Congrats Codi and David

Congrats to Codi and David. Wedding was this Saturday the 20th. I had a great time, and I remember most of the night, always a plus. I didn't get pictures like I normally would as I had abandoned all my personal belongings. My mom ended up with my phone and keys. She was at home in Jones Sunday morning before I woke up at the hotel downtown before I realized. Thank goodness for friends who will drive you to Jones. Thanks Kendra. Sunday was recovery.

Downloaded the new iPhone software update. And it's not as impressive.
It said mms messging would be availibale and it's not supported by AT&T yet. Hopefully the end of the summer is what the website said. Well that's something to look forward to now. I can now forward text messages and copy and paste. Those are nice features.

Work softball team

We had our first practice last night. Thank goodness it's only a 1 day tourney and not a league! We had fun, but it's more bad news bears than all stars.

Boiling Springs Stat Park

Last weekend Kendra, J and I went camping at Boiling Springs State Park near Woodward. We had an awesome time. The springs aren't anything special but the weekend away was nice. The raccoons tried to eat our food but only made off with a bag of chips.

Happenings

Let's see what's been going on. The rain finally stopped and the yard got mowed. Kendra and Jeremy came over the other night and we planned a camping trip for next weekend. Kendra and I celebrated cinco da mayo low key at her house. My girl Allison was voted off of American Idol and Lil Kim was voted off Dancing With The Stars. Two what I thought were unexpected results in reality tv this week.
It's mother's day weekend and I'm out with the family in Jones right now. Later today I'll be going out to Kendra's moms.
June will be a busy month. Camping, wedding and Chelsea coming for a visit. We're planning a party for that last weekend when she's here at the Early's. A party for Dino being smarter than us and only 1 year away from her masters. That is awesome!
I think that's about all nothing too exciting. Later,

Weekend

The weekend had it's moments. Friday started with whatnwas almost the end for one of dad's goats. The old billie had gotten out and so had the dogs. The three dogs had teamed up on the goat and nearly killed it by the time dad got home from work. The goat has survived and he was nursed back all weekend. Saturday it rained, again, but the family headed to the Oklahoma History Museum. It was the premier of the rock n roll music in Oklahoma exhibit. It was interesting and the rest of the museum is something to go and see too. Then we ate a small Itialian restaurant by the capitol. That was better than expected seeing as we were the only car in the parking lot. Sunday grandma and grandpa got back from their trip to Florida and we got caught up on all the happenings. Then out to dinner and some shopping then too. With the weekend spent in Jones all weekend, I had a lot to do around the house today. Dishes, vaccum, sweep, laundry, clean the fish tank and give the dogs a bath. I got all accomplished this evening and even had time to go to wal mart and get a few things until payday. It did help that I left work at 4 today. I had an email from my sup this morning that I had fifty mintues of comp time that I have to use before the pay period ends. I also found out today that last month I processed 82 applications all timely. Which apparently is a big feat, I just felt I was doing my job. As I wok for the state and monitary compensation is not going to happen, I get to wear jeans all month. It's a nice little bonus. We also got an email today from the employee association that the state is thinking about moving to biweekly pay. And as most any government work, it will take a an act of congress. The plan that is being proposed and expected the pass, will create a lag of 2 weeks in pay while they transition to the biweekly system. It's like starting a new job and having to wait on that first check. So they are now trying to find ways to avoid the lag. Cashing in vacation time, building up comp time to cash in or whatever, I just hope they give us plenty of notice. Or, better yet, figure out a way to avoid the lag that I don't have to mess with it and just happens. Well that's about all. Hopefully the rain will hold off for the rest of the week, the yard is looking a mess and needs to be mowed. Later,

Work, work, work

So, I've been working, what's new. I have been able to get really
caught up and do some extra work that I never get to for the last week
of the month. It makes me wonder a little if maybe I forgot some work.
I bet I will find out soon if I did.
Little Buddy is still on the
Europe trip and has planned a country out. I think she should have been
a travel agent. She should look into that. She's all about finding
things for us to do, and how to get around and where to stay. It will
be awesome.
I am over this swine flu panic BS. I mean really, I
heard on some news (that's a great citation I know, but it's the best I
have right now, I can't remember and I'm burnt) that the normal
seasonal flu kills nearly 1300 Americans every year. This swine flu has
so far killed 1 child in America. As tragic as even the one death is, I
think it is a little much to lead in the news with pandemic warnings.
Another news program (here I go again) said that the masks people are
buying like no other, are ineffective as the virus is smaller than what
the masks can protect against. The best advise is to just bedeli gent in washing your hands, practicing good hygiene
and covering your mouth when you cough. I also like how the President
started his press conference tonight with those same comments. It's
good for us all to have a reminder of the 1st grade, come on kiddos
wipe your snotty noses.
I am waiting to see what all this rain
does to the yard. I planted some grass seed, but I would imagine that
got washed away. I am hoping some stayed and will take off soon.
Although I will need to mow sooner than I would like with the rain.
Dina andCaynen are growing a garden with tomatoes and other veggies.
That is a good idea, I hope they can make it grow. I wish them luck, I
was glad I could get some seeds to sprout, they're going for a whole
garden!
My desk mate got some good news. She got a court date to
finalize the adoption process with her daughter. I am happy for her. I
hope it all goes well and she doesn't have any more surprises in the
process.
Well, that's about it, nothing much too new. Later,

That way posted twice too

Well I guess there is something wrong with the app. I'll deal with things posting twice. Oh well. Later,

Post twice

Let me test this. I'm writing my posts on my phone and using an app to upload them. When I do that it creates two post on my blog. One is just the heading and no text the other is a full post. So let me try and post this one differently and see what happens. Later,

At work

I'm really not wanting to do any work. I'm caught up. The only work that I have to do for today is for two months away. That would be getting really caught up and I'm not feeling like it.
It's raining again, go figure. At least these aren't severe. I wish a littl soap would fall on my truck and maybe wash it! That would be great! I bet my dogs are at home going crazy and ripping stuff up, also great, NOT! Hopefully they're sleeping through it actually.
Well the former owner of my house didn't come this weekend to get her stuff out of the attic. She was going out of town and with the rain she didn't make it. Oh well it's been this long I can wait.
The neighbor came over last night about 9:30 and asked for sweet popcorn. Just a tidbit of interesting info there. A little strange. Oh well not much else going on, so. Later,

Indian taco

Not sure why this wouldn't post earlier. I'll post it again.

Good weekend

I had another good weekend. Thursday Kendra and I went to the arts festival and a redhawks game. Both were a good time. The hawks even won! Friday we hung out on the patio and Codi and David came over after they had gone to the Lion King. They said that was amazing and had a good time. Saturday Kendra and I just hung out and really didn't get too much accomplished. I got the yard mowed and started on the laundry. Today, about the same finished up the laundry. I did plant some grass seed and debated all day today weather to water or not. I chose to not and luckily the rain did move in. Hopefully not too much rain though, it'll wash the seed away. The storms tonight will make good sleeping weather. A good nights sleep to get ready for the week. I hope Monday is great for everyone! Later,

Indian Taco at the arts festival. Awesome! Almost time for the Redhawks game. Eventful Thursday night.
