HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

Happy Halloween Everyone! I wish everyone with little ones a Happy and Safe Halloween! Don't let the witches or goblins get you!

I passed, I passed!!

Believe it or not I passed the soil erosion control test I took yesterday! I had one of the highest grades too!! Here I thought I bombed on this test. My boss said he might just put me out in the field some day soon. That would mean more $$ and I would get a second bonus every year based on the profit made on the job I was the assistant project or project manager on!! That would be awesome!! I have given the overview below of what I went through yesterday from 8:30-4:30.


Attend a Charlotte-Mecklenburg Certified Site Inspector (CMCSI) Training Seminar. This is a soil erosion and sedimentation control overview and certification preparation seminar for interested participants. Upon completion, an optional certification test will be administered for those interested in becoming a certified Charlotte-Mecklenburg Certified Site Inspector.

Seminar Topics Include:

Sediment and turbidity water quality impact;
Soil erosion and sedimentation control principles;
Conventional and innovative Best Management Practices (BMP) installation and maintenance;
Problem identification and proactive solutions;
Local ordinances and State regulations; and
Erosion control self-inspection logbook maintenance

Now some of you might think, what in the world would she be interested in that!!! Well when you work in the Commercial construction business this is really important. I am now a Charlotte-Mecklenburg Certified Site Inspector!!!

131 Main Restaurant

This is the restaurant my friend, Pam and I ate at tonight. The food is good but it was really expensive. Their prices have really gone up since the gas crisis. We had a really great time though. We hadn't seen each other since the beginning August. It is really good to see friends and visit.

Feeling some what better today!

I'm feeling much better today! I guess homemade chicken soup and Airborne does work. I'm not 100% better and I'm tired now. From the minute I walked in the door at work this morning until 5:10 tonight I was go, go, go all day. Tonight I'm just going to chill out and read a little and watch some TV while John is at work. Everyone have a great night!

I just finished an amazing book!

This was a wonderful story of Jeanette Walls life. This book will stay with me for quite a few days. The book starts out in present day in NYC, goes to California, Phoenix, AZ, Texas, a small mining town in West Virginia called Welch and then back to NYC. This dysfunctional family really has a strange way of living. Your heart goes out to the children and you want to dislike the parents but then you end up feeling sorry for them. This book I recommend definitely!

Some Nightime Pictures

The other night I took the picture of the little ring around a rosy (or tree in this case) ghosts. One of our neighbors decided to create this cute scene in their front yard. I thought it looked really cute!

The other picture was taken in our backyard looking up at the sky. We thought the sun had set completely because it had gotten so dark but it had not. It was beautiful to behold while we sat outside by the outdoor fireplace!

Under the weather today :(

Not feeling really great today. I have a sinus/head cold. I went into work because there was a pile of things that just had to go out today. I went in and did them and then left at 12:10. I have had hot tea and now a nap is in order.
