One of the nice things about my carpool commute is that I frequently get to see wildlife. This morning it was geese flying over head, yesterday on the way back from a meeting I saw a peregrine falcon hovering at eye level next to the freeway. Last week as we drove west a 12 point buck was ambling across the Sunny Slope Road overpass as we drove ( Read more... )

What a busy day!
I got into the office, turned on my computer and was greeted by a pop-up that said I had a meeting in 7 minutes. WTF? When I left on Thursday I was supposed to have a meeting at 10a and 12:30p. This was going to leave me just enough time to do request my 31 reports from WiSACWIS before the first meeting. And then maybe enough time ( Read more... )

Today, a productive day at work, but not always doing what I needed to do. No, that's wrong. I did what I needed to so, but probably not what I should have done. But sometimes you have to help the people in front of you.

I just deleted a very egotistical rant about how great I am at my job and how "not so much" are my co-worker and Little P. But ( Read more... )

Today I am so very, very happy that Gonzo is feeling the urge to write again. I am very fortunate to have several friends who write, and write very well. I think Gonzo and MelodyWilde are both talented enough to be professionally published authors.

I am so happy that it is officially spring. I am so over winter! And yet tonight it's getting down into the lower ( Read more... )

Went to Back Doc again today, and now I'm really sore. Whatever he does to my lower back & hip hurts like hell the day he does it and then feels so much better the next day. So tonight my best friend is my ice pack. I've been burning the midnight oil every night this week playing Royal Envoy. Mostly because we've been busy so I don't get any me ( Read more... )

Red & Her New RAV

Today I am grateful for ???

The deed is done, the papers have been signed, and I am having a bit of holy crap the car cost How much? post-signature tremors. The car is beautiful. I love the gray, the light part was much darker than I recalled, and the dash wasn't nearly as two-toned as I recalled. So yay! And the storage area is actually so dark a ( Read more... )

Today I hypered myself just a bit too much. I am getting very excited about the car and frankly, now I just want to be DONE with the whole situation. I can pick up the car tomorrow afternoon. I've made arrangements to take the afternoon off, return the rental, get picked up at the airport, and dropped off at my car dealer. There I will complete ( Read more... )

Today I have some philosophical thoughts to share. GoldieBug mentioned that she hasn't been blogging much, that she's been waffling about what kinds of things she does and doesn't want to share, how it takes as much or more effort to edit herself from sharing too much, as it does to just write her thoughts to begin with. And I thought this was a valid ( Read more... )

Another big storm today, maybe 5 inches, and it blew viciously.
Heard from Car salesman Kyle. They were not able to find me a Green/black RAV. I might have to wait MONTHS if I want to hold out for one. I simply can't do that. So it will be Green/2-tone gray. I am working on being okay with that. I hate, hate, HATE that I can't get what I really want ( Read more... )
