Happy Tuesday

Not much going on in my part of the South.   It's already hot...upper 90's most days.   
Last Thursday we had a job fair at work, and it had a really good turn out....by job seekers that is.   Several of the vendors we invited didn't show.   But I think it was a good turn out regardless.    I didn't make it home until after 9:00...which made for a long day, but it was for a good cause.    Friday I was in meetings all day.   Our annual one for work...which means they go over the same things as usual.    I was looking forward to having the afternoon off...but at the last minute the powers that be scheduled Excel training.     I pretty much know what I'm doing with it, but what can ya do.
It was six years this weekend that my dad made his trip to heaven.   Hadly seems that long.    Was missing him a lot.    Tried to call my mom several times and the phone company said the phone wasn't working.   It wasn't until I tried to call my Uncle that I realized I was dialing the wrong area code..I'm such a dork...LOL
Watched that Hillary Swank movie P.S. I love you Saturday and bawled all the way thru it.   It was a good tear jerker kinda movie.   
We have kittens at our house...at least 4, but they are so wild you can't even look at them.    I laughed yesterday when I went outside and one (a little grey and white one) was peaking out from under the lawn mower at me.    If it's quiet outside in the late afternoon when it cools off you can see them playing out on the carport.
The Hubs is looking at trading his car for a small truck.   Gas prices is really hitting us  hard.    I have to fill up twice a week at $50 bucks a pop..and so does Ken.   So were spending like $600.00 + a month just on gas.   So he's looking at something a little smaller.
Not much else going on...it's suppose to rain today...I hope it does...maybe it will cool things off some.   We have had a long string of 90 + days here...I think the weather guys said 8 or 9 days straight.  
I've had a craving for Cheetoes lately...wonder what that means? LOL
Happy Tuesday...

Yep, had a heat wave here, too...hit 100 degrees a couple of days. Can you believe that Edie had the A/C set so cold (she was "comfortable") that I had to go outside to warm up? We get waves like this here and there during the summer, but seldom this early...although we were hit with one even earlier last year. Sorry to hear about your Dad, I fear the day my parents will not be here. But, I'd like to think that your Dad is having a fine time in his new home. Now, I hope you got to have your Cheetos!

It's been nasty hot here too, and it's WAY too early for that here. Ugh.
I hate the thoughts of trading Daisy in for a small car. I suppose it's not really a possibility because you can't fit today's carseats in today's cars and I have two carseats. It took $95 the other day to fill her up so Da Man could make it to the VA. Oh, I could go on and on about the price of gas.
The kitties sound cute. I love babies of (almost) any type--except Twinkies.

not regular desil, bio-desil

Elfie, when a parent leaves us, we always think about them especially around the time they went... it's sad that they went, but they are in a better place.

It's been very warm here, too... no rain in sight!

gas is killing me too, I'm thinking about trading in for a hybrid or something that takes biodesil

You'll miss those meetings when you retire---NOT!!!!

Cheetos whats that
comment by fredo on June 10, 2008 2:01 PM ()
I'm sorry to hear about your Dad . I wonder if losing a parent ever gets any easier. I can't even imagine it.
Cheetos sound really good right now. We buy this new organic brand..it tastes no different than the origional (except it doesn't leave the annoying orange on your fingers) and is made with all natural ingredients. Good stuff!

mmm Cheetos!!! Give in!
I thought P.S. i love you was a bit too drama filled for my blood, but it was cute. Glad ya liked it!
I hear ya on gas. I am sooooo glad I adore my little honda civics!!! To me it's still expensive, but in comparison, nope!
Happy Tuesday!!!

My Dad has also been gone for six years. I miss him a lot.
As far as gas prices are concerned, I commute 70 miles round trip every day to work. I just started car pooling. It's actually fun, and it saves me about $30 a week.

it is way too early for us to be having a heat wave! storms come tonight to cool things down. and I have a kid who is so bored but you don't dare play outside in this heat. think we will pack up and go to the library. stay cool! I love cheetoes!!!!!

Oh, Pam...we had a bag of Cheetos in the cupboard for the big birthday par-tay on the weekend and it was all I could do to NOT eat half of the freakin' bag, watching re-runs on Friday night!It probably means that you're craving salt because it's hot.I hope that you take some time to yourself to allow the memories of your Dad to be enjoyed...even if they do make you cry...this weekend.
