I am sitting in the kitchen and listening to my IPOD (through one of the counter speaker thingamabobs). Haley (my 8 month old boxer) was laying down next to me on the floor until she became very inquisitive of what that noise was. Jewel has a song called "Chime Bells" where she yodels & each verse she goes through she gets faster and faster. Haley got up off the floor in a hurry to walk over to the counter top trying to figure out what in the hell that was .... She's just do damn cute, she had her right paw pointed and her head tilted to her left side. As the yodeling got faster she started tilting her head from side to side, her ears moving up and down, but staying perfectly still with her paw pointing like she'd spotted a bird during hunting season. Ooooh she's so cute, that little monkey of mine.
If you want to see the part where Haley started to freak out, speed up to 2:07:
Speaking of Jewel - I got an email a couple of weeks back from "Jewel" that she had released a new DVD called "The Essential Songbook" it has live performances of all of her best songs - I think there are like 40 or 50. So of course, being the Jewel fanatic that I am, I hopped online & purchased it right away. And guess what!?! Yep, it came autographed, a fabulously awesome silver sharpie doodle right on the front cover. I was very happy with my purchase - and truly it's an awesome DVD, I'm glad she finally released this one.
Nothing is really new around here, the usual - I've been cleaning the house this morning so that I don't have to come home to a mop & sponge. Blah. I've got all of the drawers in the kitchen reorganized, the stove is clean from top to bottom along with the fridge. Now I just need to vacuum and mop the kitchen and we're one room down.
Oh yes, something is new - I'm very proud of myself for this one too..... During a meeting at work on Friday morning I spouted off the idea to turn one of our most commonly used forms into an electronic version, where the banks could get on a website or use a link through an email to order their equipment. Everyone was like, "that's a great idea, so much more simple than the paper form into fax." If something is wrong with an order form, we can't send it down (everything is electronic) for shipment, we must get a new form filled out. If we had an electronic form, it would prevent banks from leaving out information, it would stop billing issues (we're having problems with the wrong amounts being billed) & would allow us to make changes as needed once submitted. So my boss of course looks at me and says, "okay smarty pants, then I expect that by Monday morning." I didn't know what to say, I'm leaving early Monday morning for my trip, how in the heck am I supposed to turn a paper document (which is also saved in Word format) into an electronic form?? Well being my usual self I said, "no problem, you'll have it boss." She grinned at me like "ya, right!" So what did I do? I came home Friday night and started working on it. I worked on it until 2 in the morning & had it almost completed. I got up on Saturday and worked on it until 5 pm. And ta-da I have a completed form that totally rocks! I'm so proud of it. Of course it's not perfect, but the layout is wonderful, it's very user friendly & it will get the job done (at least serve as a template for IT to build the final version.) MAN, I'M A GENIUS, PURE GENIUS! Haha! So, I'll let you know how it all goes over. ;)
I guess I better go get packed - I hate doing things at the last minute, so I'll kick myself if I end up packing late tonight.
