Just an area for what I’m doing on an everyday basis.

A Packed Day

Well, well………what a day off.  Didn’t get to bed as early as I wanted………normal  Then got up early this morning to get Harold off to the airport.  It is weird not having Harold around, but at least I’m working the days that he is gone and it is not a holiday.

After I dropped him, I stopped at the store on my way into town and picked a few things, mainly litter & cat food….the spoiled brats.  Then it was on to home.  I had a friend waiting on me to take care of some business.  It took longer then expected, but then I had to head to the bank to take care of other parts of the business.

By now I’ve totally lost track of time and needed to get some sort of food in me……so a quick stop at bk just for 1 burger to be tossed into me.  And then on to staples, finally got me the new quickbooks program that I needed.   Looks nice, what I’ve seen.  I haven’t been able to dig in to as much as I would like……but I will get my moment.

When I got home, it was to attack more of the same work since the info I had for the bank was incorrect…..icks I finally got all my reports and data entries done for rude.  I still need my do all my receipts…the pile keeps getting bigger.

I’m just so totally overwhelmed……..it wouldn’t be bad at all if I had more time.  I’m enjoying what I’m doing, I just want more time to work on it.

I hate the racism in that comment that Imus made and I hope that it really brings up the double standard that is in hip-hop.  I really love the beat and the rhythms of hip-hop, but I HATE the sexism in it.  That is why Imus thought he could get away with it…..he was a heavy weight and this crap is accepted is in the mainstream hip-hop.  I don’t believe Imus is actually racist and meant it to be, he is a shock jock and thought he was being funny.

As a feminist, I knowledge the racism in that comment he made, but I really see the sexism in it.  That is how hip-hop culture treat their women and it really pisses me off.  I do not like seeing my sisters of any color being treated that way.

One of my favorite hip-hop bands growing up was Salt-N-Pepper, they spoke of sexual and individual empowerment. They didn’t put up with being treated like “hos”…..it was on their terms, strong terms.  That is the hip-hop that I’ve always enjoyed.

Maybe with the focus on race issues, it will help bring attention to this :  Report: Black Men Mired In Social Crisis

This is so sad and as been obvious for years, but no one wants to see it.  =(

This is depressing and needs a moment of silence for the ones who have lost their lives in the worst shooting ramapage in American history : At Least 33 Killed In Va. Tech Massacre

And all is well once more.

On Thursday, the rules oversight panel approved two major timing changes that would revert the rules to what they were in 2005 — stopping the clock on possession changes and not starting it on kickoffs until the receiving team touches the ball.

Some coaches complained the 2006 changes, which resulted in about 14 fewer plays per game, had altered the game too much. Others said it prevented teams from rallying late in games.

Nothing Really Accomplished

At 1st I started the day working online issues. I”m one who likes to slowly get into her day. Plan it out, figure out my priorities….once you got a game plan it makes it so much easier. So starting on things wasn’t the wisest of moves, but luckily for me Harold remembered that I mentioned about actually going for a bike ride or roller staking (he forgot that part).

So we went on a bike ride. We haven’t done that in awhile due to his foot. It felt great to get out in the sun shine and be active like that. But next time, I want to go roller skating. I am chopping at the bit for that…….grin

Even though, I really, really didn’t want to do any damn errands, we did. It was small one…..it still takes time and makes you feel like you got nothing done all day. We broke down and got our blue tooth pieces for our new phones, I got me a wall charger for my Ipod and we picked up some packing tape…..of course, we forgot the can of air and folders that we needed……..icks.

What was extremely nice is that shortly after we got home our stuff from omaha steaks were delivered! Damn, we love that stuff and have been going through major withdraws. With the trip down to Miami, I had put off ordering it. Well, we had steaks for a late lunch and bread chicken stuffed with broccoli and cheese for supper! Then for dessert our apple caramel tarts with byers fried ice cream….I love that ice cream…….mmmmm….if you haven’t tried it, you must!

Let me throw out a question for anyone who has microsoft office 2007, we are looking to upgrade but need to know if it can be uploaded to 2 different pcs. I would extremely hate to have to buy 2 of them for just Harold and I…..it seems to be a waste. I tried looking at their site and I can’t find any of that info. So if anyone knows anything, I would appreciate it. =) Even though I got the feeling we will have to purchase 2 of them.

Alright, lets see if I can get anything else done.

Busy, Busy

Alright, I wanted to write this up and have it posted before midnight, but it was not to be.  I really like having an entry a day so you know that I’m not forgetting everyone.

It was okay today at work, the VP got stuck in another state and won’t be at work until tomorrow.  But that is okay I’m off so it isn’t my worry.  =)
I was able to get out of work a little early and get my nails and toes done.  I had them done in silver with black tips. Funny, I’ve never had them done silver and black, always gold and black for Purdue.  So I why not.

I tried to sit at the desk and do some work, but after dealing with fed ex…….I wasn’t having it.  So I put on my ear piece, called  Sandi and did some work around the house while chatting.  It felt good to get some work done that did not involve sitting.  Plus the huge benefit is the house is in order and it makes it easier for me to concentrate when things are done and in their place.

So now I’m going to do a few things before heading to bed.  My day off tomorrow is a full work day online.
