2008

 Since I worked 12.5 hours today and have another 12.5 hours to work tomorrow I am celebrating the New Year a wee bit early.  It's midnight somewhere, right?  :) I can't believe that 2009 is almost here.  Where has the year gone?  How quickly time flies.  I can't bel...

  I just wanted to wish everyone a Merry/Happy Christmas!  I hope that all of you are having a wonderful day with your family and friends. I am up in Kingman at my parents house, we got in late last night.  I am already ready to start hitting the bottle...  ;) My visit so...

Got the link for this quiz from the lovely Vellosa.  Pretty surprised at how accurate it is. Your view on yourself: You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before ma...

I am watching Widget stalk a very wee beetle over by the fireplace.  It's amusing.  :)  He's not been into bugs ever since the gross tasting spider incident, he just paws at them now.  Did I ever write about the gross tasting spider?  I don't think that I did.  I had...

Went to the dentist this morning for a cleaning and my 6 month check-up - no cavities!  Yay. Not a whole lot going around here right now, just doing some laundry and pondering cleaning up the kitchen a wee bit.  I think I'll just finish the laundry.  ;) Matt comes home in 12 days!&...

I finished up my technical writing class last week the day that I left for Arizona.  Came back home, checked my grades and wound up with an A for the course!  Yay!  I also had a note from my professor reguarding the editorial essay that I wrote on teaching teenagers the use of birt...

Incase anyone was worried I am safe and sound in Arizona.  :)  Plane ride out was bumpy and the drive was a fight to keep my eyes open but I made it.  I got a red Toyota Matrix for my rental car, it's not too bad.  I am not sure I'd buy one but whatever,…

Tonight I had the classroom part of the motorcycle course, tomorrow and Sunday we actually get to go out and learn to ride!  I'm looking forward to it even though it is supposed to be a tad bit on the warm side here.  I am crossing my fingers hoping that I can pick up riding…

I had my yearly poke and prod today at Planned Parenthood.  I got taken off of regular birth control pills and put on progestin only(POPs) pills because I have high blood pressure.  Yay.  I guess this is a reason for me to start exercising, watch what I eat, cut down on the beer in...

What is the story behind April Fool's Day?  How did it get started?  I guess if I was ever told I've forgotten because I really have no idea how or why this day came about.  Thus far no pranks have been played on me and I don't intend on fooling any of the Gullible Gus'…
