Somewhere Over The Rainbow

Vacation was nice. Not enough cheese, though what we had was very good (especially the fried gouda bites at the hotel we stayed at). The Kohler factory was wonderful (although they had water in the bathtub I wanted to get into, but I still manage to sink into one of the empty ones- clothed, except for the shoes, in case you were wondering) and we went to the visitor's center for Caterpillar and got to get up in the cabs of some real heavy duty machinery. So my inner girly-girl and my inner tomboy were very happy. I did tire my mom out though so this might have been the last big road trip we take together.

Trying to figure out what to write for NaNo this year. I had an idea, but it's a little bit of a downer and I think I need something light. I've been on the new website and I don't care for it. I'm sure I'll either get used to it or else just go in once a day to update the word count and otherwise be done with it.

I'm happy the hockey season is close. It's been far too long and I start to get a little wiggy the longer I'm away from the arena. I'll be back there on Tuesday, thank goodness. A day at training camp helped a little, but there's nothing like a real game to get me to relax.

Work was still there when I got back from vacation. It's nice to be needed, but it took 3 days to weed through the e-mails and paperwork that the person filling in for me didn't entirely do correctly (polite way of saying half-a***d). I got caught up for a minute, but two of my guys dumped 5 jobs on me at the end of the day, so it's back to square one. We have a staff meeting tomorrow to talk about programs. Yawn.

Hope you all are well. Drop me a comment and say hi (or if you've got a great idea for a novel that you don't want to write, let me know that too).
