What a couple of weeks...

Where do I start? I guess from the end of my last post will do...

Ann had a good time with her family at her niece's wedding that Friday night. Then Saturday she went with the family to see her other niece's twins, that are about 7 months old. Sunday, her trip home was an adventure. She was scheduled to leave PA around noon ET, land in Chicago with a 2 1/2 hour layover, then be back in AR around 5pm CT. Perfect! Plenty of time to relax, unpack, while I made dinner, then watch some TV before going to sleep. Well, that failed. Her flight from PA was delayed over 2 hours because of weather. The storms tracked all the way from Chicago. She was landing at 3:15 CT in Chicago, then had to try to make the 3:20 flight home. She was planning to do an OJ through the airport (the OLD one, where he runs, not the new ones where he kills people). She got to her gate to find out THAT flight was delayed! Luckily she got home around 6:30, and we still had a good night.

A couple of crazy days at work. I am trying to train a new employee as my assistant, plus I had 3 different orders to write (none of them that small), and get ready for a business trip. Well, Monday and Tuesday someone else had to train because I was going nuts. And never got to write my orders. There were too many errors, and I had to wait. Wednesday my entire team went to Devils Pond in Missouri. Oh my God what a GORGEOUS place. I drove up Wednesday morning, got there for around 9am, and got to work before the meetings started at 11am. Actually worked through most of it, but still managed to pay attention. Wednesday night we had dinner and a magician performed. I wish I remembered his name (sucks being old!) but I can tell you he was PHENOMENAL (wow, I'm using a lot of capitals!). And I got a good buzz on.

Thursday was another full day of meetings and work. After the meetings I went to my room to shower and shave for dinner. Afterwards, I went outside and found one of my coworkers. She and I decided to enjoy the area before dinner, and went to play giant checkers. She killed me, but we had a blast. Then we went to dinner. After dinner, it was so beautiful out, I did something I haven't done in 20 years. I layed down in the grass and looked up at the stars. Incredible! Then, Agnes performed. She's 21 and from Sweden I believe. She won Swedish American Idol at 17 and is getting ready to release her debut America album. Very good singer. Got her autograph.

Friday I drove home, and worked from home for 5 hours. Then Saturday worked another 4 hours. Today was relaxing. Napped, played some X-Box, and now watching the hockey game (go Detroit!).

Now, all the travelling is done, all the orders are written, and hopefully I can start the proper training classes that I was planning on doing a couple of weeks ago.
Give me strength!
