Hi Navy Bro!

Yes, it's a crazy world out there, just trying to fit in :-)

[radu]

Well, it certainly doesn’t sound like a dull day though it sounds like a bit of a pain.
Guess it keeps one from getting bored. :-)

[radu]

Yeah, I was surprised last night when you said it was a bad day. This is usually the easier week.

With the division VP and a billing guy going to see the security manager, it sounds like someone had their hiney reamed. Ouch!

[radu]

LOL!

Kittehs are pros at ignoring.
And as soon as you turn your back, they ...

[luvie]

...till they all come home.....

[SkyDancer]

Hai - yeah, going over them yet again. My dispatcher goes over them again with me, she has all of them filed and I make copies to study. Even though they’re the same trips I like to be freshened.

[PROCON]

Seriously not much happening with me today. I made an early morning excursion to the discount store for a few items and actually have a job interview tomorrow morning. I will remain picky but it looks promising.

How wuz yer day?

Good evening, Luv!

*HUGS*

It's great to see you this evening! I hope you're not affected by that flooding down in South TX!

[PROCON]

Blowy guy approves of your 50...

[radu]

Well, maybe this one will work out. I’ll keep fingers and toes crossed for luck. :-)

Not much here today either. Did the regular Wed. grocery shopping and that was pretty much it.
Back’s been bothering me since I potted some flowers the other night and moved them to their places on the deck. Shoulda let Hubby do that since the pots were so heavy. I’ve paid for my stupidity and had to lay low most of the week. *sigh*

[radu]

[radu]

LOL! Thanks Blowy Guy.
Had to go for it early. I have to get up early tomorrow for a Republican Women’s Group meeting and won’t get to stay late tonight. Sure wish they’d have dinner meetings instead of luncheon ones. It hurts getting up early mornings!

[luvie]

I say...you got skunked! LOL!

Or rather, radu-d! ;)

[luvie]

No, we are a looooong way from Houston! Now..spel...that’s another story! :)
