Lean, Mean, Mystery Shopping Machine

Yep, that title describes ME!!!! I am officailly a mystery shopper!!! What is a mystery shopper you ask? Well, companies and businesses hire outside indivduals to perform surprise evaluations of their facilities to be sure they are operating to the proper standards. Last year my mom told me about a company on-line that was "hiring" people in my area. I signed up but never accepted any jobs. Well, last week they called me & needed two Hardee's evaluated ASAP. So, I agreed. I completed both of my assignments yesterday. Unfortuately, both had unsuccessful results ~ one being MUCH worse than the other (but honestly I was not surprised. Anyway, I will get paid $28 plus re-imbursed for my food. Not bad for less than 2 hours work!!!

On to other news....since the finale of American Idol a week and a 1/2 ago I have searched for evey available video, message board & web-site pertaining to Mr. David Cook. Plus, atempting to watch every TV interview that he has done. And I proud to say that I think I have found nearly every single one of them!!! I just cannot get enough of this man!!!

Well, Ty left this week for South Carolina for Basic Training. Without so much as a phone call or a quick visit to say good bye. Hopefully, the military will teach him a thing or two about respect for his parents and those that are supporting him financially. And if not, well then maybe he will get the point when he returns at the end of summer and is at our house weekly wanting $$ and we tell him "no".

Well, I think we have successfully captured all of the mice ~ 1 by drowning, 1 in a traditional trap, 4 by way of sticky trap and 1 by our head mouser ~ Q-Tip!!! Yep, you heard right ~ in her old age Q-Tip has officially become a mouser!!! Not only did she catch and kill it BUT she ATE it too!!!! Ewwww, gross is all that I have to say about that!!! I spoke to her vet about it and she said that a mouse is the best nutrition for a cat!!! OK ~ maybe so but ewww, gross!!!
