I take a few days off and my reader goes crazy. Sorry, but I just marked all 191 posts as read. So, if I missed you giving me something or a post about how great you think I am, please redirect me! :) Actually, to be honest, I'll probably end up reading them anyway. As soon as you post something else I'll read that and then scroll through what I missed.
In other news, please pray again for my friend with breast cancer. She got some not so good news and could use all our extra prayers.
Also, my background check still hasn't even begun. They told me it could be months before they even start! Patience is not my strong suit, so this is really hard. But, on the bright side, I have a job now and I'll have one then, so no worries.
I thoroughly cleaned the whole office last week. File cabinets, bookshelves, our kitchenette and storage room. It looks like we barely even "live" here because I got rid of so much clutter. My boss says I must be pregnant. I tell her to shut her mouth!
We actually had a date night on Sunday. It was so nice. My husband's best man and his wife came to town from Chicago. We had a really nice time just hanging out with them. I wish they lived closer!
And, sometime I'm going to have to share my super deals from this week. I don't think I've admitted how frugal I am on here. But, let's just say that I spend quite a bit of time each week clipping coupons and coordinating sales and coupons and this week I got some awesome deals.
Oh, and I've got a lovely political post to throw up as soon as I get the time to get down on paper my rambly political thoughts. (Let me just admit that this is the FIRST election that I've actually paid attention to and not just voted the party line. So, I am well versed in the whole politics arena, NOT!)
I hear you on the reader front! Sometimes it's like people just went all fricking nuts and posted posted posted! It can be super hard to catch up!
Prayers for the friend - done. :)
Background checks - that means, be good in the meantime!
Nice job on the cleaning. If you are pregnant - whoooa, Nellie. :D
Date night - nice!
Coupons - don't even get me started. I suck with coupons.
Looking forward to the political post!
(I think I covered everything!)

You know, this is actually the first election that I am really torn, and should be paying extra attention to all of the coverage, but I can't yet. I'm still tired from the primaries.

Blimey Lori, you are cleaning at a place you're going to leave? Mad woman. Looking forward to the political post (though I a so not political), and sending good thoughts for your friend.

Your friend will be in our prayers. You are a good friend Lori.

i am only sane because of the 'mark as read' button. some nights you just have to look after yourself...
i need to use coupons more, but it requires a whole new level of organization i don't have the time for. sigh.

Your friend is in my thoughts!
I use mark as read a lot. Just today, as a matter of face. :)
