General

I learned a new southern phrase this week. Maybe it’s not southern but this yankee hadn’t heard it. Ready for the phrase?

“I don’t have a dog in this fight.” I think that is a cool phrase. I’m glad I was able to pick up on it this week. I know I’ve been down here for 11 years but I still find myself picking up on new things.

Ok I’ve said my thing…now go have a good day!

I know that it has been forever! and that even Justin has beat me with the blog posting lately. Things with me have been so busy lately. I have much to say about more insurance issues…(don’t trust that even the NC Dept of Insurance will help you). I also had a Bridal Shower in Polk County last Sunday (I had a great time! and thank you Lorraine for putting it together for me!) We have sent the invitations out (yesterday) and tomorrow starts my 8-8 shifts until September 1st. I’m not feeling all that hot today. I couldn’t sleep and woke up very hot and miserable. I hope this is just a passing cold. I better get back to work but I hope to really update later.

This weekend Tabitha, Heather, Justin, and I went to Black Forest up in Cedar Mountain to go camping. I had never been camping before and really wanted to. Heather had never seen a waterfall (in real life). Heather and Tabitha went up on Friday night (I had to work graduation so we couldn’t join them until Saturday at lunch). It poured on the poor girls and water leaked into the tent. Luckily most of it was dry before we went to bed on Saturday. We hiked some and saw plenty of waterfalls. It was great! We even got to do a little swimming. At night we entertained ourselves by playing Swap and Phase 10.

Sunday morning we packed things up and checked out before 12. Then we stopped by Connestee Falls and my house on the way down the mountain. We stopped by Looking Glass Falls too and then on to the Fish Hatchery. It decided to pour down the rain on us but we had fun running to the car. Then we stopped at the Hendersonville “mall” and it poured even harder on us there. Eventually we wandered back to Shelby and ate at Yamatos, then went back to Heather and Tabitha’s to play Phase 10 again. What a weekend!

Well now you are pretty much caught up on Bonnie-ville.

Ok…so don’t I feel dumb…I didn’t even notice that Justin had made an entry on my blog. Thank you honey…I mean Mr. Administrator/Webmaster Sir 😉

Last night Brandon and Meagan came over to watch “Goonies” with us. Of course we pulled up just a tad on the late side. That shock anyone? haha I had been looking forward to watching that for some time now. It’s nice to have a break from it all sometimes and to catch up with friends. Lately I’ve been feeling pulled in so many directions. It’s not been as bad as I’m sure it will be but with work being so busy and working on wedding stuff and other things, I feel like it’s bedtime every night before I’ve had a chance to sit down and relax. Thanks guys for coming over and hanging out with us. We definitely need to do things more often!

So I hacked on in to Bonnie’s blog tonight and repaired her comments which I broke a while back. That should all be taken care of now. Sorry for causing problems with anyone trying to comment.

The other change you may or may not notice is that all requests for wantmoore.com/bonnie are now being redirected to bonniemoore.me. If you have the site bookmared, you may or may not want to update it. It doesn’t really matter, but it could shave a second or two off your browsing time. The reason behind this strategic move is so that Bonnie can keep better tabs on who visits the site and how many times. The stats package can track subdomains much easier than stats within a subdirectory.

Enough of the geek speak, I now return you to your irregularly scheduled blogging – maybe about the Wedding Shower this weekend?

Hey everyone! It has been a long, stressful week at work. Last Thursday we received in about 630 boxes of books. Throughout the week we received about 200 more. I am VERY happy to say that we are now down to about 50 boxes. Not bad for just 2 people at a time working on it huh? One to price and one to check in. The higher ups decided this summer that we didn’t need any help so we’ve had to man the front with campers and do the books at the same time. Looks like now they are saying we can “apply for some help”. I was so frustrated that I just laughed. Now that all the main work is done we can “try” to get some help. Oh well…that is just a little update on why I haven’t posted recently.

Now, onto a MUCH more important thing…I please ask all of you that are praying individuals and those who aren’t (I encourage you to start). I found out some news from my family late last night and I can’t really say anything right now but the good news I asked you to pray about earlier might become bad news. While I know you all would like to know what it is, I pray that you will trust me for now and please pray as hard as you can for my sister Erin and Mike (my brother in law). Thank you all so much!

Things are about as good as can be expected considering we have gotten 5 delivery trucks (4 being 18wheelers) and over 600 boxes of books this morning within a 2 hour window. Bing! Bang! Boom! they came and went one right after the other. Now we are stuck with the aftermath. Luckily for me and my sanity Physical Plant was able to bring a fork lift over and send some reinforcements to help unload the trucks. Unfortunately for me, they left after unloading and now it’s me against 600 plus boxes. Thanks to my very helpful crew, Nikki is pricing, Mike is helping check in, Jillian too, and Wayne too. I believe we have gotten around 45 boxes checked in this afternoon. Oh so much to do! I guess I’ll be living here for awhile. I’ll keep you posted.

I have a prayer request, and I can’t really say what right now, but it is definitely something good. Please pray for my family in the next few months. Hopefully soon I’ll be able to share with you. Thanks a bunch!
