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!

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.

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!

Why do Mondays always come? Why do we have to go back to work? Why can’t grownups have summer vacations that last for months and not days? Why?

So, how do you feel about your Monday? Please share your thoughts … I know you want to! Come on, tell it like it is…

Since Jason started school so early – we are ahead of the game with the school fundraiser! So it’s that time of year … his school is selling Entertainment Coupon Books which are full of restaurant coupons, and things like airfare, hotel and travel discounts, buy one, get one free museum passes, and even discounts for stores like Walgreens and Target. The Houston one even has a $5 off of $50 worth of groceries for every month for both Randalls and Krogers. You can preview them online if you want to see what all they offer.

Really a great value for only $21.00.

If you’re in Houston and you are interested in buying one, send me an e-mail and let me know (me at this domain dot com). That way he will get credit for the sale – last year he had the top sales in the school! He really wants to do the same again this year too – and you can help!

If you’re not in Houston, don’t despair! Let me know via e-mail and we can hook you up too! Or you can help out by ordering one online at Entertainment.com – enter the school account number 305374 and his school will still get credit for the sale.

This now concludes my shameless plug … thank you for your help!
