Wanna Laugh?

You can go over to the Hyperbole and a Half blog or you can envision me making blood chili.

Blood chili you ask?

Well the chili got a little of my life force in it after I decided I wanted to know what it felt like to run the tip of my thumb across the edge of the lid on a freshly opened can of kidney beans. Yeah, no... it was actually an unfortunate accident that has landed me in an unsightly bad bandaging job covering said thumb that sadly is still dribbling Cullen catnip.

I should probably keep my hand elevated above my head until the bleeding stops. But then I couldn't blog.

So there.

Today is my first of two days off before my final week of training starts Sunday morning. I got up early and met my sister at our grandfathers' house where we visited for a few hours. Then she and I bailed and went to a Chinese buffet for lunch. After we were stuffed, we parted ways and I headed home.

I was home for about a half an hour before heading out again to tend to banking business. Deposits here, checks cashed there, close an account elsewhere. Then home again.

That's when the chili incident occurred. So now I'm whining about my throbbing, bleeding thumb to anyone willing to listen.

Tomorrow...who knows. Maybe a date with my sister and her two young'ens. Then it's a girls night at a friends house where I'll be pampered and fed at her double header Mary Kay and Tastefully Simple party. Yay.

Sunday begins my final week of training. I feel pretty good about the whole thing so far. I've gotten more solid training this past week. I did all of the driving for three days straight. All of the filling and handheld computer work too. So basically I've got the fundamentals of the job learned and figured out. I'm a little nervous but also excited to get this last week over with and get out there on my own.

What are you doing this weekend?

Sorry to hear about your thumb. Hope it is healed soon.

What I am doing this week you asked? Sitting behind a desk for 40hours but getting released each afternoon to go home to the hubby, kids, and grandkid. Always a good thing. :-)

Enjoy your last week as a 'trainee'.

Digital Camera Help...

I recently bought a Kodak EasyShare M863 camera at Circuit City. I am not thrilled with the quality of pictures and some of the camera's functions. Mind you, I've only taken about 50 pictures so far, but when I uploaded them to my laptop and viewed them on the screen, they just looked horrible. My old camera was a Sony Cybershot DSC-S600. It took GREAT pictures but it had a lot of mechanical issues. I'd sent it back to the factory three times and it could really be worked on agian, but alas, my warranty is kaputz. So I've snapped off my usual fare of en route, on the road pictures and all of them suck. I've tried about 5 of the major "settings" and it doesn't seem to matter what I do, but they all turn out grainy and "foggy" and just crummy. For the money I paid for this camera it should take better quality pictures. Of course, today I reviewed the new camera online via various sites and it seems that the "crummy picture syndrome...

Open Forum

I have been thinking about opening myself up for questions and inquiry on both a personal and professional level recently. Today I decided I'd go for it. I am opening the floor to you, my readers, to ask me anything. Now, please understand that I have the right to refuse to answer any question I do no feel will be productive or at least entertaining. I am hoping for some really interesting questions, so don't disappoint me! I also would appreciate keeping things G or at least PG, in case there are young impressionable's reading this blog. I am anxious to see what you want to know about me and my life on the road. As questions come in and I have time to answer them, I will post them as individual blogs. So stay tuned... this should get interesting!

Mmm...Jello

I just finished a sugar free Cherry Gel snack ( I can't call it Jell-O since it's officially a generic brand that I bought). It was yummy. Not nearly as yummy as the foods I spoiled myself with the last few days. Night one, sushi. It was damn good sushi shared with good company, whom I know let me off really cheap on my cost of the meal. It was fantastic and I was surprised at how well sushi went with light beer. Go figure. Night two, Mongolian. O M G I could eat Mongolian every freaking day for the rest of my life and never tire. It's the bestest. Primarily because you make it how you want it. If you've never been to a Mongolian BBQ restaurant then you're truly missing out. In a traditional Mongolian BBQ you approach a long bar that is filled with chilled or frozen meats, veggies, and other nummy-nums that you place into a bowl (or two). As much or as little as you like! Then you approach a second long bar that houses large containers of just about every ...
