No more internet

Filed under: Technology, Work
April 16, 2008

So the boss cracked down. He is mainly worried about how things look for the Division of Water and himself, if Albany cracks down on improper internet use. Bah! He doesn’t know that I can blog without going on my blog, I just have to send an e-mail, like I’m doing now!

However, I have not been able to check the WW thread since this morning. Or my e-mail, I did check Verizon to see how much the enV will be for Gwen. It is $80. I suppose I will have to pay for part of it. Well, not have to, I think I will offer half if she still wants it. She wants it so she can send text messages. Just a couple months ago, she told me she didn’t like text messaging. Well, I guess Tigger changed that for her.

I told M about the phone and how much and she is paying for it. So I ordered it. It will be here Friday, then I need to activate it and register it so the coverage is in effect. I am not ordering that nice of a phone and not insuring it.

Well, haven’t had dinner yet so I will go do that now. I am wearing the French Terry Skirt and it is as long as I thought it would be and comfortable.

Not a very good day

April 6, 2008

Things going on today have left me in a bad mood. I started off with a headache I still have. I overhead some unflattering comments about me from M. The kids were fighting before M’s family got here and caused her more stress. They got in, I don’t know when, I was sulking in the basement. I didn’t get any sewing done, I wanted to but couldn’t. I made my necklace. I will take a picture of it for later. I used some leftover beads from the necklace I made for Gwen and some new beads I ordered. Right now I am watching murder by the book instead of going to bed like I should. I need to brush my teeth and go to bed, except I just heated some water to drink.

I also got my period today. So that is something else to bug me. I tried to order some contacts from 1800 contacts but the prices are wrong. I need to send them another e-mail to explain what I meant.

This is the book I just finished. I have become obsessed with reading all the books in the series.

Longevity Awards

Filed under: Health, Work
March 31, 2008

They had the Longevity Awards ceremony today, complete with cake and coffee. The coffee was really bad. I didn’t finish it. I told someone that I was still drinking it because I didn’t want to throw it in the garbage and make a mess, he said, “So just leave it somewhere, then it’s somebody else’s problem.” So that is what I did.

Bob got one of the awards, for 30 years. I don’t know the other people who got the 30 years but they were both in Division of Air. And someone wasn’t going to come because neither of the cakes were Kosher. So we had three cakes, chocolate, carrot and Kosher.

Not much else going on. M and I went to Allsport, I was a little upset because Stitch had my car when I got home and wasn’t going to be home until 8, but it worked out good because M wouldn’t have gone to Allsport if she hadn’t had to take me. Well, she didn’t have to, I didn’t make her, but she felt obligated. So we had a nice workout. I was going to dye my hair but didn’t feel like it after I got home so maybe tomorrow.

On another topic, I read an Inspector Banks novel. I like it so much, I am reading all of them, in order, you know how compulsive I am. There are only 18 to read. I am not going to reread the ones I read out of order. It is the type of series that you don’t really need to read in order, but it helps. Anyway, I am going to leave here so I can read some and maybe finish the next one. That way I will have 11 books read in March.

#69

Filed under: Family N Friends, Technology
March 29, 2008

This is my 69th post on this blog. I don’t know how many were on my other.

Today started like any other Saturday, I went to Lily’s this morning. Then came home, then I sent a text message to M asking about going to Allsport. She wasn’t sure, but then Tigger asked about taking him to Outback to meet M. I called her and she said Outback or Chili’s, so we ended up at Chili’s, Fred wanted to come. Anyway, I ate one of their new bacon cheeseburgers, sooo good, but way to much! Then we each had a sweet shot for dessert. Fred and Tigger each had a chocolate one. I had the cheesecake and M had the apple.

M took Fred home and I took Tigger to Staples so he could play with “his” new PDA. I bought some Sharpie retractable marker and hi-lighters. I missed the bank so I couldn’t cash that huge check from the insurance company. M & D were gone when we got home, I did this and that, checked my e-mail and saw that the schedule on the flight to Washington was changed and so I had to call. They had allowed us 15 minutes to change planes in Atlanta. So I called them to change it. The new time makes it easier for my parents.

Then Gwen, Tigger and me went for a walk. We ended up at the creek, then walked back home along the railroad tracks. We saw some old cars, a microwave, a TV, an air conditioner, some lawn furniture, an animal skeleton. Then Tigger wanted to keep walking until we got to Glenham. We didn’t and my legs were hurting when we got home.

Right now on the BTF thread we are having a Cyber Road Trip. I have never seen the thread this busy, everybody is getting in on it! I just posted so I have to wait for the page to load to see what other craziness is going on.

Sunday

Filed under: Health, Technology
March 9, 2008

I did not make it to the meeting. No one else was going so I didn’t get ready then they went but I was having cramps, so I didn’t go.

Last night it was very windy and we lost power about 7:45. We hardly ever lose power. When the power went out, I was on the computer and couldn’t figure out why the room was dark but the computer was on! OK so I had a brain freeze moment. M lit all her candles and everyone was carrying around their flashlights. I ended up going to bed at 9:00, Stitch was reading The Jungle Book, the original not the Disney version, by candlelight.

New Kitty

Filed under: Animals, Emotions, Family N Friends
March 3, 2008

Well, the kitty’s name is now Abby. She is really a nice cat. She stayed in all day yesterday and last night and seems perfectly content. She used the litter box M got for her. Stitch said she kept him up with her purring, then when she started to cry he petted her and Sassy hit him in the head. Tigger sent me a text when I was on the train that she almost woke D up. Then he says ‘not good’. It will be next.

“abby almost woke up daddy
not good”

I have been putting in Pepsi points. M has been giving them to me. She has been asking for the Rainbow song. Some group has redone, “Over the Rainbow” a group called The Hawaiian Rainbow Singers. Anyway, I downloaded it last night. She doesn’t have an MP3 player right now, so I put it on her phone for her. It sounds better on her phone than mine. Anyway, I think that is all I have to say for now. Except I am mad at the Booktalk posters.

molly

Filed under: Animals, Family N Friends
March 1, 2008

This pretty tabby cat has been hanging around our basement door and meowing and trying to get in our house. It is a new cat, not one of the usual strays. It is also an indoor cat and I have no idea why it is outside. Anyway the kids want to adopt her and call her Molly, but I am leery because she is a strange cat, although very clean looking and friendly as can be. She could have worms or she might have been put out of her owners house cause she was peeing all over we just don’t know.

M said she is going to put ads in the paper to try to find her owner. She is a real sweet girl. She has been inside, but M won’t let her stay in at night. Today she bought a litter box for her, but is still saying she hasn’t decided if she is staying.

Tre now has my number

Filed under: Family N Friends
February 23, 2008

Tigger said he prefers texting to Tre because I am boring. Everyone in the family agreed with him. D said people who haven’t met me don’t think I’m boring, I sent Tigger a text that said “Drill bit is my new name.” I guess that is why Tigger asked Tre if I am boring. Tre says how can I know, I don’t know her. So Tigger gives him my phone number. Then he sends me a text, “Hi Im Tre.” So I show it to M. She sends Tre a text message, he sends one back, she asks Tigger, “What does this mean in English?” Tigger says “Laughing my butt off.” He asks her, “What did you say?” She replies, “I told him you were crazy.”

So I never did reply to Tre. I am thinking about sending him a reply, “Hi, I’m Drill Bit.” I think I will wait and see if he sends me another text message.

I took this picture with my cell phone yesterday. I got this sweater from Macy’s on clearance sale.

We used too much chocolate in the cocoa yesterday. M and I put fat free half and half in ours. The kids drank theirs straight. Even Gwen who says she doesn’t like chocolate.

Oh and I downloaded the add-on to make tinyurls. It is pretty fun.

Why?

Filed under: Miscellanea, Weather, Work
February 22, 2008

So why did I come to work today? Am I crazy or just plain stupid? I wonder how bad the roads are at home, the snow here is just falling and falling like it is never going to stop. I don’t know if I should go home early or not.

I know why I came into work, I just couldn’t stand the thought of staying home and doing nothing, which is what would have happened. So I left and came into work. Now when I get home, I will probably get stuck in the yard, like always. I wonder if there is a way I can get in and not get stuck?

Home now, I couldn’t find Amita in the parking lot. Little car was hiding from me. I did not get stuck in the yard this time, YAY for me. I am waiting for Tigger and D to get done shoveling snow so I can make hot cocoa for them. Actually, M measured out the chocolate, it just has to be put in the machine and heated.
