Actually, it�s probably more that if I don�t get the time to write while at work, it won�t get done. I just don�t want to get on a computer once I get home. I�m on one all stinkin� day.

I had a rather frustrating day at work today�well, actually it was a fine day until the last few hours. I was trying to learn something new � creating a report for our bank auditors that has to be generated every month. Our system limitations are just unreal. Long story short, creating this report takes waaaaaaaaaay too long because of the numerous steps you have to go through to create it and there has GOT to be an easier way, systematically. I just need to figure out how we can do it better.

Good news is that our department is going out to lunch tomorrow. It�s Christina�s birthday (actually, her b-day is today) and we�re also welcoming the two new ladies to our department. Then Wednesday we�re having a training class and we�ll have lunch brought in that day, so hey � two free meals in a week!

Sondra borrowed my car Saturday to go do her prison-outreach program in Lancaster. It was returned with no problems, much to my relief. Lou and Jeremy and I went to dinner when he brought back my car. Cracks me up � when Jeremy visited for the night a few weeks ago, he was perfectly well-behaved. When we went to dinner, he was back to being his odd self. Whenever his parents are around, he acts like a little shit.

Linda and I are going to meet Barbi and Arnett in Utah (at Larry & Peggy�s) on Sept. 30 and stay there for a few days. Then we�re stopping in Vegas for two nights on the way home. Should be fun. Linda and I are stopping at Zion Canyon on the way up. We�re only staying for one night and she doesn�t do much hiking, per se, but it will be nice to see some nature-beauty. It should be a beautiful time of the year to see Utah, anyway.

John is so cute. He told me over the weekend that he already has a bunch of restaurants picked out to take me to when I visit him over July 4th weekend. Plus, he�s talking about cooking for me while I�m there (actually, bar-b-queing). I�m really looking forward to going up there. I love that area, plus it will be nice to see him for four days. I�m hoping I can see Alissa while I�m up there, too. I�d like to take her and Olinge� to dinner in San Francisco.
