A Few Of My Favorite Things
Posted by Karla at 6:00pm Friday, August 1, 2008
You all probably thought I’d dropped off the planet, didn’t you? Hooray for those of you are glad I didn’t. Sorry to disappoint for those of you who wish I had. Seriously, the past two weeks have been quite challenging, stressful and downright energy-zapping. The sales rep I work for has been on vacation for two weeks and I’ve been handling all his clients by myself when he normally has me to assist him. And of course, just as Murphy would predict, all of the strange and “this won’t happen until I get back” clients came out of the woodwork, on top of a HUGE project that spanned the entire two weeks and just about had us all in tears at one point. Thankfully our manager/owner stepped in when he realized that project was just too much for me (I think the tears and crying clued him in). Needless to say, there hasn’t been any mental energy left to blog these past couple of weeks and I’m so far behind on reading blogs that I have no idea what anyone is up to. Hopefully I can get back to that starting tomorrow. So as a way to say thanks for not forgetting me, I’m stealing this meme that Brad stole from Brit-Gal Sarah.

It’s becoming quite obvious that we’ve been together a long time. We have many similar answers!

Pink! Now that was unexpected Karla!
And another lover of Galaxy I see, Minstrels are outstanding. We need to sit down and watch The Sound of Music together one day
Sorry work has been so stressful for you, I have a feeling my work is about to go the same way as the kids return next week!
Take care

Karla, I think this part of the summer is just plain busy no matter where we live or what our lives are like. I, too, haven’t visited blogs nearly as often as I like. I wanted to say that I was so touched by the category in which you put my blog. I couldn’t have asked for a nicer description. Thank you so much.

Brad - yes, except somehow I still didn’t know your favorite condiment was ketchup. I contend that you know me better than I know you (or maybe it’s remember rather than know)
Sarah - full of surprises aren’t I? I do love Pink!
We’ll have to make a date of it - watching The Sound of Music while eating Minstrels.
Nan - You are so right. As far as your blog category - I can only describe it as such because it’s so true, my friend.

We have a few points in common chicka! Love the list. Never heard it called a MeMe before either. Glad to hear you survived the war. Well, the battle anyways!
Minstrels eh? Can you get them there? If not, email me your address (i thought i had it…) and I’ll send you a few packets.

Karla,
I like those types of lists, I also can’t believe you like “Pink” surprising.
I wanted to say hello, been a long time chatting from Brocante…hope all is well

Hi Karla! I have been here to visit several times but did not leave a comment. I know, bad me.
I have missed seeing you. I love the new layout you have here..,
I really enjoyed reading your list! I think I am actually the one who originated this. I was asked awhile back to create a list of favorites to share and this was the one I made up. How muc fun to see that it reached so much of blog world!
I enjoyed reading your answers!
Stay well…
