A Pack of Impolite Piglets! Hmpf!

Good morning ... just a note here ... there's only 15 minutes. We were up rather late and been petting Missy. There's good news we're going to the on-line graduation with a gentleman! Woo HOOO!

Toward the rest of life ... things are going on about as normal as they could. We had nightmares last night ... basically, trying to get our big frame back pack together with our youngest son so we could "go." Had trouble finding our shoes and purse (credit card). We'll leave the transition this time to you, but I'm pretty sure not finding our money is pretty easy to figure out.

We completed our training in investigative skills. It went pretty good. I had a woman partner, then a guy partner for the practice part. They were both fine ... I felt more ignorant with the woman. The guy picked me out to be his partner right away. I thought he was very good looking. He worked in a nursing home and was a little insecure. We're pretty sure we got picked because we didn't look like we had nails and a scary demeanor. Some of those women acted not very nice. They made a big deal about who they were and being out on the town at all. They came back from the overnight laughing and giggling and covorting about how much they'd played and how little sleep at all. And, they set up the day before, this last morning AND afternoon with bags of candy they would put on their desk and rummage through during the meeting. They harrassed the speaker trying to make themselves seem more smart than he was ... but the speaker called their bluff major. He didn't come out and say they were rude, but he pretty much nailed their but. The one woman ... their ringleader said well now I'm angry ... and the guy came back and said you think you are angry? Now I'm angry. The farce was over some deal about letting union reps into the investigative meeting. The speaker was very sure he didn't want to hand over control of the inspector general's duties to an aggressive union rep and he came back at her as hard as she deserved.

Anyway that was that. Lunch at the same place, but different location and server. She was an aggressive kid, but we did our best to slow her down. I think she needed a lot of work. Yeeks! Oh lunch? Mushroom burger, fries, cole slaw, and apple pie with cinnamon ice cream! We will forgo mentioning the part where both were laced with pecans and caramel syrup! Oh no ... we are surely not going to tell you that!

Last night we talked to our sweetie on the phone, but he was pretty razzled about all that was happening in his day and so we let him go. We got a chance then to talk to Deb and we watched the movie on Ray Charles. Umm for the record Deb EVEN THOUGH she's going back to surgery is baking cookies on Saturday ... You can bet we'll be there!

Ok ok ... Missy has long since gone and now we're going to need shaking Chief from him oh so warm spot in front of us. But, we'll be back a second after shower to post ... all our good thoughts are going to go with you!

Back!

Scrubbed for the day ... big deep breath. ok we can do this right ... About 15 minutes ... shoot we still gotta take the medicine better get that done next.

Hmm, there, there. It's going to be ok. Running on schedule. Might want to get this posted and off to work? No, I know you'd rather write, but that's not really an option today ... Yes, that does sound like Dr. Marvin doesn't it. We can do it ... just gotta wait one more week. We can do this ... just gotta be strong, K? Ok you ... shoo!
