One of those kind of days

Ever have one of those days where you feel like the fates are against you every step of the way? Well, today was my day to have the powers that be shine on me.

It isn't even 8:00 p.m. and I have opened a bottle of Malbec and am going to go to bed very, very soon.

Here are a few highlights:
  • Started day by losing contact, finally was resolved to open the new pair when I found my old one stuck to the top of my foot. Dusted it off, but it is just not the same will need to open new set tomorrow. Maybe being able to see properly will make everything all better.
  • Dropped breakfast on the floor while carrying the bestest bagel with cream cheese and boysenberry jam to the table. Dogs loved the snack, however was not too upset because had one more bagel in reserve which I forgot about and incinerated. Dogs didn't love second bagel as much as first.
  • Dropped all of AE's clean shorts in dog's water dish, have now rewashed, but somehow a kleenex made its way into second load and will need to re-do...tomorrow.
  • JG turned the sprinkler on when I was ensuring it was properly attached, proceeded to drop on good foot. Foot not so good anymore.
  • Got locked out of the house, thank goodness had finally found the one house key we owned and recently hid it - just in case. However, couldn't remember where I had hidden lone key, finally found it and now must find second really good hiding place.
  • Lastly, showed up for AE's softball game 45 minutes early for 7:15 start. Unfortunately game really started at 6:00 p.m. so we were 1/2 hour late and she couldn't play. She and JG really didn't seem too upset because they got treats. JG said, "I think that was the best game yet." Must double check all dates in handy, dandy Google calendar.

50 is the new 40

There is hope - I realized today that Madonna is going to be 50 in like 3 months - crazy. 50. Have you seen her lately? She looks amazing and is proof that 50 is the new 40 or in her case 35. Here is her most recent song w/Justin Timberlake, 4 Minutes. Not gonna win a Grammy, but makes me want to start doing yoga, I would give anything for arms like that.

Pleased as punch

We got our new vacuum cleaner last night. The home office was kind enough to pick one up along with our PF Chang's takeout. Take out Chinese on Valentine's is a tradition. Anyhoo, as you can see from the photo we basically sucked up an entire Pomeranian in our upstairs family room. I don't know if I should be embarrassed or pleased. I mean we just vacuumed on Monday with the Hoover and I knew it wasn't picking up everything, but this is ridiculous. The home office was so impressed with the Animal he went downstairs and vacuumed up another canine in the family room down there. I am still trying to figure out all of the gadgets on the machine. I seriously cannot figure out how to attach the stair cleaner. It is really funky how the thing is put together, efficient, but funky. I also for the life of me cannot figure out the directions. I dislike how all European companies, Dyson (UK), IKEA (Sweden) just show you pictures. I always thought I was a visual person, but I am b

Gainfully employed

I heard back last night from Cargill , I start back into the world of the gainfully employed as an independent contractor on October 8 th . My old client, who will now be my new client, Jeff wrote: I'm thrilled we get to work together again. This is the most important project our business unit has taken on in a lot of years so I feel a lot better knowing you're going to be part of it. OK now I'm nervous. Eeek - the most important project? Whoa, better bring the A game, but you know I am excited - scared - but am ready to go. I have so much to do before the 8 th , gotta get the list together to make the most of my kid free week (now that litte man is at daycare in the a.m.). Let's see: 1) Paint basement. 2) Purge house of clutter - how can we accumulate this much crap? 3) Goodwill and library drop off - Maple Grove Library is taking donations until Oct. 6 th !!! 4) Get the yard ready for winter - should I plant more bulbs? 5) Put basement back together - IKEA run ma
