Here's to spring!

Enjoying the warm weather

What with the warm temperatures, the time change and everything going on around here, I didn't sleep so well last night. I finally got up at 5:40, which unfortunately was 4:40 a few days ago. I am trying to get to work right at 8 or soon after, because today is the end of the retest project. Hopefully I won't fall asleep. I scored 6 packets yesterday, which is about $100. Pretty good.

I met all the family for lunch at the Sultan--except the Sultan was closed (the proprietor was at Food Safety training). Quickly racking my brain on the spur of the moment (there are a lot of fast food restaurants around there, but not much else), I came up with the cafe at Barnes & Noble. The one woman working while we were there prepared our sandwiches and drinks quite effciently and we all had a good time, before I rushed back to work. I left right at 5 and came home. Ray made dinner while the rest of us enjoyed a second day of drink and snack on the porch!

We had a momentary crisis when our satellite TV seemed to be frozen at 7:59, just before Dancing with the Stars, the one thing Elsie had warned us she would want to see. But turning it off and back on solved the problem. Elsie and Vanessa (and Ray) watched it (Vanessa did go to bed before the end of the 2-hour premiere). I was up here, throwing away old papers to make room to archive 2008. The taxes are in the mail!

BIG UUFA Board meeting tonight, starting at 6:30 with Dave's evaluation and moving to the budget crisis solution, a controversial bylaws change and a social action grant proposal.
