My birthday is next week (24th).  I keep getting asked what I want, but I don't know.  I kinda feel like I have what I need, so why ask for random stuff I don't.  The only thing I've told Shane I wanted is a new pair of sunglasses and for him to take me to see 'Westside Story' at the AL Shakespeare Festival.

It frustrates him that I don't tell him ( Read more... )

I LOVE that movie.  For some reason while listening to random songs while working, I remembered that I absolutely love the song "Silent Sigh" which is on the About A Boy Soundtrack (by Badly Drawn Boy)...and I thought, "man, I want to listen to it".  So, first I created a station (pandora.com) for that song, but of course it doesn't play that song ( Read more... )

Okay...so pandora.com is like the coolest online radio station ever.  You just type in the name of a song or artist you like, and the website will build a "station" built around similar songs/artists.  So basically, you're listening to nothing but music you like.  So I've created a schedule for my daily listening experience at work: in the morning ( Read more... )

so this past weekend, shane & i spent huge amounts of money as a result of receiving our tax rebate check a few weeks ago.  the shopping excursion was not planned to boost the economy, but if in the tiny universe of our economy it helped in the least bit, then good.  otherwise, we spent the money because we wanted stuff and now had the money to ( Read more... )

 i never thought i'd be scared to ask someone for assistance, but today, I actually am.  not b/c i'm afraid of looking like an idiot, but b/c the person I have to ask has such a bad attitude.  it's like i'd rather sit in ignorance than have to deal with someone who spews such evilness from their being.  i could be overreacting, but i don't like ( Read more... )

And I guess I mean that in more ways than one.  I'm back - meaning that I'm back from our cruise (and have been for over a week now) and that I'm back at EDS.  I wish I could say it feels awesome to be back at EDS, but it doesn't feel that way.  It doesn't feel bad, but things don't seem super-awesome.  First, it's not super-awesome, b/c I just ( Read more... )

I have no desire to work today or the rest of the week when I know I'm merely days away from my first cruise ever!  Shane and I are pretty darn excited....but now it seems that this week insists on dragging by slowly only prolonging the anticipation.  I think we will fare well though.

Nothing much to talk about.  Last night Shane's friend Tim was ( Read more... )

then I can be officially an ex-associate (we're not referred to as "employees") of Cahaba Government Benefit Administrators, LLC.  I'm excited about it.  Here lately it seems like I have less and less to do.  My manager wanted me to roll-off as many projects as I could to let whoever will be taking over said project get the experience while I was ( Read more... )

I was watching it this morning and thinking it would be cool if there was.  Same cheesy actors in the same cheesy roles & story lines that made me love the show in the first place.  I think the most interesting would be to see if Dustin Diamond (aka Screech) chooses to reprise his role.  Probably not, huh?  Either way, this morning's episode was ( Read more... )

I put the subject line in call caps to try to fully convey the magnitude of my bored-ness.  Ugh - I hate working here sometimes (obviously since I'm quitting).  It's like...I have something I could be doing, but that task itself is beyond boring as well.  I've found something else I could do, too, but I've already started posting, so I can't stop ( Read more... )
