DHL

Okay, so I know that I worked for UPS for 7 years and I am a little biased but I hate DHL. I have been trying to have something delivered for my computer for 3 days now and I still don't have it. They came Monday at 12:17 and indicated they would come again the following day at around the same time. I took the time off to be there (which I couldn't really justify taking the time due to the work I need to do) and they came at 8:30 in the morning. I couldn't get them to come back that day though they made me wait around for 3 hours waiting to see if they would. So then I call them and they agree to deliver to my condo office after 2:00 today. I get home from work at 4:30 and see another note on my door at 12:20pm. So I called them and they told me they tried to deliver to the condo office but it was refused. Liars! Grrrr, I'm so annoyed. I want UPS. I know when they deliver, I know how to get hold of them and I just want my packages.

Sorry, just had to vent and figured this was as good a place as any. I know others have probably had problems with UPS and could probably go off about them but .... it's my blog and you get to listen to my opinions.

Hope to see the packages tomorrow. We will see what will happen.

Wicked

So, my friend gave me the soundtrack to the musical Wicked. I think I am truly obsessed. I really need to see it and I have heard that it may be coming to SLC. I really hope so. I am looking for others who suffer from this. So if you are a Wicked fan and know when or if the musical is coming here, please respond.

I love music so much. Music makes me happy when nothing else does. If I am feeling down, I can hum a tune and pretty soon I am not down anymore. There is a song by Trisha Yearwood called 'The song remembers when" and I really relate to the words. It talks about when a song comes on the radio you remember where you were when you first heard the song or if the song brings back a specific memory. I can think of so many songs that bring back memories for me. Sawyer Brown's ' The race is on' reminds me of the state fair. Monique Hyde and I attended the concerts there for two or three years in a row all because of that song. The Christmas song 'Silver Bells' reminds me of doing dishes with my Mom and Sisters when I was younger. 'No one is to blame' by Howard Jones will always remind me of drive by's to Mat Henings house when I was in High School because my friend thought he was cute. I laugh about that now because we could be accused of stalking today. There are so many songs that do that for me.

I just felt like writing about music today. There are several church songs that I have special memories from too. I am just thankful for music today.

So this is what 5'oclock looks like on Sunday Morning

Okay, so I don't mean to do the same things but.....my darling Mimi woke up at 4:00 this morning crying. This is a little unusual for her. She wakes up and makes noise so I will let her out to go to the bathroom but she normally doesn't wake up crying. I let her out and she immediately ran into my room. After making her go to the bathroom I let her get onto my bed. BIG MISTAKE for me. About 10 minutes later she has snuggled into my back and then she throws up. All over my sheets, my warm electric blanket and my bedspread. Also, my pajamas didnt' avoid the mess. Who says I don't have children, I beg to differ. My dog is like a child. Luckily, I am prepared. I put everything into the washer. Researched if I could wash my electric blanket or not, then changed my sheets, blankets and got back into bed.

Susie woke me up at 9:00 with news of 5 foot snow drifts. Its pretty bad out our way too. Crazy weather. I hope it clears up for the drive in tomorrow. This may mean I am missing out on Susies crab cakes and nachos. Ah well, woe is me.
