While the cat's away...

.... the mice will play.

note to self - when you ARE taking a day off, be sure that you leave plenty of work for the mice to do or else they will PLAY. I came back to work and was greeted by the following display :

Exhibit A: Appearently while I was at the hospital attending my hubby, Barbie came by and placed a last minute wedding order.

note the scale of said bouquets..... Here is the Bridal and Bridesmaids bouquets
Bride Barbie with Jr. Bridesmaid....I guess the gals have just done 1 too many weddings this season....

Secretly, I LOVE the creative display that this is :)

Interruption

These cute little guys decided to interrupt our workday. One of the girls stepped outside for a bucket and came running back in saying "There's kittens outside under your truck!!!" So of course we all had to take a look-see. A couple of the braver kittens consented to being held - all while the Mama cat was close by watching.

Fair Night

So last night we went to the County Fair. As we were sitting in the loooong car line to get into the fair, my husband made an interesting statement:

"I bet that before we leave tonite you will have stopped and talked to at least 10 people."

Really??!!

But isn't that the point of going to the fair?

So while hubby parks the car, he lets me out to stand in line for tickets.

As, I head towards the gate I hear my name called - wouldn't you know the guy parking cars was someone I knew. 1 down 9 to go

When we got into the car to go hame later that night, I asked Hubbo if I had talked to 10 people ~ his response:

"I quit counting at 10."

Enough said.

and I'm Off~

Early, that is :)

That's right - it's Friday and I'm leaving early - since I completely forgot to take my day off on Wednesday, I'm taking time today to leave work and enjoy a little bit of this glorious afternoon!!!


Happy Friday one and all!

A Day Off

Ha Ha - I laugh at the thought.

I came into work early today to get a few things done before a morning meeting - so it was a bit of a whirl-wind and then meeting for 2+ hours and then back to work.

Back to work - only to realize that I wasn't scheduled to work at all today ~

So here I am on my 'Day Off' at work cleaning and organizing for upcoming events while waiting for some clients to come by that really wanted to meet with me about some funeral pieces. So here I sit (for a moment) typing, wanting to go home but not having a vehicle to go home in (and that is a whole 'nother story for another time).

BUT maybe, just maybe I'll get to leave a little early .... that remains to be seen.

All things Veggie

Sometimes life amazes me. Other times it just amuses me.

Today, it amuses.

As I was cleaning house yesterday, I found myself humming/singing a tune. You might think that it was a worship song from that morning's church service or maybe a song from the radio. Alas, no.

So what song was issuing from my lips, you ask?


It was Veggie Tales. Madame Blueberry's song "I'm so Blue" to be exact.


Now to completely understand and appreciate the complete craziness of this, you need to know that I have no children, I have no reason to have Veggie Tales in my head. No reason that is until you factor in the crazy people I work with and their love of all things Veggie Tales. In, fact, as I type this I have already listened to 3, count them 3 Veggie Tales sing along CDs and it's not even lunch.

I think there is no hope for removing Veggie songs from my mind. So I will continue to hum/sing Veggie songs at odd times.

So to my neighbors, please don't think of me as the crazy Lady next door - just give me grace and know that it's not craziness - it just the repercussions of working with creative people all day.
