Yes, I know, I’ve been MIA for a while. I’ve been busy and my focus has been elsewhere. Sorry. All’s good, though.
- So, since I just noticed that my last post was about my 5k, I guess I should tell you…I finished!
I ran a portion (small by many people’s standards) and finished right at my goal finish time. - Wednesday night the annoyances of my upstairs neighbor came to a head, I snapped, he got pissed, I was wrong, I had to apologize. I don’t hate my upstairs neighbor but sometimes he listens to his music or TV too loud. He and I have had a number of discussions about it. Lately it’s been loud again. Wednesday night my sister was over with Rider, she and I were trying to talk but I could barely hear her. Rider was complaining about the noise and things on my entertainment center started rattling. I got pissed and knocked (OK banged) on the floor. He started stomping (the music didn’t go down) and I got pissed. Then I noticed he was at my front door and not happy. Ends up, he didn’t have the music on at all. He and I talked for quite a bit, I went up and spoke with his wife as well. I apologized it ended fine. Except…
- I have ANOTHER noisy neighbor now.
- Tomorrow I’m going to a soccer game. I get to pretend to be a soccer mom for one morning. LOL Actually, we have some friends that live here and they don’t have family here so I try to go to their kids’ games when I can so they have “family” there besides mom & dad. The daughter’s last game (that I can go to) is tomorrow morning and since mom is coaching and dad is coaching her brother’s game they don’t have any pictures or videos of her playing. So, I get to go be the camera soccer mom for a morning. It’s fun to watch the kids play and I think they like me showing up.
- I just moved my e-mail reading from Outlook to Gmail. I used to use Thunderbird but it didn’t sync with my Blackberry and it was annoying so I moved to Outlook. However, there’s a reason I wasn’t using Outlook…I don’t like it. I finally had enough of it and figured out (almost) how to use Gmail instead. It’s actually nice because I can get my e-mail anywhere I can get on the web.
- We completely skipped fall this year. Well, fall temperatures at least. We went from warm and sunny to cold and cold and icy overnight. Literally. It was about 80 one day and 50 the next. I’m not joking. This week we’ve barely been in the 40s. I like the cold but I just don’t feel prepared for winter yet.
- My niece is in girl scouts. She just started and it’s super cool. But, with girl scouts comes fundraisers. Guess who’s buying candy. LOL Of course, I had to buy some from the soccer girl too so I’m going to have more candy than I need sitting around. Maybe I’ll give some as gifts.
- One cool thing about winter is that I get to bust out my scarfs and gloves again. I LOVE my scarfs and gloves and even made sure my hair was cut so I can wear hats this year without looking funny (as in I didn’t cut it short like I was tempted to do).
- I bought myself a special treat this week. I’ve been eyeing it since they first came out and have been wanting one since I first heard of them. The price was a turn-off though, but I got a gift certificate from someone and a rebate that I wasn’t expecting/counting on PLUS the price dropped so the time was right. Yep, today my brand new Kindle arrives. I’m so stinking excited that I can’t even breathe. I already have books sitting in my queu to download to it as soon as it gets here. I’ve been tracking it since it left the warehouse. It’s in town, right now, but not at my house yet. (And, yes, I’ll probably leave work as soon as it arrives to go get it.)
- The heater just turned off. I really don’t like baseboard/wall heaters. They suck. Anyone who tells you they are efficient is wrong. Well, except that you can just heat one room if you want/need to. But, still they suck.
OK…I have a lot of work to do so I need to work.

It’s Friday so that means…
- My outdoor plants look a lot better outside. They really don’t belong inside. How do I know that? They are all inside right now. Now, before you think I’m crazy (which I’m not in this instance) I HAD to bring them inside or risk them getting destroyed. They decided to powerwash my building today. I didn’t want to risk my plants getting ruined so I brought them inside. It’s really not as pretty as it sounds.
- I’m home from work with a sick kid. No, I didn’t acquire a child that I haven’t told anyone about. I’m here with Rider. Tami can’t really take time off work at central dispatch (fancy for 911) so I volunteered. Poor kid has a nasty, red, itchy rash all over his body. He seems like to like rolling around on the carpet today. But, I might be able to convince him to take a nap — the benadryl is making him sleepy…
- This weekend is Julyamsh AND Hayden Days. I had planned on taking Rider to both since I’m babysitting all weekend. I really hope his rash clears up because I don’t want to take him out with it…he LOOKS horrible.
- I think I missed cherry and strawberry picking at Green Bluff. I’m kind of bummed. That doesn’t mean I haven’t been eating cherries and strawberries. I just didn’t get to pick them myself.
- They just finished powerwashing the front of the building. I haven’t seen them in the back but I hope they get there…it needs done also. I put the flowers back out front because they were giving me a headache.
- Rider decided to redecorate my front patio. It kind of looks good (I helped with a couple things). He moved the chairs then I had to adjust some of the flowers to keep some walking room. I guess it was time for a change.
- I think I need to lower my expectations. I went out front and nit-picked the powerwash job. There are still cobwebs on the building. I don’t get it. I wanted my brother’s company to at least bid the job…they didn’t get the chance. But, these people did cruddy work. The walkways don’t look any better. I kind of stinks that the people who own this property don’t take as much pride in it asI do. Because it looks like crap.
- I have to figure out what to eat for lunch. I had today’s lunch planned but it’s at the office. I’m not. So, it’s not going to do me much good. I found a box of mac & cheese in the back of the pantry that I can serve Rider, for me, I still have to work it out.
- I’m feeling kind of tired today. I didn’t sleep well last night because I kept checking on Rider. I probably didn’t need to worry but I did. I feel like I didn’t sleep at all but I know I did.
- It looks like the weather this weekend will be nice. I really hope the kid is feeling better so we can enjoy it. It’s not often I have him all weekend. It’s also not often that I have this much planned on a weekend. I’d really don’t want to spend the whole weekend inside.
Have a great weekend!

Yep, it’s FRIDAY!
- I feel like I had a very successful week at work. I’m not sure why I feel that way but I do. My billable time isn’t up, I don’t have any new clients, I didn’t do anything extraordinary, but I feel like it was a good week. That’s nice.
- Tonight I’m going to a networking event. I’m not really sure if I’m excited or not. A group of VAs I meet with locally and I have a table at the event and I had to buy some stuff for it so I have a bit of $$$ invested in the event, I really hope it ends up being worth it. We’ll see.
- The sun is finally shining. It’s actually a little on the warm side. I wouldn’t be complaining but I’ve been inside all week (working) and today I’m wearing “make me look smart” clothes so I feel warm. But, I’m glad the sun is shining
- I planted everything on my front patio and the flowers look great. I have a pink/white/purple theme going on. I LOVE it. The back patio. Well…
- Tomorrow is FARM CHICKS. I’m excited but I don’t really know why I’m excited. I just am. I don’t even know if I’m going because the people I thought were going aren’t and I don’t want to go alone. But, I guess my sister-in-law and her mom are going so I’ll go with them.
- I went to my first private art reception. Woohoo. Doesn’t that sound fancy? One of my friends is an artist and his show started last night, I got an invitation to the private reception so I went. It was kind of fun. That gallery (sort of) redeemed itself to me. I’ll still need to monitor if I’m taking my niece but it was approved for this show.
- My assistant rocks. Did I tell you I hired an assistant? Well, I did. She rocks. I was so scatterbrained today trying to figure tonight out. She kept me on track and even went and bought the things I needed but forgot to order. So, yeah, she pretty much rocks.
- I have become a Farm Town addict. I know, what’s Farm Town, right? It’s a stupid game on Facebook. I’m ADDICTED. Well, the complete addiction is over, I have now obtained a high enough level in the game that I’m able ot plant crops that take longer to harvest so I don’t have to be on there EVERY day. Plus, I get to play with my sister in CA so it’s cool. We’ve talked more in the last couple weeks because of this game than we’ve talked in the last year I think. So, I’m happy.
- A very good family friend died this week. I’ve known them since I was born, I think. His wife and my mom are the closest of friends. It was not a fun call that I got on Saturday and Monday’s was worse. Death sucks.
- My cat has officially become annoying. First he gets himself stuck in the refrigerator for an hour. Then he gets himself locked out of the house for who knows how long. Then he gets himself locked in the closet overnight. Not to mention the mini-blind issue. Well, he latest trick, knocking the screen out of the window then getting annoyed with ME because he was on the front porch and couldn’t get in. You’d think he’d learn. Yeah, right.
OK…I’m off for a late lunch and some networking. Wish me lots of good clients.

- The office still stinks. I’m NOT opening everything up again today because it’s cold out.
- Speaking of cold. It’s 25 out today and I forgot my jacket. But when I got to my car I realized that when I got home last night I didn’t put it on and left it in the car. So, I’m OK. Although I still haven’t put it on.
- I’m having pictures taken today for business stuff. The last ones I took are almost three years old so I guess it’s time.
- I want to eat something but I’m not sure what I want to eat. It’s something specific that I’m craving but I don’t know what that specific thing is.
- No one is in the office today. I’m not sure how I lucked out but it’s been like that two days in a row. I could do some serious damage on the work pile if this keeps up.
- I’m starting a new marketing program. I did it once before and liked the results. I’m exciting about starting this and am glad I have things better organized this time around.
- I have no plans for this weekend. This week has flown by and now the weekend is here and I don’t know what to do.
- I need to get some new music on my iTunes. I’m getting bored with what’s here.
- Last night I made Baylee (a good friend’s daughter who babysits for my home group) listen to a country song. She said she hates country music. But, after I dropped her off at home she texted me asking who sang it because she liked the song.
- I went grocery shopping a week ago and have only made one of the meals that I bought. I haven’t been home much.
Happy Friday!

It’s FRIDAY!
- I just wrote my whole post of 10 things at the retarded laptop went back and deleted it.
- I took this morning off work to finish my sister and nephew’s room. As long as I can convince her to sleep out of her car for the next week I’ll be ready for them. (I’ll pull an all-night tonight and we’ll be OK.)
- My sister is scheduled to pull in around 5PM tonight. My nephew (and my mom) are scheduled to land at 11:40AM tomorrow. We’re getting close.
- Mr. Cat is almost completely toilet trained. I did NOT plan the timing on this adventure very well. But, we’re almost there and there are two bathrooms so we might all be using mine for a few days to finalize this training.
- Today is CASINO DAY. I mean, today is my monthly meeting with four VA colleagues of mine where we get together and support each other in our businesses and network. But, we’re meeting at the casino so it’s really CASINO DAY!
- Tomorrow we’re going to a concert at church with the whole family. Fun, fun, fun.
- There are snow on all the mountains around me. My house is on the chilly side (if you consider 62 chilly) but I’m in denial and too cheap to pull the couch out away from the wall to turn the heat on.
- I have to leave to meet my carpool for CASINO DAY in one hour so I guess it’s time to get in the shower.
- Did I mention that my roommates start arriving today?
- Dead mice, no matter how horrid they are are 100x’s better than mouse turds.
