Membership has its advantages
YAY! So I'm in my room for the week, AND it has a refrigerator, AND it has Internet. The latter was a little tricky. The last time I was here for a brief stay I couldn't get it to work but it was only 2 days so I just bit the bullet and dealt without it.
This time I'm here for a week and I'll be damned if I don't have Internet access. So I actually called the techie support number and she wasn't much help at all. "It's like a cell signal. You may have to move around the room to find a good spot."
Yeah, okay. How about if I just "repair" my wireless connection and see if that does it. It does? Amazing! Wow! Who'da thunk it?
So apparently I'm not as computer illiterate as I thought I was. Thank God for that. I know I'm an idiot most of the time but at least I figured that out. And while I fluctuate between 3 and 4 bars down on my tool bar, at least they are all green and I'm connected.
I have a sweet suite this stay. Two little rooms - one as the bedroom, and one as the living area complete with big TV (anything is big compared to my 13 inch), DVD player, wireless connection, sofa, lay-z-boy, mini fridge, microwave, coffeemaker and coffee table. Nice digs. The bedroom is nice too - a queen bed, big closet, dresser, sink for dishes and brushing teeth (my one minor pet peeve) and nice bathroom (without sink). As my friends would say, "That'll do, pig. That'll do."
Now just to get psyched up for my class. Uffda.

Into the Unknown
Once again I am thrust into the world of the unknown: Will my room be okay? Will I have Internet? Will it work? Will I have a refrigerator?
These things plague me when I travel. And I have to travel again today. I'm not really excited about this one. Usually a week of training away from my office is good, but this week not so much.
It's not that the training will be bad, it's just that I've already had it. So it's refresher (duh). It wouldn't be a big deal but looking at the course description for the week, it's exactly the same as what I've had before. It won't be anything new.
And I have to go. Joy. I could so use this week to get caught up on some memos I need to get updated before the guys across the street hunt me down for not having them updated. (not that they cared 2 months ago, but now that they have an inspection coming up suddenly it's an issue).
But I will go. I will travel and hope that something good will come of the week.
And that I'll have Internet and a refrigerator. :)

Favorite Aunt
I'm once again establishing my status as the "favorite aunt" amongst a few of my nieces and nephews.
Last night Emmy came to stay with me. We went to Target to get my other niece, Ava, a birthday gift and picked up a couple movies to watch. We also checked out the toys so I have a better idea of what to get her for Christmas.
Today we made cookies and frosted them. We also made bacon and eggs (like I did before).
The cookies we made were a little gross, in my opinion. She thought they were "yummy!" Of course, she'll eat anything as long as it has sugar and is sweet. It was a weird recipe in one of her recipe books. Easy to make, I'll say, but just not right. Oh well. The bacon and eggs were a hit as always. :)
Then her mom and brother Zach picked us up to go to Ava's for her 2nd birthday party. "I'm twooooooooo," she said a lot today. We also picked up Granny (my mom) to ride with us.
The party was great. Ava was super cute and had a lot of fun opening her gifts. "Open!" She got three dolls (well, three and a half...one was a Barbie), a puppy that was super cool, a stroller, a diaper bag for her dolls and Mr. Potato Head. The latter was a good gift because it kept Zach and Jake busy for a good while.
But Ava gave me lots of hugs and kept coming to me to hold her. That made me happy. I'm glad she likes me and remembers me. And Emmy and I had a lot of fun. I'm glad I can have a close relationship with them. This is one of the best bonuses of moving back home. I can't wait until I get a house so I can have them over more often and they can stay in my guest room. Someday...

Flashback...part two
Today We said goodbye to an old friend. Actually, he wasn't old. That was the bad thing; Dan was only 61.
Dan was my friend AES's uncle. He was also the dad to VS and CO, both of whom I went to high school with. In fact, if things had twisted just slightly, VS and I might have hooked up.
So today was his funeral. I made myself go, not only for AES, for VS and CO, but also for me.
I always knew of Dan. He was around town. He was V and C's dad. He was really cool. But my strongest memory of him was the Friday after my dad died. I was in town and it was a home football game, so I went (something to do). V and Dan were there and V gave me a hug and asked what I was doing home. They hadn't heard (surprising, considering the small town) and I just remember the looks on their faces when I told them. The concern and sympathy and caring that was there was so genuine that I just wanted to hug them both and at the same time comfort them.
Dan had a uniqueness about him. And today it showed. He always wore a gray western style jacket (when he was dressing up) with black in it. It's hard to describe here, but it was really fun to see so many of his friends and loved ones wearing the same kind of jacket. Not sure if that was their own style or if it was a tribute to Dan.
I like to think the latter. Rest in peace, Dan. We'll miss you.

Flashback...it's not just for hippies anymore
A knock down the hallway.
"It's the Police. Can you come to the door?"
Shit. What neighborhood did I move into? I thought it wasn't that bad. It's winter so most of the riff raff have moved on, or at least indoors, but not here. It's quiet in my building. People keep to themselves and all is well.
Well, that's the problem. Apparently my neighbor's daughter called the police to check on her mother because she wasn't answering the phone or checking in. And we have a secured building (for the most part) so if mom wasn't answering the phone then she couldn't buzz her daughter up (or maybe her daughter lives far away...I'm not sure).
It's times like this that make me feel like a heel for being so closed off. I like my solitude but maybe I need to venture out a bit more and meet some of the neighbors. My life in the cities kind of scared me of that some, which is too bad. But maybe I can rekindle the life I knew as a child where everyone knew everyone on the block (whether you wanted them to or not) and little things don't go unnoticed.
My neighbor told the police she was fine and they went inside to talk a bit more. Until I get my nerve up I'll send her a prayer.

Mini pet peeve from this afternoon
Now I know I'm an Admin Assistant (and a damn good one - usually) but this just pisses me off.
Someone needs a letter for them to go to a new job. There's a specific form that it needs to be in and how it needs to look. Now if this was me looking for this new job, I'd type up the letter and have it ready to go for the important people (i.e. boss1 or boss2) to sign it.
But instead, the person who so desperately needs this letter done today so they can start their new job on Monday hands me a sheet of paper with the template on it and says "I found it."
Joy. I ask if it needs to be on letterhead (which is readily accessible to everyone who works here) because it looks horribly unprofessional and like shit. "Oh, yeah, probably," she says offhandedly. "I'll come back tomorrow AM and get it from you."
Now first I thought she needed it today ("I have to have it faxed by 3 our time!") but now she doesn't need it until the morning? And she still can't type it up?
So now I have to retype the Damn letter so that she can have a new job. I'm not sure how she'll function at it if she can't even type up a simple memo. But this is nothing new.
If I wasn't so damn excited that she's leaving I'd be more pissed.

Block
I'm supposed to be writing a story right now that I said I already had written so the folks working on the paper wouldn't forget about it. And I'm stuck.
I was going to write the story this weekend but when I got sick and basically was a zombie on the couch for 48+ hours, the article did not get written.
What kind of annoys me is that I keep getting told I need to step back from this position that I've been helping with, but so many things keep getting missed (at least in my head they do) or I'm asked to help out with things one day, and the next I'm getting chastised for trying to "take over".
I hate the run around and confusion. It's driving me nuts.
And I still don't know how to formulate this story. sheesh. HELP!!!!
Of course my word verification is "untried". nice. Thanks Karma.

TV shift
This has been a weird fall. I'm kind of a TV nut, as my friends would know, and I have my series of shows that I watch.
Mondays it's The Big Bang Theory, HIMYM, and then Prison Break.
Tuesdays there is nothing... NOTHING.
Wednesdays it's Bones, Pushing Daisies, and Private Practice
Thursdays - see...here's where it gets interesting. I used to be big into Ugly Betty but I don't watch it anymore. I still watch CSI. That's a given, I can't not watch CSI.
But the bad thing is that I haven't watched Grey's Anatomy in over a month. I tried to watch online but I just wasn't interested. This is very strange for me because I really do like the show but I missed a couple weeks due to travels and CSI was a good one.
I've also given up on Boston Legal, Two and a Half Men, Without a Trace, The New...Old Christine, Numbers, Rules of Engagement, and the Starter Wife.
Truthfully, it's probably good I'm cutting out TV. I watch too much of it the way it is, so maybe it's time I be a bit more selective. And maybe it'll allow me more opportunities to get out of the house since even Jon says that's all my fault that I have no life. I hate the truth.

A picture's worth a thousand words
But music is an entire novel.
Tonight I got the joy of hearing one of the fabulous Air Force Bands perform a magnificent concert. Part was a standard concert as any concert band would give. Part of it they gave in honor all the veterans. And part they used as an honor to the military and America. It was so incredibly moving.
One of the great parts for me was getting a little culture once again. Their first piece was one we played in college and I could see the music and see Flave conducting and really experience it once again. Another piece was an opera aria by Puccini. The tenor who sang it was extremely talented and it made me long to visit T&E again.
And I looked hot. :) K&E know my outfit since I wore it last Friday when I wanted to feel hot then. I just get tired of always dressing in the same stuff all the time so when I was going to see them last week I dressed up and then wore it again tonight. Suh-weet. :)
Okay...this is just rambles, sorry...

What I do when I'm not 100%
I Stumble. Do you Stumble?
Today I Stumbled on to getmooh.com. This is hysterical. My favorite is the Male Sexy School Friend, though a lot of these would be great.
I'll have to remember this site if I ever do decide to try out match.com. This could be extremely helpful if I'm on a date and I need to get out. :)

Have you thanked a Veteran today?
If you have never read Air Force Blues, I highly recommend that you do. Farva is a brilliant artist and today's cartoon (shown above - click to make it bigger) is especially perfect.
Thanks to all the veterans who have risked their life defending and protecting our country. God bless you all. It's an honor to serve beside you.

good thing about being icky
So it's CBS Monday which is always fun. The Big Bang Theory was hysterical tonight, but the kicker really was HIMYM.
The thing I love most about the latter show is that if they mention a website, generally it's one they started. For example, tonight (SPOILER ALERT) Barney finds out he's not a dad and starts the website notafathersday.com.
Shockingly, when you type that in you come to the site which is just as he described. It's great. Truly this is a great show.

Icky
I've been feeling like crap all day. This sucks. It started a little bit last night when I had ice cream right before I went to bed. "Big mistake...big...huge!" I felt like I had ice cream in my throat just waiting to spew all night.
It didn't end this morning either. I made myself go out and paint (cheap studio rates can't go wrong) and pick up some groceries. Sadly, much to Debbie's chagrin, I didn't get the right stuff to heal myself. I didn't get 7up, I didn't get Saltines, I didn't get anything. And eating toast with butter and drinking pink lemonade is apparently a bad thing.
So I've spent the afternoon on the couch trying to feel better, trying to decide what I can eat that won't make me throw up, and thinking that maybe I'm suffering from E-syndrome. Too much relaxing a sick girl makes.

Painting! Part two
Sadly, my painting did not turn out like expected. I'm not an artist. I really don't know what I was thinking.
Still, I had a good time, drinking my chai and painting away. My pieces will be done next week but I won't get them until that following weekend. I'll post pictures when I do get them back.
I tried Bethany's dot idea on a plate today and it kind of worked, but I think I should have had orange and tighter circles. Oh well. Emmy comes to stay with me this weekend so maybe we'll go back on Saturday and I can try again. :)

Painting!
Tomorrow, on a rare Monday, the pottery place where I have painted (once before) is going to be open. I'm so stoked. I really, really want to paint. My first bowl didn't turn out so well, so I'm hoping tomorrow will go better.
I have a vision, a plan if you will, of what I want to do. I want to put this on a bowl...I know, stupid right, but if it works like I want it to it should be cool. We'll see.
The good thing is that I'll get to relax (not that I didn't already do that all day today) and hopefully hang out with Karen. It's been far too long since I've seen her and it'll be good to catch up. YAY!
Cross your fingers for me though, I really want this to turn out.

Could I be more unmotivated?
Is it possible to truly "do nothing" in a day? Apparently so.
I let myself sleep last night, meaning I didn't set an alarm which is very unusual for me. I like to keep close to my same sleeping schedule, honestly, I do. But you'll see as the day goes on, I don't quite follow my own beliefs.
Today is my Saturday so sleeping was a good thing to do. I woke up at 9 and caught up on the internet and blogs til about 10:30. Then I showered and got dressed, intent on cleaning my apartment, baking, and doing laundry.
Mom called with mail for me (I still get junk mail at home and she can't seem to just shred it or recycle it...I have to look at it) so I ran downstairs to get it. My other plan was to run a 5K today but when I stepped outside it was bitterly cold. Mom didn't even get out of her car...just rolled down the window a bit and handed me my stuff. But then she wanted to talk...um..."It's cold out, mom." oh okay.
I then ran to the grocery store and got a pizza for lunch because I figured I could start my oven then. Did I mention that I hadn't turned on my heat yet? Yeah, so it was very chilly in my apartment.
After lunch, I was freezing. My oven wasn't helping warm up the apartment so I broke down and turned on the heat, then I crawled into bed with my heating blanket and promptly fell asleep. That wasn't my intent at all, I like naps but not to the point where I could have ran a marathon during one.
I ended up sleeping 3 hours, and now I'm trying to get motivated to actually do some of the things I had planned on doing earlier. My kitchen is a mess. I have laundry to put away from last week and more to wash today. It's crazy.
Luckily tomorrow is my Sunday, and while I have plans with Karen (right?) and a couple of errands to do, I should be able to get the rest of my stuff done even if I fail miserably tonight. But let's hope I don't.

Mom called with mail for me (I still get junk mail at home and she can't seem to just shred it or recycle it...I have to look at it) so I ran downstairs to get it. My other plan was to run a 5K today but when I stepped outside it was bitterly cold. Mom didn't even get out of her car...just rolled down the window a bit and handed me my stuff. But then she wanted to talk...um..."It's cold out, mom." oh okay.
I then ran to the grocery store and got a pizza for lunch because I figured I could start my oven then. Did I mention that I hadn't turned on my heat yet? Yeah, so it was very chilly in my apartment.
After lunch, I was freezing. My oven wasn't helping warm up the apartment so I broke down and turned on the heat, then I crawled into bed with my heating blanket and promptly fell asleep. That wasn't my intent at all, I like naps but not to the point where I could have ran a marathon during one.
I ended up sleeping 3 hours, and now I'm trying to get motivated to actually do some of the things I had planned on doing earlier. My kitchen is a mess. I have laundry to put away from last week and more to wash today. It's crazy.
Luckily tomorrow is my Sunday, and while I have plans with Karen (right?) and a couple of errands to do, I should be able to get the rest of my stuff done even if I fail miserably tonight. But let's hope I don't.
