Civics lesson

Posted by: Anna on: November 29, 2006

There is a slight possibility that I may or may not have pink eye courtesy of my grubby hands niece. So far there is no gunk, but I’ve got an itch and a serious case of paranoia.
My jewelry “business” is doing well so far. As long as I keep buying in bulk I [...]

I forgot to mention it when I saw it. Missy made the Stuff on my Cat website! Yay!
Here she is in all her glory…

Top 5 in interestingness

Posted by: Anna on: November 28, 2006

I had a really interesting thing to say this morning. And then the internet wouldn’t work… again.
Oh wait – I remember! Jewelry! So, I’ve started a new hobby. It is a slightly expensive hobby since I need supplies and such. I’m making jewelry. I’ve always loved it, [...]

Quickie

I can tell today is Cyber Monday. The internet is super slow at work today. Not that I’m shopping or making my wish list on amazon.com…
I’ve been sick since Friday with a lovely head cold. Not happy with it at all. My walks the past few days have involved lots [...]

I’m dreaming

Posted by: Anna on: November 21, 2006

The morning weather man uttered a word that sends the average Southerner into a panic. Combine this panic with last minute Thanksgiving shopping and you have the beginnings of mass hysteria.
SNOW!
That’s right. A weatherman on a certain news channel *cough*fox*cough* decided it would be funny to send us into panic. Ok, I [...]

Non-committal

Apparently, once a week postings are not enough!
I must admit that last week was a bit of a rollercoaster.   I had some really funny stuff I wanted to mention, but I’m pretty sure you had to be there.
I dyed my hair twice in those seven days.  Let’s just say that the platinum blond was an [...]

Mine, all mine

I really want to just brag on the bestest boyfriend ever!
This weekend was one of the best. He made me breakfast in bed AND helped me color my hair. He pulled all those strands through the cap!
Talk about buttering me up!
Soon there will be more bragging, but I have to get there first.

And today’s number is 2

Two things.
One.  I have to change my password every thirty days due to “security” issues.  I have a set number of passwords that I already use and am now out of fresh ideas.  We can not duplicate passwords, which really sucks!  I started using my dictionary to randomly pick one or two words to add [...]

When I type mice I say meese in my head

Posted by: Anna on: November 7, 2006

It isn’t even 9 in the morning and I have had more than plenty happen today.
Let’s start with the dog Blue. Blue is a yellow lab who thinks she is a cat. I’m not just referring to the whole “I can fit in your lap, really!” mentality. She is one of the [...]

I should try this with bullets

Posted by: Anna on: November 6, 2006

This is the part of the day when I’m usually cranking it out. I’ve got a “project” looming over my head. It is a ridiculously huge time-waster and its all because I asked for something a little more challenging at work.
Seriously, did you know I do maybe an hour’s worth of work a [...]
