Sugar arrived today

[Jane]

Had me some "sugar" this afternoon and forgot what a joy it could be.

Some sort of page 4 dance here.

I went shopping for a new TV yesterday (I thought it was time to replace my 26" console TV).   I didn't buy a TV but I bought a TV stand. 

KevinH, I have discovered that, most of the time, wathcing a television is more interesting than watching a TV stand.

T.O.D.

I have never purchased individual stocks, but I have had money invested in various stocks thourgh our Deffered Compensation Program at work.  I usually followed the adivice of several different co-workers who know far more than I do.  I was doing very well until the big stock market fluctuation.  I try not to think too much about how much I lost, since as my friends tell me all of my losses are just on paper.  Unfortunately, paper is our form of currency, so paper losses are very painful

Now the majority of my deffered comp is resting quietly in the Savings Pool, where very little ever happens to it.

I don't remember who had the obsession with hotel carpeting, but I was at the Hyatt in Burlingame on Saturday and just knew I had to take a picture of the carpet for HHW.. Here it is!!!

I don't think that obsession is a very nice way of describing Laura's Hobby!

Two of the numbers "Brain Tap" and "I Need an Earthman" were nominated in the Best Musical Number category.

Full list here......you can scroll down to MUSICALS to see them all.

Congratulations to THE BRAIN.  Like an idiot, I kept reading all the nominees, like I expected to see somebody I knew.

George, have you ever been to Pepper's Mexican Restaurant in Olympia?

[Jane]

Anybody gonna watch any of the new or returning show premieres tonight?

I heard that The Event and Lone Star are supposed to be quite good. So i will give them each a chance (although The Event is gonna repeat on Saturday night which is when i'm gonna record it).

Tonight is the premiere of Chuck, Dancing With the Stars, House, Castle, Hawaii Five-O...

I'm looking forward to the return of Castle.  I've set Hawaii 5-0 to record.  The reviews seemed good but the preview we saw isn't as promising.  It looks a bit like Miami Vice.  We are also recording Chase.  The Event looks intriguing.    In the past I've had trouble staying with this kind of show.  I might set it to record and decide later.

I had my physical today, and the doctor told me to keep eating the way I have been eating.   

Seriously, don't know anything until we get the blood work back.

I don't think that I have.  Have you?  I've heard of it, though.

On Friday, Jason Ritter (who will be in "The Event") was on Jimmy Fallon's talk show and Jason said that the writer(s?) of "The Event" essentially wrote out the entire show.  They won't be writing it as they go along and they know what is going to happen through the entire series and how it's going to end.  And that it'll only last five years.  That's how they sold it to the network.  It sounds like a great idea!

COOL!  Congrats to all involved!

No, they just added it to my Passport Card, so I can now buy one entree and get the second one free.  We should go sometime.

Page Four at 4:00 West Coast Time?  This will not do.

How did the audit turn out, Cilla?

What if it bombs and doesn't last 5 years?

We had a big rain storm last night and this morning, but now it is a beautiful afternoon.  I should have gone to the Puyalup Fair.  The Puyallup is now the 8th largest fair in the world.

How did the audit turn out, Cilla?

The auditor gave up looking for the $5.21 cents that my client ledgers are off.  I have to update him in the next 2 months when I find it.   Good grief!   Anyway, my books are just fine but I'm still going to meet with the accountant tomorrow to see if we can get the whole system computerized.  I use Quickbooks to balance the checking accounts. I can't figure out the trust account part of Quickbooks, so I just haven't used it for my client ledgers.  That's part of what I want the accountant to help me with.
It will also take a step out of the current process we're using and make billing a lot easier.

[Cillaliz]

Anyway, I'm really glad I'm done with that.  It'll be years before they come back. The auditor was really nice.  He said they've been in town for a week and still have at least 3 weeks left.  So that's 2 auditors, and 1 month to audit the lawyers in town.  That's a lot of auditing

[TCB]

So he wasn't too worried about the $5.21?

I'd love to...anytime!

My Accounting Professor at Fairleigh Dickinson University used to tell us that the hardest error to find was the one for two cents.

That's a completely different issue.

There have been so many shows (like FlashForward, Invasion and Surface) that never even make it past the first season and the big, giant question of the series never gets answered.  This would just be one more.

It was 93 degrees today.  yesterday's high was 57 degrees and tomorrow is forecast for the high to be 76
