11:51

that's what time it is as i'm starting this.  whoops!  i meant to be in bed by 11:30!  *laugh*  i had to write a ranty blog first, tho, and now i can write a nice one.  : )  


today was really a nice day.  there was one hiccup, but it was smoothed out & i was impressed by the end result, so it's all good!  and i was able to help on a lot of issues, which always makes me feel good.  i still have a couple out there waiting for answers, but for the most part, i felt really productive today! i could have stayed til 6:30 again to get stuff done, but jen texted to see if i could watch leyton at 6:30, so i booked it outta there at 5:30!  well, okay, closer to 5:45, but that's cuz some random something popped up as i was closing everything out!  lol  


i had lots of fun w/ my lil guy tonight!  i had to bring dinner cuz i didn't have time to stop at home for more than to change clothes!  (oh, btw, the park finally repaired my driveway!  PTL & thank you, park peeps!  *smile*  i'd have pictures, but still no camera charger!!)  so, i brought a cheeseburger & apple pie (one for me, one for leyton) and i shared the cheeseburger w/ him.  : )  we played catch & baseball (w/ a tiny soccer ball) & watched part of Lady & the Tramp.  phil came over to bring some pull ups & hang out for an hour or so.  love love!  he also tag teamed w/ me to get leyton ready for bed - i helped him brush his teeth, phil got his jammies on, and then we went back downstairs to play some more.  


(instert ranty blog here.  LOL)  


jen got home a little after 9, i got hugs & kisses & see you thursday's & i love you's & came home to lots of happy blogs & email!!  : )  


i got an email from a gal in the netherlands, wanting to know if i'd be interested in a direct swap w/ her.  she & her hubs were in the states a few years ago & traveled through my area, and so she wants some cards from here.  they're also huge JD fans, and being in the mecca of JD, i'm going to pick up some postcards from there & maybe send a little tractor as well.  : )  


i didn't get to check my snail mail, but am hoping to have some postcards waiting for me when i do tomorrow!  seriously, my goal is to get to the point where i have some happy mail EVERY DAY!  i love reading about other bloggers' happy mail (like marz & micaela!) and visiting stationary blogs & etsy & i really need to purchase some more post cards... : )  anyone have any suggestions on where to find dilbert cards?  hmmm... 


what else?  oh, i have an afternoon meeting tomorrow because i switched times w/ karen.  which will work out better because otherwise it was going to be a morning meeting on thursday, so now i don't have to come in at 8 on thursday!  : )  of course, i probably should anyway, since i won't want to stay late that day because thursdays are LEYTON DAYS!  : )   : )  : )  of course!  *laugh*  (and now the theme to Mr. Ed is running thru my head... *sings* A horse is a horse, of course, of course!  And no one can talk to a horse, of course.  Unless, of course, that horse is the famous Mr. Ed!  Hello, Wiiiillllbur. LOLOLOL  sorry, it's late!!  i need to sleep!  )


okay, yes, i need to sleep.  hopefully you haven't thrown up your hands & given up on me!  : )  i leave you with a miracle of sorts, and the assurance that God IS good and He does have us in His hands, even for the little things.  i have plans for dinner tomorrow w/ two friends from work.  we're going for mexican, is the plan, and i wasn't sure i could actually afford it.  i'd set aside $10, but wasn't confident that would be enough, really, including the tip.  however, lo & behold, what should i find in my billfold today - $20 i didn't know i had!  : )  PTL!!  


and on that note - goodnight, love, *hugs*, and blessings to you!  yes - YOU!  ; )  


ttfn!
