Back in the Swing

Well I'm officially back into the swing of things. Talk about getting baptized by fire though. I came home to a pile of work like you wouldn't believe. You know how you see stacks of papers on the desks in cartoons, well this was like that but for real. I'm the only person at my place of employment that knows this particular job so it waited for me and continued to grow during my absence. Then when I got back, my receptionist was let go and that made life even more dandy. I'm now working with a temp, and I have no patience for temps. When I left work Friday, my comment was "I have to leave now before I kill you." Makes me wonder if she'll have the nerve to talk to me Tuesday.

A three day weekend is just what the doctor ordered. I went out with my neighbor last night and was re-united with my old friend Ouzo. Yes, I love that Grecian aphrodisiac....and it loves me too. You should have seen my moves out on the dance floor. I'm sure it was a sight to behold and would have made Travolta completely proud.....good grief. The nice thing is, I don't get hangovers with Ouzo so today has been a rather productive day. Anyway, summer went out with a bang.

One more day of R&R before hitting it again. I wish a special someone had some time to play this weekend but because of a busy schedule, my little spoon will just have to stay in the drawer until a better hour. Happy Labor Day all. Hope you get some much needed rest.

Uuuuuuuugggggghhhhhhhh!!!!!!

I can't sleep and I have to go to work in 8 hours! I'm still in vacation mode and can't seem to kick it. This is going to be a rough Monday guys. Might want to check in via email every now and again to make sure I'm not slobbering on my keyboard.

Another big thanks to my brother and his family for making our week so fabulous. I owe you one man. P.S. The Bento Rocks!! I owe you for that too...what a loser I am!! Totally spaced that one.

Ok, I'm gonna try again. Somebody rock me to sleep with a real rock or sumpin!!

Oregon Fun

Queen Mamajama and crew

We are having so much fun on the Oregon coast. I can't tell you how needed this trip was. The kids are having a blast exploring the beaches and finding agates, starfish, crabs and other neat treasures. Thanks to my bro and his wife for making this such a memorable time............

Fyreman Bro & The Mrs.

Almost There

So we're getting ready to hit the happy trail tomorrow night to go see the fam in OR. It's been so long since we've been there and I can't wait. My brother has requested huckleberries and I'm hoping he'll trade me some of those fine Oregon blackberries for the tasty morsels I'm bringing him. Gonna hit the Farmer's Market Saturday morning and get some fresh ones.

This is a much needed time for R&R and a chance to see those that I love. I'm looking forward to salt water taffy, agate searches, a local brewery maybe, good grub (Doug and I can be wicked in the kitchen) and just some good ole fun.

Happy Friday!!!!
