My sister

My sister Della and her family came for a visit last week. Karl and I went on a triple date with Della and her hubby Chris and Della's best friend growing up- Holly, with her hubby Tim. One morning Della and Holly and I went to get pedicures, which is something I only indulge in when my sister's are in town. Here is a picture of Della and I the night before she went home:

Here is a picture of us being silly.

I enjoyed her visit and I will miss her. With any luck they'll come visit again soon, or I'll win free tickets to Virginia to visit her... I like coming from a large family, but when we're all spread out it makes it hard to visit often. Fortunately I have unlimited long distance on my phone, that makes it possible to stay in touch with my siblings, along with email, and of course blogs...

Toilet Paper

Today we had something funny happen at work. I got there at about 9:30, one employee, let's call her M, was already there and was really frustrated at the lack of toilet paper. M asked me to go buy some, because she had asked two other employees, T and C to buy some and neither had. So I went to Sam's Club and bought a 36 pack of toilet paper.
I got back to the store to find that M had walked across the parking lot and borrowed some toilet paper from another store.
About an hour later T arrived at the store, carrying a 50 pack of toilet paper. I laughed when I saw it and explained that M had asked me to buy some, he laughed too and said it was ok because we'd use it eventually.
About another hour passed and C showed up, carrying.....toilet paper. This one was only a 12 pack. T was nearby when C showed up and the 3 of us had a good laugh. I decided that next time M says we have an emergency that I'll wait and see if it really is one.

Breaking Dawn 2

Well, I'm done and it is definitely a good book!

Breaking Dawn

So in 30 minutes the 4th book to the Twilight series goes on sale, and I'll probably have it read before I post again. I have been reading some fun things about the book release tonight. There are parties at tons of book stores and of course people are dressed up as vampires. The part I think is funny is that there are also multiple blood drives as a part of the book release. I think that's great. Hope you all enjoy it too.
