Vacation!

Well after I end my work day I am officially on vacation. Will have the weekend and Monday to get organized then off to Southern Oregon for our house sitting gig for our friends Cheryl and Harry. Hope the weather stays decent, don't like driving in snow. So Happy Thanksgiving everyone and don't forget my birthday next Friday. xxoo Mona

Birthday Month

Not so much in meltdown mode now. Have Dave all set with his plane tickets and hotel res. for heading to Norfolk to watch Sailor Son's ship come home in the middle of December. Tiff has me more calm now since she was able to share that Dan will get to be home to California sometime right after New Years so I will take my vacation time then and have him share all his adventure stories. So now I'll just remind you, don't forget to shop for my birthday gift. Even though I'll be away house sitting you can mail it to my house and it will be waiting for me when I get home. Have a great November. Hugs all around.

And the month started so good...

Some of you might have seen the bits up on facebook about the fashion show on Oct. 1st as a benefit for breast cancer, SAVE THE TATAS! What a great day hanging out with the gals from M.O.M.S, our escorts being handsome servicemembers. Then back to work the following Monday to a job that is getting to me so badly that most of the time I feel like I'm sleepwalking with the only good part of the day is when it comes time to clock out. Well, now I'm not only sleep walking but I'm also crying. I've been informed that the week I need off in December to see my sailor son's ship come in out at Norfolk Virginia is being denied by the powers that be. Other's with more senority like to have the week before Xmas off so tough shit Mona. Not to worry, sailor son will have his dad there to see him return from his first deployment and then his darling wife will also be there probably by Xmas eve to spend the holidays with him. So guess I'll buck up and quit whining, daughter in law informs me that Dan's leave will comense in late Jan. or early Feb. and he will get to come home alas to help Tiff get ready for their move out to VA. Who wants to go to back east in Dec. anyway, I'll now have the excuse to the kids that I'll need to come out later next year and see where they've settled. Yeah I guess things eventually all even out. In the mean time, I'll just keep taking my homeopathic tranquilizers to get through my shitty days at the office. Will keep you posted.

Book Titles

Is it ok to have a title for your second book even if the first book hasn't been published yet? Well I have a title for the second collection of my stories so I better get cracking hadn't I? Watch for the two volume set of my stories "The Fridge Magnet Chronicles" & " An Envelope of Random Things" coming soon to a bookstore near you...

Another new background

Ok, will live with this for awhile.

No new background...

Well the new background I tried to change to didn't stick. Will probably need help from my inhouse techy Tiff. Watch to see what transpires...

New background again

Look Laura, I did it all by myself! I kind of knew that the cupcakes would just be a bit too cutesy for me. This is way more my style. Chatted on fb with sailor for almost half hour Sunday morning. Now it's just too hot to even think.
