Well, I've been off of work since Wednesday and will be off until January 3. I'm gald, I needed a break. I think I always feel like I need a break. Anyways, I've spent my days getting ready for Christmas..except for Wednesday; busy with doctor's appointments (part of the fun of once having a cancer mass. As if that wasn't enough, I then spent a ( Read more... )

A coworker's father died last week in a car accident. As is our usual practice, a sympathy card is sent around for all of us to sign. The card gets to me, I sign it and then glance at the front. Now, the card was made on the computer by another coworker. Well, on the front of the card was a small picture of a CAR driving away on a snowy road. ( Read more... )

Tonight I attempted to teach my friend Sara to knit. Casting on went great, but the whole concept of the actual garter stitch. Yeah..she was doing it but not really understanding. She ripped out her project three times. I don't think I'm a good knitting teacher. I think I better stick to teaching numbers and letters.

Ok, I'm trying not to get too scared. I've been getting creepy text messages for hours. I have no idea who they are from. First it started out telling me about their cat and now they're telling me they're going to show up at my work tomorrow. I'm hoping this is a joke, but I'm starting to get a little scared.

So, I was on my way to Fred Meyers this morning when I saw this sign outside a local florist.. "Men say flowers die; but so do they and we want them anyways." It made me giggle and think of a coworker of mine.

Well, today I went to a baby shower. I usually despise going to baby showers. I hate stupid games. I usually end up having no desire to be pregnant whatsoever when I hear the pregnancy/birthing horror stories. But today's was nice, in spite of my whining and complaining (honestly, sometimes I think I act more like a three year old instead of ( Read more... )

Well, I did something tonight that I'm proud of. I let something go..which is hard for me. I like to dwell and let things fester. But tonight I didn't. I sucked it up and met the girlfriend of my friend E. We met at Bear's Tooth and she's really cool. I like her a lot and got myself invited to housewarming potluck on Sunday evening AND (this is ( Read more... )

Well, it's one of my days off. It was pretty good. I ran around on a few errands for a project I am regreting saying I would do. You know the expression "No good deed goes unpunished"....well, that's the truth in this case. Oh well, it happens. My mother is out of state and has her dog kenneled here in Anchorage. So, I picked him up for a little ( Read more... )

I'm not. Which is terrible. That list yesterday? hmmmm..I accomplished..shopping for yarn, making phone calls, and that's about it. I guess going to WalMart early this morning counts. oh, oh, oh..wait..I did clean my living room this afternoon. I tried..but people came over bearing DVD's to watch. We watched the Merchant of Venice and I tried ( Read more... )

So, this is my third day off from work. It's nice. I needed a little break. I've accomplished zilch but that's ok. Today, I need to get something done though. So today, I run errands (buy some yarn for a gift, grocery store, etc.)CLEAN, finish emptying out my flowerpots and clean up my balcony, clean out my car, and make a couple phone calls. I ( Read more... )
