It's been a while since I posted, so I thought it was probably time. Life has been busy, as per usual. This weekend marks the last weekend that I will have to deal with Girl Scout cookie sales, which have been going on for the last 6 weeks. SO CLOSE to being done. Ugh. Every year I take this on, and every year by the end of it I feel like I'd ( Read more... )

So this morning, there is day-old snow still frozen to the ground, the 'actual' air temperature is 12F (-11C), with a wind-chill 'feels like' temperature of 0-1F (-17C), and the nephew wanted to argue with me about wearing his coat, hat, and gloves because: 'I look stupid.' I argued that what would be stupid would be NOT wearing a coat, hat, and ( Read more... )

The bad news is that the head/throat cold thingie I've been battling is viral, and according to the doctor 'could linger for months.' *sigh* I took off from work yesterday to see the doctor (also, didn't want to go into the office if I was contagious), and came home with some steroids and a prescription strength cough suppressant. They seem to be ( Read more... )

Hey all. You know what today is? Today is the start of girl scout cookie season. Also known as: 'Sky's seven weeks of frustration.' I'm much more organized this year than I was last year at this point in time. I've got all of my girl's information logged into the online system. All of my spreadsheets are set and ready to go. I've learned from the ( Read more... )

So earlier, I was whining about being stuck at work. I wanted to go home early.

That didn't happen.

I also didn't get to play Rock Band 3 (or any video game for that matter), or watch the hockey-mentary (soon, my pretty, soon). What I DID do, was be productive.

I left work at the regular time (that being 5 pm), went and bought dog food, got home, ( Read more... )

Got some new folks around these parts. *waves* Please keep your limbs inside the vehicle at all times, as they are very hard to replace. We hope you enjoy your ride!

It's day 3 of the new year, and I've been at work for about an hour, and already I'm done with this and wanna go home. It's cold, and five day work weeks are made of fail and whoever ( Read more... )

Hey all!! How are all you folks out there in cyberland? Good, I hope.

As for me, last week I took two days off from work (Wed. and Thurs.) and had Friday off for the holiday (in addition to Sat. and Sun.). Then, yesterday we got hit with a mini-blizzard, which resulted in my planned annual trip to NYC being canceled (no sad face though, because I ( Read more... )

Let's see. Monday, I took my Mom out to dinner on what would have been my parents anniversary. It would have been 41 years for them. Miss you, Pop.

The next night, I skipped the JWC meeting on account of a headache and needing to rest. I also did not open my computer or write that night at all. I did, however, watch obscene amounts of "Psyche" on ( Read more... )

*does happy dance!* I've been waiting for this day. All. Week! And now it's here!!! *bounces*

Okay, yeah, got that out of my system.

Friday's are awesome for a couple of reasons:

1. It's the end of the work week.
2. It's the start of the weekend.
3. SUPERNATURAL!
4. Did I mention that it's the end of the work week and subsequently the start of the weekend?

So yeah. ( Read more... )

• Last weekend I spent in Luray, VA with a whole bunch of folks from the DC area that I haven't seen since before the summer started (one of which was turning 30, and was the reason for the whole get together in the first place :-D). There were S'mores, and a Hot Tub, and Rock Band, and Taboo, and cake at midnight, and a whole lot of limes, and I got ( Read more... )
