One of my major goals today? Finish training Sheila. She's been officially at work since Monday (!!!), so she needed to complete her training session. I was concerned, because neither Rosanna nor Shelley ever really did complete training.

What a CRAZY-BUSY day!!!

And this day started at 4:00 a.m., and is STILL going (it's now actually after midnight).

We just got back from seeing the movie "Wild," with Reese Witherspoon and Laura Dern. It was absolutely amazing, and both Marilyn and I highly recommend it. Interestingly enough, Ariel at the office (our newest staff person) had ( Read more... )

Just had a bite to eat (homemade tacos filled with refried beans). (Weird! LiveJournal sees 'refried' as being spelled incorrectly...)

After Marilyn and I got off work, we came home briefly, then headed over to Vancouver, Washington to see the Nutcracker performance put on by the Vancouver Dance Theatre. Carol (our friend from work) had invited us ( Read more... )

Marilyn and I made our trip to Hump's today for lunch. Unfortunately, the food wasn't all that good, not usually true ( Read more... )

We had a nice day today, on the day before Thanksgiving ( Read more... )
