Really?!?

Whew!  Wow!  OMG!

I survived the day...and I am finally mellowing out...Thank goodness...maybe Wezul will keep me around.  I don't say this often...but for one day...and one day only...I will say I have job security.  My work place could NOT live without me...though I was about to have a mental breakdown.  Hahaha!!!  Honestly, if I didn't show up Monday, they will throw a party and find another trained monkey to do my job.

Just kidding...it wasn't that bad...well...then I think out loud ALL that has been put on my plate...who did this to ME???  Oh yeah, it was me and my big mouth and my inability to say no when it ISN'T my idea.  (Which comes as a shock to Wezul...apparently..."NO" is a well used word in my vocabulary)

I have a trip to Texas, two trips to Denver (maybe)...jammed packed field schedule...jammed pack office schedule...that doesn't even count the things I am doing on the side...on my own time for the job.

WOO SAA!!!

Some other exciting news, Wezul Web Design is FINALLY out of the red and into the black.  Wezul actually got paid for his first website.  Very proud of him.  It was only enough to cover our initial set up cost...and give him a little extra to get some much needed items for his business. It's a good thing I didn't have any expectations of being able to quit my job and stay at home...because we are so far from it.  However, it is a POSITIVE first step in the right direction...Hopefully, he will get a few more sites under his belt...and start picking up steam.

Things are still a little iffy with his much needed day job towards the end of the year...which reminds me of the very insulting message from our financial software...really...does the software need to point out that our income from last year has declined by XX%.  NO!!  But it does.  Really, we are trying to look at life with rose colored glasses...to see the blessings that we do have...but the software that we paid for likes to remind me of this loss on a daily basis...UGH!!  That's alright...$$ doesn't define us...we know what matters most...and we haven't lost any of the truly important stuff...so the software will not crush our spirit!!!

Labor-less Day Weekend

Nothing like some time off of work to recharge the batteries. I need to take more time off because I am dreading returning to the day in and day out grind of work tomorrow.

Wezul and I took a unique approach to our little situation. Since he has guaranteed work through the end of the month (maybe he'll hold out until the end of the year), we decided to each take a day and decide what we will together. Wezul's day of choice was Saturday. It pretty much just entailed us going out to eat at Vivace. Wezul had the Veal Saltimbocca (OMG...I need to really pay attention to what he orders the next time...who does he think he is...a Rockefeller?!?), and I had the spaghetti. I know...very original of me. Hahaha!! We came home and watched P.S I Love You...We both enjoyed the movie for our own reasons. All I can say...be prepared to laugh and get a good sniffle or two or ten...

Sunday, we chilled after starting the day out with the breakfast buffet at the Golden Corral. Wezul worked in the garage and cleaned out our planter box. Hopefully, we will have a more successful crop next year...barring any menacing hail storms. We also helped some friends with their garage. However, we decided not to stay for their cookout. Last night we watched Journey to the Center of the Earth...the new one...and the Golden Compass...I enjoyed the first and could careless about the 2nd movie. Wezul got into the Golden Compass, but was completely upset over the ending.

This is a picture of our little stowaway in the garage. The little newbie got a little lost on his flight. He had a time getting out of the garage. Poor birdie. Wezul eventually got the little flapper out of the garage.

Today, was my day. So, we ended walking approximately 3 miles around the eastern half of Lake Johnson. I anticipated doing our usual loop but Wezul was a little "froggy" and we ended up walking around the half the lake or so. Afterwards, we went to the K&W Cafeteria for lunch. Tonight...it is reservations at Michael Dean's....hmmm...dessert...

Hope ya'll had fun.......

He's Really Fast

Not to much is happening. Today we power washed the shady side of the house...again. I have been pleading for weeks, and it finally happen. Wezul has work for at least another week, but his project manager is hoping to hear about an extension. We will have to see how that pans out.

Below is my sneak attack of senor. He was trying out his new headphones he bought with his allowance he saved. Haha!!!

The following shot was Wezul dancing around as he was trying to hide behind me...hahaha!!! I still got your ear!

Is that Flash Gordon? NO...just Wezul moving super fast...Just kidding...sorta...he was not being a cooperative photography subject.

It has been quiet

Not much to report on our end. We are doing well. Trying to keep the momentum up while Jason gets all the OT he can possibly get while we wait to hear what is going to be his next project.

Just Amazing!!

This weekend we went to Carolina Beach to visit with some dear friends Wezul has known for a long time. While we were there, their son called up to the house and told us that a nest of sea turtles were about to hatch. Off to the beach a group of us went. By the time we reached the beach, only one turtle had emerged and had already made his way to the ocean.

The other hatchlings decided that they wanted to take their time. After being nice and snug in their little warm egg that was buried under the sand, who can blame them for wanting to take their time to get into the cold, dark ocean.

However, there is plenty of food waiting for them.

There was a volunteer group there from the Pleasure Island Sea Turtle Project to ensure everything went smoothly for the babies' transition from the egg to the sea.

After a couple of hours, after watching just four heads poking out of the sand and doing much of nothing, chaos erupted.

All of a sudden the turtles were bubbling up from the sand and making their way to the the ocean.

Watch the little ones take their first plunge into the sea!

I couldn't imagine a better post to turn the dashboard post number to 100. It's moments like these that remind me why I do what I do is important to me!
