Hungry.

I usually have a Snickers bar and a Dr. Pepper for lunch. It has become a tradition. Healthy? Not so much, but yummy! Anyway, I didn't get my Snickers bar today. Some gals here at the office decided to go downtown and pick lunch up and generously offered to get me something. So I ordered a 10 inch meatball sub with every intention on eating half for lunch and then the other half for dinner tonight. Didn't happen. It's gone. Poor thing never had a chance.

Flu Shot.

I got a flu shot yesterday. I've gotten one every year since I was in high school and I don't recall ever getting the flu. My arm is sore though. I guess I'd rather have one day of sore arm than a week or more of flu. From what I hear it's not very much fun.

Lemon Cake.

I usually snub lemon cake, but someone at work brought one in today and for some reason I thought I’d try it. It was really good! I had two pieces. It makes me wonder what else I might like if I actually tried new things more often.

It's fun playing Amish.

Tuesday after work I went home to find that our power had been turned off. The nice people at the electric company left me a note on the door telling me so. The girls and I are moving into our new apartment on Friday, so I didn’t think too much of it. Three nights without electricity, how bad could that be? So I called Matt to ask if I could borrow a camping lantern or two for the duration and he offered his house as a refuge. So we stayed there Tuesday night. We drove home Wednesday morning to get dressed for work/school and after arriving at work I found that I had brown socks on with my black dress pants and shoes. We stayed at home last night, all three of us camping out in the living room. This morning I was very happy to find that our water heater is indeed a gas water heater, so we do still have hot water. So I bathed (by candlelight), at 7:45. Around 8:00 I realized that I had no power to run my hairdryer. So I left the house this morning at 8:15 with very wet hair. We are staying at Matt’s again tonight.

Life is Good.

I got to meet Matt’s boys on Sunday. They are adorable. They and the girls got along very well. Matt is coming this weekend to help me move into my new apartment. Jerry and Angie are meeting up with us on Saturday to help out too. Those two have moved me so many times I’ve lost count. They really are good friends. Brad and Mari are supposed to come Saturday to watch Ariel’s soccer game and then take the girls to their house afterward. Then Sunday, Matt and I are taking my mother for lunch so they can meet each other. Big weekend for Matt: meeting Brad & Mari, Jerry & Angie, and my mother! Poor guy! LOL

Goodbye, Friend.

Today is kind of a sad day for me. My 6-month-old baby boy moved out. The baby I’m referring to is my beagle, Stewart. I have wanted a beagle my whole adult life, and I just got him this past Mother’s Day. Unfortunately, I am now moving back into an apartment that does not allow pets. The only solace I have in the whole matter is that he is going to a fabulous home where he will have a fenced in yard to play in, and boys to play with, not to mention a very handsome master! The girls and I will also get to visit him whenever we want, which is more than I could have asked for in a situation like this.

Thank God!

My boss just informed me that my company is laying 32 people off this morning...and I am NOT one of them! Which is surprising because I am the low man on the totem pole seniority wise. I do feel bad for those 32 people, but again - Thank God!
