Happy Easter

I hope everyone had a happy Easter. We had a great time visiting with friends and family. We had ham, it was sunny, church was good. It was nice to be home. Some of our friends and family were away so we hope to catch up with them sometime soon....

It was a nice sunny day, but still so cold since it's still March. I can't wait until it's at least 40 when I wake up.

Another week of work. Woo hoo.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I get a lot of junk emails (mostly my own fault signing up for every email newsletter under the sun). One of them is a page a day calendar. The other day it said this:

Being grateful and thankful is contagious. Today, how about letting three people know that you are grateful they are in your life?

I thought it was a good Thanksgiving idea that can be used every day.

Who are you thankful for?

Happy Halloween!

Halloween is not a big holiday with us. Mostly because it is too expensive to get dressed up and get out somewhere, but also because we only know one child under the age of 10. For the past few years we have lived in areas where not that many kids lived so I never had to worry about getting candy. This year is slightly different - we have a separate entrance to our place and a lot of kids live in the area. I hope I got enough candy!

Happy 4th!

Happy 4th everyone! I hope you all have fun BBQs and rain-free fireworks.

I have been at work all day since I am taking Friday off and one of the perks of my job is that it is quite flexible when it comes to switching holidays. So along with a couple other people who did the same thing as me, I have been actually working a bit. But, I also brought in my computer so that I can finish uploading my CD collection. As some of you know, this is quite a daunting task for me as I have over 300 CDs. I am pretty sure this is the last book I have to do. Currently, I have 12.3 days worth of music. This is a pretty fun task for me actually because I am reminded of how much awesome (and not so awesome) music I have and I can actually listen to it. Today I have listened to a few Grateful Dead albums, a Heart Greatest Hits, and now I am on to "Dreamland" by Robert Plant. Good stuff. Now all I need is a new computer so I don't have the annoying dying fan sound in the background as I am listening to all my new found music!

Plus, the Red Sox won today! Yeah!

Happy Snowy Valentine's Day!

I hope everyone is having a nice day. I have been stuck in my freezing cold cottage since about 2 working from home since the weather SUCKS right now. It's not even really snowing, it's more sleet/ice/wintry mix (whatever that is) so the accumulation is low and the possibility of having fun snowshoeing or XC skiing in this stuff is also low. I hope everyone who went inland or to the mountains is having actual snow.

Working from home is WAY worse than working at the office. There are so many things I would rather be doing and they are all within reach, but I can't do them because then I would have to take a vacation day. Besides, my hubby is working too and the TV would bother him too much. I think I might have to take control back though within the hour since it is already after leaving time.

Sorry this is such a complaint-ridden post, but I hope you can understand why.

Happy VD! (Ha ha - I just love saying that!)
