(no subject)
I haven't posted for a bit (as usual)...
So, I was down in B/N for about 4 hours, for my Grandma's birthday. She gets sicker and sicker looking every time I see her. It really is very scary how short her short term memory is now. She can't remember that she put her camera on the counter about 30 seconds after she does it, and its sitting right in front of her! Oy..
In another note, i was down in B/N last weekend for my dad's family reunion which was 2.5 days long and I took my sister shopping. I'm hoping the next time I'm down there I can spend some time with some of you, who I have been missing and have lost touch with a little :( Send me a comment to let me know when the best weekends are!
Tomorrow I've got a video conference call with our vendor, should be exciting, even though I hear the equipment is a little old. I'm excited, my first work video conference! I'm working with a vendor in the Netherlands, so I'm kinda hoping that I'll get the opportunity to go for a visit, wouldn't that be awesome? I keep getting vendor projects recently, I don't know if its because we're getting such an inflow, or if all of the vendors have a positive working relationship with me and keep requesting me or what. It's cool though, I'm getting to meet a lot of people outside of the company.
Andrew is switching jobs! Ok, ok, within the company, but its still cool. I hope he likes his new job in the internet area...(he's going from intranet to internet).
Saturday we went and looked at Sheltie puppies and Andrew is going to put a deposit down for one of the tomorrow to reserve our 'place' in line. We'll be 4th in a litter of 5, but if there isn't one that we really like left then we'll be first of the next littler, which is supposed to be due soon.
I've gotten back into wearing my contacts recently, I can't stand not being able to shield my eyes with my fantastic sunglasses ;) It took about a week and a half for my eyes to re-accept my contacts. I was thinking about laser surgery, but now I'm thinking I can probably go another year or two because contacts are way less expensive and right now I'm more focused on fixing the house up. Who has 2K-3K to spend on an elective surgery! That's new carpeting or new stairs/entryway and bathrooms. Carpeting is way expensive people!
I've decided that I'm going to host Christmas this year, so the new stairs have to be in before that because of my elderly relatives and small children....there's my incentive to get a move on! I really don't think the stairs will take too long, but I know the entry ways and taking all of that damn glued on laminate is going to take awhile....grrr damn laminate .. grr!
Ok, gotta finish laundry..ciao!
