I know most people would think I was a flake if I told them half the stories about my cats, but sometimes they do the strangest things ( Read more... )

So...just overwhelmed with excitement. Really ( Read more... )

All is kind of quiet here. Wrapped up my first week on my new job. I actually like it since it is different than anything I've ever done before and it's a really beautiful location. I can watch all the turkey vultures circling in the sky and there are falcons and hawks all over the place. I saw a heron (I think it's a blue heron but am not certain ( Read more... )

So, I survived my "first" day on the job Friday and am preparing myself for the upcoming work week. I think it will be cool in my new job, but I will need a little time to get used to the "bathroom." It is a little rustic.....I can hardly wait for spring when the "wildlife" is more active ( Read more... )

I suppose Melis and I will be trying the "buy a house" thing. We were going to *not* do it, but.....I hope we can get approved for a decent loan. I'm sure the banks would love it if I were still at my old job and it would look/be better, but, well, we all know I was going to go postal.

I'd like to start off this post with a little whine. My back hurts. I mistakenly thought it would be a good idea xmas night to move two very heavy queen size matresses and put together (again) my bed frame by myself. In retrospect, it was *not* a good idea. I am still sore and have to creak around like a charter member of the geriatric set. That'll ( Read more... )

Hmm, looks like another interesting holiday has passed. I can say it was a bit different than previous ones, some good some not so surprising ( Read more... )

Saw Jane's Addiction in concert last night at Hard Rock Live. Great show, suck ass audience. Well, much of the audience sucked. I hate to sound mean, but I REALLY dislike fat guys! We chose to stand in a spot where we could see the stage but failed to realize that there were these two fat, obnoxious, wannabe (or maybe they were) frat guy types ( Read more... )
