if only I hadn't already bought my sink and toilet this princess pink pair would be very tempting...

Here's the bit from last night:
Niece #2: "Hey Aunt Amy, you're rich, aren't you?"
Me: "No, I'm not rich."
Niece #2: "Yes you are. You have more money than we do."
Niece #1: "That's because she doesn't have three kids."
Niece #2: "Or a husband."
Niece #1: "Yeah, if Mom didn't have three kids or a husband, she'd be rich, too."
Ha ha! I just told MomH. She had a good laugh.
I haven't made it outside yet today. Yay, Lazy Me! DadH and I watched the Sportsmanship Awards earlier today and gosh darn it, I got all weepy. Too many times we just hear the bad things in sports and not all the good things that happen.
Other random things so far:
- The non-Northwest/Delta terminal in Detroit is brand new. Thank heavens. The old one was worse than a bus station. However you will still have to wait a long time for your bags. Because of this, there is now a bar in baggage claim. (Okay, I don't know if that's why but it makes sense to me.)
- BFF Kelly and I stopped yesterday at a Michigan winery on the way back to the farm. Proceeds from some of the wines go to local charities. Being a philanthropic sort, I bought a case of assorted wines. I told my parents that I was supporting the local economy and local farmers. DadH said "You'll have to drink a lot more than that." See how supportive his of my drinking habit?
- Michigan doesn't have great red wines, but the white wines are yummy (<-- that's official wine lingo, methinks).
That's as exciting as things are so far. Hope everyone is doing well. I'll need to check in with you all later because this is on dial-up and there's a clamoring for the phone lines to be open.
Catch ya later!
That title was just to remind me. I am posting from work again because I am pissed off at being here. The weekends are so nice with no stoopid mange-agement, so it disgruntled me to think of coming in today with all the usual bullshit back.
I had to fill out a sheet that we check nine zillion things in the lab like "Is there anything except cleaning agents under the sink?"
"Is there anything flammable within 18 inches of the ceiling?"
"Is there paper in the trash bags only used for biohazard materials?"
"Did you wipe your butt after using the bathroom?"
Stupid crap like that. We sign and initial and check checklists until our fingers are bloody....but that still doesn't mean anyone did anything. In fact mange-agement doesn't give a shit if anything actually gets accomplished as long as everything is signed and initialed and checked and dotted.
So, since I was in a pissy mood anyway I wrote all over the check-off sheet that there is not enough room in this ER lab to actually work. There is no room for their damn trashcans, biohazard or otherwise and the new chair they stuck in here doesn't lower down enough to actually fit my legs under the desk.
I'm sure they love all my snotty comments I write on all their bullshit paperwork. That's why I will continue to make my contributions regularly. :)
I wouldn't be so crabby if I had gone to bed when I should have last night. But, for some unknown reason I just had to start cleaning a fishtank at about 8 pm and got myself all wound up.
Now I'm just tard. Have a good day, y'all. :)
It's back to work for this gal today. Vacation was half out of this world and half a bust. During my second week I ignored obligations, laundry and grocery-buying. I caught a cold and did a lot of sitting on my ass.
Mondays are no fun. I am partially looking forward to going back to work. Scratch that. I'm heading right back into busy season and it will be mid April before I can see straight again. I know I have no right to feel this way, but I hate that I'm heading back to work today while someone else who makes my life a lot easier is on vacation this week. I absolutely refuse to begrudge them of their vacation time, but on a purely selfish level I know it will make it a tough week for me. No worries, though, this gal can power through on her own, the long days are only a little more difficult than usual.
I was sad to read yesterday that Brittany Murphy died. I want to know why it is that in all of the articles I've read they all end with Ashton Kutcher's insincere Twitter post about it? I don't get it. He uses things like "2day" in it. Not only does it seem inappropriate for Kutcher, but why on earth is it being quoted by the AP and NPR??? Anyway, back to the matter at hand, Murphy was hilarious in Clueless, but she really shined as Luanne on King of the Hill.
Send me your good thoughts today as I trudge through what will probably be two whole days of playing catch-up at the office. I can use all the help I can get!
- Dale Cooper: Denise, I would assume you're no longer interested in girls.
- Denise Bryson: Coop, I may be wearing a dress, but I still pull my panties on one leg at a time if you know what I mean.
- Dale Cooper: Not really.
Until tomorrow...have a good one!
Where the heck is my remote control?
Bonus Q: How do I manage to misplace it so often?
