Surprise...

...And Ashton Kutcher pops out yelling, "You've been punk'd!" Or at least that's what we were waiting for all day today at work. It felt like one of those days when everyone's goal was to drive the accounting department insane.

Let's ask 106 silly questions and call again and ask to speak to someone different only to hear the same response. Hmmm... Still don't like that one? Let's try a different department. Oh guess what? They think the same thing. Ha ha ha! Just kidding!

I would write down some examples, but I don't think I can... I think for the first time ever, I felt stressed out at work. It's okay though. I know tomorrow will be better.

Girl Scout Cookies

It's that time of year again!!!

My future business major

Yesterday, Diamond came up with this great idea of wanting to start her own business. Not 5 or 10 years from now, but today! So she disappeared into her room and later came out with an atache case filled with stuff.

"Mom, I'm going to start a massage business."

She opens up her case and in it is the following (and these are her words):

• Blanket - to lay on during massages
• Lotion - to make your back nice and smooth
• Signs with hours of operations... including holiday hours (She is open from 11 am to 11 pm on regular schedule)
• A light in case there is no power
• Appointment book (she had her first client today at 6...and it wasn't me)
• And prayer beads to pray for good business (she prayed right before giving her first massage)

And here is the best part... She was charging 25 cents for a 5 minute massage and $1 for a 10 minute one. After consulting with her financial advisor, which would be mommy, she changed her prices to $0.50 for 5 minutes and still $1.00 for 10 but now she said she is also accepting tips. We also decided that she may need a timer so she knows exactly how much time passes by. And now she's talking about wanting to charge sales tax!!!

Where do these kids get these ideas from?! Her mind just amazes me sometimes.

Emoticons

You know what would be really cool? If this blog thing had emoticons. I like those things.

Nothing new...

So there is nothing new going on. I'm actually enjoying all this vacation time, well, not for me, but away from all the regular activities that we do. But beginning next week, we'll be back on track with our busy schedule. I'm looking forward to it.

I miss Chapter 1. I feel like I haven't seen anybody these past two weeks. It was nice having our little girl's night the other night and running into people at the mall on New Year's Day. But I still miss Chapter 1. Can't wait until Monday.

I think I'm going to head to bed early on this wonderful Friday evening. It seems I have caught what everyone else and their brother has. It's just lovely...

Happy New Year!

The first blog of the new year...

Hope everyone has a great 2008!!!

It's over

It came, five minutes passed, and now it's gone. Or at least that's how it felt. Christmas is over.

I spent Christmas eve caring for an ill child and that ill child spent Christmas day in the emergency room. My poor baby. Thank God that it's just what everyone else has. I was just so nervous because even though she is sick, she's a strong little girl and she was so scared with how she was feeling last night that she asked on her own if she could make the trip to the emergency room. But she's getting better. She just needs lots of rest that she missed out on last night.

I think I need that too.
