Catching Up

When our Tijuana employees actually get back to work tomorrow and our HR Manager down there can respond to my questions... AND when I finish yet another SOX self-assessment tomorrow... I'll be CAUGHT UP!!! Well, I also have to finish sending all these "Congrats! You've Been Nominated To Go To Cannes!" notifications. And I'm kinda irritated about that. I wonder if anyone would notice if I slide about 20 nominations for myself in there?! Shoot... no one would even KNOW... seeing as how they basically turned the management of this whole program over to me! I think it's only fair that I get to go when I've produced the whole thing. Yes? No? Not so much? Yeah, I didn't think so either. But imagine the pool-lounging I could do in the South of France! Ahhh... what a wonderful thing to imagine. :)

And these employees who are receiving 2, 3, 4 nominations... seriously, BITE ME. ;) But it's great that we have so many employees whose colleagues are that impressed with them, huh?!

So, today in Statesboro... I do believe some smoke in the air caused an extra-stifling greenhouse effect. The smoke basically held incredibly hot air down here right over my house. The kiddies and I went for a bike ride about 3:30, and the wind made us hotter. How is that possible? It's hot & humid when the air's still. When the air moves, it feels about 20 degrees warmer. I'm not complaining, though. I love the heat. But I will complain about the smoke. What in the world? Smoke stinks.

Umm... not much else going on. I am giving up fast food this week. Don't get too excited... it's just for the week. But I figure if I can do it with DC for 40 days and 40 nights, I can give up a few lunches from Sonic and McD's and Zaxby's and Wendy's and Chik-fil-A and Hardee's and KFC and all those other besties who are bad for me. You know I'll be back in, like, no time... but we'll see how I feel once a few days are under my belt. I'm sure tomorrow night I'll be writing an ode to the chicken sandwich. Why am I so weak?!

Finally, in other news, Jon's four years at U of O are now completely paid for. How exciting is that?!?! We're very proud. Yay us!

So, question. How do you spell 'yay'? Should I just say "yeah" and be done with it since I know how to spell that one?! I like the word 'yay'... say it quite often actually. And I've switched between multiple spellings over the course of the last few years. And I want to know what's really correct. What do you think?
