Strike 2

Listening to Hubby tell me about the rain almost made me want to hop on a plane east!  He did inform me that the rain only served to make it more muggy, so I guess I'll just keep hanging out here. *sigh*  They managed to get food delivered today.  That was the good news.  The bad news?  An executive came for a visit today, and pretty much hinted that the strike could go on for awhile.  Of course, no one really knows how long.  It's all pure speculation.  Hubby has a self-imposed schedule of  internet access during his stay.  The hotel charges them $12.00 a day for access, so that adds up pretty fast.  Thank goodness they can't charge for cell phone calls, because I've now talked to him 3 times today.

I had a dinner engagement with some of my friends tonight.  I will start my blessings by being grateful for friends to share the good, the bad, and the truly ugly with.  We had a little of all three tonight.  We were totally entertained by a little girl who will be 1 year old later this month. What a cutie!  We also enjoyed sharing some about our childhoods.  Turns out that three of us were originally from Illinois!  The ugly was when one of our group shared that her husband had left because he is having an affair.  She has two little girls.  Sometimes life is just sad.  At least she knows she can count on each one of us.

I saw another SWAT team action today.  What is going on around here??  Tonight I heard that they are filming a movie in the area, so maybe they were just part of the movie.  Whether or not it's true, I can always pretend!

Blessings for
- Dinner and Dissing with good friends
- The ironing is done!  (at least for a little while)
- T'is the season for fresh fruit!
