• This is kinda fun... for me

  Ocean and Jassmine, your recipes sound really really good also.  Bisquick and yellow cake maybe be "cheater" methods, but cheating can be tasty!
  
  Saturday was such a good day!  Steve-O had to work early, so I slept in.  My brother woke me up with a phone call and I headed over.  We did the usual playing of some pool, listening to some music.  The three of us (us plus Daddy) were bored, so we decided to see what was playing at the dollar theater.  Daddy treated us to Walk the Line, the Johnny Cash movie.  I loved it.  Like my brother, I'd probably want to marry June Carter, too.  My dad thought it was a good movie but not quite worth the hype it got.  After the movie, we went to the base so Daddy could cash a check.  We drove all around eastern Dayton for almost an hour looking for an Outback Steakhouse that apparently no longer exists.  We tried another steakhouse, but even at 7:30 on a Saturday night (which is strangely late for my family), there was an hour and a half wait.  We settled on Golden Corral, where my brother ate too much and my dad ate only meats and veggies.  He's taking his diet changes seriously, and I'm so proud of him.  After stuffing ourselves, we went back to the 'rents' house and watched Crash, which I liked.  My brother had recommended it.  The saddest part that turned out to be not-so-sad made me cry anyway. 
  
  Most of Sunday my love and I slept.  Together.  We hadn't had the same day off together since about New Year's.  I sleep so much better when he's there.
  
  Today, I guess, is what all of this was leading up to.  I finished sending out invitations for a big annual dinner we're having.  This is, of course, my first year doing it, and it's going smoothly so far.  The afternoon job was better.  I finally got access to the website, and boy, is it a breeze!  The boss gave me a list of changes he wanted right before I left on Friday, and today I played with FrontPage, which is hella-easy.  There were some things, however, where I had to go in and change the code by hand.  None of it was terribly complicated.  I've never worked with tables, however, so I felt accomplished when I made them look how I wanted them, too.  I created links, pages, etc.  I even fixed a couple of typos that the old editor, the "pro," had missed.  With ten minutes to spare, I blew the smoke off my fingers and told my boss he should come make sure things were to his liking and give me more assignments.  Cha-ching!
  
  It's late now, and I hope to do exciting things tomorrow.  I do need to quickly find a previous meeting's agenda and whip up a menu for a couple of dates I neglected for my morning boss.  Then I hope the afternoon boss has come up with some new challenges.  TextTwist and Alchemy are okay.  Blogging is better, but some of you have trackers, and I don't want to appear too pathetic   And there are only so many nine-screen e-mails I can write.  My friends are patient, but they're only human.
  
  Love to you all.  Happy V-Day!  V is for Victory.  And Vaginas!
  
  P.S. - Kaylee did not make a mess on or with my pillow.  She somehow hasn't made a mess at all, aside from throwing kitty litter.  She just likes to sleep on my head
