-Thursday we saw Wicked for the 2nd time. It was breath-taking. We were both in absolute heaven the whole time, with goosebumps from the incredible talent of the cast. Defying Gravity brought tears to my eyes, and Casey said she hadn't realized she was holding her breath. We didn't have seats together, but it turned out the balcony we were ( Read more... )

Friday afternoon we had our quarterly Finance Town Hall get together. The one in November is always held in a nearby park. Great time for it, the weather is always amazing, and this time was no exception. I had some BBQ, played BINGO, painted a ceramic teddy bear, did the Cupid Shuffle and the Electric Slide, was amused by some people singing ( Read more... )

My mom finally got to leave the hospital yesterday. She and my dad are thrilled to be together again. He wasn't able to visit her because he still has the catheter and hasn't wanted to leave the house, but she did at least convince him to get out today, and I had dinner with them and my aunt Ann at Cracker Barrel ( Read more... )

I am going to start taking Tuesdays as my regular weekday off until we go back to 40 hour weeks. It's the best day for me because I have to do these reports on Mondays and Thursdays that take up pretty much my whole morning, so I obviously can't take those days, and when I take a day before that, I go back in with all this catching up to do AND I ( Read more... )

All I managed to do at home today was finish cleaning out my files. Actually, that's not true. I didn't even finish that. I was pulling out each file individually and throwing out old stuff, but about halfway through I decided it was taking up way too much of my time, so I just went ahead and filed everything and called it done. But yeah, there ( Read more... )

Just wrapping up day 3 of my 5 day weekend. We've been having lovely weather! It finally feels like fall, with temps ranging from mid-40s to upper 70s (though 40s is a bit TOO cold for me, even 50s. I've been very pleased with the warm, breezy afternoons though! Just warm enough to feel great, but not HOT, you know?). So, here's what we've ( Read more... )

-I recently finished reading Hunger, the 2nd in what is supposed to eventually become the 6 book Gone series. It's about how one day, everyone over the age of 15 vanishes, and kids are left to run the new world on their own. It's very Lord of the Flies, but with some Heroes mixed in because some of the kids start to develop powers (it involves a ( Read more... )

So hey, a tornado just touched down about 5 miles from my house. Good times. Hopefully it won't get closer. The sky is lighting up all freaky at the moment. It's lightning of course, but it's like these flashes of light across the whole sky. I don't think I've ever seen it like that before ( Read more... )

Oh yeah. We saw The Devil Wears Prada yesterday. It was pretty good... very similar to the book I just read, Everyone Worth Knowing, but then it's the same author. I actually enjoyed the book more. It would be cool if that was made into a movie.

And that's all I have to say about that.
