I spent today doing absolutely nothing AND IT WAS GLORIOUS.

Well, not exactly nothing. I spent the afternooning messing about online. Then I spent about 4 hours breaking in my Super Mario Bros. Wii. I agree with corsiva. It's kind of frustrating, especially since you can't save after every level you pass. I mean I spent all that time playing and I haven ( Read more... )

I didn't forget to post yesterday but I had no access to the internet so I shall just post twice today ( Read more... )

I've been finding it increasingly difficult to concentrate at work lately. I think the last 2 weeks of '09 left me burnt out. I need to get our accounts receivable up to date and though it's a tedious task, with a few minor exceptions, it's not a particularly difficult one. I should have been able to do it within a day or two. And yet I still haven ( Read more... )

I've been doing relatively well so far on my eating habits. With the exception of grandma's birthday on Sunday, I haven't eaten out or ordered take-out at all in the last 2 weeks. I've completely cut out soda and am drinking mostly water. I've been eating a lot of yogurt and sandwiches for lunch and a bit of fruit as well, and most importantly I've ( Read more... )

I got home from work to find a nice surprise waiting for me this afternoon. My best friend Paula was a bit late in sending out her gifts to my sister and myself but they finally arrived in the mail today. She and my 2 year old nephew David Jr. made us our gifts.

While we were partying last night, my DVR failed to record the 2 hour premiere of Chuck. This is displeasing. I was hoping it would repeat but that doesn't look likely. I know I can just watch it online but Chuck is one of the shows we watch as a family. I'm wondering if anyone slightly more tech savvy than myself could be of use ( Read more... )

So, my grandmother's 80th birthday party went off without a hitch. We had a bit of a hard time trying to convince her to go out at first (she was told the immediate family was taking her out to dinner, but she didn't want us to spend money on her *sigh*) but in the end we managed to get her dolled up and out of the house. She didn't suspect a thing ( Read more... )

I got to sleep in this morning but I was having some crazy ass dreams last night. In one I was going through old bags of clothes and photo albums with my best friend's mom (who passed away several years ago) because my best friend had died (she's alive and well) and we were sharing stories of how we met and I kept finding money tucked away in ( Read more... )

So during last night's Ranger game I managed to finally get my dad to agree to come to a game with me. His usual reply is "it's a waste of money" but miraculously he willingly agreed to go to the game against the Penguins on the 25th. In fact my mom and sister decided to come too. Huge shocker. Then I get in to work this morning and my boss puts ( Read more... )

Oy I'm so tired this evening. My cousin had some errands to run out in Long Island at her summer house and she decided to bring me along for company so I had a nice rare day out of the office. I love it when we get to hang out together, she's a blast ( Read more... )
