~ Bits & Pieces, This & That ~

                   

What a day it was today!  Nothing went as planned.  Well, some did, but...........

 

My niece came in to work this morning for an interview.  She is going to college full time but was looking for something that paid a little bit better then the store at the mall.  Work will hire her part time so in she came.  That went great and she will start in a couple of weeks.  Never in my life have I seen someone so happy to get a 'fake' job.  LOL 

 

I called my brother in law a little after noon to see how my sister made out.  Not good.  She got sick :(  He had my other sister with her and he went to work.  She was off in lah lah land before he left to go in.  Neither of us thought she would be up to her shake.  Could ya click and light a candle for her?  She needs all the good thoughts she can get today.  Thanks!

 

About 3ish I called over there to see how she was.  I was surprised she answered the phone. 

'Hey how ya feeling?' 

Her reply, 'ok, just tired' 

 Liar!!!  'ya feel like a shake?' 

'oh yeah, just a small though'

I was stunned, but excited she felt up to it. 

 

About 4 I call my dentist to get an idea of what my portion would be for my appointment tomorrow morning.  This was the one that had to be rescheduled from back in middle of August.  The girl says, 'did you get the message?'   Well, I am at work and didn't get a message there.  Rarely do I check my machine either.  It generally can wait until I get home.  'Umm, no.  What message'  My heart is pounding and I know she is going to tell me it has to be changed again.  GRRRRR  I was right.  I explained I feel bad for the dentist but I really didn't want to have to wait yet another month.  We go 'round and 'round with days and times.  I am not at all close to the office while I'm at work and a middle of the day appointment just doesn't work well.  I hate having to use my PTO time!  I get put on hold and after a few minutes.  'Can you come now?'  So it's a bit after 4 and I make arrangements with work.  'Yeap, I'll be there in about 30 minutes'  Out the door I go. 

 

I call my sister from the car, feeling horrible.  I want her to have that shake but it just isn't going to work.  Dammit!  There's one for you Russ.  Then I call my brother in law, 'please bring her a shake'  He is stunned she is up to one, but he promised he would.  'Just a small one'  I hang up the phone and feel like a schmuck and very selfish.  Maybe I should have just said no to the dentist.  I should have taken her the shake myself.  I just wanted...........   selfish bitch I am!!!   I will make it up to her.......... some how.  I meant to call her when I got home and time got away from me.  Never happened and now it's way to late.  I will check in tomorrow. 

 

Good news of the day?  Besides my niece?  :::giggle::: about 10 days until my boys start training camp.  I am stoked!!  Also there will be an announcement later this week with details about the 'ice bowl.'  Yeap, it is confirmed.  The Buffalo Sabres will play the Pittsburgh Penguins on Jan 1, outside!  They will be using Ralph Wilson Stadium (where the Buffalo Bills play)  I can't wait!  That is one game I will not miss!  Lets hope it doesn't rain.........  No smart ass remarks from the peanut gallery... it isn't always bitter cold here :)~

 

 

I had some fall graphics that I had done, but it was way to early to post them........... today.. well probably still to soon but here ya go.  Feel free to snag as is.  Not the fanciest or the best, but what can I say.  Was messing around and this is what I ended up with.

 

Hope everyone had a good day.

 

Hugs
