Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad! I think this is their 47th!! That is amazing - especially in this day and age - it is very rare to have parents who have stayed together. I consider myself very lucky to have them for parents.
Work was good today. I got in a little later than usual - I had time though to go through all the many piles on my desk. I feel like I actually accomplished something. Now - if you look at my desk it doesn't look like I did much because it's still rather cluttered - but I was busy all day and I definitely got caught up.
After work I got to do the lovely job of grocery shopping. Through out the day L kept texting me to add things to the list. There was an accident on I90 so it took longer to get home than usually so I didn't get to the grocery store until 630. I was done and back home by 730 - of course L called once during that time to see if I was almost done - she was starving :P I get home and does she offer to help bring the groceries up.......offer to help unload the groceries.......nope she just starts digging through the bags and eating everything I just bought. I swear - if it's all gone in a week she's going to just have to starve cuz I am not buying any more - and I don't get paid for another week and a half. I was going to bake tonight but I didn't get done unloading and putting stuff away until after 800 - maybe I'll do the baking tomorrow.
I just finished reading another really good book - The Secret Lives of Cee Cee Wilkes. I am going to send this one down to Lindsay - I think I am her bookstore! lol! I came across this book when I was wandering Target - it's marked as one of their Target Book Club books. I have purchased a few of their book club books and they have all been good reads. I definitely recommend this one.
Well - it's 10 and I need to get to work on time tomorrow - I have a 500 appt so I need to leave work at 400.

History Is Made
I couldn't post yesterday - I was just too upset after the football game - at least I think it was a Football Game - the Cal Bears showed up for it but I think the Cougs got lost on their way to the stadium. That was the most embarrassing game I have ever watched. They made history - It was the worst lost in school history - Yeah Team!
The other Cougs won - BYU - Yeah Jason! It was sad though at the end - the Huskies made a possible game tying touchdown with seconds left - it was the QB that ran it in to the end zone - he was excited and tossed the ball - the refs called him for excessive celebration. Come On - he wasn't jumping around and getting in the face of anyone - he just made a touchdown with seconds left in the game!! The refs gave them a 15 yard penalty on the extra point instead of on the kick off - the kick was blocked - the Huskies ended up losing by 1 point. Sad Sad Sad.
Muppet got a nice haircut yesterday - it's a little short - in the middle of the night she came up by my head and was shivering so I put her under the blanket. She usually doesn't like being under anything so I know she was really cold.
Earlier in the day she was a WSU Fan - she was wearing her Cougar Football Jersey!
Well - tomorrow starts another week. Work Work Work!

Comments!!
I never know when something that I write is going to hit a nerve with a reader. If you have not read yesterday's blog and comments you really should.
Wow - I think I definitely hit a nerve with "anonymous". When you read the comment you can just feel the anger and venom flowing from it. He/She has some definite animosity towards me being called "Great Aunt". Either this person is part of the Householder Family (the part that doesn't like me which I think there are either 2 or 3 of them) or they are friends of the 2 or 3 that have carried a hatred for me for about 17 years now - about time to let it go don't you think. I still have yet to figure out exactly what it is that I did to piss them off so much. Carrying all of that anger/hatred around can't be good for you - maybe "Anonymous" needs to seek counseling and get some Psychological help.
Anyways - back to being called Great Aunt. I would never just give myself that title. L's Uncle Chris - who is the baby's Grandpa - called me to let me know about the birth of his first Grandchild. I was surprised and happy that he called to share this information with me. While we were talking I was giving him a hard time about being a Grandpa - saying how we were just too young for that to be happening. He then says to me - "Well, you're a Great Aunt now." I was kind of quiet and he said that in his house he considers me his children's Aunt and that would make me a Great Aunt now.
So - "anonymous" - you may want to get all of your facts straight before you go off on someone - if you are that upset about me being called Great Aunt then you really need to take it up with Topher's Grandpa.

Lucky L
Update on Lucky L - I am calling her that because only someone with her kind of luck could have achieved the following: Last year at this time she got a job working full-time at the daycare - in February she was fired due to calling in "sick" too many times and not being reliable - 2 weeks later they bring her back on part-time - she then gets some extra hours during the summer - and as of this week she is back on full-time. No one else could have gone from being fired to having their job back in less than a year. I swear - things just always seem to fall in to place for that girl and she never seems to have to endure any type of consequence for any amount of time. Dang!
I became a Great Aunt this week - at least some people on L's Dad's Family consider m
e that. My brother-in-law Chris became a Grandpa on Tuesday when his oldest daughter - my niece by marriage even though I am no longer married - had a baby boy! Chris is my age and it seems so weird to think of someone from my group being a Grand Parent. The baby's name is Christopher Neil Thomas Beckitt - they are going to call him Topher. I went shopping today for a baby gift to send. Chris is a UW Husky and I found some really cute Husky Onsies - yes, this Coug actually touched and purchased some Purple and Gold. I hope they like them.
Tonight on Big Brother is an eviction night and a new HOH competition - wouldn't you know it - my TV Cable went out!! Luckily read the Blog so I can find out what happened but I was looking forward to watching it. It is so quiet around here without the TV for background noise - I may just have to go to sleep seeing as I have nothing else to do.

Happy Birthday To Me!
44 years ago today at 945 am I was born after putting my Mom through 10 hours of Labor! I guess I have always been a little bit stubborn! I told my Mom that it's because I loved her so much that I always wanted to be with her!
My birthday today was the best one I have had in a long time! First I got text messages from both of my nieces and my sister - birthday wishes from Texas! When I got to work there were signs posted around the department wishing me a Happy Birthday! BJ - my Starbucks buddy - treated me to my hot chocolate today and then I got flowers at work from my parents. They are beautiful - they are still at work so I will try to get a picture of them tomorrow so I can post it. Later on in the afternoon we had department treats - cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory!! Good thing all food has 0 calories on your birthday!
Then came the best part - I knew that Lydia had something planned because I had to be at my house by 500 - but she wouldn't give me any hints so I have been very curious for a week now! So Lyd picked me up at 500 and we headed out - but we didn't go very far - she pulled into the Klahanie Shopping Center. She said I had to know now where we were going but I had absolutely no clue. She parked the car and I followed her to - Moon Lodge Spa!! She had scheduled me for a massage!! I haven't had a massage in I don't know how long. I so needed one to - this body was feeling very tired after 44 years of living! It was the best one - I felt so relaxed - and could have just slept right there! If you have never had one I highly recommend it - and if you live in the area I highly recommend calling Moon Lodge. I may need to make this a regular thing! After we were done we headed to Cucina Cucina for dinner - I had Lasagna with Italian Meatballs - then we split an Apple Pie Ala'Mode for dessert.
Overall - this was just an absolutely incredible day. I am now going to go relax in my bedroom and sleep a relaxing sleep.

September Already?!?
I am having a hard time believing that it is September already - where did August go?!? For that matter -what happened to summer - I don't remember having one! Today it was 54* when I got up - not summer! I bet the leaves start changing colors any time now. And didn't I just have a month end at work - it's month end again - time to work late.
I can't remember if I have blogged about the gal that works for me - not going to name her but those who work with me know who I'm talking about. Anyways - one of her jobs is to make the deposits at the bank and at month end that means that every check that is received on the last work day of the month has to be deposited. Friday was that day and the mail was running late - it didn't get delivered until 4:00 - no problem because the bank is open until 6:00 - but this gal - who never works late at all even though she has been talked to about it by me - comes to my desk at 4:00, tears in her eyes, saying "The mails not here and I got in at 730 this morning so I should be going home." I'm not sure what she expected me to say but I don't think it is what I said - "Well, it's month end and sometimes you have to work overtime to get everything done." Yeah - she wasn't happy. I should also let you know that she had been on vacation for a week and a half and while she was gone I did the deposits for her - it doesn't take as long as she likes to try and make it and it's not exactly difficult. Guess I will be having yet another little chat with her.

Labor Day
Ah Labor Day ~ A Day For Labor! I have spent the day cleaning out my closet and getting my room back in order. It's looking pretty good! I used yesterday as my lay around and do nothing day so today was the chores day. L pretty much used the whole weekend as a lay around do nothing day. She's spent her time playing guitar hero and nothing else. Then last night she had had enough of being "stuck" in the house all weekend and decided to take it out on me. She wanted to take y car to Jenny's house because she had just called and L wanted out of the house. Of course, the answer was no and we all know how that answer sits with L. She just had to argue about it and wanted to know why - I didn't bite though and just said I didn't owe her any explanations because the car was mine and the answer was no. She then yelled at me and called me a "Bipolar Whore". Ahh - can you feel the love! She just really knows how to get on my good side!
Today has been better - mostly because she has either been in her room or playing guitar hero so I haven't seen much of her. About an hour ago I realized it had been really quiet so I looked in the living room - not there - went in to her bedroom - not there - Where the Hell did she disappear to? I sent her a text "Where Did You Go?" - she sent back "I'm With My Friend Jes." Hmmmm - don't know who that is and so nice of her to just say bye or something when she left. Oh well - that's just me expecting her to change and have consideration for others - never gonna happen.
On a happy no
te - here are a couple of pics of Muppet and Buffy while I was cleaning my room! Do you think Muppet was a little relaxed!! LOL!!
Hope you all enjoyed the long weekend!
