birthday dinner

yummy!! To put the icing on the cake of the crazy suprise party that
Bo threw with lots of help from the rest of the family my mom made my
favorite dinner!!! For those of you ho army familiar that is salt pork
and crock pot mac n cheese with some beans on the side. I love salt
pork and can usually only guilt trip my mommy into making it on my
birthday!
I'm very lucky!! Thanks to all my friends and family that made this a
birthday i will never forget. I'm going to refrain fromm posting
pictures from the party because the embarassment factor was quite high!!

The Chicago connection

tried this little pizza place out at first and bullard in te center by
Savemart. It was delicious!!!!! The corn meal crust was really good
and for the quality and quanity of food the price was good also. The
owners were there and were very friendly and very nice. The place was
squeaky clean, I just had a leftover piece and it was still delicious.

Mike's Pizzeria

I just dropped in the Mike's pizzeria(on west and shields) and got some yummy minestrone soup. They are always so friendly and nice in there and I enjoy their food. Their minestrone soup and fresh bread is the perfect answer for this weather. I also enjoy the other location on shaw.

clerk(via email 9:14):
subject: safety hazard- mud in parking lot
good morning
it has been reported that there is a truck outside in the parking lot
that brought mud into the parking lot. can the person using this truck
please clean up the mud to prevent a safety hazard?
Please remember safety is our #1 priority.

Supervisor(via email 9:18am) :
subject : re: safety hazard mud in parking lot
we are taking care of it now.

---several employees and shovels called to parking lot to shovel the
mud( it is raining)

supervisor (via email 10:40)
re:re safety hazard- mud in parking lot

the area ha been cleaned with a shovel but it still remains a slipping
hazard. cones have been placed to delineate the area. we are working
on getting a hose that will be long enough to spray off the area.

**rain continues

employee(via email12:24)----
we need to use some caution in washing the area so that we don't
deliberately discharge large volumes of mud to a storm drain system.
this can result in negative consequence with the agency. probably best
to use a large street broom and continue to shovel until most of the
solids are taken up.

WTF

supervisor asks employee to make sign and laminate to place on stake
and place In cone to provide information regarding the cones off area.

FYI -still raining in fact pouring is the word. It is most 2 pm and
the hose hasn't arrived. I hope no one slips while trying to hose of
pavement on rain.

doesn't anyone have something better to do?!?!??
