What a fantastic day! I got home and "Ganging Up On The Sun" was in the mail, then I found out about the "Easy" EP on iTunes. I just updated my iPod and my headphones will be firmly planted in my ears all day tomorrow at work ( Read more... )

Yay Hurricane season! It's nice that Alberto did not turn into a Hurricane, but we are getting lots of rain and we need it BADLY. Maybe it will help put out some of the fires and build up the aquifer a bit. We have a huge rain deficit for the year. Another bonus is that it has cooled it down a bit.

Well, it's the first day of Hurricane season and I'm tired of hearing about it already.

Driving is out of the question too, not that I haven't done it before, but I usually combine it with a vacation. I hate the fact that many of the people I would love to ( Read more... )

I have a friend, actually several friends, who are into playing Texas Holdem. He has been trying to get me to play with them for some time and I just wasn't very interested. Well, I finally gave in this weekend (after a couple of Martinis). I had a blast and kicked some ass too! I could learn to like this game ( Read more... )

I'm sitting here at work bored out of my mind. I've got lots to do, just not the motivation to actually get it done. Oh well, there's always next week ( Read more... )

Yay! Guster will indeed be joining us on the cruise. That is just so awesome!! I may not be able to stand what other surprises they have in store for us. Only 10 months to go......

Now I just need to worry about getting out of work on time so I can hit my buddy's St. Patrick's Day party tonight...WOOOOO! (His name is Patrick too.)

My aunt sent me this, these things make me crazy!
