Silence…

All is well, but … I don’t know what is up. I’ve been boycotting the computer for days. This is very strange for me. Normally my only computer free times are due to vacations and a lack of web access. Not right now. Right now I’m busy at work, and busy at home. Friday I had no web access – they had taken it down in an effort to stop the Sobig virus, and it took me hours to get my cable modem to come back online. They finally had to push me a new IP or something like that. You know, techno things that require going in to a DOS prompt and all that.

Saturday was spent running errands, heading to Mike’s company picnic as long as we could stand the heat, and picking up Naomi’s couch. Her roommate decided to let Enrico pick it up while I was in Boston, and he put it in storage for a few weeks. I didn’t want to pay for another month of storage, so it was time to move it. (I’m so glad to see Enrico’s blog up and running – good stuff… very good stuff…) Rearranging and moving furniture wears you out, and I didn’t even have to carry it up the stairs! Thank goodness for nice neighbors!

Sunday was spent cleaning, cleaning and more cleaning. Rearranging. Hanging pictures in the kitchen. Cleaning out closets. Busy, busy things. I’ve been feeling quiet along with stressed and frustrated with all of this clutter. I’m throwing out everything I can, and whatever isn’t going in the trash is going to be sold at a garage sale or on eBay. It needs to GO. Amazing how cathartic a clean closet can be.

Today I hit the ground running at work, and didn’t stop until after 8:00 tonight. Quite a day.

I feel drained. I have nothing to say. I have so much I want to do, and it seems like there is never enough time to do it all. So if I’m not around, you’ll know where to find me.

On a positive note, to go with the new couch and my new amazingly comfy Ikea chair (my back is so thankful right now!), I am going to frame some of my photos and make a photo collage on the wall over the “new” couch (once I move it). I’m really excited – it’s time those photos are shown off some place else besides online. I can’t wait to see how the completed project turns out!

What is It?

My Dad cracks me up. Tonight we were swapping jokes, and he told me he cut this out of the trivia section of the newspaper. Think long and hard about it before you answer in the comments…

What is the first thing you know?

Flex Points?

I just came across this article with tips on Diet at your Desk and it reminded me that I received an e-mail from Weight Watchers the other day announcing a new flex point system, and then I contacted the FitnessTrainer.com trainers to start getting into fitness. Unfortunately, there wasn’t any information on the website to allow me to learn more about it. Anyone know? Anyone have any details? I may just have to start going to the meetings in downtown again to find out – I’m really curious! If you know anything about it (or want to share Weight Watchers tips), leave a comment! Better try to visit MassGainSource.

Psst… Over Here…

Yes, yes, I’m alive and well. Jish is in Houston visiting, and Mike & I had dinner with him Tuesday night after he arrived in Houston, and last night we had a great H-Town Blogs gathering with Jish as our “guest of honor”. Good times, good times. Too busy tonight working on Blogomania things though to stop and focus on writing about it. Soon. With pictures.

I knew I had better stop and make a post though when Sandi, a former co-worker and a friend of mine for many years that keeps up with me through my blog, e-mailed me today to make sure I was ok! I find that very comforting though that she checked on me like that.

Thank you to everyone that came out last night for dinner, and for those that couldn’t make it – we missed you!

Taking Up the Call…

There is a lovely little girl that is missing Clarence right now, and YOU may hold the link to help her out. Can you help find a new Clarence for her to love? Her old one was lost in a fire, and it is her favorite toy. And if you want one, there is even a Hunt for Clarence button (I’ll add mine soon) . [via SkurdyCat]

I remember when I was little, I had a Dressy Bessy that I loved. I remember always taking it to bed with me, and other places too. I don’t remember the details on what happened – I might have gotten sick in the middle of the night, and Bessy was an innocent victim? Either way, eventually she had to go. She was beyond repair, and even more washing wasn’t going to help. As a little kid, you don’t understand these things. Know what I mean?

UPDATE: A new Clarence has been FOUND! Yeah!
