Found Money!
I recently referred a former co-worker to my compnay for a job openeing that we have... and they have offered him the job... so I get a nice referral bonus :) Now I need to decide what to do with it! I have wanted to get a Wii for a while (no not so I can play Pearl Jam RockBand... I am plain bad enough on regular Rockband when I play at a friends' house -- though it is fun)...
Then there is the obvious shoes or new handbag (or some combo of both). And the boring option that my mom will vote for ... Save It!
So.....
The Michael Jackson Memorial....
I watched it via CNN... and I thought it was very tasteful (for the large scale... and gold coffin aside.)
Some say all the coverage is overboard, but I think this may have helped give a lot of people closure and accept that he really is dead.
Highlights for me...

You have got to be kidding me!!?!?!
Well it appears 2 months is the longest Potluck Bitch can go without stirring up trouble... and /or being unable to get over the fact that I do not want to be her friend.
Its been a banner week and its only Tuesday. On Friday (while I was out) she sent out an email saying that I would do something, that I never said I would do, and in fact I could never do because the trigger for me to do the task is PB notifying me that she has completed a document, which she never does, because she refuses to copy me on any work related emails! Today she indicated that I would be volunteering for a task that she could not possibly do, because she was tied up with 10/12 hour work days for the next two weeks (how this is possible I have no clue because she is never at her desk... and she is not at meetings because she is not allowed to go to anything other than staff meetings!).
But the best was this afternoon when she complained that I laugh too much. (Hey I am a giggler, always have been, and I know she doesn't like it (probably because she is not sure what I am laughing at) so when I listen to EITM in the mornings I kind of lay it on thick.....).
I was unofficially informed of this ... and asked..."Am I not allowed to laugh at work anymore?"
Obviously the answer is no, because you can't police crap like that, but WTH!?!??!?! So its game on!!!!
I now have a lovely image of The Dark Knight's "Why So Serious?" ad campaign as my desktop wallpaper, Quotes about laughter will be appearing in my email signatures, and whenever she is not at her desk, I will make a comment about billing for hours when you are never at your desk.....
2nd window estimate...
went much better than the first (experience from hell.... vis-a-vi Long Window! Avoid at all costs!).
The 2nd place has an online form where you submit the measurements and they get back to you...
with a detailed spreadsheet that outlines the cost for each window :)
I submitted the measurements on sometime on Saturday, late afternoon... and had my estimate @ 8:30am monday morning. I had some followup questions which were also answered in a timely manner.
I have one more place to contact ( plus a 4th place to get an estimate for basement windows only).
Phew.... happy to finally be making progress after the first disaster!

Most expensive cat gate ever!
When I first moved in there was about a 10 inch space between the oven and the wall.
A first I didn't think much of it, but shortly I heard a banging coming from the oven. At first I thought it was something if this variety....but then I figured out it was just Madison.
So I pulled the oven out a little and out she came. Then I stacked a bunch of boxes to block off the opening.
Shortly after that my Mom and I were at Lowes, and found a 9 in cabinet. I bought it , then we ordered a small countertop....used a leftover door handle that my seller left from the original kitchen-remodel....
Ta-Dah!

Saturday Shout Out....
the full video, can be seen here
i had a very hard time picking a video... but i thought my experience with Thriller really summed up my childhood...
one morning on the way to leaving for school, my mother said there was a new video coming to MTV from Michael Jackson... and she thought it may be too scary for my sister and I to watch. We answered "We've already seen it!"
I was about 9, my sister 6. And a scant 6 years later my mother would have the cable disconnected because she caught me watching MTV (aka Madonna's Vogue video) after I was told that station was not aloud in the house....

R.I.P. Michael Jackson - 1958 -2009
This news is quite shocking.
I look past your actions in your adult life and choose to remember how you were when I was growing up and had your posters plastered in my room. :(
