Lol....well I might be lying....maybe..................

Generally lying would be considered a bad thing, but this time I am hoping that it is true.

Hi Neal!!! Long time no chat. Hope IMMOO training is going well. RAGBRAI must be coming up soon. Try to stay on your bike this year.

Acknowledging that I have ZERO knowledge of age-appropriate reading for pre-teens, just HOW does Neal know all of this???????

Evidently, Neal has facets!

See!!!! I told you! Haha. My manfriend is so handy! Haha

Well his Mom is a librarian...so that probably helps as far as what he read when he was younger....and he reads them now too still. Haha. I like young adult sometimes too....The Hunger Games and Harry Potter were really good!

Good morning here Ghoulies!

It is going to be a scorcher here today.

Morning Ghoulies!

There were a bunch of Ghoulies wandering around in the village last night!

Hope your flight went alright, Melindy!

Morning, Ann

Watch out for that heat. It can hurt you before you know it.

I offered someone here at work $100 to sabotage the air conditioning units so we could all go home. I'm more worried about the dogs. The kids will be home most of the day, my SIL is coming over, so I told them to keep the dogs inside most of the day. It was 83 at 5:30 this morning. I walked out of the house and felt like I needed a shower.

When it gets this hot is is odd outside. The sound of the bugs is deafening, but the birds and others, quiet. Then, after sunset, there is this huge frenzy of activitiy.

Call the kids or SIL,  and check on the dogs during the day if the sabotage doesn't work.

My son and I took the dogs for a short walk at 8:00 last night and it was still incredibly humid outside. I feel bad not taking Zoe, the greyhound house guest, for a long walk, but it was just too hot out. it is supposed to be cooler on Sunday. I am going to get up and take her to the dog park early so she can run.

Oh, and the gov't employees are encouraged to work from home today and tomorrow because of the heat. I guess heat doesn't bother the contractors since we aren't real people.

Being a government employee and knowing how far down the food chain I am, that makes me fear for you. Indeed, you need to get out of that job!!!

I took my furrified pal out last night for a walk and she ran around then looked at me with a look that said "Fix this, it is too hot!". Then went inside and panted for hours.

Do you need any more board members?

I was very deflated last night. The company I spoke with the other day HAS NOT won the other contract. They are submitting their proposal. It is supposed to be awarded for the work to start Sept 1, but it isn't money in the bank yet. So right now there is no light at the end of the tunnel.

I do have to get out of here. There is a group of guys that I work with a little bit, they sit right behind me, and they are all completely miserable here, too. They are very insolent toward everyone and honestly if I spoke to people the way they do I'd have been fired by now. They are getting more and more rude and disrespectful toward people, and have started just bashing everyone. I used to stand up for them, and talk to them, now I want nothing to do with them. The whole situation here is just getting worse.

You don't want to do that. (trust me)

You can just come to the meetings.
