Ok - I know technically it's been summer for like 2 months or so...but I've finally got a break from school for a month, so it can really feel like summer!! woo hoo!
This weekend I'm going to see the parental units...next weekend going to Funroe to see the friends...that's as far as I have planned...probably about all the traveling we'll get done (as far as I can tell) before school starts back...then the end of September we're going to Nebraska to see a friend get married.
Ok - gotta vent a little...how hard is it for someone to say thank you for you doing something for them...don't get me wrong - I'm the worlds worst at hand writing a thank you note and getting it in the mail...I'm talking a verbal thank you...or an e-mail...*sigh*...I don't do things for people to get a thank you...but to be "ignored" when you send something to someone...argh and it was the SECOND TIME!! Here's the story...my old boss came and asked me a legal question(she came and found me in person and asked me to find out something for her)...sounded interesting, I told her I'd see what I could find, but no promises....I spent a couple hours looking for the information for her over the next couple of days...sent her an e-mail (about a week after her asking)...with the information I found...it wasn't conclusive, because I couldn't find anywhere where Arkansas had handled that situation before...but told her about the "close" cases...spent some time on it...and told her that I'd done quite a bit of looking...I put a read receipt on it...and saw where she read it...and got NOTHING from her back...all I'm wanting is a "thanks for your time" kinda thing...is that too hard?!? She came to me because she knew it'd be free information...told me that...don't want to have to pay a retainer for an attorney...so you aren't going to pay me - that's fine - I'm not a lawyer yet...but at least say thank you!! (the other time was much more minor, but still irritating...she got a job change...not a promotion, just a change, but she'd been wanting one...I sent her an e-mail saying congrats I know you've been wanting a change...read receipt...and NOTHING...*sigh*)... Maybe I expect too much...I expect people to do what I would do...cause I don't think it's going out of the way to shoot an e-mail back (click reply, hit 9 keys "t-h-a-n-k- -y-o-u", click send)...
Ok - I feel better - got that venting out...(and you got something new to read - 2 birds one stone!)
Better get back to work - after taking off 2 days this week...I've got plenty to get done before the week's out (TOMORROW!) yikes!
LAMY!

the last few days....
Evenin folks...I'm going to see how much I can get update while I'm in class...I was late (because I got held up at work)...I didn't read for tonight (I'll get to why in a bit)....and I just don't wanna be here...so you get my attention instead...aren't you happy? :-)
Let's see...Work is well work - *sigh*....2 more days till the split...things had started slowing down...but then we'll get something in that has to be done yesterday....I'm ready for a future due date on something!!! That's what I was doing tonight instead of getting to class on time! Oh well! I didn't miss too much - I was about 30 min late (class is about 2.5 hrs)...
My favorite red head lost her grandfather this past weekend - I was heartbroken to hear about it (and I didn't hear about it till too late..). She was planning to go visit for one last full family visit (knowing he was in ill health)...but he passed before they made it down... Her birthday was friday...and her anniversary is this coming Sunday (if I remember correctly)...they've been married 7 years - WOW! time flies! I'm getting to keep her munchkins this weekend (well Friday night), so they can have a night alone! That'll be fun! :-) Her monkey (read daughter) has my sweet wonderful husband wrapped around her little finger!!!! It's cute!
This past weekend was "painting" weekend....we actually started applying paint to the walls....in theory - great idea...in reality - a WEEKEND LONG NIGHTMARE!!! but as of today they are blue!! (the reason I'm not prepared for class!) Friday we finished taping off the room, and I started painting...almost halfway around the room I my sweety needed me to go back and "touch up" something...when I did...the part that should have been "dry"...just peeled right off...*sigh*...I was not happy!!! The place we got the paint had told us that if the paint comes off with nail polish remover then it's latex, and so we bought latex, but the peeling of made it appear to be oil based...My sweety called one of his deer hunting buddies, who's a painter, who told us that we needed to get it off as quick as possible....he recommended 409 and lots of scrubbing...I'm sold on 409...it'll get anything off!!!! We got all but about 4 feet squared cleared off (by then it was 1AM)...Saturday we had to get the rest off - we were SO thankful we had done as much as we had on Friday night! THREE bottles of "Oops" later, and it was off...we got the primer and on Sunday got that on the walls....so for those keeping score at home - 3 days TONS of work - many sore joints and muscles - and we had the primer on! Last night we painted the blue...tonight my sweet wonderful husband said he was going to touch up the walls and the trim so it will be DONE tonight, and maybe by tomorrow night we can sleep in OUR room again!! :-)
Let's see...what else...
Oh - something that to me was awesome! Sunday night when I was saying my prayers at bed time, I asked God to show me his power on Monday...I asked him to show me something that I would know "that was God"...I do that periodically when my faith feels so weak...and Monday I got a call from my friends, that K had gotten a job! It was an answer to prayer for her...which was an answer of prayer for me...the way it all fell into place it HAD to be a God thing! They were needing some "uplifting" and to see God do something great in their lives...they had been dealt some tough things to deal with, and this was a turning point! Ain't God good! in answering their prayer...and them calling me to tell me...God answered my prayer...2 birds one stone! :-)
Ok - well I've updated, and still have 30 minutes of class...I can't think of anything else to write about though...I think I'm done...so better do spell check and get this posted...
Love y'all (if I know ya - if you're a lurker I don't know ya to love ya) LOL!

ok..ok..ok...
Here ya go - something new to read! LOL I get the hint! It was very subtle Mrs. Green! ;-)
I was planning to update last night while I was in class, but I ended up going home with a migraine...what fun! I'm sitting at work today - happy 4th! LOL! I think the company I work for is a Chinese company, so they don't celebrate the 4th! LOL - ok - just kidding! The company split happens in 2 weeks, so they are trying to rush month end close...and that means no taking off the 4th...they CAN'T wait for one more day to get the books closed! So the whole company EXCEPT accounting/finance is off today! ...*sigh*...but things are beginning to slow down! And we'll get to take our "Holiday" later...don't get paid extra for it, but at least we don't lose it!
I've got several things I need to get done, but I'm having to wait on co-workers to finish something else, before I can do what I need to get done...granted it CAN wait till tomorrow, but since I have to be here today, I might as well get it done!...
We have made even more progress on painting the room...actually BOUGHT the paint this weekend!!! WOO HOO! Cooking with Crisco now! We had lots of company this weekend...friends from Monroe on Friday night...they didn't stay but one night, so my brother-in-law and his wife, and their 2 kids came over, and we played games (the kids watched movies)...them coming over kept us from actually starting to paint...but playing games was MUCH more fun than painting! Then Sunday had the parent-in-laws over for lunch...My sweet wonderful husband cooked steaks, and I fixed several veggies for sides...it was quite yummy!
The hubby has been off both yesterday and today...I'm jealous...yesterday...he went out to his parents and did some yard work for them...and today I think he's going to paint for us! Wouldn't that be great - to get home and the room to be painted!!! woo hoo! I'm not expecting it - cause it IS his day off, but he mentioned he was going to do it, so I'm hopeful! I enjoy painting, so I don't mind helping, but if it's done when I get home, I promise I won't cry over it! LOL!
Ok - better get back to work...talk to you all "soon" <-- a very relative term!
