Christmas always makes me reflect. Maybe because it's such a...noteworthy time of year? It makes me think about what I was doing for other Christmases...who I was with, where I was. Which leads me to think about why I was there, or where I am now. I feel like I've come to a grinding halt in terms of my personal growth. Now I'm just focusing on ( Read more... )

- They've put me on a long-term contract at work. I hate the work I'm doing there. At least it gives me a normal schedule, so I'm able to do things like join choir and leave on the weekends.

- Some people are amazing. I am not.

When I went to Chicago weekend before last I went to Arlington Racetrack to watch some horses run.  I love doing that, by the way.  On a gorgeous day, sitting outside watching the horses, and getting all excited about cheering for your horse, wheee!  It's just a fun Saturday afternoon activity.  I usually only do safe bets and end up up about $5 ( Read more... )

Thai officials hope Hello Kitty can shame errant copsI've had a lot of time to...do nothing, pretty much. I've only been on one call since I got back from Cleveland (the problem was that the customer had not pressed the second Reset button...so often it's the little things that get you). Today I put a dimmer switch and fan control in the bedroom ( Read more... )

Ooo, I had my first Wii tragedy today.  A couple of Wii remotes still had the old style strap on them, even though I had the replacement straps.  Garrett was Wii bowling and accidentally let go of the controller, broke the strap, and it hit my fireplace (very thankfully not my brand new TV) with great force.  I have a Wii-dent on the fireplace ( Read more... )
