lack

I'm suffering from a lack of the newspaper this morning! Ugh. It has not been delivered yet. Yesterday it was a lack of coffee. Our coffee maker died.

One thing I haven't lacked is reading material. I finished the sixth book in the Kevin Hearne Iron Druid Chronicles.  And, I've enjoyed every single one of them. Time to take a break, however, and read something different.

I have noticed a big gap in my reading history that could be labeled with a large "G." I've never read anything from Neil Gaiman.  It's true. That is soon to be corrected as I picked up "American Gods" while we were in Oxford last weekend.

Off into Thursday we go. The weekend is within sight.

ouch

That game yesterday. One word summary: ouch.

I'm going to have one very unhappy Brazilian at work today.

Hey, we are interviewing someone for the graphic designer job! Out of 15 applicants, one has been selected to come in for a chat. They are going to run the ad again.

Wednesday!!

blur

Yesterday went by in a blur. I did so many things I had been putting off, trying to describe what was actually accomplished would be difficult. Nothing big, but several small chores that needed doing.

Short week now. I also get to go on Thursday and have a tooth fixed.

It was a great 4 day weekend!!

Off into Tuesday we go.

bonus day

Woot! The bonus day is today! The final day of my four day weekend has arrived. Let the rest and relaxation begin, right after the laundry, a Costco run, the banking, and a few other chores.

lol

Enjoy the day.

long weekend ahead

So excited for our long weekend to begin. But, first to get through the day ahead. Found out that one of our four lunch bunch group is going to move away! So, in the next month, our group of four will be cut in half. My coworker is off to the university to finish her PhD and our friend from another department is off to another state to start a new job.

Sigh.

My office dynamic is about to undergo a big change. Excited for them, but I'm a bit sad. Having fun coworkers is what keeps me going on those days when the work is a grind.

Until next week, Happy Independence Day!

beast

Even though the US didn't win the match yesterday against Belgium, our local guy, Tim Howard, turned in a beastly performance in the goal. It was a clinic on how to be a goal keeper. Amazing.

So proud of our team!

The week is winding down and I'm looking forward to a 4 day weekend. Yeah!

The weather is going to cool down, the kids have lots of plans for gatherings with friends, and our midway through summer point is upon us.

Enjoy Wednesday!

slippery slopes

And so it goes. The so called win for religious freedom, or also known as sticking it to Obama is really a blow to women.

Yet again.

A bunch of men decided that a corporation, because it is a person, is entitled to exclude medications due to their religious beliefs.

Wow. Just wow. Money. Power. Corruption. CONTROL.

Sickening. I will never darken the doors of Hobby Lobby again. The store that imports everything from China (hmmm, no problem with their birth control policies I guess since it impacts their bottom line). Oh, and they also have investments in the companies that produce the birth control they object to. Again, the almighty dollar wins out.

Convenient to be able to pick and choose your moral objections.

And the divide in this country grows larger and larger. We are on a very slippery slope.
