So what's been going on lately? Well, I'll tell you.

Thursday night, I thought my runt had been kidnapped, killed, lost forever. He went out of town with his best buddy and his parents and the last thing I'd heard was that they'd had a flat and were trying to get it fixed, and calls to their cellphone went unanswered. For hours. I waited and worried until finally I called in to work for the next day and set out for Little Rock to find them, knowing they were on the side of the road somewhere stranded with a dead cellphone. Just then they answered, and all was well. Thank God.

Friday, the boys spent the night with us and we went birthday shopping for the runt. The X-box folks knew what they were doing - anyone who creates a player that's habit forming and then creates games to go with it costing $50 a pop is a genius.

Saturday, hubby, father-in-law and I went to the horse races/casino. I won $75 on the ponies, lost the $5 Harrah's sent me at the casino, and hubby won $260. I suppose we had a pretty good time because Sunday, we went back.

Our bathroom is STILL NOT FINISHED. I will be so glad to have a shower again, I think I may even do a little jig if it ever does get finished. We're just on the cusp of showerdom - the shower wall is about half tiled.

Back to work today, and next week, VACATION!!!!
