This year.. I received my first Rising Star award at work. (Oh, I’m receiving one for 2004 too!) We were approved for a mortgage. And after 7 years of apartment living, we bought a house! …which I almost burned down…

Noblesse oblige
I’ve just spent 48 minutes fixing other peoples’ mistakes on the website. When the holidays come, jobs get carelessly phoned in, and the result CAN look something like this: (link only good for 7 days). Naturally, I’m the one who…
Whoa!
I read Fark.com. Today, I was commenting on a thread, and I realized that somebody bought me a month-long subscription to Fark’s paid site…totalfark! The subscription started on 12/25. I have no idea who was so secretively nice, but thank…
Christmas Wrapup
I can’t believe it’s over. I wait all year for Christmas, I get one measly day off and it’s done. Christmas Eve we went to my cousin Sue’s house. She had “Seven Fishes” Christmas Eve dinner, which is a tradition…
All is calm
Thor’s parents are here, and all is well. In appreciation of their visit, Max crapped in the dining room. Lovely dog. Really. (rolls eyes) I’m dismissing myself shortly. Nothing to do here, except surf the web. So in case I…

Oh by gosh by golly
It’s been a while, so I wanted to show you what we’ve been doing here at Chez LadyGypsy whilst I’ve been not blogging and not baking. We have a guest room! It’s a spiffy, relaxing blue room, with a few…
Annual Review (self)
I gave a 45 minute presentation to our sales staff today. The digital projector needs to cool before I can put it away…so it’s a good time to jot down my thoughts. I’ve been at my “Junior Management Executive Barbie”…
Doin’ that little East Coast Fling..
I added Boyz II Men’s MotownPhilly to my workout list. I still remember the thrill I had when I first saw the video and saw them singing and dancing infront of lots of great Philly locations. (And Genos..not Pats) Today…
