Did I hear that we're comparing Christmas Slippers? I got some too, they're fuzzy but not pink. In fact they're REAL fuzzy, the kind that Warren Miller used to make fun of on his ski films! One of them is already missing its dingle ball thanks to our Soda-Pup. Did I tell you about her? She's approximately 4 month old cross between a Springer Spaniel and the devil. Right now she's lying behind me chewing a rawhide "flip-chip", but I can just see her glancing up periodically with that look that says I-may-be-cute-now-but-just-wait-a-few-more-minutes. And she loves her daddy. Whew boy, what a daddy's girl. And hereby lies the real cuteness, seeing this bear of a man, six feet four and bullet-proof, lying on the floor turned into a writhing laughing puppy chewtoy, wearing a brown and white ball of fur around his neck like a boa.
Life is good! Hope your 2004 is winding up with lots of good memories, too!

And now for something completely different...
Once upon a time the government had a vast scrap yard in the middle of a desert. Congress said someone may steal from it at night; so they created a night watchman, GS-4 position and hired a person for the job.
Then Congress said, "How does the watchman do his job without instruction?" So they created a planning position and hired two (2) people, one person to write the instructions, GS-12 and one person to do time studies, GS-11. Then Congress said, "How will we know the night watchman is doing the tasks correctly?"
So they created a Q.C. position and hired two (2) people, one GS-9 to do the studies and one GS-11 to write the reports. Then Congress said, "How are these people going to get paid?" so they created the following positions, a time keeper, GS-09, and a payroll officer, GS-11, and hired two (2) people.
Then Congress said, "Who will be accountable for all these people?" So they created an administrative position and hired three (3) people, an Admin. Officer GM-13, Assistant Admin. Officer GS-12, and a Legal Secretary GS-08.
Then Congress said, "We have had this command in operation for one year and we are $280,000 over budget, we must cutback overall cost,"
So they laid off the night watchman.

Flat on my back happy!
Yes, I'm still painfully happy. Intensely, agonizingly, severly, insufferably happy!
I know I'm being a little pithy, but, ain't Love grand? Now, I think I'll go put a heating pad on my back, I'm also kind of off my feet. Yeow. (what did you think I meant?!)

Where has the time gone?!
Hello world! Isn't it a particularly bee-YOU-tee-ful day?
I hope all is well in blog world… say, have you all SEEN Magz' story? Oh my Gawd it's great!! She's done such a good job and unleashed SUCH a talent!! Congratulations on the win and the brave new world, Sis!!
(what do you mean that is so one-week-ago?)
I've also noticed that Thanksgiving came and went in a whirlwind and Christmas is crashing down on us. Where has the time gone? OOOooh! Yeah, I remember: I'M IN LOVE! Had I mentioned that? Oh, I guess I did. Well, WAY back then it was nothing compared to now, now I've got it BAD! No, I've got it GOOD. Oooooh, it's real good. It's of epic proportions. It's the stuff of legends. It's ..it's…..real good. Ahhh. Well, if I could think of ANYTHING else, I'd write volumes on it, but I'm a little distracted. Pardon me for now, I'm going to go daydream about the future for a little while.
