[ohiofarmgirl]

so today i've met all my objectives and achieved several more (*whips out power point presentation*)...

as you can see here(next slide please), here (next slide please), and here (final slide please)

there are the objectives with a check mark and were completed in accord with the "by when" date on the schedule:

* got lazy self up, actually put on clothes including shoes
* checked to see if we have any more goats (status: nope, still preggers - the goat not me)
* completed my good dead for the day (pawned off some eggs)
* completed to a 'meets minimal standards level; the monday morning house shovel out

and am currently making a big ol pot of chili, two loaves of bread, and.... thats right.. blondies. whoot! not even brownies.. but blondies.

i LOVE him - all of his recipes work, easy instructions...and he's a fellow ohioan. yay Drew! i'm using his recipe and cant wait until they are done!

so i think we can close this meeting. thank you all for attending. tomorrow i will add a meeting to all of your calenders so we can agree on our next meeting.


ps i've briefly touch on my ex-corporate self today. i've been carrying around a clip board and have been asking all the cats what their goals are for this week and if they are ready for the 'brain storming' meeting later (no bad ideas people!). we'll have a team building event afterwards.

I informed the dogs that they will have to start doing their share of the work around here. They just looked at me and laid their heads back down.

I actually saw the sun today. Even had to squint my eyes from the brightness!

Ahhh, I sooo needed that!!! I've been in a foul mood all week and it is only Monday. Thank you so much!



I have a good friend that got a mont blanc pen as an award at her office for top biller. For the rest of the year she went around with her new pen and a clip board prop asking her co-workers, "Do you need me to sign anything?" as if she were the boss. It made everyone laugh. She flaunted that silly little pen around until it ran out of ink.

ETA: some strange smilie just showed up.

oh no! sorry you're glum today BBH... perk up! nothing but upside..now that monday is almost over we can start the gentle slide to the weekend.

K - i've been having problems with these slackers all day long. i'm putting them all on Performance Improvement Plans.

and frankly, all of these people (cats/dogs/geese etc) are nuts today. we've had two dog beatings (same dog twice.. ) and we had to put two of the younger cats in time out for excessive speed and unnecessary ridiculousness...our biggest cat, Nicholas, got a time out for Conduct Unbecoming.... its been nothing be cat refereeing all day!

and Teddi Grumpkins, our older cat not given to silliness, sat in front of a shiny pot lid and stared angrily at herself (the "other cat" ) for about 20 mins. she finally looked around the lid to find that other cat...and then stomped off angrily when there wasnt anyone else there.

and the turkeys are all in a flap out there. we are so glad to put eveyone to bed soon.

will all of this we are fully expecting those goat babies to come shooting out of debbie like a cannon....

come one full moon, hurry up and get over with! sheesh!

Sounds like you need some warm balmy breezes and swaying in a hammock on a beach.

(I used to hate to go to those meetings and then have to plan another one, then another. My most fun was to wait until all the ideas had been beat to death and resolved, the I'd pop up and say, "But wait, wasn't our goal to.......? - then they had to start over. I missed a meeting once and one of the other women called me and said, "I pulled a Karen today"!)

i have no shame. i'll go to any meeting that had food.

ah the worst meeting etiquette breaker was the guy who was on the 60 person conference call - didnt mute his phone.. and flushed the toilet.

i think that was the moment i knew i had to get away from the corporate grind.

Ewwwwwww!

Sounds like an interesting day on the farm.

Wow, when is that goatie gonna spit out a kid??

 

[ohiofarmgirl]

ughgh! that goatie needs to get on with it. the waiting is driving me nuts!

she was with the neighbors buck for 3 weeks... after 2 weeks we brought her home b/c we saw them 'do it' (yikes!). well then she stood in the yard and screamed for him.. so we took her back...and more goat romance.

so

should be anytime -- until the 2nd week in march. for heavens sakes.
