Is it just me or are the deals really good this year? I have been looking at the flyers and see some stuff that is actually affordable. Now to see if the stores have more than 1 in stock :)

It is almost Thanksgiving and I just want to say that I am thankful for my friends, my family, for my (relatively)good health and that I am employed. I realize that I don't always focus on the positive and I am trying to do better.

ok after 2 urgent care visits and 1 previously scheduled dr appt I finally have meds that are helping with the most painful throat/ear infection ever. It didn't give me a good feeling when the 2nd urgent care dr treated me like I had the plague. And she did the strep test wrong - twice.

Halloween in Vegas was fun and I think I actually looked good, but we forgot to take pics. I did get hit on by one of the most obnoxious men ever.

I have been trying the internet dating thing again and despite one foul up I have been fairly active in the search for a date. Well, I have one next Monday, he seems interesting, is articulate and has manners. So I will see how this goes, and if it goes well I will have a reason to celebrate as I spend Halloween in Vegas if it tanks, well I have Vegas to make me feel better :)

He was signing the book that his character wrote on "Castle". He was very nice, made an effort to speak with everyone as they were getting their books signed. And he is even better looking in person! I got a book for me, one for a co-worker and one for my mom, I mentioned that it was a belated b-day gift and he asked why it was belated, I replied because her b-day had passed so he said "So it's all my fault huh?" and told me to wish her happy birthday. Which I did as soon as I got into the car. Sorry if the pic isn't great, I was trying not to get in peoples way. I think I may be getting some other pics from a very nice person I met while in line.

Hope everyone is well!

We have a new system at work and it is not user friendly, training has been non-existent, and instead of less paper I think the trees have my photo an a Wanted poster. The reports have reports which have reports...Uggh. 11 and 12 hour days aren't fun, but I will appreciate the money. Now I just want to read some happy stuff and get to bed early.

Yippee! So now I have to re-watch Vegas!

Like it, didn't love it, thought the pilot was a bit long,(should have been 1.5 hrs.) but I will keep watching. Artie is great, and Myka seemed to be easing up so I think she'll more relatable as the show goes on. And in the upcoming episodes Joe Flanigan guest stars. Whoo-hoo!

Ok it's time to attempt to sleep since I have to be up in about 6 hours.

They moved the car last night 5 minutes after I changed into pj's. Arrgghh! Oh well.

I had a wonderful day off despite having to go to the dentist and knowing I have to go again next Friday(go regularly less costly and painful in long run). Goofed around with my best friend, finally saw Star Trek(loved it, thought it was great fun and pretty) good dinner, easy drive home and there is someone in my parking space. Not only are they in my space they parked like complete crap(they are hanging out of the space and into the driveway)and they backed in. I'm 98% sure it's the people who normally park opposite me in the covered spaces. Which are empty. WTF? I just left a note saying you are parked in my space please move your car, thanks. I don't think I was rude by doing that. We no longer have an available spare space so I had to park on the street. Uggh, why are people so self centered. Ok bitch over. Hope everyone is having a nice weekend and if you haven't seen Star Trek I highly recommend it.

Sorry if this offends anyone who likes the "Twilight" series, but this vid totally captures why I couldn't finish the series. Clip by Rebellious Pixels. Sorry if it looks odd, this is the first time I've embedded links.


And this is something for all good fans to remember

A very nice co-worker picked up the new Janet Evanovich for me yesterday, so I fixed myself dinner then decided to lounge in the tub.  I used my favorite bubble bath(Lush's the Comforter) and soaked for an hour and read and laughed.  That was bliss.

Well the houseguest is gone, and we managed to get along.  And possibly work out a new job for me if everything goes the way he seems to think it will in relation to his next project.  Actually the job thing could be very cool for a multitude of reasons not in the least the idea that I would be working from home most of the time and could set my own hours. 

The not so cool thing today is I have the flu.  Not the awful coughing one, just the one where it is incredibly painful to swallow and my ears are clogged.  Ick.  I plan on watching whatever I have left on my DVR and snoozing. 

I have a guy friend that I used to be interested in, but am no longer.  He called last night to ask to crash on my couch for a bit.  The last time I had someone stay it was one of my closest friends from hs and we almost killed each other.  I have a tiny 1 bedroom, and he is a neat freak.  I'm not a slob, but I have clutter.  Oh boy this should be interesting to say the least.

Just seeing if this app works. It might be a good idea to read the instructions.

Ok, I went on chemistry.com to see how much it would cost to subscribe since it is time to date again.  I didn't want to get involved with someone while I was dealing with my health issues and I thought I'd clean out my archives, well it turns out the guy who I had been seeing has re-upped his and said that there was no spark.  Ummm...that's not what he said to me.  In fact he couldn't be bothered to say anything and just never contacted me after he said he would.  For some reason, seeing he said that upset me.  I know it's pointless to be upset by it, but I truly thought we clicked.  Now I am doubting myself and that is not a good headspace to consider dating in.  Arrgghhh...I'm not high maintenance, I'm intelligent, have a good sense of humor(so I'm told)and I'm a good friend.  Yes, I'm not a stick figure with fake boobs, but there has to be a man somewhere that is not totally shallow.

Ok, now that I have totally depressed myself I'm going to sleep.

By ants, little ants.  They were first just in the cat food, which as soon as I saw them I threw out the food, cleaned the bowl and gave them more.  Which got expensive since my little darlings eat Halo.  Now they are on the stove.  ICK!  Any ideas on how to kill/make them leave without harsh chemicals?  Thanks!

I donate to 2 causes out of my paycheck every month, one deals with runaways who end up being prostitutes and this place helps get them off the streets.  I worked with them when I was at community college and they are just a wonderful organization.  The other helps parents of developmentally disabled kids have outings and network with other parents and as the kids get older if they are able to, help them get jobs and live on their own.  I donate to them in memory of my brother.  And throughout the year various causes(public radio, eco causes, local causes, animal shelters etc) get  what ever I can.  I don't make a ton of money, but I'm not broke(even if it feels like it) and it's my responsibility to help if I can.  I am trying to find a place to volunteer, but I haven't found the right fit for me yet.

Well I went back to work on Friday.  I was completely exhausted when I got home.  Ran around yesterday and now am tired today, but I have lots to do.  Just no drive to do it.  So I am sitting here re-watching Castle AGAIN.  While I figure out just where I have to go ?:)

It is way too early for it to be this hot.  I have the a/c on, but only to get is to a tolerable temp, not that cool.  I have a followup appt tomorrow and find out when I can go back to work.  The problem is I know as soon as I get back, they will want me to start moving furniture and boxes and even though I am pretty much healed, I don't think I am up for that.  So I'm going to talk to her and see what she says.

On a happy note, my mom and step dad are bringing home 2 rescue kitties today.  They are litter mates and are 10 months old and the shelter was soooo happy that they are taking both because they have always been together.  The woman asked my mom which one she wanted and almost cried when my mom said both.  So I am sure by the weekend the adventures will begin.
