Afternoon Crazies. Ran around all morning and did errands. We are supposed to have bad rainstorms today sometime so wanted to finish before it started. Howie&#39;s birthday is Wednesday and I had to get him a gift today because of the weather coming and he&#39;s taking off on Wednesday. I got him a new cordless razor since he&#39;s only keeping his goatee these days. His old razor was more then 20 years old, figured he should have a new one. Also headed to the supermarket for the usual. I&#39;m doing my big cooking today so I don&#39;t have to cook the rest of the week. Corned beef, stew, and meatloaf already done or started. <br /><br />Jackie so happy to hear your didn&#39;t get any calls this weekend. I&#39;m sure you enjoyed the peace and quiet. We found a glitch in our software last night by accident and fortunately we won&#39;t have to do a bunch of amended returns. This program drives us nuts every year, but we still like it. We&#39;re just crossing our fingers that the other office is in good shape too.  Sound like that&#39;s some spa your sending Gucci to. She&#39;ll be one pampered pet when you return.<br /><br />Marylou so glad you enjoyed visiting with Cait and Heather. I&#39;m sure it wasn&#39;t enough time of course but guess that staying up helped you catch up with them. The girls are doing well in school. So glad they seem to be enjoying it.<br /><br />Maria so glad to hear your doing well. Hope that each day gets easier. Thank your DD again for letting us know you were OK.<br /><br />Your right about the gas fireplace Keith. I remember having no heat in the dead of winter and it wasn&#39;t fun. Oil company didin&#39;t deliver to us and Dad was hopping mad for sure&#33;<br /><br />Sue sorry to hear it&#39;s getting cold again. Bet that one warmer day was nice.<br /><br />Tonia and Carmen I&#39;ve never been to Europe but will be next year, 2009, so I&#39;ll be relying on both of you for some tips.<br /><br />Joey enjoy your lazy day, we always have too few of them.<br /><br />Well off to clean up the kitchen. It&#39;s a mess but at least I don&#39;t have to cook for a few days.<br /><br />Have a great day and a wonderful evening all&#33;
