Life update

I know I have been MIA for a few weeks. Life is hectic, as usual. Still mainly consisting of work, eat, sleep, repeat. (I feel like a shampoo bottle - Lather, rinse, repeat).

We had a highlight with some visitors recently. My friend from High school stopped by with her parents on their way to spring break in Florida. It was great to have something besides work to focus on and great company to hang out with. It also forced us to finally buy a propane tank for our grill so we could grill out.

I also decided that I work too much, and needed a break, so I flew up to Indy this weekend to see my high school girlfriends and surprised some of them at a baby shower. It was a great time! Reminds me how far away Georgia really is and how consumed we have been down there. I can't believe we've been there 6 months already!! One good thing about this weekend was that I did not have any dreams about Units coming goff the production line and I didn't wake anyone up calling out model numbers of our units. (Yes, my husband has heard me do this)

Things seem to be slowing down a bit at work for both Bob and I. We finally see a light at the end of the tunnel, it is faint, but it is there.....

I'll try to pick up my blogging activity about more of my random thoughts. Hope the rest of you are thawing out from what I hear was a pretty cold winter.

Counting Eggs

I went to breakfast today with some friends in Indianapolis. When the waitress came to the table, this was our conversation:

Me - 'I would like the 'two egg' plate scrambled'

Waitress - 'Our egg plates are actualy two egg plates, the 1 egg plate comes with 2 eggs, the 2 egg plate comes with 4 eggs'

Me - (in my head) 'Why on earth do you write it on the menu that way? Is that normal? Why be cryptic about it? Why not call it what it is? How many times do you have to explain that to people? This is very odd'

Me - (out loud) 'Well, I'll have the one egg plate then, scrambled'

Things I don't understand

1. Valet keys. They key I have for Bob's car is the valet key. That means it does not open the trunk. (Very frustrating when you have your hand full of groceries, it's raining, and you need to put them away...but that's not why I am writing). All I had to do was open the driver door and pull the trunk release. It hits me, that is the same thing a valet can do. So the Valet key does not keep the guy in the red vest from getting into your trunk....it just makes you feel special because you have a valet key.

Morning funny

Bob and I were at Walmart this morning and heard the following over the loudspeaker.

'Customer needs assistance in Stationary, they need some baloons blow'd up'

That made me smile.

Glade Plug Ins

Have you seen the commercial yet for the new two sented plug ins? She claims to be so surprised that the new double scented plug in last 60 days! Twice as long as the other air fresheners.

The last time I checked, when you add two thing that last 30 days together.....drum roll.....they will last 60 days. I think that is called the cumulative property, or simple addition.

Things that frustrate me

1. My Hair is thick. I go through ponytail holders, hair circles, rubber bands, like they are disposable. It is too loose if I wrap it around twice and my hair falls out. When I wrap it around three times, it holds my hair, but I end up stretching it out so it doesn't hold my hair any more, or breaking it.
