Damn, Has it Been a Year?

You know, it seems like just yesterday … and at other times it seems like Robyn has always been a part of my life. But it’s only been a year – or it has already been a year, depending on how you want to look at it. Either way, just a year ago she wondered if she could keep this whole blogging thing up. Happy Blogiversary, Robyn! I knew you could do it. And I’m really glad that you have. *smooch!*

Edited: Oops. Thanks to having another headache, I just realized that today is just the 10th. Her 1 year mark is actually on the 12th – which is Monday. Well, let me just be ahead of the game and congratulate her a few days early – Monday is going to be a crazy day at work, and I’ll be lucky if I get to post. So … Happy Blogiversary a few days early!

(Note to self: Add script from Scripty Goddess that will allow posts written in advance to appear in the future!)

Ever Had One of Those Days?

Ever had one of those days? I mean, one of those really, really bad days? Mine started off with the alarm clock breaking. Kymberlie called and woke me up when I wasn’t at the office. Greeeeeat. Still needed to take a shower, get ready for work, that whole routine. I tested out my alarm clock – instead of the alarm, it let out a quick, quiet “eep!” and that was it. No snooze, nothing else. No wonder I slept through it. Then it was off to work, hit the ground running, get a ton of things done. There were some various things going on at work that had both of us a bit stressed out. At 2:30 we realized we had to leave the office and go get something to eat, even though neither one of us was very hungry. On the way, Kymberlie asked, “Can this day get ANY worse???” I immediately thought of Todd and Robyn (and Todd’s accident) and said emphatically, “YES, yes it can. We could get in an accident this afternoon.” But we didn’t – thank goodness! The rest of the afternoon didn’t get much better, but towards the end of the day we were finally able to laugh about some of it.

When I got home tonight I got a call from Hilary. It was WONDERFUL to get to talk to her! Hopefully we will be getting together this weekend – probably tomorrow (well, later today!) and I’m *really* excited about that! The evening got better from there. I prefer to end things on a positive note!

JPII Gets His Groove On…

JPII? Who’s that? Why it’s Pope John Paul II – but that’s too long to put on the back of his new Harlem Globetrotter’s Honorary Team member jersey. Uh huh, honorary team member. I’m glad they don’t expect him to actually play, because let’s be honest. That would take a miracle. (Now I’m off to say 5 Hail Mary’s and 10 Our Father’s for saying something so … wrong.)

Just Checking In…

Since Kristine e-mailed me to check in on me, I guess I should write that I am a-ok today. I survived the migraine last night by going to sleep. Dark room, turned the air conditioning down (I must be cool, almost cold when I have a migraine), turned off the TV because I can’t have any noise, and slept on the couch. That way I make sure I stay flat on my back with the ice pack under my neck. I woke up sometime in the middle of the night and went to bed, and by the time I got up this morning I felt just fine. Not quite great, but pretty close. More Excedrin this morning and the rest of the day has been great!

Speaking of great, I got pink cookies in the mail from Donna! Yes, genuine home made pink cookies! And let me tell you … they are DELICIOUS! You can get the recipe here and make your own, because Donna’s are so good I’m not sharing!
