Fly!

When you know your gonna get wet - spread your arms and scream!

This week I have felt like the cat - out of control and flying.

Utterly Witless I am!

If I should blog everyday or two, do I have to be witty? Today I am completely witless! Currently, I have more work due than I can complete and I am getting quite spastic at work. This week my boss and I keep getting the giggles when we met probably because we both are running on fumes.

Between the annual report, the free ad that had to be designed without any notice, to the videos I need to pull of the web, I am slipping into delirium quickly....I think I like delirium.

Enough for now - need sleep!

I don't like Thomas Hardy

I watched Tess of the d’Urbervilles on PBS tonight and bawled! I don't think I would be able to read Thomas Hardy. I know, I know, always read the book first then watch the movie. But the way this one ends, well lets just say that Thomas Hardy is no Jane Austen. Mr. Darcy came through for Lizzy. Mr. Ferras once released from obligation ran back to the woman he loved, Miss Elinor Dashwood. Jane makes you cry because it all comes out right.......Hardy makes you cry because it does not!!!

Enough now...

This Was a Good Day

I got to work with way too much to do and what happens? The power goes out. After speaking with the power company the director sent us home since it would be hours before power was restored.

So off to get my haircut early - maybe Matthew can get me in early - nopey! Matthew wasn't there, so I waited 20 minutes for him to arrive and clean up my look. This time I had wild Texas socialite big hair going on - short natural curly hair can get out of hand in a matter of days! Anyway, I look good now.

Then I darted to Wal-Mart to buy birthday presents for a couple of co-workers who's birthdays are tomorrow, just like ME! We have a little Jan 9 club going on. Then home.

Here I sit blogging at 5:51 p.m. when I normally would be driving home. This was a good day!

Tuesday? Not that bad of a day either. Try not to laugh, mom discovered a cash ticket from our Saturday trip to casino on Tuesday morning. It was a $100.10 ticket. So dad and I had to drive to Shawnee Tuesday night to cash it before it expired. Mom was sick and couldn't go. So we got to the casino and cash the ticket. Then Dad gave me a $20 and he took a $20 - off to the land of slots. By 7 pm we where headed home with $120 in dad's pocket. Mom is still irritated that she did that, Dad and I had fun for about an hour!

Enough for now...

Thank You Weatherman!

Weren't we supposed to have 60 degree weather today? That's why I didn't wear a jacket to work nor did I wear a bulky sweater - 60 DEGREES does not warrant heavy clothes. I dressed accordingly and was cold all freaking day long! What is the deal with this weather anyway?

In truth, I got what I deserved today. It is January 2nd in Oklahoma and I should have known better than to believe that kind of weather report!

Enough for now...

2009 what will it hold?

I am amazed at how fast the year flies. This last year work was good. I received a promotion and have been given new duties that are challenging and fun. I finally settled in where I no longer am a nervous wreck just driving to work and that feels good.

On the home front, my house has been completely renovated and there are no more projects to do. I really don't know how I feel about that - I like remodeling. I have threatened to sell the house and buy another just to have projects again.

Baby is good. I put him on a diet and he has managed to lose from 38lb chunky monkey to a trim 34.4 not so chunky. He should be about 30lbs so he has some more to lose. A couple of weeks ago, Winston had a seizure which absolutely scared me to death. It wasn't a grand mal like my Dalmatian, Henri, would have but just a little one. Right now the plan of action is to just monitor him. I hope that is the last seizure he has.

My news resolution is to blog a little more regularly. I have got out of the habit of writing my thoughts mainly because I am so wiped out from my computer duties at work and the last thing I have wanted was to log on once home. But this year hopefully will be different. For the two or three people who may read this blog you will [hopefully] be treated to my mental ramblings more often.

Enough for now...the couch calls!
