Rem and I attended the four-day convention over the Labor Day weekend. WE HAD A BLAST ( Read more... )

Well, this coming Friday morning we are getting up at 5am and heading out of town for Dallas by no later than 6:30am. I must make a pit stop at McDonald's for an iced coffee. Caffeine is what keeps me going everyday. I am so excited I'm having a hard time concentrating at work. BTW, work, for the most part, has been a bitch this year. I like my ( Read more... )

Oh yes, friends, I am going to AnimeFest in Dallas, TX over the Labor Day weekend. We had been planning to go to Corpus Christi on vacation. Our plans changed when Rem showed me the Google map with the route to the hotel in Dallas. The freeway runs right behind the parking lot. I'm not crazy about driving in the traffic up there but I want to ( Read more... )

Last Saturday my daughter, Rem, graduated from college. She worked hard to get through it all but I knew she could do it. She's a hell of a lot smarter than me or her dad. I LOVE YOU, MIJA! I am ssssooo proud of that child. She is my favorite daughter. As she always tells me, "But, Mom, I'm your ONLY daughter." *laughs ( Read more... )

Had my annual review today at work. I got a "Satisfactory" score but my W-2 is going to look the same for 2010 that it did for 2009. Oh well, things could be worse; at least I'm employed. *big sigh* Gee, I wonder if I could get Rem to treat to a "consolation" dinner. ~_^ Food seems to make me feel better. *chuckles ( Read more... )

Thanks, Alice, for the beautiful Snowflake Cookie. That's the first Virtual Gift I've ever received on LJ. What a wonderful surprise on a wet & cloudy evening. It sure brightened up my day.

Ah, what a wonderful way to spend a Saturday afternoon. I just found the most recent NCIS fanfic done by Xanthe on her website. The story is titled "Two Masters". Reading her stories is what got me started on watching Stargate Atlantis and NCIS on TV within the last year or so ( Read more... )

I'm still here. The only difference is that I bought a house in August. I moved from a small 2-bedroom apartment into a 3-bedroom/1 bath house. Thank God for a bigger, nicer place to live ( Read more... )

Ha, I still live!!!!!!!! Although my existence has consisted MOSTLY of going to work, I've been making my escape from RL by enjoying the wonderful movies that have been coming out in recent weeks. For a couple of hours each weekend, I break the bonds which chain me to this mortal plane and soar to new heights through the movies I watch ( Read more... )
