Just a quick update about my dad. All his tissue samples taken during the bladder surgery came back negative so he is cancer free!! Yay! He is slowly healing and seems to be progressing well.
We had the outside of our house painted. We ended up agreeing on a color called Jubilee that is grey with a tinge of blue, with alabaster trim and a navy blue door. I loved how it turned out and all the neighbors love it. Now three other neighbors want our painter guy to paint their house too.

Yay about your dad! I'm so glad to hear the good news! :-D
Hah! I use webshots, too! And yeah, I'd probably bungee jump for 10 millon, too. But for thrills? No way.
First - Happy dance for your father's continued good health!!
And then:
You mean there are such things as fat free muffins? Good Lord!!
Oh and you gave me grief over Cheerios and water?
The guy clearing his throat. Is he like that everyday because I would have stood up and yelled 'go see a bloody doctor before I send you to the ER' (yeah, I'm really just a cute kitty) We have a friend who snorts up his nose and coughs without covering his mouth. We know each other well enough now for me to crack him whenever he pulls it.
Hubby and I worked at the same place. He told me after we were married that I scared the beejeepers out of everyone.
I remember getting in one Friday morning all perky and ready to go at 8am and then getting a call at 8:02 to discovers that the order I was told would be shipped out was not on the truck. I think I actually roared. I tore out of the office (I may have thrown a few doors wide) to ask Lawrence (warehouse supervisor)how exactly he was going to get the stuff to my customer on that day (Friday). There was a lot of yelling about courier prices and stuff but I wasn't budging.
I get back to the cubicle area and I see no heads. I get to my desk and there is a Kit Kat (chocolate bar) sitting at the keyboard. I guess the guys were hoping it would calm me down ;)
4 hours later Lawrence comes in and says he is getting a special courier to drop off the stuff - would I at least talk to him now.
CindyS
Rosario: Isn't webshots cool!
Cindy: That is a hysterically funny story. Sometimes I'd really like to roar at these guys, and hey you got chocolate out of the deal. Could you come over and deal with the clearing throat guy because it's driving me insane. Every 10 seconds, no exaggeration. Sorry about the grief. I'm a little shit sometimes. I have weird food habits too. Such as I like to dip my grilled cheese sandwich in ketchup. Do you have Starbucks there? I'm sure all of them have some kind of fat free muffin.
Please, I dip everything in ketchup. I'm not sure how I would survive without it and there have been nights when I have gone to the fridge to discover no ketchup. Even Bob scrambles when that happens ;)
Can't eat eggs without ketchup, oh and Bob taught me that I could eat french toast with ketchup because I hate maple syrup.
The worse part about my job was I was the person who got yelled at on the phone. The warehouse guys would promise to get something on the truck for the next day and then I would get the call. I remember telling one of the shipping guys that he could call the customer and tell him why his stuff didn't make it on the truck. He replied, not my job. Yeah, I got ugly and I think Lawrence may have cried and he was 6'9 and a great guy but Good Grief, get your shit together.
Now you know why I don't have a job ;)
CindyS
Great news about your dad!!
I'm loving reading everyones answers and getting to know more about them
Us periwinkle blue girls need to stick together! ;)
Cindy: French toast with ketchup doesn't sound too bad but I love maple syrup. Working with the public sucks sometimes. My worst experiences at work came when I had to deal with irate customers, but thankfully I don't have to do that any more. I think you'd be good at a job where you are more creative.
Kristie: I know some people are tired of memes but I think they're fun.
Suisan: PB girls rock.
