We had a power outage yesterday. It figures that just when I get online - they would finally answer. I have 3 bad cable boxes - none of them are responding. I told MPH today that he had to come home now - I don't want to have to deal with this. I have no TV. Do I sound like a spoilt brat? Well I AM and it's his fault! I have a full weekend planned. I need to go to my dads and give him a parts manual for his lawn mower, and pick up pictures for my niece. I'm supposed to go sign up for WW in the morning and go to the gym at 9:15. Then I have a council meeting at 1:00, and I told Audrey I would bring her a book and something else (I forgot what) around dinner time.

I trying to fineagle my way out of going on the trip next week. I don't know if I'll be successful - but we'll see. I finally sat down and read our facility security plan for our building at work and discovered that I'm the POC who's supposed to deal with the 'casualties' if there were a major disaster in our building. I can't believe this crap. I have to coordinate a fire drill also.

Unbelievable.

One of my fish died today. It was one of the goldfish that I got from my friends kid when they moved. It grew so big - it had to be almost 4 inches long. It was bigger than some of the spots that I saw people catching off the piers at Carolina Beach a couple years ago. I laughed my head off when I saw people fishing for those. Those are not even big enough to be considered bait here. We'd have to hook up two or three of those to catch a halibut here.

The other day I brought my chihuahua Rosie into the building for Karen to talk to. Rosie took Karen on a tour of the building. Rosie got a lot of 'halibut bait' comments. I personally think that she looks like a cross between a wombat and a miniature husky. She's a prime example of selective hearing - she can hear the slightest crinkle of a food wrapper but can't hear you when you're telling her to go outside and piddle before bedtime.

What is a wombat anyhow? Guess I'll have to look that one up.
