I don't have a specific topic of the day, so I'll just ramble away for anyone who wants to listen, read, whatever...First of all, my sister in law e-mailed me last night. She just graduated high school and is on a cruise and since she went to Margaritaville, she let me know that she thought of me. I turned margarita green with envy. It's only 8 am and she has me totally craving a margarita. That would make for an interesting work day. LOL!
I am totally enjoying this whole blogging thing and have found some really interesting blogs that I have linked to on the sidebar. Check them out if you get a chance. I am still trying to figure out how to post pics from my photobucket account onto here, but when I finally get it, I'll post some pics.
I called my brother yesterday (Scuba Steve) and we planned a trip for Saturday. We are taking Garrison to the zoo, the Biedenharn Gardens, and to a picnic in the park. Hannah (aka Hooker....although she's a good kid, for some reason the nickname stuck) might go with us. That is, if she wakes up in time and doesn't have a day of sun and guys at the lake planned. Oh, to be a teenager again. **sigh**
I picked up Garrison's professional 1st birthday pics yesterday and they turned out so well. Lucy and Robert do such a great job! Funny story though, I took him for the pics on his birthday. The next day we went to a co-worker's wedding that they were also photographing, so they got some pics of us there as well. So, when I ordered pics, I ordered some studio ones and 3 shots from the wedding. One of the shots was an awesome pic of Garrison laying on my shoulder that I ordered in a black and white 8X10. When the pics came in, I had a beautiful black and white 8X10 of the happy couple cutting the cake...lol! They had typed in the wrong number when ordering, so that one should be in next week.
Last night I decided to take back control of my bed (sharing it with a toddler leads to too many bruises-on me, not him) and made Garrison go to sleep on his own in his own bed. I forgot how awesome sleeping without a foot in my mouth or a finger in my ear could be. He was so good about doing that before he got sick and was in the hospital and a week of sleeping curled up to mommy spoiled him rotten!
Well, I guess I'd better get to work and get our trivia questions put up for the day. I organize our office trivia tournament and we have almost 50 players now. Not bad considering we only have about 110 employees!
Finally, a request. If anyone can help me do the following, PLEASE e-mail me! I will be eternally grateful!!

Melissa-Mom to LittleMan (4/04); wife to LuckyHusband; full-time toxicologist; full-time housekeeper; full-time domestic laundromat manager (washes all the clothes); full-time domestic finance manager (pays all the bills and yells at husband for spending too much money on fishing stuff); and Keeper of the Cheerios. Lives in a tiny town; spends tons of time with family; reads; enjoys crafts. Can change a diaper, fill a sippy cup, and put on a toddler's shoes in 15.4 seconds flat, all while calculating the impact of petroleum hydrocarbons to a nearby surface water body (watch for me in the Toddler Olympics on CBS this fall). Addicted to Dr. Pepper; Kit Kats; and pasta. To spot me in a crowd: I'm the one with frizzy messed-up hair, smeared graham crackers on my shirt; huge purse with a diaper peeking out, toddler on her hip, and camera in hand at all times.
