Went to Mom and Dad's last weekend.  Jimmy wanted to take the boys to the tank museum.

Nothing much else is happening.  Shannon emailed asking if I wanted to go to the RennFair on Mon. if Ricky wanted to, but then emailed saying it would have to be another time.

After the hectic last weekend, I think I'll just relax and catch up on my sewing and TV viewing.

What a day at work!

Named license, Serena meeting, expand roles, items being transferred to mainframe without being in Dimensions.

Worked thru lunch.For months--nothing--now all of a sudden I have lots and lots to do.

Oh and FT lied to JM about using Sharepoint.  Still.  Tee hee.  Donna is having fun with that one. 

Dieting and exercising yet again.

Did okay today.

WTF?  I just typed a whole paragraph and this thing went whack!  I hate when that happens.

I got home last night and there was a message from JT’s mom.  She said she would call him back and ended the message with “okay?”.  When she was done, you could Ralph in the background telling her how stupid it was to ask the recorder a question.  She didn’t get it.  She just kept repeating that JT was not home, so she left the message.  He just continued to tell her the same thing.  They went around and around with this.  She kept getting more and more frustrated and finally started calling him “Stupid”.  There was like 5-7 min. of this crap on my answering machine.  Then they figured out they had not hung up the phone. 

There was ANOTHER message from StupidHead, herself.  Claims that JT and Vicki must be ‘teaming up’ on her since neither one will talk to her!  This after she told JT she never wanted to talk to him.  And ‘as if’ JT would talk to Vicki.  Apparently that tiff was over some karaoke CD that was leant to Vicki and now Chrissy wants back.  So Chrissy has ‘dissed Vicki and Vicki won’t talk to that part of the family.  Well, Stupidhead loves a crisis and if no one talks to her how can she get much enjoyment over the crisis?

Anyway, she went on to say that R. and S. are moving the ‘old folks home’ and that they will be paying twice the rent and that R. is intent on maxing out his credit cards before he moves and apparently this should be JT’s problem.

JT is trying to get out of town next week to get away from this and from Elaine.  She finally pissed him of Soooo much that he went back to Giant the same day and wrote a letter in triplicate, saying that he wants a transfer because of Elaine.

Tried to get him into Wmsburg thru Sunterra, but no go.

John asked if anybody needed training at work in the divisional meeting today.  I talked to him later about Oracle DBA training.  I told him that I did not bring it up in the meeting because I had talked it over with Donna 2 weeks ago.  He acted like it was not discussed, so I guess it’s a good thing that I brought it up.  I sent him all the particulars.

God, I’ve been tired.  Wonder if I’m getting sick.  I slept real good last night for a change, and had some lovely dreams.

First Blog entry! 

For months now I have been toying with writing my memoirs.  Not so much for anybody else to really read, but my greatgrandmother and my father have done this and it means so much to those left behind.

What is interesting, is that there have been some rather severe turning points in my life and since I have never kept a journal, when I think back on them, sometimes I wonder.  WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?  Like how could I have let the love of my life who looked like the Marlboro man in the late 60's get away? 

So, although, most of this will be totally mundane, I think I really need to do this, because I have CRS (Can't Remember Shit!).

Okay, so I found it almost IMPOSSIBLE to get up this morning.  I have not been to work since Aug. 5. 

I went to Al's Saturday with Audra.  Saturday and Sunday were delightful weather days.  Sunny, cool, breeze blowing.  We all just hung around the picnic table and wasted the whole day.

Monday Cand and I took the girls to Sandy Hook Beach.  The weather, again, was delightful.  Not too hot.  This was Audra's first beach trip and she loved it and between Candy, me and the big straw hat, she did not get sunburnt!

Tues. we took the train from Denville to Penn Station.  We went to the top of the Empire State Building.  Then we rode "the Beast".  What fun!  We got thoroughly soaked.  Poor Audra was the first to get it and she wailed! 

We then hoofed it to Grand Central Station.  Boy what a space!  I would have loved to eat at that Oyster restaurant, but not with the crowd I was with.

We then walked back to Penn Station, mostly via 5th Ave.   We saw a store dedicated entirely to Meow Mix!

Came back Wed.  Spent the night in MY bed.  Then left Thur. for the parental units in South Boston with 18 crabs in the trunk.

Audra got to ride Marsha's horse, Zeb King.  Made her day. 

Watched the opening ceremonies for the Olympics. 

Went to church!  OhMIGod! 

Came home.  Sooooo tired.  Told Audra I was tired and it would be best not to talk to me unless her hair was on fire or snakes were coming out of my butt!

Took Audra home Monday.  We were going to stop by Butler's Orchard to pick blackberries and flowers, but Butler's was closed.  Audra informed me about Tammy's Garden.  Cut flowers for her mother there and go some fresh produce.

Came home.  Made sweet, sweet, love to JT.  Cooked up a scrumptions country ham meal with fresh produce.
