I begin to tear the house up to find them. No good. I think I have the OCD (is that what it is called?) when I loose something because I go WILD.
3) Arrive at party one hour after it started with the grain alcohol, a 1.75 liter of coconut rum, and a six pack of Old Milwaukee Light and my pomegranate ruby red juice and run smack into a hug fest. Animal House hug fest.
4) Seeing people I adored 35 years ago and find I still adore them today.
5) Have the time of my life and end it all with shots of tequila and an illegal smile.

210/365
1) Walked four miles at the River Walk Trail.
2) My small coffee pot did nothing when I flicked the on switch. As a matter of fact the switch was broken. But I have my free coffee pot in the garage from Gevelia coffee. yay.
3) Love that DVR
4) Too bad US got beat at the World Cup. But I did get to see it b/c of my DVR. Well almost, the DVR is not very smart and because of the extra time for the over time I missed all of it except for the first three or four minutes, but I could see it, feel it, so I switched to ESPN and got the results.
5) Made it to ALDI. You know you are getting old when one of the most interesting things of the day to happen to you was to go grocery shopping. Mother of God, what is happening?

Day 208
1) Use Number 12,873,978,009,187 for Duct Tape. Removal of cat hair from black pants.
2) On way into work I was speeding along the six mile stretch from KY to TN and passed a police car who slammed on their brakes and made a U turn on the two lane highway (no small feat if you know what I mean) and turned on that dreaded blue light and came bearing down on me. I knew I was speeding, but not really speeding. I was doing about 59 in a 55. That did not matter as my heart rate began to increase and I mentally began to do a check list of my recent and not so current parking tickets, left head light out (but it's day light!) and its been too many years to even count since I puffed puffed passes, and I do not drink before noon any day! The adrenaline rush kicked in as I slowed down and pulled over to the side to let him/them race around me and pull over the truck ahead of me with the large ladder strapped w/o some red flags - or at least that was my call. Then I needed to drink.
3) Joe got a big fat check and I could not figure it out, A big fat raise. Days later I find out it is a redistribution of medical insurance. A refund so to speak, taxed again. But, you know what? I found out, while sharpening up my political views because I am surrounded by a bunch of know it all conservatives AKA Rednecks who assume their rabid mean spirited politics are your politics, of 30 industrial countries that are used to monitor and judge the rest of the world, the US ranks pretty high as a least taxed nation.
4) My solicitation genius knows no bounds. Get a box of great stuff from Borders.
5) It's Friday. Porch Sale. I have set some stuff aside in the hopes that the 60% off will be 80% by Sunday (it is)

Lost count on the days 206?
1) Had a visitor come to BB to see me and chat told me HBTN was making schedule so that she would not have to work with a particular employee. Hmmmmmm. Have seen the old bag only once in three weeks? Could I be the one?
2) Left over eggplant Parmesan
3) The AC is so cold at the Mall office, 64 degrees, but we know better than to complain b/c they will TURN IT OFF! Luckily I had a warm pull over jacket in the trunk (thank you Omega and Breeders Cup).
4) Only being on the schedule for two days last week I was #2 in sales! Might kick me but can't keep me down. (she is an old bag)
5) Pick up check from BB from prior week that I had forgotten about! (it was chump change, but like finding a long lost $20 in your pocket(.
