Coffee Fail

At work, we send and receive overnight mail bags between our office and all the branch offices. Some are sent daily and some are sent once or twice a week. We've been having problems with delivery between our office and the one in Denver. Well, in the mail bag we received today, they sent us what appears to be a cup of coffee. Unfortunately, it wasn't in a cup - the papers were soaked with it. Also unfortunately, the papers were still slightly damp. Made processing the invoices a joy, let me tell ya ....

Took Henry in for a wash on the way home (he was so filthy, I couldn't stand it any more) and then treated myself to a pedicure. Sure felt good! My toenails are now kind of an orangy color in honor of Halloween. And, speaking of Halloween - for someone who never does anything or goes anywhere, I have plans for Halloween. Actually, I'm supposed to be in two different places on Halloween. And no, they aren't close enough together to manage both. I have a choice of: 1) helping Sis and Ralph with the haunted house; 2) celebrating Duh's birthday at the bar; or 3) lying to both and staying home by myself. Of course, I can't do that because Sis reads this and she'd know I was lying. Darn Sis and her expectations of honesty! I kinda feel like I should go to Duh's party, but I had already made a semi-commitment to Sis. And I'm not one for the bars - especially since this is the same bar that FM goes to once in a while and I think it would be awkward (at least for me) if he were there. Plus, I'm going to be with Duh this weekend (helping with a dance festival) and she says that I am joining them at the harvest festival or whatever it is in November. So - a haunting I will go! Wonder if Sis has a costume and/or idea for me?

I was craving chocolate cake this afternoon and had almost convinced myself to stop at a Black Angus on the way home ... and then an announcement came over the intercom system: "In honor of Bosses' Day, there is cake in the break room!" What a glorious announcement. It wasn't chocolate, but it was yummy. White cake with stromberry filling and buttercream icing. I still want the chocolate cake from Black Angus, but it satisfied the sweet craving long enough to get me home.

Tonight is SURVIVOR and I really hope the Fang tribe doesn't suck too badly. I'm pretty sure they'll suck, but hopefully not as badly as last week. I mean, let's put some effort into those challenges!
