Work Day

-


When I was looking for a laughing turtle picture the other day I found this and it cracked me up.

Yet again I am procrastinating at going to work. This is not good as I am now running about 2 quilts behind. If I dont get caught up I will have to work one day this weekend. I HATE taking away from my play time. Plus I dont like to work with wonderful hubby home so then I have to give up that time too. So I am determined to get a LOT done today.

I had the most awesome surprise last night. Wonderful hubby calls me and tells me I have a surprise coming but he wont tell me what it is. He really knows the line between me and crazy is short and he really loves to yank on it.About a half hour later I am about at the end of that line and my oldest walks in the door! She has been gone for two weeks working a shut down in Valdez. I missed her. I dont know what the heck I am goinig to do when she goes to visit relatives in December and will be gone a month and a half.

She had fun working in Valdez. Turns out she worked with the kid that is soon to be the father of the Sarah Palins grandbaby. Oldest said he is a pretty nice guy. I guess he had a secret service agent the first couple of days but the guy soon left. I think the poor kid got ribbed a bit. I know oldest asked him if he had ever googled his own name.

All right I guess its time to get my rear in gear. Especially as I am still sitting here in my pj's.

OMG....dying laughing, as if we all haven't wondered if you can see Russia from your house, Becca. I suspected it the first moment you mentioned vodka......ok, my REAL question is......what is one doing when one is "working a shutdown in Valdez"?? (PS...My daughter just moved to Portland, I miss her too)

Becca, You have what I call 'WAB' (work avoidance behavior)... I am quickly learning some days are more productive than others. Good to know others experience this, too. Fun surprise about your daughter!
Best,
KS.

Hahahaha, Debbie I wish I could see Russia. That would be pretty awesome to just pop over for a vodka refill.Lol

I will try to give you the technical answer on the shut down... I am not sure.. I know that frequently refinerys will shut down for cleaning and repairs. I think that was what this one was. My oldest had the wonderful job as taxi driver, coffee make and all around gopher!

AHA I knew there wa a name to what I have! Its not ALL in my mind!Rotflol

I did today. Then just as I was about to scream I found this. It has ALWAYS made me laugh.I had forgotten I had it though.So today it was just like a present.Ü Oldest daughter has been confined to the house with what her doctor tells us is a very contagious viral infection. Personally I think her doctor is smoking some funny stuff. Her blood tests were normal and she has been battling bad tonsils for a month.Hmmmm. I dont think it takes rocket science when that is ALL she went in there for but evidently it does. More tests have been ordered and she is confined until monday. Can you say lets drive mom crazy? Then I found out a king size ALL feathered quilt that I mailed to a friend as a belated (like 20 years late)wedding, anniversary,housewarming(twice),congratulations on your 4 kids, yeah dont hate me because I am a horrible friend quilt NEVER showed up in the mail! I cannot find (big shocker there huh)the tracking slip. I did have it at one time in my hot little hands. So I know it w...

I bet yall thought I had forgotten to do a giveaway for my second blogaversary! I almost did I will be honest. Thankfully I remembered before the end of Feb!.....I also have some help Ü. A week or so back I got an email from Jamie who is part of the CSN promotion team asking if I would like to give away a gift to one lucky reader!!! WELL YA! I jumped on it. I had so much fun picking out a gift to give. They have some wonderful products. It took me almost a whole week to comb through their stores to find just the right gift! They have 200+ stores! I am thinking this may pose a threat to our bank account in the future, atleast once we get this house done! So grab a barstool and browse through their stores when you get a chance!
