Celebrities At Work?

My handy guy started painting my enclosed front porch yesterday and let's just say in a day or two you are going to see some bright pix :)  I had to call the guy at the tile store today to see if he was able to find 2-3 boxes of the discontinued purple tile - like I'd seen at my physical therapist's place - oh ya there were 20+ boxes available.  I'm thinking to myself "and just how would I have known that since you didn't call me yesterday like you were going to?"  Oh well......I zoomed over to the tile store after work to pay for the tile and I was told it would be a week to 10 days before the boxes would be here.

The other project my handy guy is working on is the floor on the enclosed back porch and it looks - ok.  I called Jon tonight when I got home and we talked about it.  Jon is great - he wants to make sure things look good or work right.  He's not happy with how the floor looks so he wants to try something else tomorrow which I told him sounded good to me.  We both realize I have an old, multiple-time patched concrete floor that he is putting concrete stain on so it won't be "perfect" but maybe it could be better than it looks right now.

And then the place I work - it is absolutely nuts.  Check out the pictures below to see who came to visit one of the guys that was having a birthday today!  :)

I thought my Team Lead (Ann) was going to hyper ventilate wanting to get her picture taken with these two guys :)  I'm like "you know this isn't the real Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons from KISS right?"  She did realize and it didn't matter - she had to have her picture taken with them. 

We have a boom box in the back conference aka garage where we eat when we have our monthly BBQ's (where the dart board and fuseball tables are) and someone got KISS's "Rock And Roll All Night" blaring while these two were there.  Then EVERYONE - almost everyone - had to get their picture taken with the KISS look alikes - not me.  I looked at my boss (Paige) and made the comment that I'm never telling anyone at work anything that I like and she said they have ways of finding things out :)

The birthday boy is the Sales Manager - so this is Steve (middle of the picture) with KISS and the sales team :)

I mentioned how work had sent a floral arrangement for Mom's service - which I thought was awesome.  Well, the arrangement wasn't quite up-to-par but I didn't want to say anything.  Ann and Paige drove down for Mom's service and must have seen which arrangement was from work because when I returned to work yesterday the office manager told me that arrangement was unexceptable, was not what the picture had looked like, work had already received a credit for the arrangement and work would be making a memorial donation in memory of Mom to First Bapist - wow.

I got a chuckle out of an email from my small group leader - LWF is going to be doing a school supply giveaway on August 6th for the children in the neighborhood of where our church meets.  Each small group is responsible to purchase two different types of school supplies and enough for 500 children to get two of each item.  So our group is responsible for two-pocket pocket folders and spiral notebooks (1,000 of each so 500 children can have two pocket folders and two spiral notebooks).  We've got the pocket folders purchased and some of the spiral notebooks.  In Rob's (small group leader) email he told us to pray the spiral notebooks go on sale - which made me chuckle.  I replied that I had chuckled at his statement and that he's right - nothing is too small to pray about when it's going to a project like this :)

And lastly - we had the first LWF inner church small group softball games last Sunday.  I didn't go because of my shoulder and needing a day to get ready to go back to work.  I've been reading on Facebook about some calamities that happened and I'm not sure this is safe for any of us :)

Tomorrow at 7:30 a.m. I have physical therapy so probably should hit the hay pretty soon.............
