Daily Notes 07-14-2006
Not much going on these last couple of days. Working on a costing report for the big man so he can go up on prices to our customers. Will probably have to work on it all weekend as he wants contract information it it and guess where contracts are?? In the database?? NO! On spreadsheets — YUK! Will have to pull all that junk in somehow so I can pull out the numbers he wants.
Had a humdinger storm a little while ago, so had to shut down the computer and go do something else for awhile. We needed the rain, though.
One of the glads Mom gave me last year is blooming. I’ve been watching all those flowers for signs of blooms, but this stalk just shot up overnight it seems. It’s one of the red ones — Judy you remember what they looked like don’t you?
A friend of mine gave me a ton of Iris bulbs. I’ve got to find time soon to get them in the ground (well before winter anyway :grin:) It’s so hard to dig in that ground — too much gravel in there. I need to put another layer of stones around the edge and add a couple of hundred pounds of topsoil. Then maybe my daylilies would do something.
Eddie sent me photos of him at Fort Jackson last night. I’ve created an album for you to view them if you like — click HERE.
He keeps promising more of Baharain so stay tuned for those. I’ll probably just add them to the Baharain album, so if you saved that link you should be OK.
Guess I really should add links to these albums over on the side over there.
You’ve probalby noticed that I’ve switched around the “look” of the blog the last couple of days. I keep trying out different “skins”, making minor adjustments to them to make them more like the rest of the site. It drives Ken crazy when I do that, but I get bored….
He did go and read the poem. He liked it 🙂
Guess I’ll begin working on pages for the Cresteds now that they’re getting a little bigger.
Need to run — Ken will be home soon.
Love to all!
Margaret

I like the new look. I don’t see alot of green around here. I took some pictures of my villa, so you can see that I really am living in the lap of luxury. 😉
Actually, I spent all day yesterday loafing around the house and felt like I was rattling around in that big empty space. I had planned on going to a movie, but the Muslim world intervened.
Friday (remember we work Sunday through Thursday) I was in the office keeping up with the e-mail from the states when one of my co-workers related a story a friend of his had told. The friend had gone to Seef Mall to see “Flight 93” Thursday night. He had to leave because the Arabs were cheering and laughing all through the movie. It made me pretty angry just hearing about it. It would have been hard to just get up and leave.
He reported it to our boss, who must have informed security, because they put all movie theaters off limits that afternoon. Probably to prevent one of us causing an incident as much as anything else.
As if I didn’t have enough reminders that I really am a Stranger in a Strange Land over here.
