Partner Needed…

I am “participating” in the FlyLady.net: Declutter Challenge Time and at the end she suggests finding a “Super Fling Boogie Dance Partner”. I think it’s a GREAT idea. I plan on doing some serious dancing – anyone want to join me? Or if you’re the top that likes to just watch and laugh – I’ll be posting more about it at The Resolution Project.

Give Thanks…

Great post over at aka cooties about reasons to be thankful. Thanks for the great points Mike!

And Lee has made a commitment to stop smoking on January 15th. I am really proud of her and will be cheering her on. My mom was able to stop years ago thanks to the patch and motivation by my aunt losing part of her lung thanks to cancer. Lee has family motivation too. I know it won’t be easy, but I will be here for support!

Cool Sitings…

Yeah, “sitings”. As in “sightings” but spelled intentionally wrong because I just stumbled across The Blog of Chris Pirillo thanks to Meryl, who always manages to have to cool goods. Chris’s blog is … wonderful. I can’t think of anything more creative to say about it. My brain’s creative juices are all dried up after all of the writing I have done at work today.

The UPS Mystery…

When I got home last night there was a note on the door informing me that UPS had tried to deliver a package. Of course, the apartment office won’t accept packages right now because they may be full of anthrax. (This annoys me to no end because there are many other problems that are a lot more likely to occur at an apartment then an anthrax package showing up.) I tried to call UPS today, only to be told by the phone system to go to the website to get the information. This is wonderful that now UPS assumes everyone has access to the internet. (Ok, I know I have access … but that doesn’t mean everyone does!) So off to the website, where I can see they tried to deliver the package again today (yeah, guess what? I wasn’t home) but I was able to change the delivery address to my office so they can take it there tomorrow instead.

The real mystery is what is in this package though. It’s coming from a fulfillment spot in Oklahoma. I know my Wishlist says that an item was ordered that I have not received yet – I wonder if this is it! Or else … well, I have no clue what it could be otherwise.

Just Another Day…

Started off this morning with an early trip to the dentist. Yes, boys & girls – this is your friendly reminder to go see the dentist! I had to have one permanent crown put into place, and then two fillings plus another crown started on the opposite side. This made eating lunch interesting, as it is painful to chew on the top row of teeth on both sides. I am near the end of my dental path though, just one more crown to do! Yeah! And the rest of my perio treatment. My crowns aren’t from neglecting my teeth – most of them were situations of old fillings that reached the end of their life or some decay that had formed underneath fillings. Surface areas that no brush could ever reach.

After that, I went to St. Anne’s and enrolled Jason. I have a good feeling about that, especially after talking with one of the scout dads last night whose kids had gone there before they moved (and switched to a different Catholic school). So hopefully most of the school issues will be solved, although there will be new ones now. Jason has attended the same school since Kindergarten, and has kids in his class that he has known since he went to pre-school. So now he will have to go over the hurdle of making new friends. I think he’ll be ok though, and we will still be in the same Scout pack because we are in our church’s Scout pack, not the school’s. So there will be that stability, and he will still get to see the kids we have known since he was 4 there.
