Cool! Meatloaf is coming to our little town. Tickets go on sale this Friday. Venue only seats about 5000. I love those small concerts.

I had a crappy day. Some of the teachers in our musical haven't been able to make rehearsals lately so we had a meeting to discuss everything and they voted to cancel it. Frick. Everyone sucks!

Bikingmomof3 "Trek-useful tips about construction. Remind me never to have major work done on the house. "

right, let's vow to fix nothing, we will let our houses crumble around us! Just say no to contractors.

I should soon be taking what's called the DSTAT, a test at big-mega-phone company that would qualify me for testing technician, FACS admin or Comtech. This to add to the four applications I've already got.

"Help me Mr. Wizzard, I don't wanna do my job anymore."

I don't know why I didn't study for thise years ago, I've had the books, stuff just never made sense. If I don't pass I can always try again in 6 mo we shall see.

my brain has melted.

[Bikingmomof3]

my brain has melted.

Does this mean everything is finished before your trip?

[Trek420]

I don't think so.

[AllezGirl]

Well, I missed my company Christmmas party, they had it while I was gone...but I got a digital camera and a whole bag of ecofriendly dark chocolate I'd be glad to share.

[KnottedYet]

Your company gave out digital cameras and chocolate?

Mine gave me a gift certificate which will cover almost half the cost of a pair of Brooks Beasts! yay! cuz i really really really need some running shoes.

We get dessert. In the hospital cafeteria.

Our bonus is the stress of directing a primary Christmas concert, with 24 higher-than-a-kite 8 yo's.

[Trek420]

We usually do not get a Christmas bonus.

But last year the co gave out cordless keyboard and mouse so all employees. That's a lot of mice. Of course they are not Mac compatible and...when I tried to give nobody wanted it, the required software was on a floppy, a floppy! Not even a CD, who uses that?

In 2004 we got Christmas ornaments, still have mine somewhere. Nice, pewter engraved with a "Thanks for a wonderful Y2K" from a past president of mega telco....for fun we tried to look up this corporate mucky muck. He's either left the co on a golden parachute or fired for sendng G*d only knows how many Y2K ornaments out.

Wonder what we'll get this year?

mmm Wilbur Buds..... in my former life I spent many many weekends in Myerstown over about a 7 yr period. Each trip usually included an afternoon excursion to Littitz & to visit the Wilbur chocloate factory. I half expected to see Lucy and Ethel in the back room there where they demonstrated chocolate dipping.

withm - Let me guess, were you diving at Willow Springs Park? I love that place. It's my nearby get-away-from-it-all place. I mean really where else around here can ya go and dive for a train, airplane, trucks, a school bus, even an outhouse! The little beach area is nice too. Just swim/float around and then lay out on the floating docks... aaaaahh. The water is crystal clear spring water too. Here's a link if anyone is interested... http://www.willowspringspark.com/
I know what you mean about Lucy and Ethel. I get that same thought everytime I go in there.

KG - sorry about the play. That sucks. Cool though about Meatloaf. He's great in concert. Have fun.

Lisa - I guess that means you don't want any Buds? In my world, all chocolate is equally beautiful...

Knot - Melt down is not good. Good thing your about to get a total recharge... just in time. I know you don't need us to tell you to have a blast, it's guaranteed.

CC - Well, we could try and if they melt, you can just stiffen them up in the freezer and have a big slab to eat later. I have your addy so I'll send ya some. Hope you like them.

Trek - I'm predicting you get a phenominally better bonus this year.

AG - digital cameras? Jeez, I've never gotten anything, not even a company party. Very cool. My hospital is giving gift certs this year for some local places. I took mine for a free massage at our women's center. No brainer to me.

Thanks CA ladies for your input on my trip. Very much appreciated. I'll probably go with Oakland. Hey AG - wanna ride Cindy? (oh, c'mon - you knew that was coming... ) So didja call that dude that took you to the show yet? Watcha waitin' for? Go on, you know you wanna!

BMo3 - I'll be leaving here early Sat morning and should be there around noon. Work for you? Oh, the hitch is on and it's correctly installed too thanks to my bro. Yup, gotta love him. Good guy and most importantly, knows how to roll his bill correctly...

Edit: took out the pics. Sorry but I respect his privacy so they are gone.

'night TD.

...If they could get him outside more that would help, but if 1 kid doesn't come with full winter gear then none of them get to go outside....

, just . Punishing a whole class because of the forgettfulness of one, most likely harried, parent?

Set lurk=ON

Noooo! Stay and play! X will send you chocky...

I tend to like lots of the different kinds and flavored ones offered by Green & Black:

(Notice how they list the cocoa content of each type.)

Can you get your mitts on G&B icecream where you are? *wipes up copious drool*



Only 16 days until I see my mtb again! Dear, sweet Tass, I love thee so!

SKnot fixed our printer. Kids a jeeenious, I tell ya! Whew! So happy!

Got my work loaded up on my brand new thumbdrive. (never used one before) Got my paper copies to wrestle with on the airplane. Working on vacation, but hopefully I can get most of it done on the plane and only need a couple hours to finish stuff up later.

There is something wonderfully joyful about RuPaul singing "all I want for Christmas is my breast implants... liposuction... face lifted, I want my face *snatched*... ribs removed" Guess I'm just twisted.

NObody NOBODY can sing "Santa Baby" like Eartha Kitt. Sorry, RuPaul, it just isn't your song.

I've only seen him once when he wasn't in drag. He looked pretty handsome. I just wanna know how he ends up with more cleavage than I've got. (I know, electrical tape... but I don't wanna do that! )

Have a good week, y'all! See ya later!
