remember - part II

my previous post... i titled it "remember" because i had this whole paragraph about our veterans, and how they fought for our freedoms, which we tend to take for granted.  memorial day is coming up, and it's not just a day off work to have a BBQ & kick off summer.  it's about remembering those who fought wars, those who are fighting wars today, and who have sacrificed their time, their families, and sometimes their lives.  it's about being proud of your father/mother, brother/sister, uncle/aunt, grandpa/grandma, son/daughter, friend, cousin, neighbor - for choosing to be a part of the military, whatever branch, and whatever job they do.  in times of peace, and times of war, they are the backbone of our country, and are working every day to keep our country safe. 

that being said, this post is about celebrity apprentice and bret michaels!  woooooot!!!!!  : )  did you watch?  do you watch the donald's shows?  oh my goodness.  first of all, i avoided MSN all day yesterday because i wasn't going to have time to watch both Lost and Apprentice, and Lost was more important.  *laugh*  i didn't want to know who won before i watched.  and i didn't find out, until... FB!  i'd joined the bret michaels page awhile back just to get updates on his condition & make sure he was okay (stop laughing).  of course, the actual "yay! bret!" postings were long gone, but the notices that he would be doing the today show, regis & kelly, etc., were all over the place when i opened up.  so, of course, i'm thinking, "HE WON!!!"  heh.  still, it was a great finale!  he & holly both did awesome jobs, but i am soooooo happy he won!!!  so proud of him!  now, he needs to get off all these talk shows & take a nap, darn it!  i don't want him to drop dead from exhaustion. 

i almost didn't get to watch it tonight, tho - when i got home, my internet was all wonky.  pooh!  i called tech support (whose recording, btw, suggested that i could visit their website if that was more convenient - thanks, but i'm calling because the internet's not working!  :p~~~) and was able to get it resolved, which was nice.  : )  meanwhile, tho, i watched Fame.  makes me wanna dance!  *laugh*  really, i should do that for a work out - watch all the various dance scenes from my favorite movies!! 

today over all was a much better day than yesterday - altho i didn't get to see leyton today, so yesterday already won.  lol  it was BUSY once again, but i didn't have any meetings, so i felt more on solid ground to work thru the investigations & such.  : )  plus, i'm one day closer to my staycation!!!  woot! 

lunch time was funny today.  we wanted to go to el pavito, but they were closed, so we went across the street to fields of pizza.  (trish abhors pizza, but they apparently have good fried chicken, so she was in.)  we sat down w/ our buffet plates & noticed... the sign for EP now said "open."  lol  apparently, even tho the sign says they open at 11, today they opened at 11:30.  unfortunately that lost them $25 (at least) in business!!  ah well, FoP has a delicious buffet - not very big, but tastey!

got a text from sarahbug - no DM zoo in july.  : (  i'm very disappointed, but i understand her reasonings.  *sigh*  so, perhaps i can convince mom & leyton & anthony we all need to go there this summer!  ; )  we'll see!  

i think i've been very chatty today, sorry!  but not sorry, i needed to share!  : )  *HUGS*  i hope you all are having a great week!  nicki, i hope training is going well!!  ttfn!
