Next Blog

Have you ever clicked on the "Next Blog" button at the top of the page? It's interesting how many different themes you find, many of which don't apply to my world.

I've come across stay-at-home-moms who think they are the only women in the world with a husband and children. "Today Junior did his first number 2 in the potty". Then there is "LC, In the Love of Christ", "The Family of God and "because of Grace". I've seen the poor women struggling with infertility and those that have conquered it. There are crazy sport fanatics and New Age revelations and up-to-the-minute War Craft crazies. If you can think it, it's out there for the world to read someone's opinion about something.

Does that mean that as a society we sit at our computers and opine about nothingness instead of speaking our minds to those that matter? Something I will have to ponder and blog about...

Professional Shopping

I ROCK at X-mas shopping. I got 75% of it done in 3 stops and 2 hours. Just have a handful of gift cards to buy and I'm done. Wrapped everything I have so far. I LOVE wrapping gifts. It's the best part of the holiday. I would love to get a part time job wrapping holiday presents!

I'm cooking a brisket and latke dinner tonight and starting my holiday baking. My son is going to join me in the kitchen and we have all weekend to hang out and cook/bake. All is good.

Hurry Up 2010

Is it January 1st yet? I've got to tell ya, it can't get here soon enough. This is the worst time of year at my work. My boss just gets crazier and crazier as the days creep closer to January 1st. Just when I think she's peaked at the craziest, she just keep getting wackier.

I'm not remotely ready for the holidays. I've only bought one gift. I better get busy! Where has the time gone? I'm good under pressure so I'm not worried. I just want to get it done so I can let my brain go away for a few days.

Celebrating the holidays with the family as always. Why does it seem to be harder some years than others to deal with all the dynamics? Thanksgiving was strained and I don't see X-mas any better.

Having friends over for the new year. Looking forward to that?

Sappy Movies

I spent the evening cooking a big pot of soup, folding laundry and watching some very sappy Christmas movies on cable. I'm more than embarrassed at all the time I wasted on them. Of course, a few tears is always cleansing.

Someone to Watch Over Me

My son was with his father tonight and spun out on the freeway, going around 1 3/4 times. Amazingly they did not hit anything or get hit themselves. Someone was watching over them...

I just spent the evening with a very good friend. We walked in the rain to a nearby neighborhood restaurant, ate a yummy meal, talked a lot and then walked home. She has been such a good friend, especially this past year. I have to say that she has been the one person that has truly understood everything I've been going through and knows just the right thing to say.

I'm very lucky...

Gotta Love Dwight

Took this picture at work and emailed it to my coworkers. Made them smile :)

Before Bed

A couple of things before I go to bed...

I love Glee. It's just an all around feel good show. I want someone to explain to me why tonight was the season finale. Don't seasons last until May? What's the deal? With all that said, they've hooked me til next season with the awesome show tonight. Will + Emma = love. Lucky bastards.

Caught the season finale of Top Chef too. What am I going to watch next week? Okay, NCIS Classic and Nouveau are both rockin shows. Back to Top Chef... I was rooting for Bryan as the winner. Does that make me a stick-up-my-ass sibling? Not in my family!!

Tomorrow is Thursday which is one day before Friday. I'm ready for the week to be ending, especially the work week. I'm not enjoying this cold frickin' weather and I'm ready for summer!

Is it my time yet?

I've been thinking about this blog alot lately. I follow a couple of other blogs, one of which faithfully posts every single day. It's personal stuff about what he does every day, with his family, friends or at work. I think if I was someone who he was writing about, I would be a tad bit annoyed. Blog about someone else, not me!

My direction here is to be anonymous...stealth. No names, no pictures of people I know...just observations, stories and odd photos or videos to I may take or find somewhere else.

It will be interesting to see how often I come by and post. My last one was in March of 2006 so it could be a while! Maybe this time it will be different....
