Hey there, everyone.  I am still around, just didn't really want to take all the time todo xanga anymore, guess you can tell LOL!!!!!  I am fine, still subbing at school, love the summer vacation!!!!!!! My daughter came from Mich for 5 weeks and now she is gone.  We went to Dallas and spent 2 weeks and had so much fun with my son and DIL.  God was SO good, my son only had to work 2 days out of the 2 wks so it was great,  We had a lot of quality time and lots of good laughs, love to laugh!!!!!!!
    I am on Facebook so anyone that is one there, please look me up, it is under jackie markham gillen.  There are several from xanga on Facebook now.  I love all of ya'll and hope to hear from you on Facebook. I do check on here every now and then.  Everyone have a great rest of Summer and then into Fall....then Christmas OMG!!!!!

Well, I am still around, just haven't been on here in a long time DUH, can't u tell LOL.  Nothing is new, just subbing and trying to get ready for Christmas, seem like I just got ready.  I have most of my shopping done.  My fur babies are just dandy.  Baili, the new one I got is so beautiful but such a little bad girl.  I came home about 3 wks ago and she has chewed a lamp cord into and threw a breaker.  My hubbie said, "she is going to kill herself".  She hasn't done that again.  I am afraid to put up the CHristmas tree afraid she will chew it and chew the ornaments on it.  She will be a year old Dec 31, so am hoping she quit chewing everything.  She pulled up a mum in the backyard by the roots and it was not little.  She is beautiful and her hair is real thick and she is very free spirited to say the least, doesn't have a care in the world.

     I had thanksgiving at my house and we sure had some good food.  My brother, his wife and daughter and husband came.  we will go to my brother's for Christmas.  I will go to my son's after Christmas.  I have most of my shopping done.  I am dreading putting up the tree,  I can already see It being chewed on by Baili and her chewing the cloth ornaments OMG, may forget it this year, not sure.  I am about to have to go wash my hair.
FUNNY OF THE WEEK:  this is suggestion for all who want a seasonal job

A manager at Wal-Mart had the task of hiring someone to fill a job opening. After sorting through a stack of resumes he found four people who were equally qualified. He decided to call the four in and ask them only one question. Their answer would determine which of them would get the job.

The day came and as the fo ur sat around the conference room table, the interviewer asked, 'What is the fastest thing you know of?'
Acknowledging the first man on his right, the man replied, 'A THOUGHT.' It just pops into your head. There's no warning.

'That's very good!' replied the interviewer.
'And, now you sir?', he asked the second man.


'Hmmm...let me see 'A blink! It comes and goes and you don't know that it ever happened. A BLINK is the fastest thing I know of.'
'Excellent!' said the interviewer. 'The blink of an eye, that's a very popular
cliché for speed.' He then turned to the third man, who was contemplating his
reply.
'Well, out at my dad's ranch, you step out of the house and on the wall there's
a light switch. When you flip that switch, way out across the pasture the light
on the barn comes on in less than an instant. 'Yep, TURNING ON A LIGHT is the fastest thing I can think of.'
The interviewer was very impr essed with the third answer and thought he had
found his man. 'It's hard to beat the speed of light,' he said.

Turning to BUBBA, the fourth; and final man, the interviewer posed the same question. Old Bubba replied, 'After hearing the previous three Answers, it's obvious to me that the fastest thing known is DIARRHEA.'
'WHAT!?' said the interviewer, stunned by the response.
'Oh sure', said BUBBA. 'You see, the other day I w asn't feeling so good, and
I ran for the bathroom, but before I could THINK, BLINK, or TURN ON THE LIGHT, I had already shit my pants.'
BUBBA is now the new greeter at a Wal-Mart near you!

You probably will think of this every time you enter a Wal-Mart from now on!
