Weekend of Ice Continues...
Work is closed tomorrow, so I do get a day off out of this weather thing after all. I guess I could be watching tonight's episode of Big Love, which is currently recording on HBO-West. When it originally came on at 9 I watching Family Guy and DVRing Desperate Housewives. But Frank's downstairs working on a class project, so I'll give him some ( Read more... ) -
Iced In
We got a lot of ice here this weekend. I'm kind of disappointed that it was on a Saturday- we don't even get a day off. Tonight we are supposed to be at Grey Gardens, The Musical, but I decided to call and exchange our tickets for next weekend. Our parking lot is a sheet of ice, and I hear the roads aren't much better, so I figured it was better ( Read more... ) -

Long Weekend (Sort of)
I had a nice weekend. It still felt like a long weekend, even though I worked on Saturday. The Summer Camps registration day was pretty much as crazy as I expected. When I arrived at 8AM, there were already people waiting in line. It was supposed to start at 9, but we were set up and ready to go by 8:30, so we opened early to get a head start. ( Read more... ) -
New Job, New Routine
I've been at my "new" job for a week now, and I'm still getting adjusted to having a new routine. The job is in the same department, but doing totally different things. My old job was pretty much sitting at a desk for 8 hours, answering the phone, taking registrations, following up on payment plans, etc. My new job involves getting materials ( Read more... ) -

My Top Songs of 2009
Okay, so I'm a day late in getting these 2009 wrap-up posts done, but I've been so lazy the last few days since getting back from our trip. And, yes, I still haven't written about that yet, either. I will later today. Or tomorrow. :-)

Books I Read in 2009:
My complete list of books read in 2009, a total of 23. I wish I'd read one or two more, because 24 or 25 would be a better number than 23, but oh, well. It gives me something to aim for in 2010. I already have a small stack to get started on.
She's Come Undone, Wally Lamb (fiction)
Best American Short Stories: 2008, Salman Rushdie, editor ( ( Read more... ) -
Holiday break- Yay
I'm winding down the last hour before I leave for the holiday break. I am leaving at 1, going home and then leaving for the airport. We are flying to Tampa and the cruise is tomorrow. It gets back Monday, and we fly home Tuesday, getting us home in time for a few days of hanging out at home (and some parties) before January 4th arrives and it's ( Read more... )
