just checking in...

Pretty focused day at work today. Still had to bring stuff home, though. Worked an hour & a half while listening to Pico devour his new gnawing bone. I went grocery shopping after work, and saw a chewy/gnawing bone for him whose primary ingredient was *NOT* rawhide, so I snatched it up. He loved it, and very affectionately licked it after each bite. It was as if he was saying "I know I'm chomping on you, but you're delicious, and I'm so sorry if it hurts". LOL

Got a new logo shirt and jacket from work today. Evidently, everyone else got theirs on the day I took off to go visit my Dad. The shirt has our new corporate logo, and the jacket is a VERY nice windbreaker style with a hidden rain hood and mesh lining on the inside. It's from Land's End. Shirt is my FAV color - bright Tennessee orange. Love it!! Jacket is bright red and very lightweight. Was nice to get something special for a change instead of just more assignments and gloomy news.

Family reunion not this weekend, but next. Looking forward to that. Good food, good jokes, good hugs, good times =) And you can never go wrong eating some fresh, hot North Carolina BBQ! w00t!!
