Just Some Goings-On

Vic & I will be spending all day Super Bowl Sunday at her mom's house. Since we'll be there all day, Shannon gets to come with us. Yea! I washed her blankies and will pack her a nice little overnight bag and then we'll all head out in a few hours. I never really realized just how much the kids miss us until we're both home for a few hours on the weekend. We each have a pile of kitties in our laps and Shannon at our feet. It's nice to be loved.

I think I'm going to try to tackle my taxes sometime this week. I don't know when, though. I'm shooting for Wednesday for some reason. I don't really know why I picked Wednesday...it just seems like a good tax day.

Work has gotten a lot better since I split my day up ~ mornings with the ignoring people and afternoons with the friendly fun people. I'm hoping for a permanent full-time gig with the fun people in the near future.

I haven't gotten my 90 day evaluation, or pay raise, yet at work, but they wasted no time in deducting my medical insurance from my paycheck. I figured that I would have to get a raise of at least $1.04 an hour just to break even with all the new deductions. I have no idea how much of a raise I'm entitled to, but hopefully I'll find out soon.

Has anyone else noticed the plethora of Tom Petty songs on the radio lately? I know he's playing the half-time show, but geez it seems like I hear a Tom Petty tune at least every hour now. Does he even have anything new coming out?

Speaking of the Super Bowl...Animal Planet has their own version called "Puppy Bowl." All day long they have puppy playing together in a miniature football stadium. They have water bowl cam and a kitty half-time show, too. There are also refs with pooper scoopers to call time outs when a puppy commits a "foul." It's really cute.
