The Word HOME Never Sounded So Sweet.
2008-05-18 05:32:00 It’s been a long time since I’ve ever been THIS happy to be home from vacation. Granted, I’m certainly not looking forward to going into work on Monday morning, but it’s so nice to be back in our own apartment. Even if we are tripping over bags, cats, HDMI cables, computer equipment, and ... More About: Word , Home , Sweet , Weekenders
Missing Home.
2008-05-17 18:04:00 Hubby and I are headed home from my parents’ house today. What a waste of vacation time. It’s been nice staying at my parents’ house, but Tuesday through Thursday morning REALLY sucked. I honestly just want to forget that we’d ever gone upstate in the first place. *sigh* At least we still both have tomorrow ... More About: Home , Missing , Weekenders

There?s No Place Like Home.
2008-05-15 22:37:00 We’re home. Well, not HOME home, but back at my parents’ house. We cut the trip short and left a day early. In fact, we were ready to turn around and come back home the minute we walked into where we were staying. I have so much stuff to catch up on that I want to scream. ... More About: Home , Place
Are We There Yet?
2008-05-13 15:36:00 I can honestly say that so far, our vacation is TEH SUCK. Thank you, Murphy and your damn laws. I had a feeling it was going to be a bad day when I woke up at 8 AM with a BLINDING headache. I actually had to go back to bed for a little while, ...
A Busy Little Bee.
2008-05-12 01:20:00 I have been a very productive girl today. I HAVE FINALLY TAKEN CONTROL OF MY INBOX AGAIN. *huff* To say my inbox was out of control is a bit of an understatement. I have well over a hundred different sub-folders in my inbox, and they weren’t TOO bad, but the inbox itself was a complete wreck. ... More About: The Boy , Weekenders , Busy
Full Of Fail.
2008-05-11 07:15:00 Have you ever felt that no matter what you do, all you’re basically doing is just banging your head against the wood shutters on the outside of your house? Maybe slamming your head against a brick wall might work a little better…? Tonight was one of those nights. We had Tier 2 8 ball finals tonight. ... More About: Full , Pool , Weekenders
Everybody Loves A Geek Girl.
2008-05-10 04:27:00 I am flush with so much extra computer equipment now, it’s not even funny. And everything is unusable in both of our new computers. From the fabulous video cards that we had in both of our custom-built machines, to extra sticks of memory…there are parts and computer shells scattered all throughout the apartment. Luckily, ...

Counting Down The Days.
2008-05-08 03:09:00 I am counting down the working days until vacation. Now, we’re not going on one of those luxury vacations, mind you…it’s nothing more than my parents, my husband and I heading off into the woods of Pennsylvania for some rest and relaxation. And right now, I CAN NOT WAIT. Work has slowed to a crawl. ... More About: Days , Counting
Permanent Brain Fart.
2008-05-07 17:04:00 Holy Jesus, is my brain failing. Something very weird is going on. I got home from work last night and tossed my leftovers from lunch into the fridge. When I went to go to bed, I couldn’t find the faceplate to my radio or my iPod. I frantically sent hubby out to my ... More About: Work , Brain , Fart , Permanent
Stylish Design.
2008-05-06 19:23:00 I spend a lot of time wandering around the internet, searching out sites that have tons of tips on such things as web design, Adwords optimization, SEO, CSS tips and tricks…you name it.

2008-05-06 17:41:00 Yes, Jillian, there will be pics of the aforementioned new computer. I just need to clean my desk up first. So it could take a while. Heh.

We Build Things.
2008-05-06 04:59:00 Instead of this stupid chair I have here at my desk, I need to replace it with a massage chair. Preferably a nice, cushy recliner. I am numb from my lower back to the tips of my toes right now. Installing software and getting a new computer running can be downright EXHAUSTING! My ... More About: Things , Build
Yeah, Um?Hi.
2008-05-06 00:13:00 Hi, I’m back. And no, I don’t want to talk about it. If I do, somebody STILL might end up losing a testicle. *ahem* Brief notes, as I’m still in the middle of building my brand spankin’ new computer: My 8 ball team SWEPT the team we were playing in the semi-finals, 3-0.

Multiple Personalities.
2008-05-01 01:34:00 Stupid Avs lost to the stupid Red Wings last night, which means the stupid Red Wings are up 3-0 in Round 2. Stupid Avs. Stupid, stupid, stupid. *ahem* The Flyers, on the other hand, have chased Montreal’s 20 year old phenom goalie Carey Price out of goal for Game 4 tonight. That’s what happens ...

Stupid Freakin? Kitchen.

Yesterday found me EXTREMELY annoyed, thanks to our damn kitchen. While the Flyers were playing in Game 3…which they won, mind you…hubby and I spent some time trying to get the kitchen back ...

Weekend Recap.
2008-04-28 18:40:00 This past weekend stunk. Stunk like one of my husband’s late-night broccoli farts. Hubby and I had so much stuff we needed to get done. Do you know how much we got done?

Sweet Sleep Is On The Way.
2008-04-22 20:40:00 The amount of money that we’ve spent in the last month is STAGGERING. So much for getting the credit cards paid off. Hell, the work on both the cars cost us $1,300. Gah.
