Good morning all! I've missed tons... too much to try and catch up.

We've been having meetings with an accountant & others to go over what my Dad left for Mom to live off... he did an awesome job of that. We traded in Mom's 2007 Hyundai Sonata Limited for a 2009 Honda CR-V EX. She's diggin' the sunroof! Plus she can see better and get in/out better, and I'm happier that she has a 4WD (on demand) vehicle for winter.

I interviewed with a division of AOL on Tuesday and am hoping for a job offer soon... we'll see. I'd be working my butt off, but I wouldn't be bored, and that's important to me. I hate sitting around. Which brings me to dating... I don't know why I bother. I met one that I liked, good values, and very sexy.... but when she's not at work she wants to lay around watching TV. Her ideal vacation is to go to a beach... and lay there. Maybe I'm just too hyper, but I just can't do that for an entire week. Ah well... the dogs will go anywhere, any time... perfect.

How's everyone this morning?

Exactly my kind of trip. She made dinner the other night and asked me "Can't you just sit back, relax, and be calm?" I was nice and said "I LIKE being active... doing stuff." instead of "Don't you ever want to get off your @$$ and do something even the least bit challenging??" doomed... so very doomed.

That's pretty high, but when I was working this summer and I was filling out an order sheet I happened to notice the unit pricing for the cases of stuff. Then I figured it out and we had something like a 350% markup on jars of stuff.
man if I could make 350% markup I would be a happy camper.
