Spam.  No not the meat in a can.  But I have been getting spam replies to my posts..On Blogger people have to write the little letters in a box before they can reply to a post.  I always thought that was kind of weird. Fortunately LJ has been good at alerting me to these posts and not letting them go through.  Thank you for that, LJ

How is it that we can lose our favorite plants to a freeze, even when we cover them up, but the weeds continue to flourish!!  Yesterday was warm and nice, so I pulled lots of weeds.  Maybe I should just embrace them as ground cover.

My son is wearing a suit and tie.  For the first time.  Ever.

Lots of changes going on at work this past month and a half, requiring a lot of not very fun paper work and some suspense regarding salaries, rules, getting it all done, plus our regular work.  While the changes did not occur in a very  up front way, which made many of us more suspicious and worried, it looks like it will mostly all work out.  Now, yes, there could still be some surprises, but maybe not too bad.  And there are some good things with the changes.

Bet y'all are all curious now, huh?

Have a great day.

To write with a broken pencil is pointless.

The batteries were given out free of charge.

A dentist and a manicurist married. They fought tooth and nail.

With her marriage, she got a new name and a dress.

You are stuck with your debt if you can't budge it.

A boiled egg is hard to beat.

When you've seen one shopping center you've seen a mall.

Police were called to a day care where a three-year-old was resisting a rest.

If you take a laptop computer for a run you could jog your memory.

Yes, Life has been crazy.  I have been working LONG hours the past few weeks to accomplish all the new paperwork required because my company has contracted out the the rehab department.  So instead of working for the nursing home, I'll be working for a contract rehab. company.  

The whole thing was done in a slightly sneaky way---no--make that real sneakty.  However, it may not be all bad in the end.  The company is larger than the corporation that owns our nusing homes, so there are some benefits from that.  It may be that once we get a handle on the new software for documentation, that life will pretty much go on the way it has.

So I was delighted to go on a short vacation to Gulf Shores, Alabama.  It had been over 15 years since my last beach trip.  Have I  mentioned how magical the ocean seems to me, how it can excite me and calm me all at the same time.  Have I ever told you that the first time I drank a margarita was at the beach long, long ago (yes, Jodi, before you were born).  Have I ever told you that one of my greatest fantasies happened on a beach.  Horse back riding along the beach is one of life's finest things!!!

  Yes, I know that it doesn't look that extraordinary!  But superimpose this on the week I'd had at work, and it's pretty amazing.

     I highly recommend vacations!!!

 Have I mentioned how much I enjoy time off work?  A lot.  This is a long weekend for me.  Some things I need to do, but basically, 4 free days!!!  Hurray!!!!
