I've got a lot of work to do before I am on vacation in less than two weeks.
I'm not ready for fall.
Brag: My sister took her 2.5 year old to the doc today, and he got stickers for being good. He decided he wanted to share with his little brother (due next week), so he put the stickers on his mom's belly. How sweet is that?!

Aw, that's sweet about your nephew!
Very weird random: I just got a call about an hour ago from the H, he sounded really distraught and my heart jumped thinking he had got himself hurt somehow. Luckily for him, that wasn't why he was calling, but he ended up helping a man and was just trying to calm down himself down. H was in a tractor and looked behind him and saw a man screaming and waving for help, apparently he was jogging and got viciously attacked by a swarm of bees. His face was swelling up and he was stung all over, the H stopped and called an ambulance and stayed with him until they showed up. He's not sure if maybe he stirred up the bees while he was working or what, but he said he'd never seen a man in so much pain before and it really shook him up. Poor guy, hopefully he'll be okay.
OPS - I am glad your H is okay. Hopefully the poor guy who was stung is alright. I'm glad YH was there to call someone for help.
Yeah, I asked if he saw any near him and he said the tractor is enclosed (it also has A/C, so it's fancy tractor, I guess) but the guy was behind in an area he had just been in.
He has been stung already once or twice since working this job, but not to that extreme.
I'm not gonna lie, it made me think of the movie My Girl and I did a silent prayer that this dude isn't allergic. So scary.
Yikes OPS! That's scary! I hope both your H and than guy are ok!
I am wearing my winter jacket today and not because it was lonely in the closet and needed an outing, no. Because it is snowing. Seriously!? It's supposed to be nice by the weekend, but snow until Thursday.
I'm going to be eating chicken enchiladas all week. Nobody else in the house will eat them and I made a huge pan.
They are missing out.
Boat-brother is in town for a couple of days and mom asked about going out to eat tonight. I was gonna suggest a Mexican place because enchiladas sound awesome, but he had that for lunch. Womp womp, now I will wait to see what they choose. Hoping it's not BBQ because I'm not in the mood for that today.

It's scary because even if you AREN'T allergic to bees, multiple stings can be toxic to the body. It's good that your H was able to call for help and stay with him though! I can't imagine how shook up he must have been.
I'm home "sick" from work today. I didn't sleep much all night aaaand my little dog ate garbage (with help from big dog) and is vomiting and bloated. Poor girls belly is finally starting to soften and she's sleeping but I was thinking we were going to make emergency trips today and was freaking out for a while. So, now I feel guilty because I'm not at work but I'm having the best lazy day. Haha.

Texans don't eat BBQ every day??? LOL
My random is I just watched the Apple event and I can't wait for the new iphone to come out.
Well, yeah, like all summer long... I've reached my BBQ tipping point for the year. I could go without for at least a month. Unless it's bacon-wrapped-jalapenos, then I'll take some of those.
I saw there's a watch and a wallet now? Weird, but cool, I guess. Hopefully the watch has a different kind of battery so it doesn't die daily without being charged like the phones do.

LOL, no wallet. It is a wallet feature. You can store all your CC bank info in the phone, and then open the "virtual wallet" select which CC you want to pay with and I think through bluetooth it will make the transaction.

Oh, that's what I get for only reading some of the FB updates and not watching the full presentation.
I guess I'd be paranoid about the phone coming up missing with all that information on it... but I hope there's some super secure lockdown feature for those who might be in that circumstance and have their CC information out there. It is amazing the new features they continuously come up with, though!

My co-worker is out sick for the 2nd day in a row. While I have been shown how to do part of her job, that was in January and 1) I've learned so much more since then and 2) her job has increased in complexity since then. It's critical that this part be done in a timely manner, so I'll be spending my morning figuring out how to do it. Wish me luck.
I am listening to the "Best of Ja Rule" right now and it is awesome.
I love him. What ever happened to him?
I remember him being in jail, but couldn't remember why. Wiki helped remind me:
"In July 2007, Ja Rule was arrested for gun and drug possession charges along with Lil Wayne, and Don Rhys who served eight months in prison during 2010 for attempted possession of a weapon stemming from the arrest.[37][38][39] New York Supreme Court judge Richard Carruthers rejected Ja Rule's argument that the gun was illegally obtained evidence.[40][41] On December 13, 2010, Ja Rule received a two-year prison sentence after pleading guilty to attempted possession of a weapon after the aforementioned 2007 concert. On March 8, 2011, Ja Rule's surrender date for his two-year prison sentence was set for June 8.[42] His publicist said that Ja Rule will turn himself in to authorities. He went to Rikers Island first, then he was sent to a state facility in Upstate New York.[43]
In July 2011, Ja Rule received an additional 28-month prison sentence for tax evasion, to run concurrently with his state term, failing to pay taxes on more than $3 million in earnings between 2004-2006.[44] He was released from state prison on February 21, 2013, but was immediately taken into federal custody for the tax case, for which he had less than six months remaining on his sentence.[45] Ja Rule was held in Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center and was set to be released in July 28, 2013. Ja Rule was released from prison early on May 7, 2013"
Maybe he'll get some new music going now that he's been out!
