Goings On.

So we had a quiet new year, sitting around the house. In fact, I think we were both out cold by 10 that night. We're such party animals! Of course Double D had a nice break from work. He was off Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and the day after. And then he was off New Years Day and the day after. Must be nice to work for the county.



Speaking of the county, the annual Pig-Nic was this past Saturday. The county bought whole pigs for the employees to cook. There was a bbq cookoff and a bake off. The fianance director won the bake off (last year it was the HR manager-see a pattern???). The people from EMS won 3rd in the cookoff, the boys from Roads and Bridges came in 2nd, and drum roll please.........Dan Davis, who is an ELECTED official (county supervisor), won first. Of course the people on his "team" are regular employees, but still. Dan freakin' Davis??? That man doesn't know how to run Berkeley County let alone win a bbq cookoff. Can you hear the outrage? I can't wait for November 2010. Hopefully his sorry ass will be voted out of office. Duane asks me to be nice whenever Davis is around because he does work there, so I do the next best thing. I keep my mouth shut and smile. That's about as nice as I can be.



On to something else. We leave tomorrow to go camping. Woo hoo!!!! I leave work at noon and don't have to go back until Monday. Of course Duane is off Monday since it's a holiday. I am so obviously working for the wrong people! Mom and Dad are going with us, as are Wes, Jo, and the boys. Wes' sister is coming out on Friday. And the kids get to go with us. Of course we've had a mild winter so far, and just because we're going camping it's about to get cootie-freezing-off cold. 18 degrees Saturday morning when we wake up. I know that's not as bad as sis up in New York, but still.......this is South Carolina. Home of 110 degree summers. Oh well. Wal Mart will make a few dollars off of me when I go get me some long johns. Anything to keep my butt warm.

Off to pack!
