Lunch with Sherri

This morning I got a nice surprise phone call from my friend, Sherri. She wanted to know if I could get away for lunch. Of course I said yes!

We met at Famous Dave’s Barbecue and had a great visit. We have been friends for a very long time but lately we have neglected to get together for quality face time. Sending jokes via email is not enough to keep a good friendship going!

Sherri got rid of her glasses since I last saw her and is using contact lenses again. I think she looks great without the glasses and one of these days I might do the same thing. Sherri says that the cost of contacts is so low now that it is actually cheaper than paying for new eyeglasses!

Less is More

Chatting with a musician friend, they gave me a little insight into how to play the melody and not over-arrange a song.

“I had a band leader tell us once they did not hire to get paid by the note but by the song. Stuck with me ever since. Less is more.”

You can find your health insurance online

For my dear friends in North Carolina, I wanted to let you know that if you are still desperately looking for health insurance coverage, my good friend Julie found insurance here that took care of her needs. You don’t have to spend much more time looking around and asking all of your friends and family what to do. Thank goodness for the Internet – it certainly is making a lot of things in life a lot easier to accomplish!

Monday Blues

Although I admit I stayed up too late last night and didn’t get much sleep, I am having a bad case of the Blues today. Never have been a big fan of Mondays, and the alarm clock was not my friend this morning when it jarred me awake. It was still dark outside when I got dressed and left the house, and the day is so overcast and grey that I don’t think the sun is going to come out today at all. So it is a dark and gloomy day, a boring day at work doing inventory, and I’m just not a perky girl today.

Baby Shower

My girlfriend Jenny, is expecting a baby next month. She knows she will be having a baby girl. I think it is pretty much standard in maternity care to find out the baby’s gender about 4 months along.

Some of the girls from work want to have a baby shower for her. I was going to buy a gift for her anyway, so if we are going to have a baby shower, I guess I need to get busy and buy that gift for her.

Happy Birthday Donna

A good friend of mine is celebrating her birthday today. She doesn’t usually make a big deal about it, but I found out last year and made a note on my calendar so I wouldn’t forget. It’s not a big “0” year, but it’s her special day. So, Happy Birthday, Donna! I hope you have a wonderful day!

Baking

I am in a baking frenzy. I do not know why I have this need to bake all of a sudden, but I can’t seem to stop myself. I have made so much stuff recently, that my co workers are happy as clams. I end up taking much of it to work and setting it out in the break room. My friend Sally says I am trying to make her fat. I could only laugh at that. Maybe it is the holidays coming up that has me in this baking frenzy. I will probably be all baked out by December.
