life keeps chugging

it's Thursday. This week, as i said before, has moved very slowly. not for lack of work or anything to do, but just because I am used to the more restful life of vacation.


I was just saying at lunch that I am waiting for my house and millions to come from some unknown relative. I then said it must be from my dad's family since I know all of my mom's. Malesa, you just let me know when that ship comes, ok?

I was supposed to start my fitness and eating healthy campaign this week (thanks Malesa for the fish recipe it was very good). it sorta has worked, but I think that my spin instructor put it best on Tuesday "we over estimate how many calories we burn and we underestimate the amount we eat." so last night, i through my hands in the air skipped any work out and made a huge batch of mac n cheese.

After we had finished eating and Bill was working, we flipped to one of the HBO channels to find that the golden compass was just starting. Meaning to see it in the theaters, but never making it, we decided to invest the time until midnight watching it. I really enjoyed the movie and wish that they would make the next in the book's series. Maybe I'll just get the books from the library.

This weekend, I don't know what we will be up to other than Bill having a dentist appointment on Saturday morning. Maybe we can get the basement the rest of the way done, but more likely we will just try to stay warm as it is supposed to get deadly gold in the upcoming week.

long long week

it is always hard that first week back to work after all the holidays. I haven't worked a full week in a while, and today, Tuesday, it's already starting to smart.

see post below

friday or monday

Like I said yesterday I kept thinking it was Sunday yesterday so I have been caught off guard twice now thinking it was Monday. The good news is the weekend is closer than I would think (Caution: Objects in mirror are closer than they appear)

Something that I find amusing when walking around on a sunny winter day like today is the Ice falling signs. Not that ice falling is amusing (it's quite leathal acutaly), but the wording/ images on the signs always make me snicker. I will try to get a picture of my favorite one, which is an image of a man with a frown face, hand over head and an icicle smashing his hands. There is another sign not ten feet away from another place of business that is so wordy I can never finish reading it before passing it by.

I hope to get motivated this weekend and really get my house looking good. You know you have lived in construction/ chaos for too long when your younger brother comments on the general disaster that you house has been in for the last year.

Happy New Year

Bill, Brian and I had a lovely new years eve last night, toasting and counting down for both the "real" EST new year and the silly central time new year.

Today, Bill got mario kart for the wii, which resulted in the three of us playing this afternoon and Bill and I playing tonight.

It's weird to have a holiday in the middle of the week, so today feels like a Sunday. (And since you are supposed to go to Church, I guess it is like a Sunday).

I am trying to waste some time online right now waiting for my Christmas photos to load on snapfish. Usually, I can amuse myself pretty easily, but today I just want to get offline and go to bed. Oh well, maybe I'll just sit back and listen to my ABBA, which is playing right now.
