What a day

Last night I attended a semi annual get together the company has to keep moral up and just a general thank you for hard work during the year. I didn't have one drink of alcohol...I had club soda and lime.

Driving home, I put my cell phone in my car cup holder like I always do. Keeps it from falling or sliding all over the place. It was about a five minute drive. When I got home, I realized I had put my phone in a cup with about 3 inches of melted ice and coke in it. I took it apart and put it in front of a fan all night. Put it back together this morning. It turned on, Chapman's little photo shows up, all my icons are there, the bluetooth in my car works fine. I have everything but service!! One hour at the cell phone store and nope, it can't be something simple like a bad SIM card....so I leave with a new Blackberry Pearl. Fortunately, this is a phone that is backed up on your computer, so I got everything back with a click. Of course, I was 3 months shy of my free upgrade, but I managed to sweet talk them into giving it to me now since I've been with them forever (loyalty should count for something), I always pay my bill on time, every member of my family has service with them, I could go on and on.

Anyway, got home at 11 and had promised I would babysit. Natalie wanted her birthday dinner tonight. So I had a 7 month old, a 2 year old from 11AM until 6:30PM. I had to make a chocolate cake with cream cheese frosting, a roast that had to cook for 5 hours for French Dip sandwiches, green beans and mashed potatoes (enough for 8 adults).

They're all gone now, the kitchen is cleaned up and I'm exhausted.
I have already told them there will be no Sunday dinner at my house tomorrow. In fact, I've already made reservations at the country club
for 12:30.

Just a comment, it's certainly been a sort of a quiet, strange kind of day around here.

I slept late and had breakfast out.

I worked hard enough later at the paper to earn it, but there it is.

It has been quiet. And now you woke me up. At least it's not an ad for Timeline.

Not quite record quiet (14 posts on Saturday May 13, 2006), but definitely it was quite quiet.....

People were outside enjoying their weekend? Shocking!

Nope--we were waiting for the Moratorium Lounge to open up...
