Category Archives: Everyday Stuff

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

A Hard drive…..finally

Alright, where to being……

My hard drive took a dive while Harold was reformatting it & I have been without since Thursday until last night. So that is why I haven’t responded to emails. =( I may try to knock a few out tonight……..but don’t hold your breath.

Those are the major announcements. =)

Otherwise I have been just working like crazy this week. Cheryl had to go to a seminary this week so that made me the head nut of the nuthouse…………lol Of course, it was the week of the big set up. So that made it much more interesting. The only real issue was one person not doing their job fully like they should’ve and doing it when we had an outsider helping us out. =(

I’m actually pretty proud of how the week went overall on projects. Of course, the weekend that I’m heading out of town is the weekend that we are having a store meeting. There was somethings I really wanted to be there to address, but it sounds as if Cheryl has it covered & things will be changing for the better. =)

I still can’t fully bend my finger, hurts bad. I don’t know how long it takes a fracture/broken finger to heal….it has been almost 3 weeks. I meant to ask dad the other night when I had him on the phone, but I forgot. =(

I just seem to get beaten up at work…..I run into boxes and I try to break my finger…..I come home and find bruises on me that I never knew that I had….crazy….

We are really looking foward to the weekend. Just chilling out and enjoying friends.
I’m really missing my favorite season of fall & then winter is my 2nd favorite (and I don’t mean the kind in Florida……..lol) Fall has the striking colors, the cool, crisp air & you can bundle up and feel good…..I love it!

PC Crap & Doctor Visits

Well……………….this sucks…we had to order a new harddrive for my laptop. =( That is so annoying & on top of it this Monday is a holiday……so that means the earliest to get it is Wednesday.

****FYI, I don’t have my email set up fully! So it means I don’t have full access to my email….Until next Thursday don’t expect to here from me.

Harold has me set up on one of our desktops. Boy, I’m not use to a big screen or monitor on my desk anymore….weird…..

I went to my doctor for some blood work. I thought it was just for checking my sugars but it was also for my choesltra (Sp). I forgot to ask if they had gotten my records from my old doctor. Luckily it didn’t take as long as I was fearing it would.

Cuz after that appt. I had to head over to the foot doctor. He figured out what was wrong with my foot (sharp pains in my left heel), gave some inserts (with instructions not to wear sandals for the next 2 weeks) and a shot in the heel…..OMG!! That was the most painful thing I ever felt…..give me a root canal over that any day (and those aren’t that bad)……hell, jamming finger didn’t hurt that bad. The throbbing is finally going down, but I’m hoping that the overall daily pain will start to leave.

After I finally got home from all of that, I had to head into work for a conference call. Cheryl is taking off for a company seminar & that leaves me in charge of the mad house….lol We have some big projects to do this week and it doesn’t help that they cut our labor to extreme bare bones. Some that is due to fact that we lost 2 stores that were in the path of Katrina. =(

I need to get to bed soon, I have an early day tomorrow. =)

PC Issues

Alright, just let you know why I’m a little more behind on things then usual. We are trying to reformat my laptop. It doesn’t seem to want to. =( I hoping that is works, since we really don’t feel like getting a new hard drive. We’ll see.

That is my quick hello & update. =)

Politics

Watching the Bush speach…….why does it always look like he is smirking? I find him so untrustworthy.

Catching Up

Dad called me the other day to check on my finger & to make sure I was taking care of it right. =) Since I hadn’t gotten to getting a splint (I was taping my finger to another) Ron at work made a splint for me to use, that was so sweet of him. =)

Today was my day off. We had to break down and do the grocery shopping…..nothing like being in a store with annoying people. =(

We did get a bike ride in yesterday before I headed to work & I got some time on the treadmill today. Felt good to get some exercise, I have to work early the next 2 days & won’t be getting it in.

We did get the kitchen painted finally. I’m very happy about that. =) Now the major areas of the house are done, other then putting in new floor trim & painting the old trim. Now we just need to figure out what colors we are going to do for the office, master bed & the spare bath. Once we get all that done we can take pictures for the family. =)

**Warning………Political Vent

How many more Mike Browns are out there?

***Here is some of Bush’s cronism……gggrrrr Nothing like hiring your friends, who cares if they don’t have experience and cost lives, money and security….

Speaking of cronies…………Bush Taps Close Ally For Court

  • Card, in a 2003 interview with the publication Texas Lawyer, said Mr. Bush’s affinity for Miers is clear in the frequent invitations she receives to visit the presidential retreat at Camp David, “a privilege that is not enjoyed by a lot of staff.”

    “She’s a quiet, highly respected force and someone who is seen as not having any agenda other than the president’s,” he said

  • **This is what worries me…….other than the president’s…….she can’t have that agenda…..the Consititution is the document you go by……..not some president’s agenda….gggrrr
