July 1

A new month upon us. What a wild and crazy week it's been. I am dog tired. Yet I am not sleeping well, and I have no idea why.
I have some new challenges at work, for which I am both apprehensive and excited. I have been asked to mentor the new class. I met them today and they are eager to learn and very nice. It will be good for me, I think. I truly look forward to the discipline it will provide me to do my own job better.
The sunburn is turning tan, for which I am grateful.
We had a great time at the annual summer work party, lots of fun and the booze flowed freely as it always does.
Rob and I are doing quite well. Looking forward to the holiday weekend. We have been invited to a BBQ at Sharrie's on Sunday night to see if her husband Bobby can light the house on fire. ($150 worth of fireworks!) Sharie and family became parents to two new members of their family this week - Polly and Maggie - 2 adorable dogs. Can't wait to meet them.
We also plan to visit both Grammy and Sally this weekend. So we'll do that before the BBQ, so that we will be truly ready to drink. :)
Monday's plans are a BBQ at Cindy and Joe's in the afternoon, followed by fireworks viewing somewhere. I'd love to go to the Esplanade, but it's probably WAY crowded and hot and Rob will be cranky. (OK I will pass on dealing with that!) I still get goosebumps when I hear the 1812 Overture.
14 days until Ozzfest. Rock on. Should be a great time. I'm going with 6 guys. What a hussy I am ! :)
Off to bed.
