Well...I'm ready to go when you are, I guess!
When do you start at thenewjob?
On Monday.
I'm trying not to think about it yet. ;-) I think it'll be a good job, but I hate that initial stage where you feel completely useless and stupid and out of your element.
I still have days where I feel like that. :)
Monsters found a real mouse
Proud of himself as he appears to be, I'm afraid I must keep Pippin honest. Gidget actually "killed" the thing.
Woohoo! First blood!
Heh...well, at least they have an idea what to look for. ;-)
I can't remember about pruning hydrangeas and lilacs. Some bloom on new branches, so you may want to check before you start whacking away. Maybe prune just as soon as the older branches have finished blooming so you'll know which ones you need to shorten.
I gots your snail mail addy. I'll see if I can get that together this weekend and send it next week. Will that be OK?
So he's not Dr. Jackass anymore? ;o)
That would be great! Thanks.
Heh heh! Matthew asked me "Does this mean he's just a mule?"
I just called the OSU bookstore to inquire about just buying a tassel and hood for Steve (since I'd found and ironed out his old bachelors cap and gown) and the guy told me "Well, he can wear his old bachelors cap and gown, but the Masters gown *is* different...has different kinds of sleeves and is made of better material. It's what they want for the OSU-Tulsa regalia."
So I guess that means I should get him the whole kit and caboodle. I don't want him to stand out as different.
But I ain't buying nuthin' till after April 21st! Heh heh!
Good kittykittykitty!
Hey, at least they know what to do with those things!
Bravo, Pippin!
And a big scratch on the rump to Gidgy-Gidg. ;-)
Vey smart! I'm thinking I'm just going to buy a tassel for Clare in the 'school' colors. I doubt she's interested in wearing a mortarboard, and we do have a graduation gown she could wear. I can figure how to make the tassel work, maybe on the front of the gown at the neckline.
I'm hoping to have a get together with our family after we get down to MS and do a graduation 'ceremony' for her there to present her diploma to her. We can have SirKit's brother celebrate Mass, then we can PARTY!
That sounds so neat! Having a family member do the Mass sounds so nice and something Clare will never forget!
Yes it is. :-) Water main break in front of our building during lunch, had an announcement that we should leave the building. Bout an hour later (very few left) another announcement was made saying we HAD to leave the building. So with much muttering, we packed up and left. heh,heh.
