oh honey - i wasn't a bit embarrassed getting my arm stuck. i was just happy daryl came out of the garage when he did. if i posted that i just half crazy from the day. i do things that would make most people hide under their beds for weeks on end, yet i never miss a beat. it's just who i am LOL x forever
yesterday i got things updated. monday will be the beginning of what may be remailing letters to ensure people got the correct ones.
if i did make a big mistake - well it's made. the only thing i can do is take steps to correct it. i do know this though, if i did make a mistake, i'll take the consequences. i'll own it and do my best to rectify it. mistakes happen. most can be resolved.
i went to the vet for flea pills today - yes we have fleas blast it all. and what i have to endure to get the pills down the boys!!!! the humane society would say they deserved to be beat LOLOL
my mistake was letting pony see the pill. i even crushed it up and put it in a scrambled egg for him and he shunned the dish! i sat on the kitchen floor forcing his mouth open and dropping bits and pieces of his snack down his throat. did he spit them out? yep. and they were forced right back in! so what did keeper do? followed suit. i had to go through the same thing with him! it was not pretty LOL
when i left the vet i stopped at the library and got several dvd's. when i came out this darling little bitty about 4 week old calico kitten came running to me just meowing her head off. it was like she'd been waiting for me all her life. i took her to the vet's office where i was informed they don't take stray cats and that it's "kitten season." they suggested i take the kitten to the humane society. oh i just now realized they said humane society NOT the pound - duhhhhh. i didn't. instead i brought her home - scrambled her an egg and gave her some water. right now she's living on the front porch - firmly ensconced in one of my white wicker rocking chairs. her name is mazie june. in the car she climbed up on my shoulder and nested in my hair. after she ate, she climbed in my lap and purred. rats!!!!!!!!! pun intended LOL
i did send an email to some friends who work with PAWS and/or have children with her picture saying she needs a good home. the boys will kill her. not a doubt in my mind!!!
i love the behr sunburst paint color so much i'm thinking about painting my kitchen later. it's a pale yellow but this sunburse color - oh honey it ROCKS!!!! yellow with a hint of apricot.
i'm going to get mazie june now and give her a bath. for something only twice the size of my cell phone she sure doesn't smell very good. i've already washed the clothes i had on earlier!
burn those batteries, man of mine!!!!! kick back and enjoy your weekend. no schedules - no rules!!!
party on!!!!!!!!!
life is good - and it's a long post!

Well Karma ? Did you make the mistakes you think you did (because you're human) ?
That's the way mom used to give me pills as a kid ! LOL....not in dog food. ....in eggs or ice cream etc etc. It must've worked !
So now you have a cat ?!?!?!?!?!? LOL Way to go ! At least you won't have to take it for walks. Are you going to become the neighbourhood "crazy cat lady" ?????? LOLOL
The boss came in today with a bee up his a**. He started acting like a jerk towards everyone.
I started to walk away and just as I started to walk away, he barked my name. I suppose he had to find SOMETHING. So he nitpicked about something I did 3 months ago ! After he was done talking, I turned around and walked away. I don't think he liked that because he didn't speak to me or acknowledge me for the rest of the day. Oh well...you can't please everyone.
That my day in a nutshell...oh yeah..one more thing. A job I designed ran really good today. I heard that from a second party....not my boss.
Hope all went well today !

mazie june is now living about 10 minutes from here with a wonderful girl. how lucky are we? a girl from work went on a search and find mission today for a home for mazie june. right before dark she called and gave me the girl's phone number. i called and asked if i could bring mazie june over right then! she's so tiny and there are so many big cats roaming the neighborhood. this morning she was running after me to the car on my way to work. i grabbed her up and put her in the rocking chair and raced back to the car LOL
this girl had her last cat for 13 years and has been without a pet for a year now. it is her time to love a new baby! mazie june will nuzzle and nestle in her hair just like she did with mine and start to understand - she probably already does - that she now has the best mommy ever! mama drove over with me and cried when we got back in the car because mazie june looked back at us like "why?" all i could say to her was because you deserve the best home ever and it's not here with me. despite mama saying that cat would be living here forever, i knew she couldn't. in no way am i hard-hearted hannah but i was able to enjoy her company and love - then turn her loose to another. in that, i'm very proud of myself.
there are 105 million reasons i can't have a cat. first and foremost is pony! he knew there was a kitten on the front porch and he was practically in a 'roid rage this afternoon. sooner than not he'd have gotten around me and onto the front porch. and he would have killed mazie june just that fast! then the woods are right next to my driveway. what if she was exploring when i drove into the drive? the list goes on and on to infinity.
what i am doing at work regarding the "maybe" problem is randomly calling parents and asking about forms they were supposed to send in after they received letters from our department. this way i can ascertain - maybe - if the phone call i got with THE mistake was just a random mistake with no pattern. if you can comprehend what i've just written - well you're smarter than most LOL so far all calls have gone perfectly. i didn't make myself sick over it like i once would have but it bothered me - and still does just a bit. right now i'm just glad i figured out a way to be a sleuth and not have to worry anybody in my department with it. if it comes back to bite me or knock me down - i'll worry about that later!!!!
your boss is a wacko. why is it that when someone has a small bit of power they wield it like they're hitler? i don't get it.
tomorrow i'm going to make more calls - keep your fingers crossed for me?

WACKO !!!! - THAT'S the word I was looking for ! Wacko it is. Wacko it shall be. About 5 cans short of a 6 pack he is !
I kept my fingers crossed. How did the calls go ?????
As for cats, there are enough stray cats roaming the neighbourhood. I keep telling my cousin that they all must be "drop-offs" from the country. LOL She accuses us city people of dropping animals off in the country.
It took me reading the second to last paragraph 3 times to understand it, but I do believe I got it ! I am smart, I am smart !!!! LOL
There was absolutely nothing to do at work today. There is nothing worse for me then acting busy. I'm not a good actor. Tomorrow, no bosses will be here. So it SHOULD be a good day.
What wacko weather we've been having here. Monday was 80 degrees, Tuesday was 50 degrees, today was 80. It wouldn't surprise me if tomorrow we got snow. WAIT !!! I TAKE THAT BACK !! I SHOULDN'T HAVE SAID THAT !!!! NOW IT'LL HAPPEN !!!! I TAKE IT BACK I TAKE IT BACK !!!!! Well.....I may as well get out the electric blankets and snow shovels again.....
Tomorrow.....we shall rock.

oh i'm just going to entitle this story - adventures in karmaland. it's not pretty - yet every single one of my good friends at work have laughed out loud when i told them.
so here's what happened. i was apologizing to the head of the art department for being snippy with her last week - she brings out the snippiness in many. i told her i understood her concerns about the big store room being untidy and that the superintendent had looked in there after it had been tidied and said it wasn't good enough. art lady asked me "who said it wasn't good enough?" and i used the superintendent's first name - and looked up - then said god. what are the odds the woman would have been standing right behind me when those words came out of my mouth? i should have played the lottery yesterday!!!!! lesson learned? never call the head of the school district by her first name - and it's probably not a good idea to call her god - especially when she's standing right behind you. had she come to see me about something? yep. did i feel the big "L" glowing on my forehead for loser? yep. we conducted our work very nicely and professionally - we even exchanged several work related emails regarding the information she needed. the whole time i knew she'd heard me say what i said. blast it all.
right before 5 i went up to her office and asked her secretary who is a friend - but we're not close - to have THE superintendent please call me when she had the time. and i told her what she'd overheard. maybe my friend ran interference for me - i have no idea. but around 6:30 i got the call i'd hoped for. i told her i was pretty sure she'd heard what i'd said. she said she had. i told her i'm very irreverent and i meant nothing by it. i apologized and told her i wished she knew me so she would know i respect both her and her position. AND that i wasn't apologizing because i was afraid of losing my job - that the thing most important to was that it's just my sense of humor - right or wrong - and hoped she could understand that. i actually sounded really smart and pulled together when i was talking to her - not rambling like i am right now. in fact, i sounded like i have walking around sense - sighhhhhhhhhhhh superintendent was very nice and polite - said let's just put this behind us and move forward. i thanked her for being so very gracious.
it's a given that art lady went to the division chief with my fox paw and she just about died of horror. my boss wasn't there and was out sick today - sinus infection - not me! she's probably fit to be tied and wants a piece of me. not that i blame her.
now i sit back and wait to see how it all plays out. strangely i'm not sick with worry over it. i have no control over anything. one of my best friends applauded me for having the wherewithal face the music right then and there. she said that in taking that step in asking for a phone call i had claimed a bit of power over my actions. oh and that i was/am brave. i appreciate those words but it's something deeper inside me. i am in a place right now where if something is going to be said and done, i want it said and done now - not next week or next month. i don't want the angst, the worry, the fear of the what if's. understand?
after a few more calls, the mistake seems to be an anomoly - i use that word because it's not overly used LOL i spent all day in front of a computer assigning children to different schools and triple checking every single assignment. talk about OCD behavior!!!!!
when i got home yesterday the boys had gotten the king snake and it was next to dead. i'd so hoped it would stay away from the pool - live in the woods. since keeper was wringing wet, i can only assume he went in after it. it was big - between 4 and 5 feet. and yes it made me sad even though i was a bit scared of it.
i await your response because i know you've never ever in you whole entire life ever made the kind of gaffe i did yesterday!

The strangest thing happened. For the past 2 days, I've been trying to get onto this site. Everytime I tried, my computer locked up. I can go on other sites (ebay, the local newspaper, yahoo etc etc and I'm fine. But trying to get on this site was panic inducing ! LOL I'm surprised that I can get on it now !!!!!!
I'm not shunning on purpose ! LOL Your story is VERY funny and I can honestly say that that's happened to me a few times ! LOL After it happens, I can feel my blood pressure rise and I feel like blacking out (or just disappearing). It ends up that everything turns out just fine. How did it go with you ?
I got a chance this weekend to actually start the walkway to my backdoor. I bought the pavers a little while ago, I just got the energy to go out and play ! I have to go back to Home Depot on Friday and get the a few more. I didn't get enough. Home Depot even sells steps ! I found the one I want. I only need 1 step to get into the back door. It looks like a carved out rock, but it's lighter. It only takes 2 people to move it. LOL
Work is going great ! The bosses weren't there so I got a ton of stuff done. I worked Saturday, so the overtime is baaaaaaaack ! That's good because that's what pays for the back walkway.
It's 80 degrees here, but it's going down to 70 tonight. I needed the air conditioner put back in the upstairs window. I can't believe how hot it gets up there. It just traps the heat.
How was today for you ?????? Did you get to laugh about your "fox paw" ? LOL You can tell you're not french ! LOL Did you mean to type in "fox paw" ????? That's hilarious ! LOLOLOL

YES i meant to type fox paw LOLOL it expresses the horror of the situation perfectly LOL
my boss has allowed me to live. i haven't been reprimanded or punished - and so far still have my job. she was out all last week. the only email i received from her was "stay out of trouble" - and she meant it. and i stayed FAR away from trouble!
when she came in late this afternoon she looked at me and laughed - told me i was a jinx and handed me a really cool jacket she can't wear anymore. i hugged her neck and said i was so sorry - and i am very sorry! i told her how much i appreciated her short email and knew better than to respond to it LOL and no she had NOT expected a response - she knew i was laying low!!!!
you want to talk heat? the heat index here hovered around 105 degrees today. and it's muggy. mama's a/c broke saturday night. she managed to gut it out saturday night at her house - her choice - then called about 10:00 last night begging for me to turn on my a/c so she could come over and sleep. of course i turned it on for her. but her a/c is not fixed and mine is turned off. i'm the queen of fans right now. it's like being in a wind tunnel LOL it is supposed to stay this hot for maybe the rest of the week? and no rain is really in sight. when a storm does come it will be a biggie - lots of thunder and lightning because of the extreme heat.
i think you and i are keeping home depot afloat in these troubled financial times. how long have you lived in your house to now be fixing things up so beautifully?
i think the site must have been down over the weekend. i tried mutiple times to get on one way or another and always got error messages.
and i missed everyone!!!!!!
