Everything, all at once

I have been really lazy, computer-wise, for the past few weeks, but life has been extra busy.  Finally got around to the journals and answering emails, and am feeling a bit perky now!

Work has been ... exciting, I guess is the word.  There was a stabbing on one of the units at the institution last week, and we had to stop a transfer so Lieu could get the goods on a gang member (leader?) he had been trying to catch for the last few months.  They knew he was ordering hits on other inmates, but could never prove it - until then.  That's the thing about work...so much happens so fast, there's little time for boredom or dwelling on anything besides work. 

On Friday, we did take a girls morning (Fridays are the slowest day) and have a coffee klatche (or however you spell it).  It was nice - a lot of bonding going on and all that.  And when the men figured out what we were up to, they wanted in on it, too.

Well - that's a portion of life as I know it in a little more than a nutshell.  And now..a meme..

If you came to my house… 

You would see:  A LOT of trees, a couple of dogs, some cats, a horse pasture, my grandson and the rest of my family.  and me.  You would see a lot of books...you could take a few home, if you liked, and a variety of tea pots, a few potted plants.

 

I’d probably feed you:  Whatever you were in the mood for.  Chilie?  Salad? Pork chops? Quiche? Probably the famous Chicken Casserole and a veggie platter, home baked bread and a nutty buddy pie for dessert.

And offer you this to drink: Water, tea (hot or iced), coffee or coke.

I’d undoubtedly ask if you’d read:  Alessandro Baricco, Tanizaki.

I’d want to play this music for you: Not sure...something easy on the ears or something to match the mood.

I’d want to tell you about: The history of the area

I’d probably suggest a game of:  Scrabble, or some kind of card game like gin or canasta

I would definitely show off:  My new patio!

I might get on the computer and show you: Funny emails, the poetry boards. The laughing cat.

If it was a long enough visit, we might watch:  Whatever you'd like to watch.  I have chick flicks, comedies,westerns and dramas and musicals.

Well, that's it.  I won't mention the mess you might see, wouldn't want to scare you away.
