Almost Forgot

Forgot to mention another weird thing that happened yesterday, although it wasn't really all THAT weird. Got a strange text message saying something along the lines of the computer going to be down all day. Didn't have a person's name or anything (like it normally does if someone sends me a text) so I was rather puzzled. Until I realized that it came from Sis' cell phone .... and of course, when her computer system came back online, the IT guys sent an email to let them know..... Gotta love the IT guys!

Tonight is Survivor (in just over an hour!) and I hope it's a more exciting episode than we got last week. And hoping "my guy" does well!


And thinking of almost forgetting -- left my cell phone at home today (again) and it drove me nuts. Not that I get calls or anything, but it bugs me not to have it with me. Got home and looked everywhere I could think of for the darned thing. Finally found it. In the "cell phone pocket" of my purse. D'oh! Had a message to call Duh; she wants me to come over this weekend and tie bows on wooden roses for the Two-Step competition in April. Not sure if it will be on Saturday or Sunday (she'll let me know) but she was wondering if Sis would like to join us .... she lives in Riverside, FYI, Sis.

Today Was .... Different

Started off thinking that today was Thursday and that I'd get to watch Survivor tonight. Of course, that was completely wrong. Then, my co-worker AZ told me that she wished she had my cell number, so that she could have called and told me not to bring lunch today, because she brought me some home-made shrimp fettucini (which was kinda funny because I brought Lean Cuisine fettucini, which is No Comparison at all!) A little while later, AZ started laughing.... she was trying to call a vendor about an invoice and right after she dialed the number, her private line started ringing. She'd hang up to answer the incoming call, and nobody was there. Yup, you got it. She was calling her own number by mistake! Three times.... we giggled over that one a couple times during the day.

Had a "safety meeting" for the AP department today (first one I've gone to). The Boss started out by handing out a flyer on cell phone 'dangers" and said that he hates cell phones, and never uses his. He's 55, and when he was a kid he'd be outside from 8 in the morning until 10 at night, his mom had no way of getting in touch with him and he was never kidnapped or anything, so he sees no need for being so accessible now. That was the extent of our "safety" meeting.

Anyway, I guess it was a pretty good day, all things considered (seeing as it isn't Survivor night and all).

Been A While

Wow, it's been a long time since I posted (as was pointed out to me in a prior comment). Shows how exciting my life is, I guess ... just so busy there's no time to type! LOL Yeah, right. Let's see. Work. Late lunch on Saturday with The Boy, Dad and J. Late breakfast on Sunday with The Kids, followed by a drive to the ski lift area of Mt Baldy, then back home. Finished my square for the Heartfail KAL (well, re-finished it... I decided to redo the basketball square on larger needles and like it much better. Work yesterday. Work today, followed by tacos with The Boy. Back home. How can one person handle all this excitement, you ask? Oh--you didn't ask. Fine then.

Anyway, here's the reknit basketball square, in which the pattern shows up much more nicely than it did the first time around. And I don't remember if I posted the horse square, so here it is, too.

Survivor Update

Although I probably won't be doing weekly updates, I wanted to post tonight because My Tribe Won The Challenge and Sis owes $.50. We are now even. HA.

Not Much To Say

As usual, there isn't much to report. I stopped on the way home from work yesterday and got new yarn for my Heartfail KAL square. This one is a nice green, and I'm about halfway done with the knitting. I really like this a lot better than the brown; the pattern shows up more clearly. I'll have to think of something else to make with the brown yarn because I do like it. Maybe I'll make a hat for myself. Not that I wear them, but what the heck.

Anyway, here's the square so far ... and now I'm going to get ready for Survivor. And I apologize for the picture quality; I need new batteries for the camera, so this one was taken with my phone.

Oh - and I got confirmation today that my Hattz were received. I wasn't expecting them to get there until tomorrow, so I'm really pleased that they arrived early. Yay!
