My morning drive

This morning I was having a little chat with Nikki on the way to work and she totally put me in a good mood for the day without really even knowing it...

We were talking about her latest bus adventure with LA, it's been a bit dicey the first few days of school. First day, no bus. Second day, her home office went to retrieve the kindergartner and guess the entire bus world was sent spinning. They moved the bus stop, where you may ask? Don't know because Nik's home office (aka Eric) didn't think to ask. 

So this morning Nik was weighing her options.

I told her to call Sally the mom down the street to get the scoop.

What was her response.

"Nope, can't do it. The woman is clueless, a complete Gorilla Puff (new category to my world). Plus I just can't trust someone who's real name is Sarah but she goes by Sally. What is she some old lady?"

She wasn't finished. 

"Also something must be wrong with you to name your children, Mimi, Fred, and Walter."

I am assuming that all went well because I didn't have a voicemail.

GRANOLA puff...You and your blasted i-phone.

LA came home at his regular bus-stop. All is well in the world.

LOL. Whoops. I thought I heard Granola, then for some reason when blogging typed Gorilla???? When I read it it didn't sound right. Good God. Oh, well good for a laugh.

Maybe she is a gorilla puff in hiding? You never know...

I think a gorilla implies she's beasty mean. She's not at all. Quite nice, in fact. Just because I'm not a granola doesn't mean I can't spot a good one when I see one! :-)

PS...They gave LA a whistle at school yesterday. He's supposed to blow it whenever he hears a "b" word. Cripes, did I have a headache last night.

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.).

Z is like for Zodiac

Shelly and I went to the movie Zodiac last night. The theater was nearly packed with mostly men and couples, so it was a bit obvious when two teenage girls talking on cell phones walked into the movie 20 minutes late. Shelly turned to me, "Why would you even come to a movie like this if you are 20 minutes late?" I agreed especially since they had already missed the first victims meeting their demise and the opening which told the viewer this was a true story. You just had to know they were going to be lost the rest of the movie, plus the only reason they were probably there was to see Jake Gyllenhaal . The movie was very good, one of the best I have seen since The Departed , I read the book and the prime suspect was much creepier on the screen than I imagined in real life. At the end of the movie, Shelly stopped by the ladies room and I waited outside. The two teenage girls we saw walk in late also went to the ladies room with cell phones glued to their ears already. At our...
