You just know it is going to be a rough day shortly after you wake up and stupid things happen. The doggie door on my back door somehow got stuck open when Joanie and Diablo went outside in the middle of the night and I had flies in my house. Before I left for work, I swatted three male flies and two female flies.

Now I am sure, you asking yourself - how did I know that they were male and female flies.......three flies were on a beer can and the other two were on the phone.

Today, it was simply one of those mornings where I forgot where I placed my car keys and when I found them and drove off to work quickly later realizing that I forgot a co-worker's Step Two grievance paperwork so I had to drive back home, and by the time I got to work, I was was ten minutes late with the the first truck waiting outside. Part of my job is to unlock the gate, turn off the alarm system and unload the first truck.

Basically after that, my day went downhill.....

Luckily, I am back home and away from work and tomorrow will be a better day. When I got on here I noticed that my wedding cake pics did not post - so I reposted them today. Also, I am afraid my last two messages did not get sent - but I am not certain of that. I wrote to Carrie and John and, well, I think I had a 'puter problem when I wrote my last blog. My Norton Security says everything is fine on this end. I have been thinking about what the problem is?

Could it possibly one of our newer bloggers - Guy Nohrenberg? Does he REALLY know me? If this is true, Guy has got the goods on me! He told me that he worked in Colorado! I remember all of my past supervisor's names - except for a "one-month wonder" nicknamed "Droopy Drawers." I really don't remember Droopy Drawer's real name but he was WAY older than Guy! Droopy Drawers never owned a belt and badly needed one - I know they aren't the same people. I don't know who Tony Plante is, but I know Theresa Panos is the DPS Coordinator in Denver. Hmmmm......

I hope Guy didn't hear about the time last April when I stuck a Post-It note underneath the station manager's computer mouse with the words "April's Fool" written on it. 

Perhaps it was from eight years ago, when my rural carrier bud and I bought some pants and shoes from the Goodwill store. We stuff the pants with NOVM and stapled on the shoes. We had them placed in all the bathroom stalls in a "sitting"  position and locked all of the stalls after we crawled out. The tape recorder behind one of the stalls had the appropriate sound effects. Perhaps, Guy found out it was us - and we never knew........or it could just simply be a computer glitch on my end and I am all paranoid now :)

I am utilizing the rest of blog to answer some questions in case my messages don't go through again. Spauldo wanted to know about making an Amaretto Mousse Cake

If she is like me, recipes are a "guideline", so you may substitute whatever you wish:

Amaretto Mousse Cake

4 egg yolks, slightly beatened

My message to Carrie was one that I think didn't go through on Tuesday, but I'm not completely sure. I was reading her comment about popping out of one of my cakes! OMG!!!! I would have a snappy comeback but it is very difficult to type one-handed!! That would be the most fun I have ever had cake-decorating EVER!! Um.......perhaps John from SW Kansas could help me out with this one.....you have seen his pics people, he does good work. The guy is already on page one of the "most viewed pics" this month.

My day started off on the wrong foot, but I feel much better now after writing this blog. Sometimes blogs can be theraputic.

How much is my bill Dr. Wakefield?
