What a week!

Well, it was an exciting week at the Mutual Fund Store, and I'm not talking about the 4%+ drop in the Market. Wednesday, there was alot of commotion in the Lobby. When I went to check it out, I found that a Movie was being made in the Building. Thursday, they were filming in front of our office, in the hallway. Friday again outside our window. The video is through that window. Can you figure out who the star is? It's Harry Connick Jr. The only thing between Harry and me was a mirrored window and about 2 feet. I tried to meet Harry and we were even invited to lunch with the Movie Crew (but that didn't work out). The movie is "Living Proof", is for TV and it will be released in October. I'll send info when it gets closer to the release.

Jim's Party


Yes - There were men at the party, but we looked much better then them. As you can tell we had a great time. Only happy faces. Jim got some great gifts and, of course, some gag gifts (age appropriate). Hard to tell by this picture, but I asked everyone to wear black. It took Jim about 8 guests into the party to realize that there was an unusual amount of black attire for the evening. He thought it was funny. I also had a little Q& A session about Jim. I asked questions like: What was Jim favorite sports team? (a. Raven, B. Redskins, c. Staints) What Right Wing Christian Organization did Jim Belong to? (a. Luteran's for Lesibians, b. Gay Nazi's for Christ, c. LDS - Baltimore Polygamy Sect) No offense to any Religious Groups. It was fun and we had a great laugh at Jim's expense. We had way too much food (a contant battle at our parties is how much to feed everyone- Jim wants more, I (in true McDonald fashion) go for just enough.) The family ate sandwiches and chicken wings all week. Bye and Bye we had a great time. Maybe for number 60, I'll plan enough ahead,to get some family members here. You've got 10 years to paln for it.

Jim turned 50


Jim turned 50 last week. The picture is of his cublicle at work, and that is underwear not diapers. Why might you ask is underwear stung across his cubicle? Funny story! A couple of months ago, Jim went biking with a fellow co-worker straight from work. So he had to change in the office bathroom into his bike gear. On his way out of the bathroom, he inadvertently dropped his underwear on the floor and went on a bike ride. Well, is was found by others and pinned to the bullentin board (knowing full well that they were Jim's). And as you can tell he has never been able to live it down.

What a night







Last night was Erin's Ring Ceremony at the High School. The ring ceremony is the presentaion of their High School Rings to the Junior Class and the official declaration that they are now Seniors. Anyways we were running late (for a good seat) but managed to get there a couple of minutes before it started (Thank God we live a mile from the School) Oh! in my haste I forgot the camera - sorry no pictures. Well, the weather outside was horrible, the sky was a bit green, Erin was convinced that we were all going to die because a Tornado was coming. We pictured the headline on Morning Paper, "MHS Entire Class of 2009 gone due to Tornado hitting the building during Ring Ceramony". Anyways I diverge. The ceremony (which I thought was going to be special and a tear jerker) was a dissappointment. We couldn't hear a word of what the speakers were saying, mainly because the PA system sucked, we were in the highest seat possible and the fact we were in a building with a Tin Roof during a terentual down pour. We later learning that Mandeville got 7 inches in a hour. Here's the Kicker. After the ceramony as people started to leave, they came back with news that the parking lot was flooded. In some cases, the water was up to the side mirrors on the cars. As people went out to check their cars, they all came back with the same story. The parking lot was under 2 - 4 feet of water. Of course, we took the new car. Luckily, Jim got to the car and found that the water was only up 1/2 on the wheels and nothing in the car. Whew! Thank God we were late and ended up parking on the high ground. Unfortunately, many of our friends did not have the same experience. If I can find any picture I'll post them. In the end we got a bit wet but still ended up with a Senior. (I'm gonna cry). UPDATE: This is a picture Erin's High School Ring
