Apparently, there was a baby shower in my office today. Well, I shouldn't say "apparently." I knew it was happening and all. I was even given an invitation. But I sort of thought they were kidding. As it turns out, we were all actually expected to go. So I did, because my boss told me too. Granted, he told me before leaving for the airport ( Read more... )

According to an email I just received, there is a possibility of bad weather this afternoon. This scares me. Not because weather scares me, but because Kansas City weather people scare me. But I won't write about that, because if I ranted in my journal every time a member of the KC media annoyed me, you'd all delete me in about four hours.[1 ( Read more... )

I just checked Yahoo to see if I could get a weather forecast for this storm that is supposed to arrive tonight. According to the report, there should only be total accumulation in my area of 2-4 inches. Just after I breathed a sigh of relief, I noticed that the same report said it was currently 39 degrees with a high for the day of 38. I'm not ( Read more... )

The other night I saw a report on the news that... well, in my own defense, let me stop here. I don't actually watch TV news. But it was on while I was running around getting ready to go to bed. I swear. So as I've been walking back and forth, they've done this whole feature story on people that have gotten sick and ended up losing their homes ( Read more... )

According to this site, the #1 song on the day I was born was "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart" by The Bee Gees. The is particularly ironic because the Bee Gees scare me. Truly. That one guy's voice just sort of makes my head hurt. I can't hear that high. I try to listen to a song (okay, I don't, but it ( Read more... )

Oh, what the heck. I've already posted original content once today. Based on my recent posting history, that frees me up for the month. :) So if, in the meantime, you would like to come up with a few words to describe me, feel freeI also understand that there is more negative version of the meme, but what the heck? So far, most of you don't ( Read more... )

Awhile back, cubicalgirl tagged me to do a meme about weird habits. I haven't done it yet, largely because I already did this post back when it wasn't a meme and I (obviously) liked to hear myself talk. And since I don't think it's time to start subjecting you fine folks to reruns, I'm afraid I have to refuse.

But this will make cubicalgirl mad and she may stop ( Read more... )

Being a sports-deprived ex-Philadelphian, I can't help but be excited whenever one of my teams gets televised nationally. So needless to say, last night I happily settled in front of the TV with some snacks and a desire to stay up until the early morning watching my beloved but beleaguered Eagles play their hearts out for one last gasp at a ( Read more... )

You probably already know my philosophy when it comes to LJ... if you haven't posted in a month, there's no better way to break the ice than to ask for stuff ( Read more... )

Just wanted to make a quick announcement to let everyone know that I am back from vacation and back at work as of this morning. I have many nice comments to respond to, so I will try to get to that as soon as possible. But in the meantime, everyone might as well know I am alive and well. :)

I hope everyone had a lovely week!
