Seriously? It's been since April?
|
I can't believe how seldom I think about this blog. I usually don't use it for anything except looking for old photos or just the fun of rereading about old friends.
Life is so busy nowadays that, though there's plenty to write about, I never have the time to do it. Facebook has made it so easy to sum up my thoughts in 100 characters or less via status updates.
Kind of depressing. I mean think about it. My last year can be summed up in an awful small amount of words.
Leslie Thompson Boston: (January)
just finished shoveling snow from the side walk and porch.
so we’re up to like ten inches or something. getting tried of constant snowfall. it’d be better if it would just fall and stop, so we could plow out once and for all.
it’s STILL SNOWING!! you southern girls who want it can come get it. just load up a big truck and take all you want okay?
is surrounded by hot tea, tissue boxes (with lotion!) and Sudafed. I hate being sick!!
is feeling a little better today. Seems like it’s worse at night when you’re tired. Suppose sleep might be important? :P
has been typing recipe cards all morning… and she’s only about 1/3 done! 8-
is on the last day or so of being sick, but now her poor sweetie has gotten it too.
will never see another dentist who specializes in TMJ disorder.
has pets too!
is listening to the sound of her husband’s hammer as he builds a sewing table.
is not looking forward to doing laundry today. :P
had pizza for dinner, since her husband was craving it, for the THIRD night in a row.
The sun is always shining. Sometimes you can’t see it through the clouds but it’s still there, bright as ever.
at home today, without much on her list of things to do.
made banana bread. Now her house smells yummy.
is bored.
is killing time at the airport.
switched her switch and now she has internet again! :-D
saw Airforce One today at the Cleveland Airport! (though I expected it to look kinda cooler…?)
is going to add the Farmville application just for the sheer entertainment value of deleting it from my list of apps. :P
Thanks to Tyler, Sam, Dan & Matt for helping to carry our furniture in such cold weather! Thanks so much guys!!
thinks it’s so cold outside, even the teens at the mall must be pulling their pants up!
when you’re driving at night in the snow, do you ever pretend you’re piloting the Falcon? “Hyperdrive’s back online!”
has never been this excited about washing dishes! But she’s happy to have her own cabinet to store her pretty china, from the large elegant platter and the shiny crystal glasses down to the fat little sugar bowl.
is psyched that Joann’s decorator fabrics are still on sale for 50% off! and she’s got a 10% off coupon too!
“The publican’s nemesis is not the Pharisee beside him who condemns him, but the Pharisee within him that exalts him in his own eyes.” – Keven Brownfield
just finished the second movie of the evening, and her sweetie is still wrapping up homework. These late nights are getting to be habitual.
misses ice skating on the river.
(February)
HAPPY GROUNDHOGGIES DAY TO THE WORLD!!! (especially those who actually know Phil, the famous groundhog living in Punxy, PA)
wonders why they call it H1N1? maybe it’s related to R2D2?
nearly locked herself out of the house, and practically froze to death without shoes! (I find though, that if you pulled hard enough, all doors open to you.)
just finished season eight of SG-1. And now she is sad.
is sending complaints to facebook.
is watching the snow fall somewhat too quickly to not make her suspect freezing rain.
is tired and wants a nap.
is watching her honey shovel a mountain of snow! I think we need a bigger shovel that we could just push down the driveway and out to the street. while it seems pointless to wish for a snowplow, maybe then our street would be cleared.
loves the neighbor’s snowman! So awesome!
is finished cleaning up after the party last night. Can’t believe how many people showed up! 30 I think was the most at one time.
is looking forward to a movie date with Becky!
is hooked on amigurumi (no pun intended).
realized today that it was the first time she’d gone to a movie theater without a family member or Jon (and yes, Jon is family now, but he wasn’t always.)
just finished making chocolate covered strawberries and now she’s attacking the leftovers!! :D
has a clean freezer.
was sorely disappointed at the 3D movie last night. They don’t give out red and blue paper glasses anymore! The movie was good, but I really wanted to wear the red and blue. How sad!
wishes Facebook would stop making unnecessary changes that drive you up the wall and change things that really need sorting out!!!
wants out of the house!
so Jon says to me yesterday that he wants to put shelves in the closet downstairs. X-D
has a pretty dress to wear to the Fusion dinner! :D and she’s excited that she made it fit!!!!

is supervising the hanging of pictures on the walls.
is receiving guests into a freshly cleaned place. *happiness*

just looked at a weather map and realized how close we are to the Indy border. Wow.
is working on various projects. Wishing any one of them would show some progress.
is making oatmeal scotchies!!!
hates when a recipe says “Yield 4 dozen” and you really have to make a double-batch to get 47 cookies. They must not mean normal sized cookies.
Yesterday (Feb 24th) was National Inconvenience Yourself Day. Just glad I missed it.
is using craigslist to sell something for the first time. (It’s kinda cool how easy it is.)

is bummed that the Blue Angels are doing their airshow the one week I’m not going to be here. :P

Look at your status… Now back to mine… Now back to yours… Now back to mine. Sadly, your status isn’t mine. But if you stopped posting about other things and made this your status, yours could be mine. Look down, now back up. Where are you? You’re on Facebook… reading the status that your status could be like.
Day 6 of 10: still battling the seeming endless army of houseflies. getting better at hand-to-hand. methods of mass destruction still elude me.

It recently became apparent to me that the letters T and G are far too close together on a keyboard. This is why I’ll never be ending an email with the phrase “Regards” again.
Top Tip of the Week: When going through airport customs and you are asked “do you have any firearms with you?” do not reply “what do you need?”

Dan Gallagher: “Home is where your story begins”? What happens when you move?

I begin to be exasperrated by the so-called "professionals" who rate this "based on" the "public opinion." I read an article on the "top-rated" Pixar film and disagreed so much, I had to know if the public really thinks like them, or like me. (I mean, I'm part of the viewing public, right?)
So here it is, the question...

It's That Kind of Day
|
I've been enjoying some majorly amazing weather this week. Jon and I wake up hearing the same birds we have been all winter (since none have migrated back yet), but they all are using their spring voices, flirting with each other in the early morning treetops. The mourning doves were cooing at me this morning on my way to the garage.
It was great to go outside without a coat, just long sleeves. The sun is painting the clouds white on top, while beneath they retain they're bluish hue from the recent rain. Little girls are rolling skating in the road, and their laughter and teasing drifts through the open windows on a breeze that caresses the light curtains in the living room.
It's the kind of day that's still kind of cold, but you don't want to close the sash. You'd rather put on a jacket and warm socks and feel your nose turn red from the chill as the sun goes down.
It's the kind of day that gets you thinking about buying hamburgers and hot dogs for a barbeque next weekend, and makes you pray the weather will hold that long.
It's the kind of day that everyone loves. The kind of day that says spring is just around the corner.
Cross your fingers---it may be right. :) |

Billboards
|
I've decided that my blog-life as become like a billboard. Like how you're driving past and only subconciously notice them, to have them disappear from memory until you pass that way again.
Drive-by blog posts. That's me.
Well anway it doesn't matter. I only post when I want to and I don't think anyone really reads the blog anymore to notice my billboards when I do put them up. :) |

Wow so hmm,...
|
Looks like I've been neglecting to update my blog for many a moon. Oh well. Anybody who knows me knows why.
I've been busy. I met a guy, you know? and you know how monopolizing that can be of one's time. But I married him, so what can you expect?
So since I married, I also changed name, location, and job titles. I think I like being "wife" to being "accountant" any day. :D
But I probably won't be any better about blogging. Facebook has conquered the cyberworld, and frankly, I'm none too put out about it. Honestly, is there anyone who doesn't have it? |

THEY'RE KILLING ME!!!
|
Can we get any "less uneducated"??
Check out this audio clip from the Howard Stern show. The interviewers surveyed people on the streets of Harlem about their support for Obama, attributing all of McCain's policies to Obama.
And no one even noticed!!! |

Proud to be Part of Our Team
|
The following photo links were sent to me by the manager where I work, exemplifying the newly implemented safety gear and equipment for the laborers. They show off a number of innovative efforts by associations, labor groups, and contractors, doing just what the experts recommend: identifying hazards and developing focused solutions that prevent injuries, and boost the desirability of construction employment. It fills me with confidence to know that our employer shows genuine concern for the physical safety of his company workers.
Truly our society is moving forward in the field of safety innovation.
Sometimes the delivery drivers park a little far from the loading dock and our guys have had to stretch precariously across the divide. This piece of equipment is designed to bridge the gap without endangering the men to a fall.
In response to a recent accident involving a fallen garage door, several safety helmets were purchased to protect the warehouse workers.
Rather than the clumsy, old-fashioned goggles widely in use at this time, our workers have the advantage of full face protection when sawing through the hoses with a metal helix.
One piece of safety gear that we considered, but unfortunately have no use for, is the welding mask. I was personally impressed with the use of fire resistant material, combined with the extra eye protection.
Doesn’t it make you proud of where you work? :) |

The power went out at work today.
I happened to be at the counter by the front door, so I could still see. But I knew that in the warehouse there’s no light. As soon as it went out, I could hear “Ohhh!” all over the building. :)
…then “Junior!!”
… “What?! The power goes out and it’s my fault??”
For about a minute, you could hear the conversation being yelled back and forth across the warehouse.
I’ve never been anywhere but the office when the power’s failed before. ‘Twas a new experience. |

Hey Darlin! How are you?? It's me, your Ga Peach Brittany. I miss you. I am way happy to find your blog again. I have been thinking alot about you and have been praying for you lately. I have a blog that Moma and Sami post on also, so it's like a family blog. There are pictures up there too. So come and see it!
