Ugh. Do not want.

Friday, May 30th, 2008

So it looks like I may be back in job-hunting mode soon. My entire group is on the verge of imploding, and frankly, I don’t know if I want to be the last one standing when the dust clears. I dunno, man. I was just starting to think I actually liked my [...]

Aggravations, brief

Thursday, May 29th, 2008

Wearing a skirt to work only to have it turn unseasonably cold outside.
Spending all day doing work for one customer.
Gaining ~7lbs despite a three-times-a-week workout (and without eating more).
Checkpoint firewalls.
Forgetting to pay your car tag registration.
Having your boss volunteer you to make other people do their jobs.
Coming home to find a giant pile of cat [...]

Stats, cookie cake, and the return of the prodigal cat

Tuesday, May 27th, 2008

Today is my 27th birthday. Supposedly that makes it my “golden” birthday because I’m 27 on the 27th. Wikipedia says it, so it must be true, right? According to Wikipedia, I should be drinking champagne tonight, too. Instead I ate a gigantor slice of cookie cake. And then had a [...]

Gaby, where are you?

Sunday, May 25th, 2008

My little Gaby cat ran away. Josh let her out last night, and she hasn’t come back yet. She’s not used to going out, and she has a tendency to get herself stuck places when she gets scared. I am worried because she hasn’t had her yearly shots yet, plus she’s not [...]

Tchotchke zoo

Friday, May 23rd, 2008

So I have a thing for animal-shaped tchotchkes. I have a variety around the house but not enough to be overwhelming. In our living room I’ve got ducks, elephants, fish, a baby turtle, a puffin, and corals (because they are animals, too, you know). I’m always looking for more. Josh doesn’t [...]

Jesus Camp

Thursday, May 22nd, 2008

So Tuesday night I was channel surfing, and I came across this documentary. It was just rolling the opening credits as I surfed to it, so I figured I’d watch it. I’d read about it on cnn.com when it came out, and I was interested in seeing it because I was raised sort [...]

I hate you, Internet.

Wednesday, May 21st, 2008

So I’m working on a post that actually requires a little thought from me. And I was chugging away on writing it until I got a call that there were 4 tickets from a customer that needed tending to (I’m on call this week). Apparently this customer has decided to go crazy and [...]

Two cents on three albums

Tuesday, May 20th, 2008

Recent albums I put on my iPod and my opinions thereof.
Yeah, I’m not ashamed to say I’ve got this on my iPod. Ok, well, maybe a little. But I know I’m not the only one (I’m looking at you, Anita!). I’ve listened to this album a few times because I really, [...]

My tropical sunroom

Monday, May 19th, 2008

As promised, before and after pictures of our sunroom. We used some of our economic stimulus check to buy some furniture from Target. I love our sunroom, so I’m excited that we can actually hang out in it now.
Before:

It was pretty bare out there. We had the one incident of leakage from [...]

Fin (The Blanket)

Sunday, May 18th, 2008

Finally finished the blanket I’ve been working on for the last few months. It’s a baby blanket for Josh’s new brother Liam. I did get a picture of us and the blanket and Liam, but I forgot to get Josh’s mom to copy it for me before we left for Augusta. Here [...]
