Today is my second anniversary of my blog and my birthday. Thanks, Alice, for setting this up for me. It has been a wonderful two years and I’m glad to share it with you!

Today has been wonderful. A program that I developed at work has become a wonderful project to be a part of. Today my boss said (on camera, mind you) that it is one of his favorite programs and that the event this weekend is the most exciting thing we’ve ever done.

I ‘m sorry to be so cryptic but I’m not ready to reveal my secret identity to the masses that read this blog. Maybe because I watch too much crime drama and read too many murder mysteries. But when I can go on-line and find someone’s address and phone number without much effort for free, I err on the side of caution. I’m also glad there are many Jo Merchants out there.

On a lighter note:

Upon going out the door this morning, I found a freshly delivered UPS box and stuck it inside the apt for when I got home. I knew what it was – snacks for the boys.

When I got home tonight they had torn it open as evidenced by the picture. See the claw marks on it! Or as my mother called them – talons. They had eaten half a bag!! I wonder how long it took them. First to smell the snacks through the packaging, corrugated cardboard and packing tape; then to actually get it open. I think it was mostly Simon. If there were teeth marks on there then it might have been Charlie. Simon is more apt to use his paws to open things and Charlie his mouth.

I sure think there are some tummy aches in my house tonight.
