  • Thank Goodness For Cat Doors!

    This morning got off to a not-so-good start when I headed out the back door towards the garage without my keys or wallet. I quickly turned around hoping I hadn't locked the door...I had. In the past I've had a spare…

  • Snow

    Brrrr!! It never did get very warm today and now there's an inch or so of icy snow on everything. Hmmm...that's about the only thing of note that happened today. Oh! To top off my very nice, long day off yesterd…

  • A Most Lovely Day Off

    My day off seems to be lasting forever! I woke up at my normal time, but it is like today has been in slow motion. I had breakfast, watched some football, took a nice, long walk to my favorite antique store (found some…

  • Back To Normal & Back To Work

    Mom and I went out to breakfast, then she packed up and headed home. I decided to go in to work and got almost a full day in. I've spent the rest of the evening catching up on all the internet browsing I've been neg…

  • Almost Back To Normal

    I didn't eat quite as much today as I did yesterday. The pie is all gone as are the potatoes and dressing. There is still quite a bit of turkey left, which will make for some nice sandwiches. We drove my brother to th…

  • Stuffed

    As expected I ate way too much food. It was the ususal...turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes, gravy, cranberry sauce, apple pie, pumpkin pie and of course Cool Whip. My mom and I went for a nice long walk this morning…

  • Countdown to T-Day

    We had a lovely breakfast at an organic restaurant near the train station with the cutest young gay waiter. We then spent most of the rest of the day shopping. My brother called this evening and is coming down from …

  • Vacation Begins

    Mom arrived safe and sound this afternoon. We had dinner at Laughing Planet and then hit a couple thrift stores. We're having breakfast with sister tomorrow morning, then off to do some shopping. I was able to take a …

  • Scrambling

    Well, I wasn't quite as close to being ready for company as I thought and I found out this evening that my mom is coming down tomorrow afternoon! So I've been scrambling to get everything ready...cleaning my bathroom…

  • Yay!

    We won our volleyball match this evening. One of the women on my team is putting together a team for yet another league and asked me if I wanted to be on the team. I may soon be on three teams in three different lea…

  • Better Photos?

    Here's a photo I took this morning of the seam in question: It still doesn't show it very well, but at least on my monitor I can see what looks likes clouds on the horizon, right above the seam. The stain below is faint…

  • Bread & Butter

    I resisted the urge to get a pizza tonight and settled for bread and butter and some root beer. I may have a pizza tomorrow instead. Work did go quickly today. I really should make a plan for tomorrow or I have the fe…

  • Floor Woes

    I may have mentioned before that there was a problem with the installation of my linoleum floor. One of the seams looked to be pretty badly bothched with the floor stained on either side of the seam and the factory fini…

  • Oops...almost again.

    I almost had an oops of my own today. Our warehouse is an accident waiting to happen and my cat-like reflexes and impeccable sense of balance is the only thing that has kept me alive as I haul heavy boxes up and down…

  • Oops

    One of my coworkers broke the most expensive piece of glass in our store...and it fell on a lamp and broke another piece of glass almost as valuable. All, in all, it caused probably over $1000 damage. She was trying to…

  • Ready For My Dinner Date

    Well, if I really DID have a dinner date, I'd be ready. This afternoon I found a couple nice, bright blue chairs to use at my table in the dining area: I'd still like to find a larger table top. This one is only 30 inc…

  • Back To Work

    Work went quickly today...and I have another day off tomorrow. I don't really have any plans, but I'd like to work on my bathroom some more. Today's diet consisted of fish and chips and bread and cheese and just a…

  • Missed Oppurtunity

    I buy an awful lot of "stuff". And even with all the stuff I buy and all the stuff I have, my biggest regrets are usually the things I pass up buying. I found a couple very nice speakers at a local thrift store. They …

  • Ho Hum

    I am reaching the end of a most uneventful week. Work has been rather hectic and the weather has been all over the place...from eerily warm to loads of rain to cold and wet. There was record rainfall to the north, incl…

  • RAIN

    It was quite nice today. A warm front moved it a few days ago,bringing with it plenty of rain, but we had a break for most of the day today. I spent most of the day getting organized around my desk area, but took a …

  • Volleyball and Fruit Flies

    Last friday night I was invited to be on another volleyball team in a league that plays on wednesday nights. Tonight was our first match and we won. It is completely different team than my sunday night team and I …

  • 15 Minutes of You Tube Fame

    Okay, so it's not exactly 15 minutes (more like 5 seconds) and "fame" is a bit of an overstatement, but for an absolute You Tube nobody, it was fun to get at least a little bit of attention. Through another young You Tu…
