Beautiful Morning
There's something to be said for getting up early in the morning, wandering into the kitchen and stirring up a fresh cup of french vanilla coffee, opening the back door and letting the cool breeze flow through your home and listening to the sounds of the world coming alive. This is what I enjoy so much about fall. There a peaceful silence in the ( Read more... ) -
a Series of Unfortunate Events
Today is Day 4. And I'm on my laptop not my desktop....
Day 1
So, toward the beginning of the week, I heard a couple of clicking sounds coming from my desktop as I was in the midst of working on some After effects training. I didn't really think much of it at the time. My mistake, because only moments later, I encountered the devastating BSOD ( ( Read more... ) -
...And ages pass...
I was terribly saddened to learn that James Oliver Rigney Jr, known to most as the author Robert Jordan, passed away after a great battle with a blood disease. Jordan was the author of the epic Wheel of Time series and was working on the 12th of his great novels when he passed away on Sunday ( Read more... ) -
Just wow...
I had to do this because I really wanted to see where I've been. Apparently, I've visited 30 states (58%). I've decided I'm going to make it my goal to visit the other 20 states I'm missing.

Phone weirdness
So, I picked up the cordless phone the other day and after about 15 seconds, it goes dead on me. It's been on the cradle forever so we just assumed it was about time for it to be dead anyway. So, we went to Best Buy and bought a nifty new phone that's suppose to be wireless interference free and really good on security ( Read more... ) -
Had a great B'Day weekend :-)
Here's what we did this past weekend.
The twins (my step-brothers Brendan and Jeremy) graduated high school with honors on Friday night. Jeremy was Salutatorian and spoke. It was a fantastic speech and the graduation was really nice.
Saturday, I had a lovely birthday which I spent getting a hair cut in the morning and then meeting my dad and ( Read more... ) -
Afterthoughts (it's a long one)
So, I've finished my first week at my new job. Afterthoughts about the week make me believe that I may actually have a chance to get into creating commercials in the future. For now, I am actually content to be a receptionist and "learn the business" so to speak.
I apparently have a reputation already among some of my co-workers regarding my ( Read more... )
