Jason sent this too me a while ago… I think it’s fairly accurate

Take the 100 Acre Personality Quiz!

I’m home. It seemed to take forever, yet we actually got home in record time! No traffic. We left at like 10pm and got home around 9:30am. I was rather miserable most of the way home. I am still feeling icky. I’m going to go rest or something. I haven’t decided just yet.

I just wanted to say thanks to all of my friends that sent me cards and presents. I love you all. I’ll tell you all about the holiday loot later. I’m tired. Ok, I’ll at least add that Jason got my the character stamps and Josh got me GANDALF!!!!!!!!!! It actually looks like Ian McKellan too! A two for one deal!

I’m sick. At least I wasn’t sick for Christmas. I’m still down south, not too far.

Just checking in. Got lots of goodies off of my wishlist and I have convinced Melissa to make one for next year! It makes shopping easy for folks!

Ok, I feel like I’m going to explode. I need to go rest. Just wanted to report in.

I worked extra long hours this week, since I am taking tomorrow, friday, off. Now I must wash clothes, but part of me keeps saying, “Don’t worry about washing, wash when you get there.” The other part of me says, “fresh clothes are nice.” I’m torn. I’m also really freaking tired.

I still have so much to do. Packing and all. Ugh. I think I have a few gifts to wrap too. Oi, what fun?!

We got Skittles a new feeder. It’s this super huge thing. It’s automatic and holds about twenty pounds of food! Skittles saw me pouring food in and went absolutely nuts. It was all very cute.

Ok, I really need to get doing stuff. More later, hopefully.

Went to the first showing here, pretty packed full of guys. Josh and I were quite impressed. I’m hungry and I think I might be afraid of Cate Blanchett now or at least of negatives.

More later. Gotta get some work done.

I used to think that I was an annoying wife, calling my husband at 5:00 pm to see what he wanted for dinner. But working here, I swear I must have been a wonderful wife. I hear guys and gals getting calls from their s.o. constantly. You can actually hear the frustration in their voice. Weird.

Skittles had a vet visit this morning. Holy cow is she one pissed kitty today. New vet meant new techniques. Skittles got her temperature checked and we all know that’s not fun for pets and small children!

The company I and Josh work for aquired a company last week (maybe the week before) and well, it’s pretty cool. This company keeps online versions of many technical manuals (O’Reilly, the Bible Series etc). I haven’t gone through it completely, but I’m rather excited. The O’Reilly books alone cost me hundreds of dollars a year! I am going to check next to see if they have the New Riders books. I will be completely happy if they do.

Which Rocky character are you?

I was trying to cut back on the tests, but I can’t resist this one. I’ve loved Rocky Horror since I was little. I didn’t quite get all of it until later in life, but hey, the music was cool! I’m not quite sure if I agree with the results, but I like Tim.

Link from my dear ole’ friend Calhoun.

I went to the mall. It was scary and it was bad. People were parking in ditches. I had Josh drop me off and he drove around. I went looking for the last of the presents and was only somewhat successful. I was hoping to not have to order some things online, but I guess I have to. I don’t have anywhere else to look! Well, there’s one more place, but I’m not sure it will be safe to go there. Too many people.

I found that many stores were carrying the same items as each other. I felt VERY limited in selection. The clearance sections had more exciting things than the holiday “sale” items.

I’m 98% finished with the all of the children I am buying for. In total I’m about 85% finished with all of the presents. Finding what I want to get my father is proving quite difficult. I think I’m going to be spending some time at Amazon.com tomorrow evening. Which reminds me, Josh wants me to update my wishlist so he knows what to get me. Oi vey. Does he realize how long it took me to get all of that stuff on there? I bookmarked things I liked until I felt I had a wide enough assortment of things to put on it.

Well, it’s naptime or something for me. I’ve been going non stop. At least Josh appreciates me doing all of the shopping for the family. It would REALLY suck if he didn’t let me know that he appreciated it. I mean REALLY suck.

My dad is always the hardest to buy for. I guess it’s him I take after. If he wants something, he just goes and buys it. It does make buying for him rather difficult.

I’ve been looking online but found nothing that I think he would really enjoy. He’s never really been into getting gifts. Maybe it’s a guy thing.

I got Josh’s birthday present and he’s already playing with it. It’s an R/C plane simulator. With the music this thing has, I feel like he’s flipping between an old USA Network movie and The Weather Channel. Those are the musical selections I get to listen to! Oh the joy.

I will find a link to the particular simulator. I shouldn’t have let him have it so early (five days) but I went ahead. I tortured him enough while we were at work. Hee hee.

We went the GNHLUG holiday party last night. I’m still tired from it. It was fun. There were about 70+ people there. That’s a darn good show I would say. Lots of new faces. Maddog was there. He didn’t dress up like Santa this year, but he wore his santa hat. He is funny sometimes. It’s hard to tell whether he likes you or not. I think I’m ok with him.

Maddog got a homemade Christmas present from a GNHLUG member. It was a hand carved (by the member) foot tall statue of wizard tux from the Think Geek T-shirt, Maddog series. I knew I should have brought my camera! It was really nice. I’m determined to get him to make me something nifty. I don’t know how much it will cost, but he does such great darn work.

As always there was stuff given away to everyone. I was going to get Pam a Ximian Monkey, but then I remembered she has one. Of course now that I think about it, she has a friend that could have used one! The LUG’s get lots of free stuff. There were tons of Ximian installation disks. I just got a cute little squeeze Tux to add to my collection. Of course we all got free candy jar/container from VistaSource. Pretty sweet.

Jerry ended his charimanship. Bruce has stepped up to chair and Paul is Co-Chairing. Oh the excitement. The pain, the fun, the memories.

Now I have to get back to work.
