Okay, while you are all anxiously (okay, maybe not) awaiting my next installment of my recent European Adventures (check back tomorrow) I’ll leave you with a question, inspired by the lovely Sophie:
What’s the stupidest thing you did as a kid? I’m dying to know!
ps: Comment here, and then go and see my answer over [...]

It’s no surprise that on Friday I wasn’t exactly having the best day at work. I’d planned on staying later at the office than I did, except that the fire alarm started going off. Alot.
I had a baaad headache by the end of the day, and I just couldn’t take it anymore.
So, I [...]

Okay, everyone… Here’s the first installation of my update. I’ve basically taken notes from my trip and put them into some semblance of order for your vicarious enjoyment…
Christmas Day… Leaving my Dad’s before the turkey dinner was tough, but I’m so glad I got to spend some time with most of my family before [...]

Crap.
My day job is overwhelming, today. I have a ton of projects that absolutely, postively, must be done for a tradeshow which the company (read: not me) is attending next week.
Guess who’s working late to accomplish these deadlines.
*sigh*
I think I’d like to be back in say, Venice, right now. At least I’m not [...]

Okay, boys and girls, I am writing a *very* lengthy update on my adventures all over Western Europe, which I hope to have posted tonight… But in the meantime: I know a lot of geeks read my blog. (Yes, you.) I have a question for you!
Am I missing something, or is our [...]

My new Dell is coming! I don’t think I’ve ever been this excited, or anticipated the arrival of a new laptop as much as I have with this one.
Let’s face it… I cannot be computerless at home. Ever. Again.

Hey guys! I’m not dead… Sorry for the delay in updating you all on my recent adventures. I’ve been quite sick, including taking some time away from work to get better. Having no computer at home has really hindered my ability to follow up on personal emails also.
Thankfully, my Dell Inspiron is [...]

Looks like the link has quit! No link to funny SNL movie for you! …You took too long to come and watch it!
Holy freekin’ funny SNL skit. Hit the play button in the middle to watch this short flick.
I think Vern needs to have this playing on repeat in his [...]

See, I brought the sun home with me!
I’m home, kids!
Man, did I have a lot of adventures… Some really fun, one pretty scary. All made my trip interesting, that’s for sure.
Mostly, I missed you all. Especially, I missed my Sweetheart. I never, ever want to go away and leave him behind for [...]

I’m breaking my rule about posting about work in a way I probably wouldn’t want my employers to read, but I figure it’s not on my site so it doesn’t count.
I’m thoroughly fed up with my job.
The job itself, I don’t mind. In fact, I really enjoy what I do, the people I [...]

Although I’m a die hard skier and have just started to get my fix of skiing now that the mountains have snow; I’m jonesing in a big way to take out Gizmo again.
I had to park Gizmo when I was going through the hell that was selling my house and putting everything into storage(including poor [...]

Since it is Friday and Tanya isn’t here, I figured I should keep some of her customs alive, so welcome to Friday silliness. Okay, so it might not be as silly as she can make it, but i promise it will be educational (and i hear a chorus of yippees from the crowd)
The Origins [...]

Okay, that first post with nothing on it was too funny!
I had started to write a post yesterday and hit some sort of key combination and it disappeared. I thought I’d accidentally cleared it, so I closed the window and went back to work thinking I’ll try again later.
Alrighty, I’m very excited [...]

So I started reading the rants and raves on Craigslist this week since someone mentioned how funny they are. Today they are having an ongoing discussion about “cougars” which is pretty funny but definitely getting out of hand.
I am generally not the initial aggresor when it comes to dating. And I definitely do not [...]

Well, I think it’s high time we all start making up stories about the adventures of our dear netchick while she’s away.
I’ll start.
I think the real reason she’s chose Europe for her holidays was to practice for the Isle of Man TT race for her and the
Black Beast.
She’s been secretly training for it [...]

What is it with co-workers/bosses making one feel bad about taking vacation? I am oh so lucky for having a chance to go on a month holiday in Southeast Asia in Feb. I am using vacation time and overtime and non paid days to make it happen. and i’ve been saving for [...]

You know, I recognize that many of my best qualities as an employee include my drive, efficiency, creativity, persistency and dependability. However I also know that I can work 3 x faster than most of my colleagues and deliver above average results on deadline. Knowing this I tend to waste a lot of time…The problem [...]

Supposedly the days are getting longer, and before we know it we’ll be flung into spring. At least that’s how the optimists are calling it. But right now I feel like I’m living my life in darkness.
I get up, it’s dark.
I go to work - still dark.
If I stop to do a [...]

OK, had to share this update to my depressing New Year’s post. My friend calls this a.m. She went to do her laundry from her trip home last night. Looked for the bag that was by the entranceway to her townhouse. The thief also stole a bag filled with her dirty underwear. Why? Why? Why? [...]
