So I've been having a really hard time getting motivated at work. A lot of it is because my boss is a complete jerk. I don't like him, don't trust him and feel completely undervalued. My only peer also feels this way about him, and our daily conversations and rants about him squash any possibility of motivation I had a chance of having ( Read more... )

Okay, so I haven't updated in FOREVER and I have no idea what I have to say, but I thought I should write something.
Work is okay, getting back into the swing of things after vacation.
Vacation was great....lots of time with thndrstd and rosepurr and seeing the sights. The kids pushed our buttons a few times, but overall a great trip.
Summer is going by way to fast ( Read more... )

HAPPY ST. PATRICKS DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Remember.....when Irish eyes are smiling....they're usually up to something!!! ;-)

One thing I notice in the movies, tv and books....they will almost never let the star die. The good guy, the main character, everyone's favorite, will always prevail and make it through whatever tragedy life hands them ( Read more... )

On December 28th, I bought and began reading Twilight.

On Monday, February 23rd, I finished Breaking Dawn, the 4th & final book in the series.

I'm hoping she'll ( Read more... )

I arrived safely in Chicago this evening. Those of us who made the cut are in town to plan for what stands to be a very challenging year.
I am anticipating a couple of grueling days of work and stress and frustration.
On a positive note....I still have the job that brings me here.

I need a quick & easy dessert to make for some guests. Any suggestions?

I can't remember the last time I read a book that was 498 pages long.
I'm not certain I ever did, to be honest, and if I did, it was probably forced upon me in school.
This week, I accomplished what I thought was impossible. Not only did I read a 498 page book, but I read it in just 6 days!!! While most of you probably laugh at that  concept, thndrstd can ( Read more... )
