October 27, 2003 – morning

Hello! Blogging LIVE from…work. Well, that’s boring…

Due to nasty weather in Atlanta, both of our flights were delayed an hour. After picking up Max from Mom’s we didn’t get settled in at home until after midnight. I didn’t really sleep on the flights, as they were both very turbulent.

And yes, I’m here at work. It’s like I was never gone. After 8 days at Walt Disney World I half-expected to be smacked by a stroller while walking across the parking lot this morning.

David’s off this entire week as well. Hmpf!

Wt: 148.8. Sweet merciful crap!!! I guess it is a bad thing to have ice cream sandwiches (made with gooey bakery chocolate chip cookies) for breakfast. (sigh) Nose to the grindstone, Lady…
Mood: Sleepy, but it’s nice to be back.
Work docket: To be honest, I have no clue. I did the Ingle column. There was a Voter Guide due to come out last week, but I don’t see any trace of it. Not surprising, since I’m the one who rigs that stuff up. Have to check w/Damon to see if anything was given to us. My boss’ name is still on his parking spot — so I assume he didn’t take/didn’t get that other job. I’m sifting through over 1000 emails in my box. Most of them are spam, but I still root though the deleted folder incase a coworker sent me something with any of my filter words (porn, refinance, viagra, etc) in it. You never know.
Lunch: Veggie delight at Subway. Diet coke. No exceptions
Afternoon: Take Max for a rousing walk. Go to the gym
Evening: Collapse. I mean, unpack and do laundry.

Max: He hasn’t made any strides with housebreaking, so we’re going to crate train him. I’m bummed about it, because I never liked the idea of crating. But it’s supposed to work, and it may help with his other behavioral issues. We’re also going to take him to obedience classes. Poor dog. He’s messed up. Sometimes I wonder if I was too rash in deciding to adopt him. :/

The future: Now that vacation’s over, I have some real-life things to attend to. I need to finish up this Perl book and knock out that resolution. Cookie Cam 2003 launches next month! Eeek!

And in case you care, Phil “Arcade-Stealer” Mickelson finished tied for 30th in the Funai Classic. I don’t think I’ll go back to WDW while that golf tourney’s happening in the future. I found that most of the guests that were affiliated with the event (you could tell — they were wearing ID tags) were rude and easily irritated. I’ve been to WDW during the Grad Night events, and had less of a hard time.

Hello!

About Me

I've been blogging for over twenty (2 decades! 2-0!) years and I'm apparently one of the few over-50 female bloggers who haven't sold out to THE MAN yet; hence this blog remains quirky, homespun, and unprofitable. No big. However, if you're from Disney, Doritos, or Dave Matthews Band, I'm open to talk about selling out.

I live in Southern New Jersey with my husband WM, and our dog Murphy. I'm an adult who likes Disney but not a Disney Adult. I used to work a fun (really!) office job in Philadelphia, but since March of 2020 I'm a work from home hermit. So if you're looking for a childless, slightly round, marginally boring GenX woman's blog to follow, you've come to the right place! :)

Well, that happened.
