Back after it!

Back to work today after 5 days off.  *sigh*  When the alarm went off at 5am I forced myself up, hobbled to the shower, slapped some make-up on my face and got back after it.  **double sigh**  There was a fairly light load of work considering the office was closed several days in a row.  The media log only had a few errors to clean up but the arrest log was a little trickier to do.  One booking entry was deleted by accident.  The Officer was able to re-enter the info but all the jail logs were on the old entry that was deleted.  So all that had to be pulled out of one program and added back to the new entry.  My boss had to fix that part.  One of the places that all this info is sent to is called Owassoisms.  The lady that runs this site is very good at what she does.  It isn't easy to find a balance between the public's wish to know and public safety.  I like the way her site still has the "small town" feel to it.  If you would like to read about our little town you can find all kinds of stories on her site at http://www.owasso411.com/ or you can follow Owassoisms on Facebook.

I did have a small pile of headache requests on my desk from my days off.  I call them headaches because they are all the odd ball things that seldom come up and it takes time and extra effort to get through them.  The first thing I picked up after lunch was a request for a 2011 child drowning report from the Consumer Product Safety Commission.  I hope that reports like this don't lead to excessive new rules or regulations.  I know public safety is an issue but if I want a small pool in my backyard I don't want there to be so many rules that I can't afford one OR that it becomes to much trouble and takes all of the fun out of it.  I will just hope for common sense to rule. 
Having CAUTION CONTENTS HOT all over McDonald's coffee lids does not follow common sense.  What does follow is somebody suing them when they spilled their hot coffee in their own lap.  Go figure, coffee is hot.  At least I think it should be.  Unless you order the ice coffee, then of course it should be cold.  I wonder if they will ever be sued and have to put CAUTION CONTENTS ICY COLD?
 
Turkey day was good.  The turkey turned out juicy, the mashed potatoes were creamy and fluffy, Mattie did her normal excellent job on the green bean casserole, the dressing was good even if I did almost forget it, there weren't any lumps in the gravy, the corn was extra yummy with butter melted all over it, the bread wasn't bad considering it was just heat and serve.  (I didn't have the time or energy to make yeast rolls from scratch!)  Oh!  Then there were the desserts.  Oh my the Pie.  I do like Pecan Pie, and Pumpkin Pie.  The Cheese Cake wasn't to bad either.  Thank goodness it is all gone now.  Well, except for the cookies Kita made.  I am gonna have to take them to work to save me from eating them all!  I was supposed to go back to watching my carbs today after eating all I wanted over Thanksgiving.  But there was a conspiracy against me and I failed.  The candy maker turned lawyer made fudge. 
It was the best ever fudge too! 
Carmel Pecan.
Oh My! 
I say was because my hubby helped eat it all gone.  Not saying he ate it all cause I ate my share. 
I wasn't supposed to eat sugar today.
Darn It! 
I will try again tomorrow.  He can't make fudge two days in a row.  I hope!
