Ironic
I get a call from my mother. Rather her phone calls me. I can tell she’s some place busy and loud so I know the conversation will be short. I call her back. She answers I harass her about prank calling me. I found out she’s at a casino. Then immediately after she tells me this she says “I didn’t send your birthday money yet. I don’t get paid until Friday.”

Just got back from the dog park
I took all three. Normally I do not take Conner but I felt it was early enough it would be okay. Conner doesn’t get to go because some of his health issues cause him to throw up a lot if he gets too excited. He did well.
Today was Ink’s first trip. I read that as long as a puppy had ALL of their vaccinations it would be fine to take them to the dog park. Well he’s had all his...

Caleb vs Final work week. Final match BEGIN!
I work in corporate mortgaging. Huge difference then residential type of mortgages. Well December is hell month for us and the final week is super lower shit pits of hell bad. Today is it. We have to have anything and everything fully checked, ready, and willing (or unwilling but tied up and gagged) by 11:00 A.M. The department is broken down into Boss Boss (he is over three departments),...

Ink’s quarantine ends today!
In work related news
We have loaded more loans, I work for the tenth largest corporate mortgaging company, in two days then we normally do in like three months. My poor brain is going to pour out my ears and nose soon.
Brain Derailed
A song came on, that I didn’t even know was on my netbook, while I was working that I had not heard before. It derailed my thoughts for a moment. The lyrics were so appropriate to my life at this moment that I actually played it three times.
oh and
had an interesting text conversation with my baby bro

B-day break down
Got up early and delivered Laura Little’s fudge to my coworkers and left it on their desk in honor of National Caleb Day.
went to benetti’s for breakfast and brunch (spent a long time there) challenged the people working there to just make me something. They did and it was great.
Got lost and ended up in the strawberry hill area. Not sure how I did that but I did.
Made it to the...
Oh additional news for KCers

Don't forget people's today is a holiday too!
Hearing rapid succession of gun fire is never a...
When I first moved into this house I heard it semiregularly and mostly on the 4th and new year’s eve. It tapered off when I started into the second year living here to the point I no longer heard any at random times. Last night and tonight I’ve heard two rapid successions followed by hollering. It is coming from the white trash people on the other side of my neighbors that I like.
I have a drinking problem
Or rather I have a drinking glass problem. I often forget where I put the glass I was using. I give up pretty quick on trying to find it and go get another one. This can be problematic. Most commonly I start finding glasses in odd places or multiple ones in one spot. Tonight it presented a new problem (and ironically I don’t have very many glasses out). I reached for my coffee cup to take a...

Ug I should have learned with Vario
Vario as a puppy was the king of cable chewing. He could devour through a cell phone charger cord or a network cable in no time…
Ink seems to be more suble.
He has been slowly devouring through the network cable. Now I have to order a new one. Thankfully I have wireless that I can log onto with the netbook.
I have just solved the worlds energy problem
We need to capture Santa, his sleigh, and his reindeer.
This was how my thoughts started:
mm this breakfast is yummy… Why doesn’t all the reindeer behind the first get pelted with reindeer poo? Why doesn’t Santa? They most all have some kind of repulsive energy field that just includes incoming objects. So wait! Santa is bending space time, only way he can do all what he does...

Sitting Doing What I've been Doing a lot of lately...
And I believe my coworkers hate me… The assigned me a loan that I’m having to figure percentages for 17 properties… I’m horrid with numbers.
I love winter
I love the cold and snow and ice and the absolutely beautiful crystal clear night sky that you only get in winter. I love the sounds of icy branches clattering and the bite in the air. The smells are more crisp and clean. I could go on and on.
BUT
There is one thing I hate.
My feet refuse to warm up in the winter. No They want to stay just two degrees above being frost bitten and say...
Oh other work news today
My boss asked the department “Who of you is able to travel on business for three to five days?”
You better believe I volunteered.
It’s not set in stone but we may be shipped off to Cleveland, OH next year to do some training.
At least she hinted at the Cleveland office. I hope its not the Dallas office.

Observed Work Birthday and my boss exhibiting some...
Today was my observed birthday at work. There was a whiskey cake, yes it was as awesome as that sounds, and a french silk pie…. I eated too much.
Also we learned earlier in the week that we got to leave at 2. My boss walks in to the department and said “go home” it was 11:30. Didn’t have to tell me twice.
