Kentucky Cupcakes

Dad brought each of them a super special treat earlier this week. 
Before they devoured their goods, I snapped some pics.

Murfy licking his lips (?) after having a delicious bass bone.
Do dogs have lips?

DEEE.  LISH.  USSS.

Digging for the last morsel.

“Mom, this bone is bigger than my head.  I’m not complaining. 
Just stating the facts.”

Delia  is great at remembering Random Tuesday Thoughts. Luckily I checked her blog before midnight and I can still get mine in if I’m quick about it.

 10:58 pm Tuesday night now.

2. Sometimes life sucks when people don’t get along. Especially when there are children involved. And yes, I consider my four-legged canines children.

3. I have new cubicle neighbors. Oh joy. Can you feel my excitement? No? Well me either. It’s so much louder on our side of the office now that I’m stuck between the newbies. And they’re not new employees, just new to our side of the office. I’m in the process of requesting a sound-proof cubicle with a lid. Note to self: get that office supply catalog ASAP tomorrow to see if such a thing exists. I’m short (5’3″), so I think a lid would do just fine on my cubicle. There’s still a need for a small door. Maybe I can work on that one after I get the lid. Heck, even a shower curtain on a tension rod would work.  The “Busy Belt” just wouldn’t be enough to deter the random questions and comments that fly by all day. (just scroll down a little on the link, you’ll see exactly what the Busy Belt is all about)

4. I just had to scroll back up to see what number of random thought I was on.

5. Wish I could get to work at 6 am and get some credit time in. Lately I have used almost all my sick and annual time (and we do get liberal sick and annual time). Mostly because I’ve been so stressed out with work and home things that I can’t bring myself to get out of bed in the mornings.

6. The people that work the hardest seem to get blamed for all the things that are f’d up around the office. Yes, M, I’m talking about you. M works for a contract company but is expected to supervise and direct government employees. She certainly got the raw end of the deal on that one.

7. I’m starting a new Bible study tomorrow night at S’s church. The book is called “The Frazzled Female”. Could anything describe me better? I think not.

8. Note to self: Class reunion meeting June 20. I hated most of those people 13 years ago, so, I’m asking myself, why do I want to see them now? Probably because I’m more successful than they are and I make twice as much (or more) money than most of them. Even if I take the other job I’ve discussed before, I’m still making twice what they make. That does give me a lot a little satisfaction in the world. Sometimes Karma’s a bitch, but sometimes Karma is a good thing.

9. I love my furry babies. I’ve had two with me this week while I’ve been staying at my parents’ house. I miss the other two, though. Newman is grieving himself to death missing his mommy, brother and sister. Brother Murfy and Sister Mollie will be reunited with Newmie tomorrow. And his mommy (me) will see him on Friday. I can’t wait to rub his soft chest hair and give him belly rubs. He just loves that.

10. I just wanted to have 10 things on my list. I’m out of thoughts and almost out of time to get this posted before midnight. So, goodnight bloggie friends. I’m off to bed. My goal is to get up at 5 am. I see myself sleeping till 7 and in a mad dash to get to work to answer phones on my weekly phone day. At least I don’t have to deal with the three bitches on my last phone team. I have some good ones now.

Later bloggie gaters!

I’m lucky enough to participate in another Mamarazzi swap.  This time it’s Red White and Blue.

Can’t wait to get my swap partner and make a new bloggie friend!  Thanks Mamarazzi… you’re the best!

Joy sent so much good stuff, I couldn’t fit it all in one picture.  And the hankies, ribbons, lace & buttons are a treasure.  My favorite was the pink and green ribbon with two clear jewels.  Absolutely adorable!

Here’s a list of the goodies she sent:

• Nail Color Pen – never had one of these… can’t wait to use it!
• Burt’s Bees lip balm, cuticle cream, hand salve and Res-Q Ointment… I sent some Burt’s Bees to Joy… turns out we have the same tastes!
• Packet of Wildflowers… I’ll plant these this weekend!
• Jolly Time Popcorn… single serving, so no sharing!
• Forever Fig eye shadow… yum!  Loving this color!
• Lavender, Green Tea & Geranium relaxing lotion… mmm… I’m putting this on my dry elbows and taking a nice nap!
• Rimmel Nail Polish in Posh Trash… this will look POSH on my toes!
• Home Sweet Home Yankee Candle… sooo smelly good.
• Bath & Body Works Japanese Cherry Blossom lotion… husband likey-likey!  Me too!
• And… get this… my very own artist trading card… made by JOY!  She’s so creative.

Joy included little notes with each item telling me why she liked each of the things she chose.  I loved all of her wrapping with the hankies and ribbon.

Thanks, Joy!  And thanks to Mamarazzi for hosting this blog swap!

Anyway, Paige has started a new blog and it’s great.  Check her out at http://allnewpaige.blogspot.com/

She recently worked on the movie “The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia”, produced by the famous (or infamous) Johnny Knoxville of MTV. 

Paige loves to bake and seems to have a recent fascination with cupcakes.  I found some cupcake blogs from Paige’s old blog and they’re awesome.  My fave is Cupcakes Take the Cake.

Check out Paige’s new blog.  Her second entry is totally hilarious!
