I finally uploaded some new pics to photobucket! Yeah me!!
Here's a picture of Hannah (aka Hooker) and Garrison beside her new car....

This is the really cool hood:

This is the back end...I think it looks cool!:

I also have pics from Garrison riding horses:

And here is a pic of one of my flowers using the macro mode suggested by Rick Lee. I wish I were as talented as he is!

We went swimming for the first time this summer! We went to a neighbor's pool this afternoon and it was wonderful! Garrison loves the water and even tried sticking his head under! Boy was he surprised! He sputtered and coughed for about 5 minutes afterward!

I have been in a much better mood lately. I was so excited to be able to do some "mindless" work today. I had lots of data entry type stuff and it was really nice to be able to kick back and enter lab results for most of the afternoon!

I filled out paperwork today to enter Garrison in the Annual Peach Festival Diaper Derby! We are going to kick butt!! If I'm already this competitive about a diaper derby, I'll probably be a coach's worst nightmare when baseball and basketball start for the poor kid in a few years!

I started reading the Nanny Diaries yesterday. It's pretty good so far. I'm excited to get further into it.

Okay, here's the interesting story of the day....yesterday was a hellacious day at work to say the least. I busted my butt Tuesday writing a letter for the boss to take to a meeting and never got any comments back from him. So, I e-mailed him to ask if it needed any touch ups and he said he'd come and discuss it with me.
So, later on he came in and we discussed it and when we were done he told me he had one more thing. He said that my internet usage was the highest in the company and that since my work had been a little slow lately that didn't look good and that I needed to cut back. I do surf at work, but was surprised to be top in the company. (I figured out today that my computer had MSN messenger when it was put in a couple of months ago and that stays on all day long....good lord)
Then he told me that the bosses had noticed the Alt+Tab trick. I told him that I didn't know what he was talking about, and I was being honest. He said "you know...alt tab". I assured him that I was clueless and he told me it will close out a window on your computer and that he and the other bosses had noticed me using it when they came in my office. OH PLEASE!! I am by no means a computer whiz...I had no idea this even existed....but I should thank him for the tip :)
He also complained about the fact that I keep my office door shut. This is because by the pure luck of the draw I ended up with the office beside the men's restroom. Oh happy fucking day! So, I get to hear men piss, shit, spray air freshener, fart, the whole fucking nine yards. How horribly unethical of me to not want to hear that shit! I guess I should have told him that the final straw was when he went in there (for the millionth time a day) and apparently took a dump and felt the need to tell whoever was in there with him how badly it stunk and sprayed air freshener for a solid minute afterwards! And I'm not exaggerating...I hear all this from my desk!
So, I guess I will keep my door open and hopefully crank up the CD player loud enough to drown out the plop, plop, piss, piss and then sue them in 10 years for work related hearing loss when I can't hear a damn thing!
Well, I'll leave you with that lovely mental picture.
Have a great night!
