Work is closed tomorrow, so I do get a day off out of this weather thing after all. I guess I could be watching tonight's episode of Big Love, which is currently recording on HBO-West. When it originally came on at 9 I watching Family Guy and DVRing Desperate Housewives. But Frank's downstairs working on a class project, so I'll give him some ( Read more... )

I had a nice weekend. It still felt like a long weekend, even though I worked on Saturday. The Summer Camps registration day was pretty much as crazy as I expected. When I arrived at 8AM, there were already people waiting in line. It was supposed to start at 9, but we were set up and ready to go by 8:30, so we opened early to get a head start. ( Read more... )

I am taking a break from taking the tree down. All the ornaments are off and boxed up and the tree skirt is in the wash. I still need to actually dismantle the tree, and decide whether to keep it. I got it in 2000, but it's starting to look sort of worn out. It sheds a lot, and a whole section of lights (it's pre-lit) has gone out. And I'm not ( Read more... )

Okay, so the Mission 101 stuff has been moving along rather slowly, and I didn't even update in September. But I still have a few items I can check off the list:

3. Get rid of or find use for pictures from first wedding. Screw it, I am counting this as Done even though I still have one envelope of photos that I'm holding for Mike (my ex-husband ( Read more... )

It was this time of year seven years ago that I moved to Charlotte. I was reminded of this because the Southern Women's Show was this past weekend, and that was one of the very first things I did when I got here. Mike & I were staying in a furnished condo owned by his employer until our furniture & everything arrived (a few days late, but that's ( Read more... )

Best in Show has somehow entered the basic cable frequent rotation and suddenly become "one of those movies that's always on." Not that I'm complaining. It's just funny how I'll always stop and watch it even though I own the DVD and I could watch it anytime I want, without commercials!

I started scrapbooking the first cruise! This is ( Read more... )

Damn, it feels like it should be later in the week than Tuesday. This week is going by too slowly. Tomorrow is the Lost season 3 premier, so at least I have something to look forward to ( Read more... )

Awhile back I took a boxload of stuff to the consignment shop that sells household & decorative items. When they gave me my itemized receipt, it looked like they priced everything pretty low, and even if it all sold, I wouldn't get much. Which is fine, if it was anything valuable I would have put it on eBay. When I get rid of stuff I have 4 ( Read more... )

There are less than 9 hours left of this year. I am heading out to a party at Candy & Bill's later, but now I am here, with the Twilight Zone marathon on TV. It's been a New Year's tradition ever since I was a kid and we watched them on Channel 11 out of New York City ( Read more... )

My dog Zack died on Monday. He had a blood clot that was blocking circulation to his organs. He had been sick for awhile, and had his ups and downs, but this happened kind of suddenly. It seemed like he had started to be on the upswing again late last week, starting to eat more and feel better. Mike was in town for a few days, the first time he's ( Read more... )
