Ernesto was a bust, at least here in North Jersey. We only ended up getting less than 1/2 an inch of rain, which is fine because we had over 5 inches of rain last couple of weeks in August. It looks like the Labor Day weekend might turn out nicer than they first predicted, but its the weather - when are they ever right?

As for leaving early yesterday from work - I left 5 minutes early. It does bother me sometimes when they figure I am less important than everyone else. I am doing a full time job, and they told me I can't leave because no one can do the job that I do. I am supposed to train someone to do my job, but they are either busy or I am, so it hasen't happened yet.

Day 17 - gift 17....it was another pair of salt and pepper shakers. This pair was a boy and girl - precious moments, they were so very cute. They will get placed in my collection.

Well I wanted to update you on the storm and the birthday gift. Have a wonderful weekend!!!
