Maybell - Welcome home! Missed you! So glad you had a great trip!
BA - Oh yeah, I fully understand fan disappointment myself. I grew up with it and with the exception of the Broncos, it just same ole, same ole. Our bullpen blows.
I know you'll miss your D17. Right there with you, bro. I will say that I'm really excited at the thought of seeing my D21 every week, though! Not too long now.
I'll be back... at Thanksgiving! D21 is driving down from NY and I made flight reservations yesterday too. D18 and I get in on Tuesday and leave on Sunday, with the rest of the U.S. population.
I'm finally sitting at my desk for the first time today. I'd been contemplating shuffling office space for awhile and pulled the trigger shortly after my erstwhile male labor arrived at the office. We've been busy! It looks great, and now my desk is close to our flat screen, so he turned on Blue Bloods. Like I EVER watch TV here at work. Never. Occasionally, I turn on the weather when it's necessary, but the cable feed is used for testing our products and software (it's what we do). So it's kind of funny to have it on right now.
At the very least, I dusted and vacuumed here. What a mess. I really need to do both way more often. I hate both tasks. Especially at work. Too many framed photographs of my girls.
Oh, and BA - for your reading enjoyment... last night I got a call from the son of my church lady friend. She sold her condo and is moving to Arizona the week after labor day. I'm SO gonna miss her. She can't see well, so when it starts getting dark early, I go pick her up. We've been really getting close over the past couple of years. Anyway, her birthday is Sunday, and her son called to invite me to join them for lunch. He's funny and sweet, and just maybe I could be convinced to jump the racial line. After we made our plans, he said, "Betsey, do you like BBQ?" I said, "Yup. A whole lot. Are you any good at it?" "I'm amazing. Do you like wine?" "Yup, I like that too." "Do you like a couple glasses?" "Yep, I definitely like a few glasses." "How about after mom leaves I invite you over for dinner?" "I'm all in. Just let me know."
I'll have to ask his mom at church on Saturday if he broke up with his annoying, clingy GF. That's a deal breaker. Sarah (his mom) can't stand her. She sounds super insecure.
I'll end this post by sharing something he told my D21 and her BF last year: "RO-mance without FI-nance is a NUIS-ance."
TTFN -
Betsey
