Just Thought I'd Ramble

Hello Delights! Happy Weekend and Summer and Back to School Madness!

Where have we been? Living! That's what we all must be up to these days. And awaiting Jon Stewart's return to the U.S. and his phenomenal show. TAPS, congrats to you and your family on your bundle news. I had a ton of random thoughts today during my walk to and from Kroger. I tried to keep them all positive. So, here they go:  I freakin' love my neighborhood Kroger grocery store. Every Friday you get a free download coupon for something sorta great. I've gotten Colgate Toothpaste, some fancy men's shampoo, Ultimate Hamburger Helper (who eats this still?!?! NPR did a whole segment on this stuff!), a huge bag of Cheetos. There's a Starbucks inside & the barista is able to make my macchiato's and check out my grocery products. Genius idea! I finally went to see The Heat yesterday. Melissa McCarthy is comedic platinum. She was amazing and I loved all the fun extra characters: Michael Rapaport, Bill Burr, Jane Curtain and other greats. And the soundtrack was as random as me, so I loved it! As I was really beginning to enjoy my forced three-day weekends due to furlough, they're coming to an end. Our furlough days have been decreased from 11 to 6. I'll be back in the office on Fridays. :-(   :-)    Yea, I'm bi-polar about the whole thing. The Feds need a good financial adviser. Maybe Dave Ramsey can help them figure out how much they can save by not spending frivolously. I'm still able to take all the work trips in the world, but we're furloughed. That's dumb and ridiculous. Oops...I crossed over to the negative side. And I'm back. I'm focusing on future greatness and okay (for now) with not knowing exactly what I want to as a career. I just want to be paid my worth and deal with as little work place theatrics as possible. I know it's a stretch on the theatrics, but I'll give it all I got. Meanwhile, the Country Fella is still around and doing better. I gotta work on not trying to make him in to what I want, but accept him as he is. I'd want the same from him, so I'll keep working on being better. He's a pretty decent fella & I'm going to allow myself to fell lucky. If anyone wants to borrow 5 lbs from me, I'd be happy to give'em to ya. I promise. Keep them as long as you need to. No pressure to return them. You won't even get a library-like fine of $.25 per day that you do not return them. Hell, I may even give you a quarter per day to keep'em. You're welcome.

I had some other random thoughts, but have now forgotten them. Darn!
