Sunday Morning Blog

I guess it time I check in again. I have been busy, and then there is the sleep thing. sometimes I lay there and cant get to sleep, so i wake up too late and still want to sleep. Ok, been there, blogged that. this past /wednesday we had the bake sake at work for the Relay for life. We had put up sign up sheets for people to sign up to bring stuff. But, like most of those sheets, they don't always get filled out. As the day came closer, we didn't know if we would have enough stuff to sell to make money. We shouldn't have worried, the folks came through. We had so many baked items, and store bought items that we had left overs. We sold for 24 hours, but couldn't sell it all. it finally got sent to the company store and sold there. I think we sold somewhere around 1200.00. that is pretty good. Last year we did $1100.00. Always do better than last time. I will find out this week what the final total was.

On Saturday we went to a loyalty BBQ out at the post. it was sort of a continuation of last weeks thing. I didn't remember being told about it, so i didn't know i was supposed to bring something. We showed up empty handed, we don't usually do this. Oh well, we got over it. There was a lot of really good food, chicken, ribs n country boneless ribs. john went directly to the grill. He really is the best at the grill. Pretty soon we got to eat. I hadn't eaten anything but a bag of peanuts and i was starving. I filled my plate and snarfed it all down. what a piggy i was.

After we ate, they handed out certificates. John got one for all the help he does out there. He is on the speed dial of the commander, and will go out there when so many wont. that is the kind of guy he is though. there are about ten guys like that out there that always get asked and agree to help. We all need these people. they keep us going. I took pics all day. Pretty much from the time i got there. I haven't looked at them yet, so none here. I'm gonna load them on the other puter. I also found out al the pics they had were burned in the fire. So i need to copy everything I have to disk and hand it over to them. I knew there was a reason I did this stuff.

It was a fun day, we got there at noon, ate, drank and enjoyed each others company. We finally left a little after 8. I washed the dirt off my feet from wearing flops all day, and slipped into my jams. I was gonna watch a little tv, but my body dragged me off to bed. Unfortunately, I woke up at 230, and so here I am, writing in the middle of the night. there is that sleep thing again.

Oh a little update. I finally made it over my goal of 100.00 for the Relay For Life. I am currently at 145.00 and I raised the goal to 200.00. I know times are getting harder for people with the price of food n gas, so this is that much more meaningful. I have until June, so I hope to beat what I did last year on this too.

I think that is it for now. If I think of anything else, you know I will put it here first. See ya all later.
