Mini post...

So busy at work and at home! David is doing so well in school and things are wrapping up in the semester. The calm before the storm.

We are plowing ahead with the client holiday party at work... it takes up so much time... and space in my inbox, wading through RSVPs. Sigh.

A dear woman, Beverly Koonce, passed away on Sunday. She was a woman God, classy and generous to the core. Too often it seems we must say goodbye to dear sweet people.

Like a freight train....

It is two weeks till Thanksgiving people. The Holidays are upon us...

*I have a teeny tiny Christmas tree at my desk. (It is seriously tiny, like 3 1/2 inches) Everyone loves it!
*Our Thanksgiving Luncheon is next week! Yes people you better get ready.
*I do NOT have my Thanksgiving decor out yet. I know. Slacker.
*I have not started Christmas anything for my personal life. Getting a little stressed out. eeeek!
*Invitations go out next week for the holiday party at work. Busy Busy with preparations.

I need to get crackalackin'.

Vets, Mac and a Stinky Fridge....

Things have been busy at work this past week... (not that I write these on their time)

:: It is Veterans Day today. This is the first year that I have had a veteran husband. He got a little excited about having a holiday. I called him a lazy bum. (jokingly) He said "I am not a bum! I don't beg people for money." "Yes you do. Every Tuesday and Thursday." David's part time job is at the call center for U of H. So if you are an alum... watch out. David is a top caller, he will get your money. :)

But seriously. I am proud of our armed forces doing jobs I could never do, believing in something and being willing to stake their life on it. Thanks all you vets out there.

:: Out of order but I think I should tell the stinky fridge story. It is no secret that I am the lowest rung on the to tum pole at work right now. So I get all the jobs no one else wants to tackle. That includes reformatting spreadsheets, updating and correcting the databases, fixing copiers and cleaning out the refrigerators (we have 3).

Well for the past 3 weeks the large fridge was really stinky. I cleaned it out several times to no avail. Last Friday I was voluntold to take everything out and really just get rid of everything. So I began cleaning each shelf.

I found...

*a jar of mayo from 2005, surprising considering we haven't been in this space but for a year and a half. eewww
*a liquefied bag of salad. American mix. The liquid was pink. :(
*THE CULPRIT! a lunchbox with a Tupperware container in a plastic sack... only to be described as disgusting, putrid, brown liquid. Yeah.

:: Little elephant Mac died last night at the Houston zoo. I had the pleasure of seeing Mac when we went in October. Poor little guy was only 2 and still considered a baby. In honor of Mac, my zoo pictures.

Mac's Mom

Another vote....

Been thinking about changing header and I can't quite decide. I will just probably do both for a while and see what gets the most response. So this is option a, what I like to call Cactus.

My weekend was pretty good. Friday night was Halloween. We had chili at my parents house, carved a pumpkin (Louie), made caramel corn and handed out candy to the little TOTs. Very sucsessful!

I saw some cute little kidos. The following are the highlighs from the night.

:: A tiny little Hulk.

:: Obama!

:: When David guessed the little girl was Hannah Montana!

:: The 18yr old pregnant girl... trick or treating... I guess for her unborn child?

And for some picture highlights...

Abbey in her hat. :)

Rigby didn't like the hat as much...

David carving the pumpkin, my design.

Louie the jack-o-lanturn!

The caramel corn me and my mom made. It was yummy!!
