A co-worker asked me today if I had a new boyfriend. It seems someone asked her, because "someone" supposedly saw me leaving the building on my break, to meet up with some "reefer dude" named Kyle, who was apparently young enough to make me a cougar. It became my big laugh of the day. Rumors are gonna happen, and I'd just as soon know about the ( Read more... )

Yesterday the temp got up in the sixties! And most of the snow has now melted! And it isn't even getting below freezing overnight! And I can't remember being this excited to see the ground! Can you tell I'm over winter? Hee! We're due to get some rain tomorrow night, which should wash the crud off of everything, and maybe start a little ( Read more... )

Not only do I have a four day weekend after tomorrow's shift, the weather will be improving dramatically in this neck of the woods. From three days of high temps around five above to predicted high temps in the thirties! Yay!! *throws confetti* We're on the downhill slide now! And I reeeeaallly need a good break from work ( Read more... )

I did watch tonight's episode of Supernatural, once I got home from work at midnight, but I really need rest before I comment on it. I really did need that, though, after a fairly crappy shift.

Oh, and no snow yet, as of 1:30 am...just rain. The snow will be here by dawn, though, I'm sure.

It should be interesting to see what the weather's like by the time I get off work at quarter to twelve tonight. This evening it's supposed to start with a little rain/freezing rain, then around midnight turn to snow, and snow all night and most of tomorrow. Add in 25-30 mph winds, gusting higher at times, and hey presto, it's a blizzard! And ( Read more... )

I've been up since two this morning. No, I was not standing in line for Black Friday deals--I had to be to work at 3:45. For a night owl like me, this poses something of a challenge. But, not only did I get up and get to work early, I'm now not feeling a need for a nap. Considering the amount of Pepsi I've already consumed today, I suppose I ( Read more... )

So, I purchased my shiny new Nikon Coolpix S6000 today, and wow! So far I have taken test shots of my living room and Tig, and boy howdy, is the quality waaayyy beyond my old HP Photosmart M305. I can't complain--the old one performed decently enough, and it was a gift that I asked for at the time. But seriously, this one is going to make me ( Read more... )

I've been mainlining NCIS the last three weeks or so; in fact, Tuesday I was home sick and I think I got through six episodes. I've finished the first four seasons and I'm nearing critical mass here. Meaning, I've watched so much so fast I'm on the verge of getting sick of it. Plus, it follows me into my dreams. The other night I dreamt DiNozzo ( Read more... )

It's been...well, it's been a week. Horrible heat and humidity, thunderstorms and tornado warnings, time off requests denied and amended, and one bed traded. I think I mentioned I was doing that Monday. Had an issue with that, too, as the new sheets didn't want to fit properly on the old mattress, so I had to buy a mattress topper to take up ( Read more... )

Well, that's another six day stretch done. The first five went well, but man, tonight was killer. The heat and humidity in the store really started to do a number on me this evening. I've learned to pay attention when it starts draining me; I came very, very, very close to passing out at work once because of heat exhaustion, and I was starting ( Read more... )
