Re: Say It Again...Say Anything.
My kick ass nephew (the 11 year old who dressed as rick astley for halloween) just got back from a bigfoot hunting trip in OK. He went with his dad as bonding thing, at Cameron's request. They weren't interested in shooting bigfoot or anything, just seeing if he's out there. They stayed in a cabin that the owner said most people leave terrified in the morning from the noises (big foot screams and stuff) they hear at night. We're going over tonight to hear about the trip and I can't wait.
**disclaimer-we are not a crazy family of bigfoot people, but I admit it's more fun to believe they exist then don't. there's no fun in reality sometimes.
I would like a full account of his trip as well. I want to know if he saw bigfoot!
Yup. I have some good news I'd like to post in the Good news thread, but since I have a mysterious IL lurker, it will not be shared.
Halfpint - is your gchat blowing up?
I love our HR department. I missed open enrollment because I just forgot to do it. I only use our FSA benefits. One of the HR directors emailed me to see if I was still planning to use the flex spending and what amounts so they could put me in.
It's madness, madness I tell you!
I kind of want to die right now. We use DH's health insurance. We haven't done open enrollment with them for years because we never change anything. Well, the deadline was Friday and I saw the form on the counter today that said EVERYONE must re-enroll this year. FUUUUUCCCKKKK!
To top it off, my open enrollment deadline was Friday as well and since I don't use our insurance, I don't change anything.
I have a frantic phone call and emails into my HR department to see if I can still get on. Praying they say yes.
I have a friend whose DH is a super serious big foot hunter in his spare time. He travels all over the country.
Crisis averted. 1) My company has fabulous HR people and they were ready to enroll me. 2) I called DH's company and they said no prob and sent me the forms. PHEW.
Exactly. The final enrollment date is most of the time flexible. Glad that worked out
Awesome! Now I need to go reenroll myself so that I don't miss my own benefits!
I was hoping they had a cushion, I just hate being "that employee". I want to do something nice for our benefits people as a thank you for stepping up and calming me down even though I didn't end up using ours...suggestions?
baked goods... you can never go wrong. or if they are coffee people, starbucks cards?
Ditto. I admit I was reading about alleged lake monsters on wikipedia yesterday. It is way more fun to believe.

My parents were over at our house last night while I was putting Cooper to bed. Pre-bath we ask C if he needs to potty, he usually does and all is good.
Well, if he doesn't lean forward far enough pee goes everywhere-- except in the toilet --it's like a little sprinkler. My mom, who only had girls, thought the whole thing was hysterical and was laughing so hard I thought SHE was going to pee, which in turn made Cooper think it was hysterical. I swear he squeezed out extra pee just so grammy would laugh. God bless the inventor of clorox wipes.
they had a blast. it's a tiny town with one store and a dumpster. you hear things in the night, one night something stood behind them and snorted twice but they didn't catch a glimpse of what it was in the dark. Cameron swears he saw a dark tall figure about 13 feet tall (it was near a pole they later measured at 9 feet) staring at him. They found a huge footprint like track in the daytime. it sounded like fun actually, terrifying to be out in the dark with the unknown but still fun.
Sounds like fun for them! I'd be kind of creeped out!
the more I think about my MIL and what to get her the more annoyed I get with her and the less I am excited about seeing her next week.
Trying to talk Matt into it?
I have never made or even eaten bread pudding before. My boss's neice (she works here) requested that I make it for my boss's birthday.
OMfreakinggoodness. So good. I made Emerill's recipe for apple bread pudding with hard cider sauce. Highly recommend it!
Do it. He's a good sport.
I did Paula Deen's chocolate bread pudding a couple of years ago and it was divine. Chad loves bread pudding... It's probably his favorite dessert, but that's because it doesn't normally have chocolate in it. lol
I'll have to give Emerill's a try; it sounds super yummy!
