I'm at work, goofing off now for the past 2.5 hours. All of our work is computerized and the connection to the national Social Security network is messed up. And I do mean MESSED UP BIGTIME! Yesterday it worked slowly and erratically but today it will not work at all. Now, if I was salaried and being paid anyway, I guess I wouldn't mind but I get paid by the piece for each case that I do each day. So I am earning exactly zero dollars today!!!! Just after I mailed all the rehearsal dinner invitations for my son's wedding, here I come and cannot make a living to help pay for this wedding.
Now, for the good. I do love goofing off, especially on the computer. So I've been looking at all of my emails and blogs and websites. Which is fun but even this is getting boring now. And we usually are supposed to limit our time on the internet but I don't think they can say anything to us today. It is weird that the internet works but not the intranet. The intranet is what they call our network with Social Security upon which all of our work and data are stored.
I've read some baby blogs, gone to the John the Penguin site, gone to the best workout music workout site. But, I can't download anything on this computer so can't work on workout music for me. Much more of this and I'll go home and goof off on my own computer!!!!
Did I tell you guys yesterday that I have a new granddog????? I love animals so this makes me happy and I can't wait to get to see him. Problem is, he lives in California with my son and his wife so I may have to wait a while. I am leaving Friday to go to New York to see my other son and his fiance and work out final details on the rehearsal dinner. The game plan is for me to run my 16 miler on Sunday in New York as the timing doesn't work out on Saturday when Benjamin and Lauren are going into town to meet with the photographer to get to know him and then out to lunch. And, of course, Mom would like to tag along. Country girl goes to town!

Have fun in NY!!
Hey Carol, It was nice talking to you after the run on Saturday. You had some helpful information on the marathon, I'm sure I'll have more as it gets closer! I was reading your blog about biking with your new bike clips and was very entertained! I got some today and am worried that I will do the same! Did you master them? I practiced when I got home and did pretty good, just worried about stopping quickly! Have a great run in New York!
I know how you feel about goofing off. Once in a while, both my attorney bosses are out of the office at the same time which leaves me with nothing to do. I hope to visit New York during my lifetime. It seems like such a fascinating place. Have fun! We'll miss you Saturday!

We will miss you Saturday but you will have a blast in NY. I also have a new grand doggie too, an Italian greyhound. I love dogs too. See you in 2 weeks. Suzanne
Oh the joys of planning a rehearsal dinner from afar. I did that last year for a Georgia wedding and it turned out great, so I'm sure yours will also. At least you get a break from the lawn XT this weekend...or are you doing it before you leave? Hope your visit to NY is great and that you get a lot accomplished!
