November 10, 2003 – morning

Brrrrrrrrr!

It’s 22 degrees out!! Surely it can’t be winter already — it’s not even Thanksgiving yet. Yesterday was the most glorious morning I can remember in a long time. Although it was cold, I took Max for a walk at 8:30 am through the red and orange leaves. Now that some of the trees are becoming bare, more sunlight dapples the ground, and the world seems brighter.

We also started a new online game yesterday — Final Fantasy XI Online. It’s neat starting at level 1 again, and the new graphics card I bought is very drool-worthy. I took a screenshot of my new girl — Astarei — and will post it later. At this rate, I can’t wait to get home and play!

Annnnnnnnd I’ve been purchasing cookie tins and containers for CookieCam 2003. Target had a Michael Graves cookie sheet, and darn if I didn’t buy it. I’m such a sucker. At least the price was cheaper than the caphalon cookie sheet I was going to buy. CVS has ceramic holiday plates on sale for $2.99, so I may grab a few this week. I have grand plans for the cookies this year!

Wt: Don’t go there. Suffice it to say I’m back on my eating plan, and am so sick from eating poorly that I think I’ll be walking the straight and narrow for a while. New goal: To lose 10-15 lbs by the proposed January trip to WDW.
Mood: Bittersweet. This is my boss’s last week. I’ve been working for him for 4 years. I just wrote my entry into his ‘going away’ card.
Work docket: Did Ingle column — still working on greenbar reports. Damon’s out today, so I’m flying solo.
Lunch: Healthy Choice Chicken Parm.
Afternoon: Stopping over Mom’s to look at their computer. Rousing walk w/Max. (hope it warms up a bit by then)
Evening: The gym w/David at 6:20ish.
Dinner: I think I’ll have a Saladworks salad or a subway sandwich. Then Final Fantasy!!!!

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.
