blogging?

I am so not good at this anymore. I got so used to not having the internet, that now I have it, I just don't use it.

Anyways...

As you all know, I haven't lived in Seattle in over a year. (Can't believe it!!) So I am going to retire this blog and write on one of the other ones. Probably A Few Words From...

Check that one, but not any time soon. lol It's conference weekend and I have things to do. One of these days, I will write. Promise!

end of february...already...

As you may or may not know, I like just about everything the Pet Shop Boys have done. That includes this video. It is so neat from a graphic standpoint. (just don't blame me if you find parts of it offensive...)

Speaking of Graphic Design... I posted a new link on my sidebar. Riga Sutakul is such a fantastic designer and a lovely person to boot. Please check out her website. :)

As for everything else, BG, I WILL write about my tea one of these days...

...it's for the best that all the guys at work are married or have girlfriends. It means they are all straight! :)

hi

I'm still here. Sort of. I'm never online, so blogging has become a bit of a problem. There's rumours that we are getting new computers next week, and since we are supposed to be placing order online, I'm hoping that means I'll have the internet at work. Which means I can blog. Maybe. There are 4 old computers in the office and we are getting 2 new ones. I can't do "new math..." I'd like to hope that I get one of the new ones, but we'll see. The "owner" was out today and didn't bother telling me. I only knew because I had overheard him telling a customer earlier this week. Ah well, we kept rather busy in spite of it all. Or was it because of it all? I don't know.

I do know that I've been sick this week. Just a medium-bad cold, but enough to make me feel yucky. It was mostly gone this morning, then I got an allergic reaction to something at work and started sneezing all over again. boo. But I took Claritin when I got home and seem to be doing better.

We had long weekends for both Christmas and New Years. I must say that I got rather lazy over Christmas - staying up late, sleeping in til whenever, doing very little in between. Then, suddenly!, it was Sunday night and I was like, "I have to go to work in the morning."

So up early for work on Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday. Then I drove to Smiths Falls for J&J's New Year's Eve party. All the guests left around 12:30 and the 3 of us stayed up and watched Office Space. I do so enjoy that movie. :) Of course, that meant that we didn't get to bed until like 3 and then we slept in quite late and then dragged ourselves out of bed around 11. We ate waffles then wandered out into the frigid morning air. It was -20C overnight and the chill was still in the air. And there was a line at the Tim Horton's. I spent the afternoon & evening at S&J's for family Christmas dinner. After dinner, we went out on the [frozen] lake. I didn't feel like sitting in the snow to put on my skates that had been in my car since the previous morning, so I just wandered around in my boots and took pictures (Nope, there not here. lol) and talked to their neighbors. Back inside, we opened presents, looked at Uncle B's pictures of New Zealand, and watched Mamma Mia! I was back at J&J's around 10 and decided to watch Charlie & The Chocolate Factory. It was good & I adore Johnny Depp! Friday morning was off to an earlier start, and we drove to Kingston after breakfast. I'd never been. We went to Tim's downtown by the water. J said that it's always winter in Kingston - even in the middle of July. I'd believe it! We shopped downtown for a bit, then went out to the mall. I left from the mall, drove in a lot of snow south of Watertown, but north of Syracuse, stopped in Syracuse and was in bed by 9:30 that evening.

Saturday, I was up bright & early. I had a hair appointment at 9:15. New stylist, but I like the salon, so I think I'll keep going to her. :) That day was also our Sunday School Treat. I missed the meeting & the prizes, but made it in time for lunch. Then we went skating at BCC. I was going to just go home & get ready for fellowship, but decided to go out to S's for games and supper. It's a shame they live so far out, cuz I really like their house. Sunday was fellowship. I made a taco casserole for lunch and Creamy One-Pot Pasta for supper. By the time we got thru supper, I was totally exhausted, so I went home, cleaned up my kitchen and went to bed. (Note: I think I got sick because I was exhausted - just thought of that...)

And then Monday was back to routine, up early, back exercises, fixing my coffee as I dash out the door. Wednesday morning, woke up to everything shiny. Shiny, as in, there was an inch of ice covering everything. Including the parking lot at work, which made the walk from my car rather treacherous. It's still almost as bad, although J used up a bag of ice melt today hoping to melt it so we could walk to our cars. It was better... Today was busy - the phones rang off the hook all morning, then we had customers in for several hours when we were going to go to lunch. (I never went, so was thankful I had packed a lunch!) Then the balance of the afternoon was spent answering more phone calls and making sure J phoned all his people back, got everything ordered, etc. We were there until almost 5:30 finishing stuff up. Then we stood in the parking lot and chatted. Because it was so warm (not!) outside?!

And now the weekend is here again. Crazy first week of 2009!


HAPPY NEW YEAR!
