So have I told you lately that I love you?
You, my place of employ? My boss did not bat an eyelash when I emailed her today to say that although it wasn't on the work calendar, I would be working on renovating a house during the day tomorrow.
You, Sally North Hills? Who fed me leftover spaghetti and smoozed the evening away--I did go in to work for about an hour which is all my pea brain could stand. I still have no clue how I'm administering the quiz component of the book quiz* on Saturday, but I have enough questions--about 30 per team if no other teams show up. (I now have four teams.) Sally fed me two plates of venison spaghetti, veggies (of course--cuz she's a mama) and we even picked raspberries in her backyard. Plus, she lent me long jeans for the work site since I don't have a pair that fits right now (I've been wearing my J. Jill capri jeans since before Montana--I seriously need to do some laundry.) And I helped her unload and load the dishwasher and lounged on her bed while she folded laundry...I feel SO relaxed right now, I could go to bed.
Which I should, as I'll be at a work site tomorrow at 7:30 (yes, a.m.).
Oh, and did I mention that one of the weddings that I thought I wasn't invited to, the bride merely forgot to mail my invitation and was actually wondering WHY I hadn't responded yet--oops! So on top of everything else, I have a wedding on Saturday. So this week is jam-packed!! (But with nice things. And I will go to the reception for this wedding, as I have eschewed them all summer.) (Which it feels nice to feel that a wedding reception won't be a soul carving experience--I suppose it still could-might, but I'm feeling okay about things right now, and if I can hold onto that until Saturday...)
The invitation thing reminds me of the time on "Friends" when Joey convinced Monica to invite his parents to her wedding and had her call them up to personally invite them. "Tell them it got lost at the post office--they hate the post office. Oh, and the Irish." So, Monica gets on and says, "It must have gotten lost in the mail--U.S. Post office, they should call it the U.S. Lost office! What are they, Irish?"
Well, it's ten, I am going to get ready and hit the hay.

It's a wonderful thing to be happy at what you do SL, how lucky you are.
Yes, I am pretty lucky. I'll be luckier this Sunday AFTER the bruhaha of the M/C Smackdown is over.
AND FIREFOX NOW CARES IF I MISSPELL. AGH!!!! (have they become the next Microsoft? Big Brother...)
ksjflskdfjsd no, they still care. (Even after I changed it in tools.)
CRAP!
jfksjfks Okay, I fixed it. I had to tell Firefox I didn't care what language my pages came up in (or maybe it took them a minute or two to tell the squirrels to stop giving me red wavy lines when I misspell.
Pet peeve of SL: those red wavy lines when I misspell. What if I want to make up a word? Like shazammity?
As you were.
