Jax mentioned yesterday that she would like to get some of the sunflowers that actually came up, but can’t get to them because of the water.

I made the mistake of trying to drive out to the other side of the field...........at least I used the Escort and not the pick up, I don’t think I would have been able to get that out of the mud.

Today is Boss’s Day, so I have been inundated with well-wishers from my far-flung empire. I just found out yesterday that effective Monday, I’m getting another department transferred to me from Operations. It’s just as well, they spend most of their time in my office asking questions and doing things for my people anyway.

We were listening to the play by play of it on Hannity and I was reading the thread.

The whole thing is just bizarre.

Probably not. I really don’t like horror movies. I’m more into action/adventure/scyfy...or anything with Eastwood or Willis in it.

Emma Watson made Empire Magazine’s hottest list at #3 behind Megan Fox and Angelina Jolie. I’m not sure why.

I’m not saying one way or another on that. There have been far too many conflicting stories in regard to Palin and much of it being hyped/trumped up by Politico, WaPo and the usual suspects.
