tonight is my first night back after 11 days off. yep E-LEV-EN days off. it was delicious. thanksforasking. ;-)

i went to mom and dads to see my mom and annoy my dad. (mission accomplished) went to my brothers' graduation (he now has a bachelors in nursing. yay! and new camera took a mini movie of him getting on stage. it was really slick and well worth the money spent). then i used the rest of my time off being annoyed at Charter internet tech support.

for my tax refund i decided to pay bills, save some and then spend 100 or less on a new camera. for our "economic stimulus" doodad thingy i figured... if, IF i can find a new computer for less than 500 (just the cpu, mind you) that runs WinXP, it's MINE.

most of the rest of my vacation was spent trying to get new bessie hooked up to the internets. apparently when i bought my own modem FOUR YEARS AGO, charter fucked up and never changed my ip addy. so i ended up with NO INTERNET for over 24 hrs. yeah, it's no big deal at mom and dads 'cause there were plenty of other things to do. but at home? i'm just now getting over the nightmares. i had to go through THREE tech guys the first night and ONE woman the next day to get my internet working.

what does that tell me? it takes 3 men to do the work of 1 woman. ;-)

anyway... new bessie is an Emachine with 2GB processor, 1GB RAM and 130? 150? GB hard drive. since i already have a 350GB external HD that's a moot point. but most everything is working just swimmingly. i haven't added MS office 2003 yet and i'm wondering if i really want to. *shrug* i'll add it if i have to, but i just don't see the point right now. Open Office works just as well and the price is right. heh, on the other hand, MS office is already bought and paid for so... i guess i'll flip a quarter.

what else? i got hooked on crocheting again thanks to [info]littlecurvieme and Ravelry.com. seriously? that website ROCKS! tons of free patterns and ... and STUFF! it's for knitters and crocheters and is *well* worth the wait to get in. it only took about a week or two to get my invite. but ... it's just cool. as much as i like Craftster.org, this just blows it out of the water.

well, that's about it for me right now, i have to get back to work.

if anyone can come up with a new name for the new bessie, let me know. i'm leaning towards Gert or Vyqlet. (that's pronounced "vi-let". the Q is silent 'cause we're sooooo 2008.)

so i had last saturday off and it was in the 30's for temp. when i got home from work i had no heat. it was 51 degrees. and... AND i had no internet. which one do you think pissed me off more?

right.

the internets.

anyway... 298 dollars later, the nice furnace guy fixed me up with Heat! Glorious Heat! and promptly forgot his toolbox.

so we ended up playing phone tag on sunday until he knocked on my door at 3pm to wake me up and get his tools.

got up about 7ish pm to go to work and ... my coffee pot died.

my vacation is just not coming soon enough. :-/

so far, i'm *really* impressed with the quality of pics & features vs. price. unfortunately, i can't get a picture of Precious without her a) glomming onto me so my leg, arm, whatever is in the shot, or b) moving at the wrong moment so it's all blurry. grrrr!!

so, i give you... lilacs!

*pause*

i apologize in advance. oh yes. we'll be having Pictures o' the Precious and ... AND lilac buds. 'cause the buds are on the lilac bushes. that means it's SPRING. FINALLY. w00t!

no, seriously.

with the exception of Binah's stroke, i decided to just go back to january 1st and catch up from there. i think if i tried to go back further, i'd sprain something.

and i need new icons. something fun and frivolous. and dorky.

once i figure out how to do the lists thing, i'll probably post more about work. or maybe not. the things i'd love to natter about are just NOT repeatable in polite company.

gotta go!

thanks everyone for your comments. i'm going to try and get back in the swing of writing (and reading!) some every day so i can catch up.

*waves*

this was SUPPOSED to be my night off, but here i am at work. two sick calls last night so.... *shrug* i could use the money. more later tonight (i hope!).

i changed the theme layout and colo(u)rs a bit. the blue can be a bit scary at first, but i kinda like it.

they un-banned lj at work so... here i am. also, i have a couple friends from work who also do the lj thang so i figured... wtf?

how do i condense a year into a few paragraphs? heh, it's easy when you don't have a life so... there ya go!

hospitalized x2 for (an alleged) heart blockage. turns out it was a shadow or something on the xray and i DON'T have a blockage after all. so the chest pain is from something else that is unknown at this time.

my mom had a tia (mini-stroke) but is ok. dad is... well, they're both 73 y/o and dad is just ... squirrely. he forgets stuff, but it's not alzheimers or anything. he's always been a bit off when it comes to remember certain things. but now that he's not working, its MUCH more noticeable.

yeah, my spelling sucks right now. but i'm trying to type between calls.

anyway... my hands still suck. but seem ok right now.

ye ol' gold metro is gone. i bought a new car (go me!). it's a 2007 Chevy Aveo. it's eeyore blue and has cruise control, a/c that actually WORKS, mp3 cd player, tilty steering wheel and other stuff. but i'm VERY happy with it. if i could wrap my arms around it i'd hug the silly thing. i do adore this car.

i let all of my old websites go. i just didn't update Poor Sue like i wanted to and i just can't seem to find the a) time or b) ambition to update them. i did keep dames.org but ... we'll see. i'm trying to consolidate and simplify my life. (yeah, yeah, i know. good luck with that, deb!)

gotta go, we're getting busy. i'll try to update some more tonight. :-)

What color is your soul painted?

Black

Your soul is painted the color black, which embodies the characteristics of modernity, formality, power, sophistication, elegance, wealth, mystery, style, anger, sadness, remorse, rebellion, loss, discord, confusion, and absorbing negativity. Black falls under the element of Earth, and symbolizes outer space and the universe, and in some cultures black represents fertility and wisdom.

i literally Laughed Out Loud at this:

Unless the Men's Room Was Cold



Gay #1: Ok, so read their body language and tell me if you think they are: 1) on a first date, but may go ahead and fuck tonight; 2) they are on maybe their third or fourth date, but have definitely had each other's cock in their throats by now; or 3) they are full-on dating and fucking.
Gay #2: They're on their first date. They're way too into each other to already be dating.
Gay #1: Nice.
Both at the same time: Who do you think is the top?
Gay #2: Who do you think?
Gay #1: Well, just because white shirt is so hot, I'd want him to be the top. But, as you know, "Man of Steel, Heels of Helium."
Gay #2: I know... Plus, the other one has to be the top. A bottom would never wear a plaid shirt.

stolen from [info]nobleplatypus (because i thought this was cool beans):

You take the five books nearest you, and use the following sentences to make a passage:

Book 1 - 1st sentence
Book 2 - last sentence, page 50
Book 3 - 2nd sentence, page 100
Book 4 - next to last sentence, page 150
Book 5 - final sentence

Septetmber 21, 1986, was a warm and beautiful Sunday in Portland --- in the whole state of Oregon, for that matter. "Mr. Seven, sometime today!" the man bellowed in an English accent. We had been together for three years -- it's not like I'm suddenly not going to care about him or his cats (who are adorable). What if the director spotted a natural star amid the kitchen magnets and poster art? Above the village rose the spire, and on that height of heights, St. Margaret and St. Michael stood back to back, ready for new battles.

Book 1: Dead by Sunset by Ann Rule
Book 2: The Sisters Grimm by Michael Buckley
Book 3: he's just not that into you by greg behrendt & liz tuccillo
Book 4: Marley & Me by john grogan
Book 5: A College of Magics by Caroline Stevermer

of those 5, i've only finished #4. i'm i 1/4 of the way into #1, over half-way through #3 and numbers 2 & 5 are in my "To Read" pile next to the computer desk.

i think this would be much more entertaining with a different set of books. *shrug* but it still amused me today.
