Life has been very hectic these past few days. I've undertaken the task of cleaning out the basement from hell. My basement is old and creepy anyway. I run a dehumidifier year round. I found out my super pooch has been using it as his dumping ground, literally. Now this is not making me real happy. He uses our old coal cellar as an emergency spot when we're not home. I just picked up on his newest trick which is why bother howling; just go to the basement. I fixed that boy's wagon and shut the basement door when we're here. I swear he's getting like some crotchety old man. So, I've been throwing things away and pine "solling" the basment. I also figured out why he wasn't going in the coal cellar. Get this...and I know this is one of his quirks....Grizzly will not go into the coal cellar if the light is burnt out. Sure enough, Joey said it's been burnt out for a couple of days. Ok...enough about my dog's business.
I put in for yet another job...in our Voc Rehab division. I put in my paperwork 6 weeks ago and figured I mustn't have qualified because I never heard a word. Monday, I was still feeling ill and looked like crap. The chief of that division came around into my cubicle and asked if I could come down for my interview in 10 minutes. I'm sort of glad I didn't know and didn't have time to fret. This is something I'm almost afraid I'll get. It would mean going back to five days a week because they don't do compressed work schedules and super long work days for me because of my bus schedule. A super big adjustment since I've had Wednesdays off for 7 years. I have no idea who put in for it. Word doesn't spread through that division or out of that division like the one I'm in now. I will know by the end of the week. It's in the Lord's hands. Either way, this I will be able to accept it.
My BF and I went to the Day's Inn last night and really had a super good time. But I did manage to watch American Idol before I ran out the door. There was a nice crowd so we got to kick up our heels and dance. He seems to be thoroughly enjoying the retired life but it's only been a couple of days.
So, who do you all think will be going this week? I'm thinking Elliott or Paris.
Well, I'm off to my basement again. I'm feeling motivated today so I'm taking advantage of the situation. I'll be back to visit everyone later. I really want to change my side bar but haven't had the time. I still have an April calendar up...yikes.. Oh well, maybe tonight............
Thanks to Lisa Jo for the great graphics I used today.

I've always wanted a basement ~ houses over here don't have them, typical I want something that's not even in this country lol :-) Had to laugh at Grizzly's story ~ dumping ground lol. And the very best of luck with the new job ~ WOW working on hump day ~ that will be a big change, but hopefully for the better :-) Glad you had a good old knees up last night ! Hopefully Ryan Seacrest is going this week ~ he gets right on my nerves. Probably cos I'm such a Simon fan ;-)
lots of love Debbie ~xxx~

A night out dancing? What's that. The last time Richard and I danced...ooh shit...no one's that old. LOL Hope you get the job if you really want it. Let us know.

I think I'm ready to retire. I may be but can't. Happy he's enjoying retirement. Well Paris went home finally. I liked her but I knew she was going this week. I'm happy that you had a great time and danced.
Chris,

I have so many tag emails to look at and i havent looked at one in days. UGH. I cant keep up. These are cute, lol. Wish i had that talent.
I hope that you are taking it easy and not doing too much house work. Glad you and your BF had a good time.
LOVE you,lisa jo

Wow did I ever hit a wrong button!! A little window popped up that said "This will delete all areas you have visited! Do you want to? Yes or No. A great big NO! Now I forgot what I was going to say!
Oh, Good luck on the new position! A seven year routine is hard to change, so I hope you love the job! Thanks for reminding me why I don't have a doggy anymore. Hope you get to feeling better soon. I used to go to Days INN in my divorced days and dance. It was fun. Last I heard it was a very different crowd there now....wilder!
Hig hugs!
