Oops...that's a good thing-I didn't catch it! I'm on a conf call, developing a report, and getting ready for my mid-year review. Too much multi-tasking!

sitting in parking lots and on the sides of roads because of the rain. I'm not kidding.
I had some errands to run after I dropped off Jax, including some grocery shopping.
At about 8:45 the skies just openned up - by the time I got my stuff done it was noon - I was hungry and wanted a beer. I got home at 1:45 and was on the phone immediately.

I let Jax go play out in the rain last evening - she took my unbrella out of the van!!!!
But on a brighter note.....one of the calls I made after I got in was in answer to an ad in the Salisbury (MD) paper about lab mix puppies - I made the call after coolbreeze had called me from his Salisbury office. He is now en route to check them out.
If I know him, and after more than 15 years I should, I have a sneaking suspicion we will have a new addition to the gabz/coolbreeze household tonight. Between the time he called me and I called him back after answering the ad he had already put a box in the back seat of his car!!!!!

Calling all croquettes! Calling all croquettes! This may interest the croqs, too.
A drink. If you change the URL slightly, you can also get #'s 1, 3, 5, and 6 as well. 2 and 7 don't seem to work.
