Last night, I went to bed early because we have a meeting at 9:30 this morning, BUT I didn't actually get to sleep until AFTER 2:15 AM!

And then my cat crawls on top of me at 5:23 this morning and wakes me up and I couldn't get back to sleep.

Now, I'm finally about to take a shower get to work...on less than 3 hours sleep. I hate it when that happens.

Hello, everyone.

I am back home after a trip to Florida. Marvelous Matt was soooo pleased when I told him I'd leave so he could put in the new bathroom floor. He's very considerate of my needs, but it's just easier for us both when I'm not in his way. A visit to an old friend, now retired and living in Florida, was long overdue, so that worked out nicely.

I flew home on Tuesday and my flight was delayed. First we were told it was because of weather in DC, then because of weather in NY and flights being diverted. I got home safely and that's all I care about. But I will say that I've never seen so many FIERCE storms as we've had in the past couple months. Another nasty one last night and more trees splintered or completely down around my 'hood. Thankfully, my roof is finally fixed.

Thank you, Ginny! So nice to be missed. I'm glad to see you're now up and about a bit. Do you feel close now to fully recovered?

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #67 on:** July 24, 2008, 09:08:11 AM »

Welcome home, DR Jeanne! -And good to know that you're safe and sound... And with a new bathroom floor too!

George · « **Reply #68 on:** July 24, 2008, 09:09:32 AM »

And now, I'm off to take a shower, get dressed and go to work.

Until later!

Jeanne · « **Reply #69 on:** July 24, 2008, 09:09:36 AM »

How strange. I logged in, but now I'm shown as offline, but my name is still up at the top. Let's see if this post "takes".

Jeanne · « **Reply #70 on:** July 24, 2008, 09:11:17 AM »

Thank you, Jose. I was salivating while reading your posts.

Re: BB 10

My favorites, personality wise: Angie, Dan, Jerry, Renny (what can I say, she makes me chuckle), Ollie (bit why he likes that skanky April is beyond me), Keesha.

Game play wise: Dan, Michelle.

I am expecting big things from Memphis, but have seen little of it so far.

I think Jessie has issues. His mom did say he was a tiny kid and was picked on a lot, and that would likely be the staring point of his problems. Hopefully, as he matures, he will be able to work on that. But for now...well, that explains a lot and I don't think he will get very far in the game with the chips he has on his massive shoulders.

TOD:
I've never been big on slapstick comedy, but I must say that I LOVED MR HULOT'S HOLIDAY. I was 19 or 20 when I first saw it. Ditto THE TALL BLOND MAN WITH ONE BLACK SHOE. I also like British broad comedy more than the American version.

There are others, I'm sure, but they don't come to mind just now.

Thanks for asking, Jeanne. Yes, I've been given the green light by doctors treating both issues to resume normal activities. I'm going back to work on Monday and, as we discussed while you were away, my biggest challenge is footwear. My left foot is still pretty swollen.

Back from a jog and a quick errand, have shaved, and will shower in a moment.

Smooth (with no changes or upsets) travel vibes to BK.

Today I am being sprayed for scorpions (no, not me personally, but my abode). Oh, joy!

Will try to check back later.

I hope you have a huge floppy wide-brimmed hat to wear and that you made a huge pitcher of something to sip on to keep yourself hydrated.

"Try"? There is no "try". "Do" or ... well, I refuse to consider the consequences.

So...you just run off to Florida. You leave us in the lurch...you don't write, you don't call.

Pardon me if I pout just a bit.

Awash in paperwork this week.

It's amazing to me the number of small, local, emerging businesses (the County's target demographic for handing out contracts) who cannot present an easy-to-understand, logical or correctly tabulated invoice.

Sigh.

I wonder how DR snoozealarm is faring in his 4-hour seminar!

Yes, there is free wireless in the JetBlue terminal at Long Beach.

Well, I fared. Sort of. The training was being conducted remotely via PC. I was supposed to be following along on my own screen, observing what the facilitator was doing. But the darned technology kept booting me out of the meeting, so by the time I was logged back in, I missed a lot of key points. And this happened frequently. And repeatedly. Maybe there's a message there. $:-\$

This does not bode well for your chances on the pop quiz, much less the final.

Remaking "My Fair Lady", eh?
