Hope everyone is having a good day so far. I'm just finishing my coffee
and trying to get the nerve to get my shoes on and get out the door.
Today is Cesar Chavez Day and all the state workers have the day off, so the commute into downtown shouldn't be too horrific this morning.
I've been trying to pop on here every day and quickly read the latest news, even though I haven't had time to post for a few days...so forgive me if I ask dumb questions because I missed something
Susan, what's a Sandra Bullock dress? Like one she wore in a particular movie? When is your lunch date w/Alex?
Kayecee -- that's awful about that poor woman. I hope she got a HUGE settlement. Yes, doctors are human and make mistakes, but her life is changed, she obviously went through a lot of pain, and she is now disabled permanently. Hers was NOT a frivolous lawsuit, and that's why doctors are insured like crazy in case something like that happens. And then you hear about stupid lawsuits that people win -- like the woman that sued a fast food place because she slipped on a drink that was spilled on the floor...and
she was the one who got in a fight with her boyfriend and threw the soda at him in the first place! It's just not right.
Jana, I am very sorry to hear about your SIL, but I am glad she is no longer hurting. It's good that Neal's brother has family that love him to help him get through this hard time.
Angie -- $13,000?!?
Ay yi yi! I am always so afraid of owing taxes that I claim zero exemptions and get taxed a ridiculous amount...but then I always get at least a modest refund at the end of the year. Lots of people have told me that's stupid, and I should claim enough exemptions so that I don't owe anything, but so the government doesn't have use of my money all year, because I could be earning interest on it. But that's really a joke
If I had more money in my pocket all year, I'd probably just spend it -- so I guess I use the Federal government as sort of a 0%-interest-earning piggy bank.
Marti, sounds like married life suits you well! Welcome back to the real world from honeymoon land
It's been cooler here the last few days but should be up in the 80's again the end of this week, I think...
I just wish Spring would last longer here. We tend to jump right to Summer, and I HATE the heat!
Alright ladies, gotta run to work. Have a great day, and I'll be "reading" you all soon
Katie
