Traveling T-Man
Just thinking about the great summer my nephew Tyler has had. He has been traveling - South Carolina, Vermont, Texas - has also gone to several amusement parks. I'm so glad he's been having such a good time.

Other blogs
I spent some time tonight reading other blogs. I was thoroughly amused to learn that for a mere $23.99 + S&H you can purchase this: http://www.healthypets.com/chiaobamadet.html
I don't think it needs more comment than that.

The Table
Chris decided that his grandmother needed a new table. The one they use when they are doing the annual 4th of July BBQ has seen better days. So, he spent a good portion of yesterday and most of the afternoon today building her a new table. She is going to love it.
He did a great job. He really has so much talent in so many different things. His mind designs tables, and mine designs decorations for cookies....
Cookies
Chris's family annual 4th of July BBQ is tomorrow. The men will cook all night tonight, and we will eat tomorrow. I decided to get a little festive and make some cookies, complete with decorations. This is the first time I've ever iced cookies believe it or not. I thought they turned out pretty good if I do say so myself. They even taste good. I hope they taste and look good tomorrow.

Better
Feeling better this morning. Chris brought me some Tylenol Severe Multi-Symptom cold medicine which I took last night and was able to sleep the entire night.
I feel like getting out and doing some things today, I was a total couch potato yesterday. Willy needs some more food, it's getting really low and I know he'd appreciate me restocking the pantry.
We finally went and picked Chris's bed up from his cousin's house where it has been stored for the past two years. Thanks John for storing it and helping Chris load it. He was able to get it in the house by himself. Sometimes I'm amazed by the strength of that man. So, I want to get the guest room set up - finally!
I need to find something red to go with the blue and white I'm wearing to the 4th of July BBQ.

Busy days
Our days have been very busy lately - so much so that we are eating out every night. We always seem to do that when we are running at full speed.
I made it through the end of the fiscal year closing of the books! Yay! Always a stressful day for me.
Scheduled a few vacation days around the holiday to extend the weekend - ended up with a cold, so my vacation day turned into a sick day - b.u.m.m.e.r (Ashley if you're reading this, I always think it is cute when you do that, and I've never really had a place it would work before)
Had to get my XM radio signal reset in my car. I was having a bit of withdrawal while it was out of commission. I love listening to the comedy channels. Sometimes I am laughing hysterically, and I wonder what the other drivers are thinking if they see me. (Ashley, this might help your road rage...)
Upgraded my iPhone to the new operating system - liking texting MUCH better now. Still encounter typos, but not nearly as many. I was spending more time correcting my typos than texting, so I'm happier now with the wide keyboard text feature. Also found out you can slide your finger and the letter you stop on when you lift your finger is the letter that is typed. (that works on the old O.S. if you haven't upgraded yet) The texting was the one thing I really disliked about the iPhone, and now I can use both hands to type, so my speed has improved. You can also forward a text now which was something that was sorely lacking.
I'm hoping the voice memos will come in handy - I think it just might.
While sitting home on the sofa all day, I was channel surfing and stopped on Bravo TV and got interested in "The Fashion Show" and ended up watching a 5 or 6 hour marathon. They are down to the final four, and of course I'm hooked now.
Other than sitting on the sofa, I managed to get 2 loads of laundry done.
I missed a get together with Chris's family tonight because of the cold. He brought food and medicine home with him. He takes such good care of me.
Going out for a girls night out tomorrow night with Susan, Gina and Tonya.
