Day 3 of my team being down to 3, with me taking on my job and the job of 3 others...and if anything, it's actually easier and more enjoyable. The mood of my group is very positive, very light and happy, and very supportive of one another. I'm finding skills buried in the others that I'd never have seen otherwise. I'm learning things and ( Read more... )

Totally wasn't allergies, although I'm sure they didn't help - totally WAS a cold, or conference crud, or whatever. Friday I felt horrible, yesterday morning I felt a tiny bit better but then used that feeling better to clean the house, and then spent the rest of the day feeling WAY worse ( Read more... )

Tyler turned 20 years old yesterday - I'm literally old enough to not have any infants, toddlers, tweens, or teenagers anymore. The good I take from that is that I don't FEEL old ( Read more... )

Last night, as it was raining before switching to snow, I let Pixie out, and then found her WAY past the line for her electric fence (guess I need to replace the batteries). I didn't think much about it until this morning when lots of other things made me go "oh my god, she can't really see" - usually they catch their treat - she had no idea it was ( Read more... )

I'm "in the holiday mood", but honestly don't have ideas or inspirations for gifts. I can't get the kids to give me any ideas, I don't want anything really, and I have no ideas for Glenn at ALL. Thanksgiving will be nice - different because for the first time in lik e8 years my brother's family is not coming, they are celebrating with Elisa's side ( Read more... )

Ty sent me a message last night on Facebook that he can't find teddy's collar - and I just read on his journal how he felt like he was having a panic attack at 2am.  =(  Ty has always had a teddy bear, we actually had 2 when he was little just in case, and it was good we did because he lost one (actually, I think a neighbor kid took it but I'll ( Read more... )

I don't know why, but yesterday I watched a bunch of BAD tv. Who the HELL ever thought "Oh this will make a good show" is deranged, and I think I'm worse for WATCHING it.  Let's see - last night included "Toddlers in Tiaras", something like "I live right near the arctic circle and it's hard and cold and kinda sucks so watch me skin animals", a the ( Read more... )

Your reaction to the Rains of Castamere episode of Game of Thrones is amusing and ridiculous all at the same time ( Read more... )

Then I move on to round 2. Running the gamut here with candidates, although there has been one where that very day I arranged round 2, and asked for references. One this morning, 2 tomorrow, one Friday - I can't wait to get this settled ( Read more... )

Kelsey came home last night - and is in love with CA. And her boyfriend is from CA and is in love with MA. LOL. She goes back to school today, for training for her job that she's been doing for weeks now - but first she's off to the Aquarium at 1pm for an interview to be an intern for 6 months ( Read more... )
