Frog and Goat

The Niece is spending Friday night at our house. It will be the first time she’s spent the night at our house and we’re pretty excited. We went shopping tonight to get a few things to make her feel right at home. And, well, there are just cool nifty things you have to have when you are having what will amount to a massive amount of snacking and running around like crazy NUTS.

When I saw the following, I stopped dead in my tracks and said, “we have to buy this, can’t we buy this” and the better-half said, “well we do have a lounge”.

It is almost lunchtime and the only thing I brought with me today is a chicken salad sandwich. I have an aging bag of cookies in my desk that I don’t really feel like eating. I just put the menu for the bar next door back in my desk because who really needs to start the week with mozarella sticks or jalapeno poppers–OK, I really do but I must not give into temptation. I did a lot of that over the weekend. A lot of liquid temptation.

And, I didn’t sleep worth a darn last night so I’m thinking the combination of delicious bar snacks and sleepiness won’t make for much productivity this afternoon and I really need to get some things finished.

An update to the horrific training last week: Their boss is being sent on the road to talk to them. The trainers are teaching another course this week and there’s a lot more at stake this time around…bigger class, less experienced trainees, etc. It will be interesting to see what happens. I hope the outcome is good even if there’s a little struggle to get to good. The trainers and the trainees deserve better.
