Inauguration Day of a Different Sort

Mrs. C. has finally started her own blog! Please stop by and say "hi" to her. You'll like her. I know you will. I've liked her since I met her in what... 6th grade? Wow. That means I've known her just about forever.

(All that whining to get you to start your own blog finally paid off, I see...)

Various and Sundry

I had my 4 week weigh-in and fat percentage testing yesterday evening. I gained 2 pounds, and my body fat went up by 0.6 percent. My lean body mass, however, has increased by 0.1. I'm bummed that the numbers don't jive with the fact that my pants are getting loose.

Claire: "Are you going to eat my brain?"
Sylar: "Claire... that's disgusting!"

I win. I told my kids he didn't eat their brains...

I think for my future Wordless Wednesdays, I'll just put a blurb at the bottom of the picture to let you know where I took it. Or stole it from. :)

I'm getting up the guts to talk to the Manager Who Doesn't Like Me to see if he'd be willing to allow me to swap jobs with another guy in our department. This guy wants a higher paying job, and I want to be able to do his job from home. I figure it would be worth the paycut, if I'm allowed to work from home. Since it's not currently an "at home" position, it will take some convincing. Wish me luck-- I'm going to try to talk to him on Thursday.

And the most amazing news of all: My best friend Carol just found out she's expecting baby #4. What's so amazing about this, you ask? Well, she has some major medical problems that tend to mean you can't get pregnant. And regardless of this fact, plus the fact that birth control obviously didn't do its job, she is now expecting. The jaw-dropping component to this is that her youngest child is currently 15.

Can you even imagine???

I Rock!

My chalk drawing took first place yesterday. Sweet! Now I get to choose from a handful of places where to get my gift certificate to... maybe Mimi's Cafe. I lovelovelove their corn chowder!

Now to decide what to draw for the next summer party-- I support the computers at two locations, and the other location is having their party next week. The girls think I should do a mermaid, but I'm not so sure that would be a good idea, considering the limited colors I have with the kiddie chalk. Ideas?

Jen, the sunflowers are for you!

Memememe!

Jen tagged me to do a couple of memes. So without further ado, here we go!

The rules are as follows:

1. Link back to the person that tagged you.
2. Post these rules on your blog.

4. Tag six people at the end of your entry.

Six unimportant things about me:

• I have about 26 mosquito bites right now.
• I know what offsides is in soccer.
• I don't embarrass easily.
• I have a heart on my keyboard made of wax from a little BabyBel cheese.
• I freeze to death more in the summertime because of air conditioning.

And to heck with tagging six other people. I'm rebellious. (But that's an important thing about me to remember...)
