Crazy, just crazy
The weather last night was nuts! I can't believe Wisconsin and Missouri had tornadoes in January! That's just plain bizarre! I heard there were 2 people dead in Missouri. I didn't say anything rude either.
Then I read in this morning's paper about a guy in Sioux City, Iowa, (which explains a lot) who killed his 2 stepdaughters when a "spell" he cast went bad. Too bad it didn't go bad enough to kill him too, I'm thinking. What the heck is going on? I tell you, there's meth in the water up there - seepage into the ground water from all the meth labs. I'm sure of it.
In a more sane direction... Our Police Chief is retiring. I think he's been the best thing to happen in Omaha for a long time. He was the first black Police Chief we had an he did a terrific job! I used to work for Chief Warren (back then we called him Tommy, actually) , when I worked for Internal Affairs and he was the lieutenant in charge of Backgrounds. He scared the heck out of me at first, but he does have a wonderful, albeit dry, sense of humor. He's one of the most fair minded individuals I know too, which I think really helped with the racial situation in Omaha. I used to work for the interim chief too. I've known him for over over 18 years, as a matter of fact, I was working for him when he was a contestant on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? And just for the record, he never even bought me lunch afterward! LOL! Although he did have a huge party at his house the night the show aired.
I was hoping to get to go to Minneapolis next Monday along with one or both of my sisters, to see our brother, but it doesn't look like luck is with me for that day. Steve came home for lunch today and told me has has to go to Arkansas for the whole week next week and that would leave no one home to tend the dogs on Monday into Tuesday. Oh well, maybe the weather will be nicer another time he has to go. In retrospect though, who has the worst luck? Me, who can't go to Minneapolis, or Steve who has to spend a week in Russellville, Arkansas? I'm thinkin' it's Steve. LOL! Later!

I accomplished a little...
It was a productive weekend. I didn't get the Christmas stuff put away, but I did get my half of the closet cleaned, and that was a big job! I had about 3 baskets of clothes that needed to be put away, but didn't have any room because my summer clothes were still hanging around. I never got around to putting it away this fall! So yesterday and today I worked on getting rid of clothes I haven't worn in awhile, putting away my summer stuff, and putting aside some things for my friend who said she'd take sweaters and stuff I no longer needed. I actually took a huge bag of stuff to Goodwill and I have another whole bag to take up to work, AND I filled a storage bin and a small box full of summer stuff. Whew! Now we can actually walk in our walk-in closet! Tomorrow I just might tackle the closet in the hallway! Or not.
Dinner at the Spaghetti Works was fun last night. It's been a long time since I was there. They've expanded the restaurant and it was nice. The menu was expanded too, but we all settled for the old stand by stuff... Mostaccoli and sweet Italian sausage for me. Yum. I especially like the salad bar too, and the garlic bread wasn't so bad... It was good to see Mike too, he's grown his hair back (no more shaving his head), and has a beard. It feels like forever since they moved, but I think it was just because they missed the holidays that it feels like they've been gone so long. The whole family might be back in March - it'll be nice to see Amy and the kids again.
I slept like a log last night, finally! I couldn't get to sleep, but once I did I didn't wake up until after 12 this afternoon. I heard Steve get up with the dogs to give them breakfast, but he came back to bed and slept as long as I did. Maybe, although I don't remember him getting up and going to work everyday, his getting ready just disturbs my sleep enough that I don't sleep well after he leaves. It would certainly help if he would shave and blow dry his hair in the other bathroom, but whatever. He used to, I'm not sure why he doesn't anymore. Maybe I'll mention it to him.
I guess that's it for my exciting weekend, hope you didn't get too excited reading about all my adventures... LOL
