Sooooo

I'm at this conference/siminar thingy with NFPA (National Fire Protection Agency) and am learning about the Life Safety Codes which pretty much makes all the rules for bldgs occupancy load and paths of eggress and all kinds of mind boggling boreing stuff. Anyway they are feeding us lunch and breakfast. We break for lunch and they hurd us into a big room with table all set real purty and stuff and at every setting there is this huge, beautifull slice of carrot cake. I love carrot cake. There was also a plate full of salad and then the main course was an absolute huge peice of steak. Everyone around the table were either state inspectors or contractors. One guy was in charge of several hangers at the airport and another guy actually built airports around the world. Needless to say I was in very impressive company. So I shared about me flipping my trailer and how I have ripped up the carpet and sealed the walls and how much better it smells now........ Just kidding but that would have really got things goin don't ya think. The table for lunch turned out to be a boasting contest between the guys cause there just happened to be a couple of ladies sitting with us. I just kept my mouth shut and let them act like the old turds they are. Hell I was fighting my demon the whole time and eyeballing that stupid carrot cake. I was victorious! Oh I can tell ya how many people can egress your stairwell in an emergency just send me the width and I'll get back to ya!

OMG you crack me up......a few comments - WOOOOOOO HOOOOOO on being victorious on the carrot cake....you rock! - I enjoy being in those company situations at times for a few reasons (1: shows that we all put our pants on 2: shows who has to show off 3: listen for best practicing on what to say and what not to say in the future) - Have you seen Mickey or Goofy yet? Have fun...good to see you on this side of the country posting so early.... hugs, Nannie

Why yes, yes I have seen Mickey and Goofy. They were at the table with me! Luv you too sweetie, Sparky P.S. I do miss my wife though. This is fun but I catch myself thinking I wish Deb was here to see this with me. I guess it's healthy for us to have seperate experiences but I just don't like bein healthy.

I miss you too... I'm doing fine just making sure papa has all his pills before I leave so he wont be fretting waiting for me to get home.. its easier to do it this way so I dont feel rushed to get home at night. I came home to SEVERAL notes WEEEEEEE!!!!! I'm turning the call block back on because 2 of them were phone calls he did good took a good note.. I told him good job papa I wrapped up the gifts I have so far so the tree looks nice and it will keep Jazmine from running around under it LOL she's not tearing it up she was "chasing" it.. and a few bulbs fell off. I had a crappy sales day yesterday so I need to have a strong weekend to make up for it!!!! OHH and I found some great stockings but didnt get them because they only had 2.. 1 says "mom's favorite middle child" and "mom's favorite youngest child" but they didnt have "oldest" so I didnt get them.. I just need stocking stuffers for the boys and they are done... 3 peeps on my side of the family... and your side and the underwood kids and Nicoles clan.. then we are done.. LOL yeah! Oh and I decided what I am getting papa.. a cassette player and I actually found one!! and a heating blanket... maybe our heat wont be on 75 when I get home from work that way Love you.. HAVE FUN!!!!

OMG....I have a Jazmine....with a 'z' Mine is a kid tho.... LOL You guys are sooo cute.

LOL funny... ours is a pit bull terrier.. she's just a wonderful dog.. little high energy and if it wasnt for the fact I fell down the stairs when it snowed last week and fractured my pelvis I would be running her everymorning in the desert.. My son brought her here with him when he came back.. now he's going in the army and I have yet another dog being left by one of my kids!! LOL

Hi Deb.. not to pry.. but I was wondering how the job thing went.. if you are still at the same one working mucho overtime.. or did you get a new one ?? merry christmas... it sounds like you have a very busy life going on there.. all the hustle and bustle.. but so glad to hear from ya

Well they hired another person who is in my role she covers one area I cover another and we help each other out with events and stuff so its actually mentally better. I am still working tons of ours but it is 4th quarter so I am hoping after the first of the year it will get better.. I am enjoying it again which is good.. Spark hates the hours though but he's good with them when my commission check hits the bank LOL Thanks for asking Rhondie.. tell Dan HI

LMAO.. I had to go back and read that one out loud to Kimmy here at work. Personally.. I always liked the man who showed me what he's got versus telling me what he's got. congratulations on the war of the carrot cake.. me on the other hand.. I'm a weakling and the cheesecake.. m&m's won have fun.. and stay warm

Rhonda Darlin if I were single and could take Papa I'd steal you away in a heartbeat ya know that? Tell him to be ever vigilant cause he's got himself a prize. Then again so do I but don't tell her cause I don't want her gettin the big head ya know! Warm is not a problem in Orlando! Crap it's kinda HOT!!!
