Now there's a coincidence! LOL

Hiya BetterMost friends.
Well, I haven't seen "the end" but I do see the end of the work week today! ;D
Confirmed my meeting this evening with friends for Chinese food at 7:15. Can't stay too late, as I have to get up early to drive to Pa. with the parents tomorrow.
Let's see, what else is new?? My car just passed the 138K mile mark, my lease was renewed for the apartment, and they raised my rent by $5.00 a month.
Other than that, status quo at the mo.

According to NCIS boss Gibbs (Mark Harmon) and his set of rules, #9 is that there ARE no coincidences.

That's where mom's parents are buried, and each year she sends palm crosses to the family there, so they can put them on the grave for her. This year the family is on the sick side (bad backs and such) so mom and dad are making the three hour drive to do it themselves. Being 76 and 71, I'd offered to go with them, so I can drive the trip back. We hope to be home by about 2:00 or so the same day.

Yes, that was the plan today. We got up at 6:30, went to a diner for breakfast, and then hit the road for the 3 hour drive to Pa. I slept the whole way there, my job was to drive home.
We had called some family and planned to meet after getting to the cemetery to place the crosses, 5 of them, on 5 different gravesites.
However, my parents didn't remember that Pa. is much cooler than we are here in NJ. We got to the cemetery, and the ground was completely frozen, and there was no way these crosses were going in. My dad and I even tried hammering a crowbar into the ground to make the hole, and the hammer just bounced off the crowbar.
We did still visit relatives, and we left the crosses with them, and they offered to put them on the graves once the ground thaws, or go up with fishing wire and tie them to the stones.
I drove home and we got back about 3:30 this afternoon. I'm still at mom and dad's place, waiting for the laundry to finish.

Hiya BetterMost friends.
Because we all need a little cuteness in our lives.
;D
Monday, back at work in my cubicle. My new car insurance policy arrived over the weekend, I just mailed out the check.
strange dreams last night prevented real sleep, but I'm hopeful for tonight. LOL They weren't nightmares, just odd dreams about work.
Apartment was cleaned, and I'm feeling good overall as of late.
Hope you all can say the same!
