"The life you are meant to find will wring your heart to the point of breaking and then douse you with buckets of joy when you're not looking." - Linford Deweiler
Holy shit. I can't *wait* for that to happen....

freakin' moron...
Guess who realized the living room window has been open? That would be me. It's 12 degrees out and I've been wondering why it's been so chilly in the house like an asshole. Seriously, sometimes I shouldn't be in charge of a string of lights, nevermind a life. Moron.
Yesterday was an ok day - got a lot of work done, had lunch with a friend, only had a couple of meetings - nothing spectacular or horrifying - good deal. I left work real late as I had to make up time for the 45 minutes I sat on Rt 3 in the AM. That was fun. Maybe next time I'll get a colonoscopy instead.
Hmmm...maybe this not-smoking thing isn't going as well as I think. I appear to be a little on the cynical side today....
Anyway, I got home late and dug into homework like a good girl. I didn't even turn on the TV! I spent 5 hours getting everything done, then took an online quiz 6 times trying to get the best score. By 12:30 my eyes were about glued shut. This week, I won't spend more time celebrating my birthday than anything else. Although work looks like it's gearing up to kick me in the ass soon so I might want to pre-plan for that. I dunno. Probably not. Who the hell cares?
I think the quitting-smoking thing has affected that little switch in my head that says "It may not be in your best interest to curse like a truck driver right now..." I've had to backtrack and erase 11 f-bombs. Wait. It's my blog. I can do what I want! AND I quit smoking so a certain amount of craziness is absolutely understandable! Heh.
Ok you little kiddies, I've just justified cursing in my blog to myself so no-holds-barred from now on. If you're sensitive about that stuff, you may want to unsubscribe. >: p
Fuck this. I have to get to work.

another day...
Of course I'm all screwed up and have no idea what day it is. I love 4 day weeks but man do they screw with my sense of time.
Yesterday was a productive day - not. I meant to focus on this one particular project I'm working on but forgot that my professional & development goals were due for this year. Heck it's only the 2nd quarter, why the rush? :-p Anyway, I spent all day writing lots of bullshit for the major projects I've been assigned for the year. And y'all know how much I like that crap. Ugh.
Anyway, I got them done and left work to let the kids out before heading out to meet my family at the Border Cafe for dinner. Traffic wasn't the greatest and it was snowing. That put me about 1/2 hour late. So I drove like a maniac to the restaurant where we all had a bunch of laughs. :) I love my birthday, but I'm about done with celebrating it. :)
The quitting smoking thing is going exceptionally well. I'm actually kinda scared at just how well it's going to tell you the truth. I'm waiting for the big relapse moment or something. I haven't been overly cranky or bitchy but I have been pretty dizzy. Clearly my body isn't used to getting this much oxygen! But, I'm also using the patch when it starts to get bad so that helps. I just have to cut back on the nights of drinking and debauchery as those *really* don't help!
On the home front, the desk is a sheet of freakin' ice with this cold rainy/snowy weather. I had to take the trash out this morning and you would've thought bigfoot was doing it I was so bundled up. It's 6 freakin' degrees out! I guess it's back to letting the car warm up every morning. The dogs aren't happy with the ice thing and nothing I've put down has helped. I will admit that it's kinda funny to watch them try and gingerly walk out there - they're so much like cartoon characters with their feet going sideways and not getting anywhere. :)
And I *still* need to take the freakin' christmas tree down! :-P
Off to work...

recovered....kinda
Hmmmm...where to start.
Let's see. Friday I learned that my friend Mario works (literally) around the corner from me. So we met up at the Naked Fish after work to have a beer. I think I got home around 11 or 12. :) His boss, Pete, was there and we ended up talking the night away. It helped that Pete was shitfaced and a freakin' riot! I have a picture of Pete with a pirate patch on holding a sheep toy. Don't ask. You *really* had to be there!
Saturday I picked up a bit, which wasn't much since Silvane was there on Thursday. My Dad, Betsy, Kim, Cathy, & Mario met at my house before heading over to the restaurant. My brother, his girlfriend, Glen, Elissa, & Zeke met us there. It was a great time, with lots of food, lots of drinks, and lots of laughs. :)
Afterwards, Kim, Cathy, Mario, & I came back to the house and had a bonfire in the firepit. I neglected to mention that we first stopped at the NH State Liquor store and picked up a few things, some plum wine, sake, and blueberry wine. Because I shared those 3 bottles with Mario, I can really only tell you what happened at the beginning of the night. :-p
All I really remember is a nice big fire, a full glass, and lots of talking. :) After that, who knows. According to Kim, I was walking into walls, giving her a look like it was her fault, and saying "That is why I don't drink wine!" Well, it really is why but I'm pretty sure she didn't deserve the look. ;) So Kim, Thank You for taking care of my drunken ass. I have your Xmas gift on order again. :) LOL Sorry about that...(I think - can't quite remember!!)
I vaguely remember puking my guts out and thinking that plum wine is a pretty color against a white background. *That* is why I don't drink wine! Anyway, I woke up at 5am on the couch and stumbled into bed for another 3 or 4 hours. Boy do I wish I could remember the other half of the night though.... According to Kim & Cathy, it was pretty fun!
Needless to say, I spent the next day recovering. :) I did some homework, took a nap, and watched the game. I don't think I did much of anything else. :) Oh wait, I redesigned my site! When I was looking for dragonfly pictures for my next tattoo (they're quite addictive!), I found the dragonfly graphic that I incorporated into the header. I just love it. :)
Today I cleaned up a bit - there were lots of little sticky spots all over the place. I'm very sure that it was me sloshing my drink all over the place. I can't remember doing that, but I wouldn't put it past me. :) I watched TV, did some more homework, and spent a lot of time with the pups. :)
This week is fairly quiet. I have dinner plans with my immediate family tomorrow night. I think that's it tho'. Cathy & I might go to Mario's show Saturday, but that's about it.
Overall it was a very good birthday! I just wish I could remember more of it!!
And *that* is why I don't drink wine! (the new saying for the year :-p )

Happy Birthday to me
I'm gonna play that Beatles song all day. :)
I got a call from my very, very good friend Mag this morning wishing me a happy birthday. Since she lives in Australia, it makes it extra special. :) She's coming to visit in February, which is so way cool! I haven't seen her in about 5 years or so. I can't freakin' wait!! I'm not sure she's going to love being at a flyball tourney for a day though. ;)
Today should be a pretty good day. :) I don't think I have anything huge planned - most of the birthday stuff is going on this weekend. :) That's what happens when you get older! No more spur of the moment, up until 4am crazy nights out. ;) Ah well - the creator knows I've had enough of those nights in my life. ;)
I had an observation yesterday and thought it was actually pretty cool, but I forgot what it was. I'll have to make a point of writing it down when I think of it next time. ;)
They say it's your birthday!! It's my birthday too yeah!
