Fool Me Once

Happy April Fool’s Day. I wonder who is going to be brave enough to try to pull a prank on me? I do not really like jokes like that, but it seems there is always someone who wants to be a wise guy and try to pull a trick on April Fools Day.

Last year someone played a trick on me at work. They put a cardboard box on my desk like I had received a package in the mail. They had cut a hole in the bottom of the box and filled it up with styrofoam peanuts. So when I picked up the box to see who it was from and what it might be, the bottom dropped out and all the peanuts went flying all over my desk and my cubicle. What a mess!

It was funny – but it was not fun picking up all those awful peanuts. If I never see another styrofoam peanut again in my life it will be too soon!

What to do in Vegas?

Just found out that I have a trip to Vegas coming up in September for a big business conference. I’m so excited! I have never been to Las Vegas and have always wanted to go. Now I am going and the company is paying for the whole trip!

So what do people do in Vegas besides gamble? What are the best shows to see while I’m there? I want to have a chance to do it all!

Frost on the Pumpkins

Bought a pumpkin last night at the local church pumpkin patch. It was only $10 and I like to carve a pumpkin for Halloween even though there’s no kids in the house. I just think it is part of the fall celebration and its fun.

If my yard got more sun I could plant some pumpkin seeds myself and have a nice garden. But there’s no sun – too many trees. Then again, the shade from the trees is nice and helps keep my house cooler in the summer. So its a trade-off.
