Well, in true form, the wonderful snowplow folks haven't plowed too well! I work less than 1/2 mi. from home (maybe 1 mi. if I drive), and it takes all of 3 mins. driving, and 7 mins. door to door (can you tell I've timed this?) to get to or from work. Well, at night I usually drop off the checks, so I head out 10 mins. early from work (it's a work ( Read more... )

Okay, so in as many years, we've had 2 governers (well, one current, one former) arrested... Is there not any irony in this ( Read more... )

So, I talked to the repair shop tonight, the estimate for my car was over $1900!! Thankfully, Progressive is taking care of the whole thing, so that's not a problem, but damn... They did tell me last weekend, though, that the other girl had $2500 worth of damage to hers, so it's actually lower than I thought it'd be! And, they did say that they ( Read more... )

So, my co-worker and I go out to lunch on wednesdays, you know, just to get out of the office. Well, today at said lunch, I managed to drop my purse. In so doing, I checked my stuff, found nothing missing, and went on with lunch. After awhile, I notice my cell phone isn't in it's slot. I figured I left it at work, and it was on the floor, next to ( Read more... )

So, class went kinda late tonight, and it was well after 10 when I got home. I got out of the car, and what did I hear? A baying session! But, not *just* a baying session, the pack of neighborhood coyotes baying!! Yes, seriously, I heard the full pack of coyotes baying! It was such an awesomely musical sound! And, it's nice to know that they're ( Read more... )

So, today has been all sorts of interesting... I got up about 7:30, so I could get ready early in order to try and get ready early, and try and head to the dermatologist before my apt. at 11:30. Well, they said no, they had a full day, but show up at 10, and they'd see what they can do. Now, my dermatologist is pretty well known, and gets a lot of ( Read more... )

I got in the car to head back to work from lunch (Thank Goddess I like this close to the office, or I'd so totally go nuts if I didn't leave for lunch everyday!!), and there was ice on the windows! It's was like a frozen slushy mess, but ice none the less ( Read more... )

I didn't do much with the politics game, but this year I did vote, and am happy as a clam with the outcome!! I guess for some reason a lot of people are now scared of more terrorist attacks, etc. (umm, like who the president is makes a difference in that department?) and various other things, but one really random thing has been relaeased about the ( Read more... )

Okay, so I'm becoming a big fan of tivo... tonight's dancing w/the stars results show (which was switched to today due to the election yeterday), featured one of my absolutely favorite dance (which I'd never heard of until last season when I first saw the show,) is the pasodoble, which is apparently the dance of the bullfighter (and SERIOUSLY  ( Read more... )
