Bad Parents!

I just found this article on CNN.com about people leaving their pets at their foreclosed homes. Now obviously these people really don't care about their pets. There is no way that I would be able to leave mine anywhere. My pets are like my children. And I know that most people who have pets think the same way. So if you loose your house are you just leaving your children there too?

My Prediction - Update!

So it's back to work after a nice long Holiday! And there is one person in my department who is just.... what's the word I'm looking for?... well they're kind of useless. We call them the Roach and it really has a couple of reasons. They like to mooch food off everyone but never offer to buy and replace it and they mooch off your time.

So here is where my prediction comes in. The Roach will come into my office and start spilling about some drama that undoubtedly occured over the Holiday. Their phone will ring and they'll run out to catch it (because they don't want to rely on their voicemail? Maybe they don't know how to use their voicemail? Or maybe it's because it's one of their friends that they'd like to retell their drama Holiday story to) OH! And never once will they ask how my Holiday was.

I'll keep you informed.

Update November 27, 2007 - 8am

Ah! I'm so good. Well the Roach didn't come in yesterday because they had jury duty. So first thing this morning came to tell me about that. Then right into thier Turkey day with the family which surprisingly wasn't bad. And then a "well I guess I best get to work and check my email."
As soon as they left they went to someone else "HEY! So how was your Thanksgiving?" That was the Roach asking the other person. I just had to laugh because not once did this person ask how mine went.

This person irritates me so much sometimes that 2 days last week before the Holiday I was keeping up with how much time they were on the phone with friends and family or chatting with someone about non work related topics. I just don't understand how this person gets away with it. One of these days an anonymous message will appear on the bosses desk.

Thanksgiving Weekend

Well it's the day after Thanksgiving, and 3 more wonderful days of not going to work!

Yesterday was Thanksgiving and it was very small and simple. My sis came over with me and Mr. M and we cooked the Thanksgiving meal and ate and visited. Then we all laid down for the must have nap, it was great! I woke up thinking that maybe sis was up and possibly bored and she was still asleep. I went and turned on the news where they were saying we were getting a bit of bad weather, but luckily it wasn't under freezing so nothing will stick. I never saw anything bad.

I went and woke up sis and we made another plate of food. Mr. M finally got up and just went fot the dessert. Then we sat down and played Mexican Train dominoes. I really like that game, I learned it from Mr. M's mom, so when she passed I had to have her game set. We played for several hours until it was finally getting a little late. So sis grabbed a few leftovers and went home.

Mom decided not to come because her medicine is still making her sick and she never knows when she might have a bad moment and she said she would just feel more comfortable at home. I really do miss my brother though. I was really hoping to go home and see him and my nieces. I was just thinking to myself that it's been a few years since I've seen them. I had a hotel booked and everything but money just isn't good right now so that idea was cancelled. I doubt I'll be able to see them for Christmas either. Maybe sometime in the summer might work...

I hope that everyone had a great and safe Thanksgiving, where ever you are.

Pet Peeve - State Flags

Okay so here's another one of my pet peeves and I saw it yesterday.

Regardless of which State you live and if you've chosen to fly your State flag you should learn how to fly it correctly. Everyone (in the United States at least) knows how to fly the U.S. flag correctly so why should your State flag be any different?

Maybe I'm just making too much of a deal of this... or maybe I just love Texas so much that it gets under my skin.

So for all you Texans out there that missed this day in Texas History back in middle school or if you just moved here and didn't know... This is the correct way the Texas flag is flown!! (Note: red on bottom!)

Sun Dog

So last week as I was driving home from work I saw the most interesting thing in the sky. I kept looking at it wondering what it was (which is kind of bad since I was in rush hour traffic). I was rushing home as fast as I could so I could get my camera and take a few snaps. Unfortunately by the time I got home it was gone (and no, I'm not talking about UFO's, but I do believe in them - different story)

So I get to work the next day and I'm telling my friend, Texas Grind, about it and she knew exactly what I was talking about. She too had seen it! And she said they talked about it on the news - it's called a Sun Dog. She being the photographer was able to catch a few snaps before it went away so I'm waiting to see her shots on her blog sometime soon. ;-)

Until then, I did go online and looked it up. So here are some pictures I "borrowed" from Wikipedia.

This is a picture of what I saw on my drive home. I thought at first that the sun looked really interesting, then I noticed that the sun was to the left of this "thing". Then I thought wow, a small part of a rainbow. And it's like there is an open "box" in the clouds that this shows in. It was just really cool.

Texas Grind told me that this is what it's supposed to look like. That would have been really cool to see.

Here's complete details from Wikipedia as to what a Sun Dog is, but the short and sweet: A sun dog or sundog (scientific name parhelion, plural parhelia, e.g. "with the sun") is a relatively common halo, an atmospheric optical phenomenon mostly associated with the refraction of sunlight by small ice crystals making up cirrus or cirrostratus clouds. (also "borrowed" from Wikipedia)

It's my birthday - give me a dollar!

I might have posted this before... if so, sorry here it goes again...

I don't understand the "tradition" that when it's your birthday that people pin money on you. When I see someone in the hall (as I did today which is why I'm writing this) I just smile say "Happy Birthday" and walk on. There is no need for me to give you a dollar because of this, especially if I don't know you. Truthfully I view this as very trashy. My view of course.

Time Change

Time changes are usually great, however when you forget about them it's not so great.

Yep, we forgot that the time changed last night. I remembered on Friday and ever told Mr. M that we needed to remember. Mr. M has an outstanding outing every Sunday morning with a friend. So this morning he gets up to do his thing and he calls me asking "what's the time?" I'm like it's blah blah, then he asks again "what's the time?" I'm thinking to myself maybe his cell was cutting out when I told him so I say again it's blah blah... then one more time he asked me "what's the time" and as I start to answer it dawned on me - the time changed last night.

So needless to say Mr. M was at his destination a whole hour early!!! And as he put it, an hour that he could have kept sleeping... hee hee.
