She's taking on water!

It's been a while since I've had to think about mathematical equations and such, but I very recently discovered a formula to brighten your day:  hole-y roof + torrential downpour = working on day off.  You like?  Me, not so much.  But squeegee-ing is kind of fun, especially in Shoes.  Fabrics and crafts.  The photo lab. The backroom.  Ugh. The backroom.  What a mess.  We pulled at least six shopping carts of sopping wet shoes from the salesfloor.  There were probably four carts from infants.  Thousands of dollars were lost in damaged large-screen TVs.  All but maybe one of our photo-processing machines, including two brand new ones, are swimming and they're not water-anything.  Awesome.  The hopefully-legal immigrants who've been repairing/replacing the roof the past several days and since o'dark thirty this morning?  Apparently, they didn't anticipate this afternoon's thunderstorm.  Poor guys.  They worked so hard and I'm pretty sure they're still there cleaning up.  We haven't had rain all summer.  Go figure.

Look at the baby!

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...
