New Year’s Eve 2003

Yesterday was a slight improvement — was here only until 3:30. See, I’m a firm believer in an 8 hour workday. I’ll bust my arse to get it all done by quitting time. That’s why I get grumpy if I’m here late. The grumpies came home w/me yesterday and I was grumpy to Mom on the phone. 🙁 I basically sat on my duff and let seven hours of VH1’s “I love the 70s” play in the background. 1978 was just starting when I went to bed.

You know, even though I came of age in the 80s, I think I really am a child of the unwashed 70s. Born in 72, after all.

I realized last night that the cough I had since August left me in early November. 🙂 What made me realize? The fact that I’m catching a cold. Blech. That’s ok, I planned on staying home tonight anyway.

My Christmas gift hasn’t arrived yet from Dell. It was ordered under Thor’s name, and I don’t have his password, so I can’t check the status myself. As a result, I’ve been nagging him constantly.

“Did it ship yet?”
“No.”
“Did it ship yet?”
“No.”
“Did it ship yet?”
“No.”
“Did it ship yet?”
“No.”

I know I’m driving him crazy, but if I’m sick on New Year’s Eve, it’s be super cool to have a laptop to play with.

(wonders if she could swing by CompUSA today to get a wireless router and wireless card…)

Went to BK yesterday for lunch to pick up their Santa Fe chicken baguette. Lord was it horrible. Look at the Santa Fe sandwich. The roll? Its as long as a small hot dog roll and only a bit bulkier. My veggies weren’t grilled crispy at all. They had all the life steamed out of them and lay limply beneath the chicken. And the southwest sauce was worse than No Frills picante sauce. Crap. Crap. Crap.

In nicer news, my Horizons scout Caelia hit level 9 scout last night, and is almost a level 9 jeweler. I made jewelry for two guild members last night. It’s SO cool to be able to help out!

Mood: Sedate. It’ll all get done. No need to fret. In any case, this is my last day solo. Thank GAWD.
Work docket: Finishing up online mall now. Contest #2 is 85% done. All I need to do is schedule promo ads on the site. Contest #1 is 75% done. Waiting on prize information so I can email the stuff to the rest of the group. Then I need to schedule ads. I MAY have an OC meeting today, so I’ll have to do the Hit report for last week AND this week. I’m hoping the meeting doesn’t happen. End of Month Values hits today as well.
Lunch: I brought a Smart Ones Lasagna, but there’s no guarantee I’ll eat it.
Afternoon: Who knows?
Evening: Me, Dave Matthews Band DVD, egg nog withCaptain Morgan, a destructive dog, two overweight cats and maybe a laptop?

More bloggitude later tonight, as I look back upon the changes this year has brought me.

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! :)
