Decision: Regrowing after Harvest

It is getting time for me to 'harvest' my hair again. And, since I plan to get it cut short, I started looking for information how to grow it long.....FAST. But, as with all good things, it takes time and patience. I found this site and just enjoyed how she presents the process. I thought you might too........(the remarks she makes about herself and her husband are a riot!)

Decision: So Then....It's REALLY Old.......

As I helped Ethan get buckled in my car today he asked me what that 'thing' on his seatbelt was. I told him it was to help keep the belt from rubbing his neck. Then I told him that I had bought it for his sister when she was littler than him. I walked around the car and got in the driver's seat. As I buckled my own seatbelt, Ethan said: so then, it's really old?

Lord boy, if you think Angelica is old, what on earth do you think about the rest of us! What a kid!

Decision: Update: Going Hatless........

Mom went to church 'hatless' this morning and reports that it was a rousing success!

Audra met Mom at the door and asked her to usher with Uncle Jim, Uncle Dave, and her.....pretty cool.

Jim P. told her she was beautiful!  Charlie S. told her she was beautiful!   Others told her she looks wonderful and so on and so forth.  I say, 'Indeed you do Mother!'

Look over the pictures below and let's hear what the rest of you think.  Her hair is coming in very quickly and she is even considering 'spiking' it like Amanda.....now wouldn't that be a hoot!

Decision: Aaaaah.....To Go Hatless!

As the weather has gotten warmer, so has wearing hats! Today we visited Aaron's place and Mom went 'hatless' Here are some pics of her and Aaron (I took him a storage cabinet, still in the original box, that he found a use for immediately. One more thing I won't have to store!)

Decision: Better give that GOOSE a much deserved nap!

......cause, this is what I found on the USPS Tracking Website:

Your item was processed and left our SEATTLE, WA 98158 facility on April 25, 2009. (News at 11.... just kidding about that part)

......that would mean it did a heck of a lot of flying (up hill, no less) yesterday and last night......FLY AWAY HOME!

Decision: Hey Bob.......Marlys here......

What's your favorite Mother GOOSE Rhyme? Or, your favorite kid game: Duck, Duck, GOOSE? How about your favorite Christmas Carole: "Christmas is coming, the GOOSE is getting fat......."? Might be that your favorite character from 'Top Gun' is Anthony Edwards as Lt. JG Nick 'GOOSE' Bradshaw?

'GOOSE-golly', Miss Molly, this sounds like an Aflec commercial (with bubble wrap instead of feathers)!

Whatever the case, the 'case' is on it's way.....GOOSEY, GOOSEY GANDER , whither shall I wander?.........Upstairs and downstairs.........and at your door by 3 PM Monday (signature required...so you might have to pick it up at the post office instead)!

Decision: Waving of a 'Magic Wand' in Michigan Evokes 'A Miracle' in Kentucky

Well, maybe not quite; but so close I am glowing from the light!
Tonight, for the first time in a long time, I actually felt that what I know from my nearly 26 years with the same company is still useful.
It was a medium busy night; I had lots to do and not too many calls or email so that I should be able to get done on time. Then, at 9:18 PM I received a ROBOT page that TAP09 was in MSGW (Message Wait). Rats, this happened on Monday night too! I called Zach, left a message, and headed for the Computer Room to check it out. Tape Drive was SEQ dONE not SEQ Ready.....that's a problem. Before I fiddled with any of the buttons I decided to call Zach again....this time he answered. We discussed the situation, got the tape seated and SEQ Ready....I answered the message and it took off. Whew! Looks like I'll get out on time after all.
NOT SO FAST! I still had two more desktop computers to ghost and needed to get to a stopping point with the accounts I was creating. So, just like anytime when you are busy, I had to head for the restroom before I took on the last 20 minutes of my shift.....giggles. I had put the phone on standby and returned to find a queue call holding for 2:14 min/sec. I took a deep breath and answered the call. It was one of the plant people from Mt. Sterling and he needed more than an account unlock. I listened as he explained that he needed to find a way to get the JDE/OW order numbers that were on the load he had just completed on the AS400 so he could invoice and have the paperwork ready for tomorrow morning. The load was bound for Canada and it couldn't cross the border without these printed documents and he didn't realize that he hadn't taken print screens of them and they were gone from the 400 so.........now he was in a pickle. When he stopped to draw a breath I told him that I knew exactly what he was talking about because when I started working here (that 26 years ago end of May) I worked in traffic creating, releasing, and assigning loads for our truck fleet, common carriers, AND to Canada. He heaved a big sigh of relief and we started going over what information he did have that we could use to find the information he needed.
LONG story short, just before we got off the phone he told me he was glad I was the one who answered and that I was a miracle worker! Tonight, that was just what I needed to hear......sigh.
