Taxing Thursday WLS Express

It's TAX day and I'm wide awake, so I guess I get to drive the TRAIN this morning!! 

ALL ABOARD!!!!

I wish someone would please tell me why I'm not sleeping, it's 3:30am and here I am...bright-eyed and bushy-tailed!   It's been a trying week, but I'm muddling through the best I can.  Haven't made a whole lot of progress in the packing department, but there has been some. I have a large load of stuff to take to the Resale store this afternoon. It feels good to have part of the stuff I dragged to AL NOT comng back home with me. I have opened boxes and stood there thinking, "What was I thinking?" YIKES!  I have dragged some of this stuff from Houston, to Albuquerque, to San Marcos and then to Alabama.  I just don't know why.  Well, it's NOT going to be moved again, that's for sure!!! I've got much to do today and guess I'll get a jump-start on the day.

Hope everyone has a good one.         

It may sound stupid but use a timer. Set a timer for 15 minutes at a time and you'll be surprised at how much u can get done.

This is the day I have been waiting for since January 4th!!!  And thank goodness it is finally here.  Life begins again the moment that I leave work today (by 4:00 pm) and I am on the way to the airport because I have a date with that big bird named Delta at 650pm, and I wont be back to the office until Tuesday, April 20th!!!  Life will be sooo good this weekend!!!  I get to be with my Lost Txn and I get to meet lots of new people at Joe's Crab Shack on Saturday night...Thanks Bryan!!! 

Yes, Mari...I am go happy to jump on this train today!!!

I know you are excited! Wish we could be there!

Looking forward to seeing you sat! I will be there late but will get there!

GOOD MORNING. Mari- I hope you get a nap today. I fell asleep and didn't set my alarm. At 3:40 I rolled over and woke up enough to realize I hadn't set it so I sat right up to check the time. Since I wake at 4am, I just went ahead and stayed up because I was awake by then.
Today we're having a luncheon to celebrate our receptionist's 20th anniversary with the agency. A coworker and I are in charge of April birthday celebration so we're going to do that today as well. I made 2 apple crisps and he's going to bring a cake. I'll head over at break and get some vanilla ice cream too. I had fun making the crisps. I do like to bake-just rarely have time or some reason to bake. The first thing I ever learned to make was lemon chess pie which I don't like but I made it for my dad and grandma.

Hugs and prayers to all that need them. I hope everyone has a great day!

Good Morning Train!

WOOOHOOO for Thursday!  I'm working from home tomorrow so that makes today seem even better!  LOL  And yes, I'm going to go in and get my blood drawn... sigh... it's not that I don't like it or can't stand needles, maybe it's just that I'm afraid to find out whether my labs or good or not... LOL 

Prayers are going up for all that need them!

It's sing-a-long with Jim time!  Jim Croce that is... here's Bad Bad Leroy Brown to get us started!

Well the South side of Chicago
Is the baddest part of town
And if you go down there
You better just beware
Of a man named Leroy Brown

Now Leroy more than trouble
You see he stand 'bout six foot four
All the downtown ladies call him "Treetop Lover"
All the men just call him "Sir"

And it's bad, bad Leroy Brown
The baddest man in the whole damned town
Badder than old King Kong
And meaner than a junkyard dog

Now Leroy he a gambler
And he like his fancy clothes
And he like to wave his diamond rings
In front of everybody's nose
He got a custom Continental
He got an Eldorado too
He got a 32 gun in his pocket for fun
He got a razor in his shoe

And it's bad, bad Leroy Brown
The baddest man in the whole damned town
Badder than old King Kong
And meaner than a junkyard dog

Now Friday 'bout a week ago
Leroy shootin' dice
And at the edge of the bar
Sat a girl named Doris
And oo that girl looked nice
Well he cast his eyes upon her
And the trouble soon began
'Cause Leroy Brown learned a lesson
'Bout messin' with the wife of a jealous man

And it's bad, bad Leroy Brown
The baddest man in the whole damned town
Badder than old King Kong
And meaner than a junkyard dog

Well the two men took to fighting
And when they pulled them off the floor
Leroy looked like a jigsaw puzzle
With a couple of pieces gone

And it's bad, bad Leroy Brown
The baddest man in the whole damned town
Badder than old King Kong
And meaner than a junkyard dog


Ya'll have a great day my friends!

I love Jim Croce and own all his albuns. Yes, the old fashioned vynil albums! I even have a turntable!!

Good luck with your labs, Karen.  I need to make my appt for another round also, it's that time.  I'm putting it off, bad Dana :).  I'll try to call next week when hopefully work settles down a litte or I get the balls to find out the results.
