I made a chocolate cake for Ashley this evening. Too bad he decided to go to bed before eating a slice. Guess he'll have to wait till tomorrow.
Two Letterjackets were completed tonight, I look forward to getting them.
Tomorrow is the County interview. I took the day off so I can get there for 3pm without having to run back up to Helena. I am planning on cleaning and sewing before I need to walk to the interview.
It just amazes me how people think since they are in a profession for a certain amount of years and they know everything. The smart person will realize that they can learn on a daily basis.
We had our taxes done this morning, ended up not looking to bad. refund from the State, Owe Federal. Found out after work that it was rejected. Now we have to find out from Lorien @ Vision Quest, or Mia to get it right. So I guess they get called tomorrow.

Repairs and Such....

Ashley had to make a trip to PA for 2 funerals. That was hard enough for one but when there are 2 family funerals in the same week it is difficult. The only good thing was that he was able to visit with family that was not seen for a long time. It was a hard week for me also, I missed him very much. Afterall he is my best bud.
Well I had to work yesterday, as I will have to next Saturday also. I have an interview for the 911 dispatcher on Tuesday. I hope I get it as I need a fulltime position. The benefits would be great.
So while I am at work Ashley decided to do some repair work in the bathroom. He took the Shower doors down and hung up some new curtains. All we have to do is remove the caulking, clean really well, and re-caulk. We found out the shower door is the main reason we were have leaking problems. We will do the repair work ourselves instead of getting someone else to do it. The plumber we had out this week gave Ashley the much needed advice to do it himself, and the confidence.
I received a letterjacket this week. Finished it the same night.
Ashley's 51st Birthday was Friday night. I took him to Applebee's. Jack & Jenny joined us, and we had a really fun time.
I am working on a quilt, 2 actually. One I have laid out- trying to figure out what layout I want to use. The second I am working on the blocks. Both are strip quilts.
 Japan was a victim of an earthquake and a resulting tsunami. Devastating for them, the numbers are not all in and it will be a while to get them as the bounce back will be a long haul for them. I feel bad and am wondering what we can do to help.
Well Duke is on in an hour so I need to get showered.
