Under pressure...



So, we've started hiring again at work, and here's the thing: I don't like having the power to bestow the gift of employment on a few select applicants. Who thought it was a good idea to give me the authority to do such a thing? I don't like it. Too many people are looking for work and apparently, Walmart is the place to be employed.

Also, I'm pretty sure my niece is the most adorable child on this planet. Last night, she wanted to watch a movie - she chose "The Swan Princess", and I told her we could put it in to see if she liked it. With a 2-1/2 year old, you never can tell. I put the DVD in first, and then turned on the TV as the production company's logo appeared. And then the music kicked in...and my niece exclaims, "Oh, I like it!" Oh boy goodness. How sweet is she?

Surprise event of the weekend: My newest niece was born Saturday morning at 5:41, and guess when she was due - November 5th. Just in case you're confused or a little out of touch, Saturday was not November 5th. It was, in fact, October 17th, meaning she was in such a hurry to reach the world that she came three weeks early! Crazy kid. Needless to say, she's tiny. 4 pounds, 11 ounces kind of tiny. But, she is absolutely beautiful and has one heck of a big sister: "Psy'renee Alayna Dennis" - I'm pretty sure her name is bigger than she is. Paris holding her baby sister's hand. Tender. Paris told Psy (pronounced 'sigh', as in psychology, psychotic, psychiatrist, etc): "It's going to be alright." I almost cried, it was that adorable. Paris holding her sister for the first time... ...and Paris being distracted by a Barbie commercial on the TV above her. Paris found an awesome hiding place for her solo game of hide-and-seek. Lo...

Third Adventure. Part Four.

The adventure continued on Friday, 4 June 2010, with the Annual Shareholder's Meeting and the reason why I went to Arkansas.  I don't recall much of the official business that took place, but I do remember the famous people.  Jamie Foxx was our host and the star of the day.  He is a very twitchy performer; it was hard to get a clear picture.  He sang, he joked, he took Darell's jacket, he imitated Ray Charles... He was absolutely hilarious.  And I loved him on Sesame Street.    Famous person number two, and I still can't get over this: Enrique Iglesias. When in my life would I ever actually see him in a live performance?  That's right.  Never.  This may come as a shocker, so prepare yourself, but he's not actually the greatest singer.  He's really very pitchy, but his earpiece-thing came out, so I'll try not to judge too harshly.  Also, he's very pretty, and, he jumped off the stage and came out into the crowd about te...
