Moody Monday Photo Challenge

Don’t think you can get much more thoughtless . . . mindless . . . than the “electronic income reducer” as a business associate calls it.

effect was pretty easily accomplished – I held the button down while moving the camera quickly back and forth.

The Lens Day Challenge for this week is Furry.

Hubby has long (gray) hair. His hair is longer and grayer than my own, btw. This is what I see each morning when I get ready to brush my hair. No, I do NOT use his brush. Yes, he cleans up his own. �;-)

and so very little time. Age old lament, but true nonetheless. I can see I am going to miss my Fridays off over the next few months. I will be working them all through the greatest motorcycle riding time of the year! But the tradeoff is a little nicer paycheck, so the moosie will please stop her complaining right now! 😉

Lessa is in Anchorage taking her state insurance licensing exams (life and health). I should hear from her in the next hour or so telling me (what else?) that she has passed both with flying colors! Atsa my girl.

Also deserving some attagirls is the Ladybug! She has lost 30 pounds! You go, girl of mine. Puts me to shame, she does.

On the exhaustion front . . . . beginning to feel better – not so drained. Although I am a wee bit tired at the moment. The thing is I really shouldn’t complain at all. I am reasonably healthy. I know some folks who are battling cancer and other diseases. My life is pretty darned good, now wouldn’ you agree?

Our receptionist gave notice yesterday. Sigh! I will soon be (hopefully soon – cause I know WHO will be doing the job in the meantime!) training my fourth receptionist since I started working there. I celebrate 4 years on July 2.  This last one has been there for going on three years. She’s leaving us for a state job – better benefits, although a bit less money. For her sake I hope it all works out. For my sake I hope my boss finds a good one in a hurry.

Have been writing, writing, writing. No, not here. My muse has been uncorked from her bottle and like the magic genie that she is, has been giving me thoughts to put onto paper. I am thankful she remembered her way home. And, it has been fun to attend the last two Writers Group meetings – it’s been several months since I’ve been able to get to one. Some new faces – and some of the same old faces. But, good to read in front of others and to get good feedback.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone. Mr. Moose and Lessa should be getting home tonight and then we will be back into the swing of things on our (too) busy weekend.

Scavenger Hunt Challenge #2, Week 1 of 13
Week beginning 4.1.06
Photos Due by 4.7.06

BONUS POINTS AVAILABLE:

1 pt. if there are toppings

Lots of toppings to be had here. Our local Papa Murphy’s Pizza place. Yum!

in a good way, though.

They really are pink slips, you know. Job status change forms, that is. You get one when you first start work – you get one whenever there is a change, good or bad, to your working status, you get one when you quit or leave for whatever reason. Pink slipped. Your copy of the form is pink.

I received one today – but it’s a good thing. My hours have been increased! From 30 to 40. I am now full time – at least for the next couple of months. June 30 we will reevaluate.

You see, the training I took several weeks ago? That comes with responsibilities and presentations and the like. That all takes time away from my other duties. So, a few hours were added to give me the time to be able to do it all.

The only bad thing . . . I will miss my Fridays off. They were right handy to have. I could schedule doctor’s appointments and such on Fridays and not have to use sick leave to go. But, if that is the only downside – well that’s a good thing.
