The cleaning crew that cleans my office is definitely passive aggressive. I will often find my trash can clear across the room instead of under my desk where I keep it. Or, worse, no trashbag in it and none to be found elsewhere. My chairs are often strewn across the room instead of being placed back where they were when I left. I’ve had all kinds of things, ranging from change for the vending machines to breath mints and candy to pens and paper disappear from my desk overnight. I lock my door when I leave so I can only believe that it’s either gremlins or the cleaning crew trying to mess with my mind.

The Gin Blossoms were awesome. They sounded great and put on a good show. I live in Northern Arizona and we rarely get big-named bands coming up here. This was a real treat for us. They don’t have a new album in the works but it didn’t matter. I got to sing Allison Road at the top of my lungs right along with the rest of the crowd.

I want to thank those of you who have been reading my blogs. Some of the things you say make me smile bigtime.

I took my niece to the circus this weekend, also. There were a lot of people protesting the circus for cruelty to animals. Being an animal lover, I’m usually careful about the things I attend. However, I saw nothing but love and care for the animals at this circus.

My niece rode on the camel and absolutely loved it. She wanted to keep going again and again. I love her 3-year-old bravery.
