I work 1-9 today, which means I only spend 1-5 at my desk. So, not sure I'll have my desk quite to the state I'd been hoping for by the end of the day, but oh well.

I was going to come in earlier today, but I decided to spend the morning at home. I accomplished a few things - washed and put away about half the dishes, cleaned and vaccuumed the living room, folded a small bit of laundry. And, caught up on a couple hours of TiVo. I'm so glad for the start of the new season so that I have more things to watch, but sometimes, it's a bit overwhelming. I should probably cut some shows out. Hmm. But what would they be? Oh well. I'll deal with that later.

Anyway, the house is almost ready for company, but I'm going to have to do a few more things when I get home tonight. Sigh. The work is never done.

My sister arrives tonight - well, tomorrow morning, to be exact, some time in the wee hours. It will be nice to have her around for a while - but I don't know what Leah will do when she's not busy counting the days til she gets here, lol.

Speaking of Leah, her teacher, Mary R, has a new helper in her MWF morning classes - Angie. Dude. WTF. They must be really hard up for money for her to apply for that job. I mean, seriously, wouldn't that be uncomfortable, to have your husband's ex-wife's best friend for a boss? I'd think so. Certainly would cut down on co-worker chit-chat, I'm sure!! Anyway, she starts Tuesday, so we'll see how that goes.

I wanted to rearrange furniture this weekend - move my couch and entertainment center downstairs, and turn the upstairs into more of a sitting room. But, I don't know if I will or not - if Terry really did move in, I think I'd want the separation that having the TV upstairs would give me. So, we'll see.

Ok, off to work.

Ok, from now on only those of you who send me a specific request are going to get my mad libs. Party poopers. LOL.

Well, it's a far cry from the 448 dozen jlgard and her family made last weekend, but mostcurious and I didn't do too bad. We made a nice variety of things (though seemed to use and awful lot of peanut butter and chocolate!) and it all seems to taste good. Most of all, we had fun doing it.

Friday afternoon I had a job interview. I think it went fairly well, but they are interviewing til Wednesday, and one can never tell about these things, can one?

Anyway, Catherine and Brian got here about the time I got home from the interview. We made a couple things that night, got the kids settled, ran to wal-mart. Saturday morning the Luminarias sang from 9-12 in Brandon. Catherine brought the girls out for a while, then came back in for lunch and naps. When I got back home, we started baking. We ordered pizza for supper and pretty much spent the whole day in the kitchen. This morning we finished a couple things, and divied up the goodies. They left around 11 or something.

Meanwhile, Austin had a hockey game in town, so they swung by and picked up Leah, giving me some time alone for a while. We met up after the game, did a bit of shopping, ate, and then they left. Now Leah's taking a much needed nap and I'm debating doing some much needed laundry. Perhaps picking up and vaccuuming. We'll see if I get to that.
