girl's night out
looking forward to a girlie night out on the town organized by Anna of the Retro-Moderns fame
I am going to miss out on cosmo hour (damn kid and dog and the fact that we live across town) but I will meet the girls to see Sex & the City and I think a late supper after.
Out on a Friday evening why that is just crazy for me! I will be out waaay past my bed time. Been looking forward to seeing the film for awhile now but I must admit to being tired of the deconstructing and over analyzing of the series and the film and yes I did indulge myself a few months back on that but bottom line is it's fiction for crying out loud! Enjoy people it's called escapism! And I am indulging this evening.

phone system
in this day and age it is unusual for my desk phone to ring here at work. Most of my vendors rely on email to get a hold of me and all personal calls go to my cell phone.
If it is before business hours and my phone rings it is generally one of the owners or a co-worker.
Any other time of the day the phone ringing startles me for some goofy reason and I kind of don't like to answer it because who the hell knows who it is or what they want-no caller id on the system.
Another annoying aspect is the phone system itself somehow or another a million years ago when we got this I got assigned the receptionist line so when ever you dial into my extension it says transferring to receptionist it also means when lazy people call in and don't know what extension they need the call gets transferred to me. If someone does not answer their line here an option to transfer to you got it the receptionist is available. I get lots of annoying calls ranging from selling office supplies to idiots who well let us just leave it at idiots. There is a fine line with how bitchy I can be I mean the system does seem to think I am the receptionist...I do not however get flowers on receptionist day.
Sadly I can tell when a call has rolled over from another extension and I have taken to not answering the calls. We all have voice mail leave a damn message that is what it is set up to do.

laundry debacle
and debacle it is.
I was doing laundry yesterday evening as I am wont to do umm most evenings.
I check pockets because in the past I have laundered a wallet, crayons, a pen, pay stubs, endless tissues, a lighter, cash, pokemon cards, matchbox cars you name it has been in our laundry. Apparently I missed a pocket last night.
Empty items into the dryer I noticed an odd flavorful odor and pulling out the last pair of shorts I found the spice jar from Sunday's meatfest extravaganza sitting in the bottom of my washer and of course it was open. So in fact my laundry smelled like Beer BBQ spice fantastic for chicken not so much for jeans....

another one to add to the list
my SIL has started a blog recently
I know her in-laws aren't crazy so whatever will she have to write about? Oh yeah she has a crazy husband I forgot! well and if you're reading my blog you know she has crazy in-laws....
All kidding aside in my opinion being a military wife/spouse is not an easy task they might not actually be in uniform or have taken the oath but they are as much a part of the military as anyone serving.

post Meatfest
or as my brother said the day after should be called "purgefest"
Sunday was a successful party in my estimation if anyone did not get enough to eat it was their own damn fault!
Meat galore ribs, chicken, hotdogs, cole slaw, macaroni salad, potato salad, baked beans, mac & cheese, tomato salad, corn bread thingy, olives and more so very much more! Don't even get me started on the desserts super yummy stuff-there was food everywhere in that kitchen.
new blogging buddies missy & her sister and their families fit right into the fold they are a little twisted like the rest of us so I knew they would mesh well with our little crowd. And oddly enough not such new buddies at all apparently Jeni & I would have met before-about a million years ago so yes it truly is a small world after all..
Monday was a fantastically lazy day I did a little bit of clean up, D worked in the afternoon & C spent the day next door playing in the neighbor's pool with his buddy who is their grandson. It was nice I napped a little, read some of my book and re-watched the last season of Sex & the City in preparation for girls night out and the new film on Friday. Today is is back to the grind and adjusting to the summer schedule around the house day camp for C each day and summer school for me starting tomorrow-if you are a religious sort throw up a prayer or 2 for my survival probability & stats for about 8 hours a week I am going to need all the help I can get!
