So, apparently what was wrong with Mike's car was nothing more than a really, really dead battery. So that was cheap to fix. :D
We're in the middle of a snowstorm, and I've been completely lazy all day, sitting at my desk watching the snow blow around, reading my way through Sycophant Hex (a Harry Potter fanfiction archive) and drinking lots of ( Read more... ) -

This has been my best "day off" in ages, probably since we've moved here. I get so down and blah-sy most of the time when I don't have a temp assignment or interview to go to that today feels excellent. It was fairly productive even ( Read more... ) -

New Job Mojo!
Not sure if I mentioned it before or not, but I have an interview at 2:00 today in Minnetonka for a job as an admin assistant at an emarketing company. I spoke to someone last week to get a little more information on the job they want done, and it sounds like it will be very similar to what I did in my last job (which I enjoyed well enough, even ( Read more... ) -

Sel's challenge 2007
I was just talking to Mike about how I needed to start exercising again and get back to a stricter diet, and selyndria posted about her latest exercise challenge...

Always listen to your mother
We went out this afternoon for a late lunch and a movie. Should have listened to my Mom. She said the weather was going to be bad here today and we should stay in (which we planned to tonight anyhow). By the time we got out of the movie about 6 the snow and the roads were nasty. For now at least it's pretty much stopped, and I've seen the plows ( Read more... ) -
Anyone big tea drinkers?
My inlaws got me drinking tea in England (they put on a kettle at the drop of a hat), and I've been almost exclusively a tea drinker since (I like coffee with lots of other stuff in it to hide the flavor ;) ). However, I've never really branched out much - I know there's a world of teas out there, both black teas and herbal teas that I've never ( Read more... ) -

lol I was just thinking about all the christmas cookies my Mom used to make... and was amused at how many of the cookies that I specifically associate with this season take special equipment to make. You've got sandbakkles (molds), rosette cookies which are similar to a super thin funnel cake (special iron), those hershey bar cookies (um, cookie ( Read more... ) -
One branch of the phone tree went bad. ;)
So after my Mom and Dad moved us up here, we let them distribute our new address to family members when they saw them (such a fast move, we didn't have the full address until the day before we were driving up here). Yesterday I discovered that one branch of the phone tree went bad ( Read more... )
