For those of you who may not know(and how you wouldn't surprises me) but we in the state of Texas had not had rain in like 2 months, we are in definite drought status. So to see the rain was such a blessing. I told Robert why can't it be pouring like this over at the house. We stayed in the rain just after the Matlock exit in Benbrook and then just as we got past the bridge at Bryant-Irving the wind was blowing so hard we hit a dust storm from all the construction. Literally wet to dry in the blink of an eye.

We met our friends at Dave & Buster's, never been. Not a bad place, pretty good food, we sat and visited for a while, ate some dinner and then decided to hit the game room. Rene's favorite game is the Deal or No Deal game so that's were we went. She played a round and did ok, then I played a round and again just ok, the third person played, ok, then Jay, Rene's boyfriend played and did pretty good. Then once it got back around to me, I played all the way to the end & I had the winning case with the $500 in it, the machine starts spitting out the tickets(2 pts each) and it keeps going and going, lol, 250 tickets. One of the other guys plays next and he and I both pick the same number for the case and he wins another $500. Jay is freaking out now, "No way". lol I play again and once again $500 and this machine is spitting out these tickets and Jay is freaking out, "We play this game all the time and I've never seen anyone win this much, ever, much less 3 times" LOL, he pulls a dollar out of his pocket and hands it to me and says on your way home buy a lotto ticket, SERIOUSLY, I'll split it with you if you win. LOL What's funny is I told them all I don't gamble cause I never win, I'm such a loser when it comes to gambling that even when we were on our cruise last year Robert and I had gone to the casino and I wanted to play black jack and I was the only player at the table and I was loosing. Of course we all had a lot of fun and laughs, we played a few other games to burn off the money on the game card and Rene cashed in all the tickets, I gave her all of mine, since it was her money we'd been playing with any way and I didn't need any of the prizes they had to offer. LOL

We headed on home and when we got there we'd gotten some rain, Robert checked the gauge and we had gotten about 1/4 of an inch of course the rain cooled things down a lot, it was nice. We hit the sack just after midnight and crashed for the night.

Saturday....

Woke up around 8 and it was still dark out, found out it was still raining and over cast, yeah. Great birthday present. Robert heads to the living room and there sits one of our daughters, he'd walked out in his underwear, thank heaven's he wasn't naked, he comes back to the bedroom and says one of the girls is here, good thing I had something on. LOL, I getting dressed and when I got to the living room there sits Niki, not the daughter I expected. LOL

She'd come over to talk to daddy about her car, she has a mustang and the same thing that happened with Steph's car happened to her's. The seal for the gas tank and the tube that you put the gas into the tank had broken and wanted to know what part she needed to get from the dealership. We hung out for a bit and visited and that's when Robert spilt the beans on what he had planned for me for the day. He had told me the day before to keep my afternoon open for Saturday, we'd need to leave by noon and he'd have me home in time to get ready for our evening out. He tells me we're going to Zero Gravity in Dallas and Glen & La Rue are going with us cause Glen will probably be my activity buddy. I hate to call them rides but for lack of a better word that's what I'll call them. LOL

So at noon we head to Azle to pick up Glen & La Rue and head to Dallas. We get to Zero Gravity and wow, they have 5 different rides and they are wild. Robert told me I was getting the whole package, all 5 rides, a t-shirt and a video of all of it. LOL

Glen and I started off with The Blastoff - their discription is a giant slingshot that shoots you 150 feet into the air, zero to 70 in 1.2 seconds. All I can say is WOW, it was the first one we rode and it's probably a good thing it was the scariest of all. As you sling shot into the air there's a point when the bungee's are slack you feel like you are going to travel forever then it snaps you back and starts to spin and up you go again. Get's the adrenaline really flowing. LOL

Our second trip was to bungee jump, thinking it would be the easiest of all, NOT. LOL I walk out to the edge and the guy counts three, two, one jump, "hmmm, no" three two one jump, no again. Glen says go off backwards, so I ask the guy, can I? He says sure just step over the rope as you turn. So I turned around and again three two one jump and at about 5 lol I sat backwards and off I went. Our minds are not wired to let us fall forward, my heart was pounding so hard as I stood out there facing forward looking down at Robert & La Rue 7 stories below. Turning around backward much easier. Glen on the other hand - literal swan dive off the platform, just like he was diving off a diving board. Definate style.

Next we went to the skycoaster, we kept calling it the superman ride. You fly like superman. The crane takes you up 110 feet in the air and I pulled the ripcord and flying off we went, WOW it was totally awesome, just like being on a giant swing. Ever lay on a swing when you were a kid it's pretty much the same but on a way larger scale. lol.

When we got there we were told that the skyscrapper was not working so we could ride something twice however they got it running. Yeah, the one I really wanted to ride more than any of the others. But our next ride was Nothing But Net. This one takes you up 16 stories up and you sit back into your sling and are lowered below the platform and then the operator pulls the pin and you drop. Amazing, landing into a net, just like a trapeze artist.

Lastly we rode the skyscrapper, yee haw, that was fantastic, 165 feet up into the air. I called it a ferris wheel on steroids. Absolutely the best. After we were done I went to pick out my t-shirt and wait for them to burn my disc and the girls tells me they have bad news, the first ride we went on the video didn't record or something it just wasn't there. So we'd have to ride it again if we wanted. LOL. Well ok, so we rode the slingshot again to get it on record. They thought they had it fixed, apparently it showed it was recording but nothing was there. So we still didn't get a recording of that ride. They said they'd go ahead and put the two singles of Glen from the Bungee & the Nothing but Net on there to make up for it.

Once we got home and played the disc it still didn't have everything there, they didn't have any thing from the superman ride so I called them, the girl who was there earlier was gone, the girl I talked to said "oh just bring it back and we'll fix it" I told her "we live an hour away, I can't just bring it back". so we worked it out that I'd send it back to them and they'll fix it all. So sometime this week I'll send it over, I'll also call and talk to the manager.

We got home around 4:30 and had about an hour to get ready for the night. We had dinner reservations at Terra's (a mediterranean grill) at 6:30. Cindy, Thersia, Glen & La Rue, Kelley & Kim, Penny & Raul and Robert & I had a wonderful evening and dinner. The food there is excellent as was the service. We left around 8:30 and headed to the Hulen area to Main Event to play. I wanted to play laser tag. Glen & I played laser tag and rode their little 2 minute topsy turvy ride. We played some games, Robert drove cars and airplanes lol, we just hung out and had a great time. Everyone was tired from a long day though and Cindy, Thersia, Robert and I were the last to leave and my baby and I were home by 11. His back had been bothering him all day and by the evening it wasn't great so getting home at 11 was good, he got into bed not long after we got home and got some good sleep.

Robert got up around 8 this morning and I woke up but wasn't ready to get up so I went back to sleep till about 9:30. Got up and had a lazy morning. Robert was mowing the yard since we have been watering but he hasn't mowed in probably a month cause it's been so dry there hasn't been much growth, not like if we'd been getting rain.

Around 11 Robert cleaned the kitchen and got the meat ready and the smoker to smoke it. After that he ran to Walmart. I vacuumed and cleaned the kitchen table off and started working on the fruit & veggie trays. We had invited a bunch of people over to celebrate MY BIRTHDAY. Everyone was to come over around 4. Niki & Randy were the first to show up and she started helping me finish up my trays. Stephanie came in next and while I was getting dressed Glen and La Rue showed up. Finishing up some things in the kitchen and Cindy came in, then Thersia, Scotty & Dakota arrived. Amanda and Jason were next and we lined up to fix our plates. As we started eating Dad & Debbie finally arrived and they brought all the fixins for homemade strawberry ice cream. We ate dinner, I showed off my video from yesterday and we showed off the trailer to those who hadn't seen it. The girls got creative with the candles on my cake and we had cake, ice cream and I got to open my cards and gifts.

All in all I had a terrificly, fantasticly, wonderfully, exciting birthday. Thanks to all for everything. I've enjoyed my weekend, oh it will continue tomorrow night with Amanda taking me to see The Help.

Good Night all, God Bless and have a wonderful week.

Wednesday & Thursday, 10th & 11th of August 2011

Wednesday, not a bad day. typical stuff at work, employees coming in to do computer work, a couple of PAR tests. Helped with the lunch rush. Did some paper work. All in all just another day at work. I got home around 4 and chilled out for the evening. Not a very exciting day.

Thursday, my long day at work. Got there at 8:45 and jumped right into all the activity. Had my newest server come in at 9 to do menu's and plate presentation. Got finished just after 11 and helped with the lunch rush, while I helped Elyse(new server) did her tests over the menus. Once she was finished and the lunch died down a bit I got her stared on the micros to learn to ring in orders. We were supposed to have a visit from our new RVP and DM at 11 and they didn't show up till almost 2. It was a great visit. He was very happy with our store, a few minor things to change or fix, but all in all everything was good. I finally got to eat my lunch around 3:15 and around 3:45 Lynda joined me and we got to visit a bit. I was baby sitter again tonight, every Thursday, making sure Mani doesn't do anything to stupid. He really did aggravate me several times tonight. We had a nice dinner rush, nothing to hectic. I stayed out in the dinning room instead of the window tonight. Finished the schedule for next week and got it posted up and left work around 8:15. Oh, around 1 it got very cloudy and super windy and it even rained a bit, evaporated as it hit the ground I think but it was a little bit of a relief from the 100 plus degree weather we've had for 39/40 days straight.

Still trying to decide what I want to do Saturday to celebrate my birthday. I've had several ideas but people keep poo pooing them. I'll figure it out, hopefully tomorrow.

We watched Burn Notice and not long after Robert went to bed I watched a movie called Carriers and now I'm watching Fiddler on the Roof. I love this movie. What's strange is I've seen this movie many many times since I was a kid and tonight it has me in tears. I don't know why. Oh well.

Gonna enjoy my birthday weekend, I don't have to work and Robert is off tomorrow also. We'll do something fun I hope.

God Bless and keep you all.

Sunday, Monday & Tuesday; 7th, 8th & 9th of August 2011

Wow, well let's just say that I've been busy. LOL. Worked all weekend. Sunday worked 9 to 2 and it was a busy day at the crack house. All ran smoothly for the most part, 1 complaint but nothing I couldn't handle. Got home around 2:20 and changed clothes then checked when the new Ape movie was gonna be showing. Robert and I went to see The Rise of the Planet of the Apes at 4 at Weatherford Citylights theater. It was good, loved that they showed Charlton Heston in a bit piece on the tv and that they used his famous get your paws off me line. Don't think it's over as soon as they start the credits. Definite set up for a sequel. After the movie we headed home and vegged for the rest of the night.

Monday got up way early and headed to Arlington for the big meeting. Got to met the RVP, Charlie Austin, I'm gonna love this guy I think, he's all about keeping with company standard and I can't wait for him to get into our store. We had All the GM's and ETC's for the Southwest region I guess, we had all the stores from Oklahoma, Lubbock, Amarillo, Arkansas, Midland and all the stores from around the metroplex. We started at 9 and didn't finish until 3. Some training on a new roll out. A little big of tweaking of the Seat to Eat program. Got home around 4:30. Robert and I just once again chilled, watching tv, playing on our laptops.

Tuesday, got to work 8:15, was supposed to have orientation, she didn't show. Called and left a message never heard from her. Oh well. I checked all the snagajobs and printed them, called them and asked them to come in and fill out CB applications. Set up 3 for interviews, hired one, 2 were first interviews, set one up for a second. Our little bit of a pop I kept an eye on the window. Got caught up on some of my paper work, only some, still have a ton to do but will get there. After the lunch rush was over and people were being cut I had them in my office catching up on their courses and taking PAR tests. Tested 5 people today. Once I got them all done I got to leave around 4:15 and headed home. Robert gave me a wonderful back rub after I got home, I felt like jello when he was done. Got up and fixed myself some dinner, left over smoked hamburger with sauteed mushrooms & onions on a grilled bun. It was good. Watched some of my recorded tv before America's Got Talent came on and just finished watching that. Some good acts, started off a little slow, loved the first group then the next two were ok, the little girls WOW, when she's a bit older she will be a firecracker. Loved Gymkana and the bicycle guy. Fantastic.

So there ya have my last 3 days. Not really alot to tell. Tomorrow is my mommy's birthday. I gotta remember to call.

God Bless you all and stay safe in this heat. Wow like 1980 all over again.

Friday & Saturday, 5th & 6th of August 2011

Friday, what a long day! Got to work at 8 and didn't leave until 8. Busy. Had orientation with what was to be 4 people, found out one took another job and would be there. Started with 3 and the one we really needed to work for us, a grill cook, we had to have him leave. Poor guy, had a misdemeanor and thought that he wasn't on his record due to time served so he put no one the ap and when we did the back ground check it came back a no for hire due to falsification of application. The only recourse is he'll have to wait till January to re-apply and by then it should be off his record. I found out that he'd applied back at the end of May and I had already run a check on him around the 3rd of June. So the company we use if they've done a check with in a 6 month period they don't run it again. My thought was that we probably ran that check like one day before they were to remove it from his record. So I ended up with orientation with a server and a new dish guy. Got them through the video's and into the system. While they watched video's I got in the window and helped cause we had a great lunch rush. After the videos and they signed all their paperwork I got them out of the building and finished getting them into the system. Got to have some lunch around 2:30 or tried to anyway. Had to cook some of it myself and then the fish had to be redone cause the cook couldn't read the ticket and cooked me the catfish when I ordered the cod. God please send us a couple of great, seasoned, knows what they are doing Grill cooks, we are desperate. At 3 I clocked over to shift leader, why I had to SL last night I'll never understand. It was me, Shawn and Mani. Shawn had the back of the house, Mani was supposed to have the front of the house and I had the window. The 3 cooks I had last night are the worst, they have such cocky attitudes and irritate me to no end. Mouthy little punks for the most part, disrespectful. I really hate being there when they are because they get away with anything, managers do not hold them accountable for anything. I will be having a long conversation with Mike on Monday. We had a little bit of a slam and Mani got right in the middle of where I was working and totally screwed the window. Thank heavens he didn't stay long but he's really fairly useless. He's better at telling tall tales and shmoozing the guests. 8:00 couldn't come fast enough for me. Once I left work, I called Lynda to vent and got home around 8:20 or so.

We just hung out and again watched tv, when I got home Robert had smoked some BBQ ribs, which were yummy. Got to bed around 12:30 cause I had to get up early for work this morning.

Got up around 7:30, got a shower, took forever to get my hair fixed, major tangles after shampooing. Got ready and headed to the barrel. Another busy day, this time I ran the dinning room, Fred had the window and Shawn had the back of the house. I had two RS hostesses training with Maria and Amanda and myself. We had two very good hours, one almost 1000 the second just over 1100. Lots of large groups. Did fairly well today. Hopefully we can do the same thing tomorrow but busier.

So I left work at 2 and called Robert he said we didn't have any mushrooms wanted me to stop and get some since he'd smoked some hamburgers for dinner with the kids to celebrate the twins birthday belatedly. Ran to Albertson's bought some apples, mushrooms, limes(cause they were 8 for $1.00) and sliced cheese. Got home to wonderful aroma's emanating from the house. Smoked burgers and home made mac & cheese. All 3 of the girls were here and Randy and about 5 minutes after I got home Mary Lou showed up. We had a great dinner and then we did ice cream cake with the girls, funny because the candle kept blowing out and I tried to turn the ceiling fan off then Robert held up the lighter to re light and it kept going out and then he got it lit and then the girls blew the lighter out instead of the candle. It was funny.

After we ate us girls decided to play boggle, we haven't played boggle together in a couple of years so it was alot of fun. Niki & Randy left around 5 / 5:30 some where in there, Stephanie went to watch recorded tv and Amanda, Mary Lou and I played till about 6:15, Justin called and needed to talk to Robert so they chatted for a bit then I wanted to talk to him to wish him & Audrey happy anniversary, they were driving home so I chatted with him a bit and then with Audrey and when she found out that Mary Lou was here at the house they wanted to talk to her since they didn't talk to her on her birthday. They talked to her for a while and then when I got back on the phone with them they'd made it home and my card was there waiting on them. Yeah, since they had plans to go to dinner tonight. Got to talk to Kali for a little bit, she's so cute and funny. Mary Lou left while I was finishing my conversation with Justin. Amanda hung out a little longer then she left just before 7, Steph was still in the bedroom and she finally left around 8. We watched the family night movie on NBC it was pretty good. Killed time with the news and now we're watching How do you know. It's fairly funny.

So that's been my last two days. Ya'll have a great weekend. God Bless

Wednesday & Thursday, 3rd & 4th of August 2011

Wednesday, a very busy day at work for me. I got to work at 8 and started right away, Fred had a few interviews and Tina had one, we hired 3 and I set them up for orientation for Friday, since it will be my 12 hour day instead of the usual Thursday. One we hired for Dish and since we need an extra pair of hands in dish for the weekend I needed to get him in the system before close of business Friday. So I figured since I already had one person in class I'd place the other 2 there as well. We hired another server and a lady for retail. Fred was the opening manager and Mani was the closer. Since Fred had opened and needed to be back for truck on Thursday before 5 AM I offered to do the Rising Star Meeting since Mike doesn't want Mani doing them. I had 2 Rising Stars (that had been in orientation on Monday) come in to do their computer work. David the new guy for retail , Tina had him observe with Peggy for a couple of hours. Had Alexa come in to do her over due courses, Cody finished his courses and Trisha came in and got her PAR 1 test done. So I was in between my office and the main office and back up to the server alley helping with the window, then back to my office. I was all over the place. I finally got to eat lunch around 2:30 and then all my Rising Stars arrived for the meeting. Had 11 for the meeting. Oh and before 2:30 I managed to get the schedule finished on my part. I left work just after 5 and headed on home. We had a quite evening just watching our shows.

Thursday I took the day off so that I'd have a break and not have to work 12 days straight. Didn't sleep well through out the night, to hot, major hot flashes and I thought I was done. I spoke to soon when I told the dr I thought I was on the down side of menopause. Apparently NOT. Ugh. I woke up around 3 something again just before 5, then three times between 5 & 5:30 because Robert was still in bed and I was afraid he would over sleep, not sure what time he had his alarm set for. He finally got up around 5:30 and got ready for work and I was able to go back to sleep, I did wake up around 7:30 and finally got up about 8. I was going to go to the store early but got involved in a movie and didn't leave the house until almost 11. Went to Rosa's for lunch then to Walmart where I printed some picture collages to send to my Aunt, my Mom and my son. It was our 5 generation pictures that we took in May at my great Aunt's. I made one up for Pat that had pictures of her with Edna, her with my Mom her sister, her with Justin my son and her with Kali. I know she'll absolutely love it. I made one up for my Mom for her birthday this next week with pictures of Kali, the group picture of all of us and the picture of all 5 generations, Edna, Mom, me, Justin and Kalli. Then I made up another of mostly Kali, Kali and me and the group picture to send to Justin & Audrey for their anniversary Saturday. Got their cards and my groceries, checked out and loaded up the truck. While it was cooling off I signed the cards and put the pictures and cards into the photo envelopes, addressed and ready to take to the post office. Headed that away and got the 3 mailed off then headed home to put away the groceries. I got home around 3 and Robert got home about 4:15 and we had about an hour until Mary Lou was to arrive. Robert and I were taking her to dinner at La Choza's for dinner for her birthday since we didn't get to see her on her birthday. She got to the house around 5:30 and we loaded up and took her down the road to the restaurant. We had a very nice visit and as always a wonderful dinner. After dinner we came back to the house and continued our visit. She left and head to her home around 8:30 and then Robert and I watched Burn Notice. Finished that up around 9:30 and just killed time watching Fox 4 news. Oh when we got home from La Choza's I had 3 large boxes sitting on the front porch, I'd been hoping to get them today and when they weren't here before we left I really thought I wouldn't get them. But my pampered chef order finally arrived, so after Mary Lou had left and we watched Burn Notice I unpacked it and separated it into each individuals order. Only one thing missing and that was my pineapple wedger. There was only one in the box and should have been two, someone else had ordered one as well. Once I got everyone elses bagged up then I opened all of mine, Robert says why are you doing that and I said because it's all ours. I had $240 to spend on PC. Of course I did spend a bit, but most of what I got was in the FREE zone. Yeah me. Once I got it all unpacked I loaded a good bit of it into the dishwasher. So there ya have it. Once the dishwasher was done I unloaded and loaded it again. Got my laundry into the wash and watching Much ado about nothing, Great movie.

Ya'll have a great weekend cause I have to work, ugh. Till next time, God Bless

Monday & Tuesday, 1st & 2nd of August 2011

The beginning of a new month. This is my birthday month. Woo who.

Monday I had orientation with 3 newbies, 2 hosts & a retail. Nice group of kids and I can say that cause the oldest was the same age as my oldest. LOL Got them through day one and I left a bit after 2 and went to Walmart cause I was close to empty. LOL. I did buy a couple of 18 gallon totes that were on sale for $4.88. Got home just seconds behind Robert and when we walked in the door you could still smell the wonderful aroma of fajita from the night before. I said that was because he smoked the house up so bad when he cooked them. LOL

It was around 3:30 when we both got home and we got out of our work clothes and I laid across the bed and believe it or not I crashed. I took a 3 hour nap. Robert woke me up just before 7 so I could watch my shows and still be able to get to bed at a decent time.

Watched Eureka(it was funny last night), The Closer (love Brenda - wished it wasn't the last season) then we watched Rizzoli & Isles. After the news and Robert went to bed I watched Alphas and Warehouse 13(another funny show). Got into bed around 12:45.

Got up this morning around 6:30, got a shower and ready for work, started watching the finale of The Bachelorette, I've said all along it would be JP but after the visits with her family I started leaning toward Ben and then she did go with JP. Poor Ben though I felt so sorry for him he just knew she would say yes. But all along I've told Niki it would end up being JP. She probably didn't want to move to California, can't say I blame her, I wouldn't want to live there if it was on a winery. And you all know how I love good wines. LOL

Got to work just after 8 and got a couple of things done before 2 of my newbies arrived to do their computer courses. Cody(new host) actually got there at 8:30 but I wasn't ready for him to get on the computer, so I told him to go and check out Retail, see what all we have.

At 9 Breanna(new host) arrived, got both her & Cody clocked in and then took them on a tour of the building and went over some key things they'll need to know as hosts. After the tour I got them on the computers and headed to help out in the window. We got slammed this morning we had alot of business between 9 and 11:30, very unusual, 3 large groups over 10 in one hour and we only had 4 servers, one grill cook, back up, prep and a dish guy. Mani was the manager on duty and then myself. Maria was hostess and we were hopping.

We finally slowed down a bit and then got another small pop around 12:30. Just after 2 I finally got to eat my lunch. Tina was just sitting down for hers as well so I joined her and we had a nice visit. Cody left just after 2 when he finished his computer work and Breanna wasn't to far behind. After lunch I had a couple things to do with new applicants, called a couple for second interviews. Ran a couple of background checks and then clocked out just after 3 and headed home. Got home around 3:30 and chilled, watched the rest of The Bachelorette and now I'm sitting in the living room watching Robert's news shows. We have O'Reilly one. Go Bill. LOL

Discussing obamacare and how we're gonna have to pay more for our insurance. Robert made an excellent point ---- if BC pills and annual check ups are gonna be "FREE" then there isn't any need to keep putting government money into planned parenthood centers any more, right? There's a budget cut right there.

I'm not a fan of Donald Trump running for President but I wouldn't have a problem with him getting our financial budget back in order. If anyone could do it I bet he could.

So there ya have it, waiting for 8:00 for America's Got Talent. Deadliest Catch finished last week.

The last day of the month. What a wonderfully relaxing day. Robert and I just hung out around the house, he got up earlier than I, I just lounged in bed for a while. LOL Robert got the chicken and beef marinading for fajita's tonight. We invited Glen & La Rue over for supper. Most the day we just did nothing. Robert did go out early and finish cementing the pot holes in the drive way. I dusted our ceiling fan and vacuumed our bed room, Stephanie finished vacuuming for me so that I could make my home made salsa and guacamole for dinner tonight. Robert and I watched The tourist - it was really good. Then we watched The next three days - I think that's what it was called, had Russell Crow in it, his wife in prison for a murder she didn't commit and he breaks her out. Good movie as well. Niki & Randy came over around 6, so did Glen & La Rue. Niki & Randy didn't join us for dinner like we thought they might. Robert & Glen were gonna do a little work on Niki's car, they got it done after we ate. She now has air conditioning in her car again. Everyone was gone by 8 and we watched Leverage and Falling Skies, the news-ugh, and then I watched True Blood. So here I sit catching you all up on my wonderfully lazy day and about to head to bed. Ya'll have a great week. God Bless
