So long 2008…

What a year and I must say I am kind of glad to see it go. I started out the year waving goodbye to Jeffrey (the Camry) he took a licking and he kept on ticking for quite a while. But even old reliable couldn’t take the last accident sandwiched for the 2nd time. How [...]

Well blow me down…

I went to my grandmother and I asked her if she would be willing to give up her place and move in with mom. I asked her because mom asked me to but I didn’t think it was a good idea. And I wasn’t surprised when grandma said no, a quick and emphatic no at [...]

Christmas done Cat’s way…

I didn’t plan it and that’s probably why things turned out so well.

Here we go again…

Ok, this is what I’ve been told, Value Options said we need to wait a while and get confirmation from them and the Hearing office that the appeal form was submitted…You did one, right? And so did I…They said until that time, as [...]

Karma…

Email from my mom today.
If you get a chance today please call my mother to see if you can talk her into moving in here with me to split the rent. I think she might do it if you ask her. You are the only one she loves. Tell her she can bring her furniture [...]

When in doubt order a white russian…

We bid farewell to a couple of people yesterday one I was happy to see leave but one I am really going to miss. I swear folks are dropping like flies and there is talk of another lay off. All the more reason to order a double white russian right? The double would have been [...]

Just shoot me twice…

If leaving the office last night with Kellie literally in tears packing her stuff wasn’t enough. Today I found out one of the people I used to work with in my old dept (the one the HR manager is pushing me to move back to) was fired. Being let go is awful. Being let go [...]

Just shoot me now…

MNG: how are the animal crackers and coffee?
cah1470: not helping
cah1470: but I don’t have to ask how the toasted english muffin was
MNG: all toasted aldi’s goodness.
cah1470: (9:47:39 AM) Kellie: so how close are we to needing a bullet this morning?
MNG: stop talking like that.
cah1470: it was Kellie
MNG: both of [...]

Surprise me…

My boys are very demanding, mostly my fault but they are very demanding all the same. But in one dept they are easy peasy. Gift giving. Cam never actually asks for things for his birthday or Christmas (with the exception of the dog). I ask him what he would like and he hems and haws [...]

A Mercy…

I have to admit when it comes to Toni Morrison I think I am just as star struck as Michele seemed to be giving the interview. She has a new book coming out “A Mercy” which I can’t wait to choose as my book for the book club. Unfortunately my month isn’t until April. I [...]
