I'm doing what I do best...procrastination!


Should be cleaning the kitchen, taking a shower, cleaning Kat's room...but I'm here instead!

Bailey is home sick today...he sounds like a toad! He has a nasty chest cold...which means he's fine..til he talks, sneezes or coughs..then he sounds like, well, a toad! So he's in bed playing Lord of The Rings on PS2...

Hubby's on his way home from being in Phoenix for a week...we're doing taxes today..which is always fun because we always get a refund!

Then I'm at school for Valentines Parties..being the room mom is SUCH fun!

At work, cleaned up my laptop of any "non-standard" software, only to discover my Company has finally discovered and shut down my access to webmail. Ok, I guess these guys really want me sending my personal stuff over their network - sigh - it wouldn't be so bad if I didn't have to work for the department that is supposed to be responsible for championing these initiatives.

In the meantime it appears everyone took the day off - a bittersweet stiuation which give me a chance to lazily catch up after my week in Chicago, but makes me feel bored and unmotivated at the same time. There is so much I'd rather be doing right now.

Oh well, time to draft a new to-do list I guess...

After a few days of feeling winter blah-like, I'm feeling good and motivated today.

I have folded a load of clothes and washed another that needs to go in the dryer now. I'm baking an Apple Crisp that should be done in a about 20 minutes. I will then get in the shower and go out to do a bunch of errands; grocery store, bank, library returns, etc. I'll see if my husband wants to go to his fave Mexican restaurant for a late lunch, if not, I'll get take out. Oh, maybe I'll pick up a Banana Cream Pie too (sounds unswanky, but I promise you, it is swank in moderation) at Baker's Square...a little V-Day treat.

A bike ride later might be necessary if it's not raining.

Soooooo glad I have a half day today. I'm totally napping later on.

I hate it when I do that- it always seems to happen when I have to be up early, and have a really busy day going. Here's some wake-up stuff:!

I am going in to do battle with my credit union- try and figure out how they'll blame this latest snafu on us. They used to be very reputable, but they started getting rid of long term employees several years ago, in favor of cheaper (and stupider) labor. It shows in their service, and all the weird account mix-ups we've been having.

Next, I'm probably going to be bank- shopping.

Eric has to work late, so I may just put the lavish dinner I had planned on hold until tomorrow- crab just isn't as good re-heated.

Oh, and it's 'exfoliate the house' day- the animals are all shedding up a storm, and there is a disgusting layer of fur over nearly everything!

Lol- we have three cats, two dogs, four birds and a fish. I love them all, but the fur really gets to me. I have to vacuum (or I should) daily just to keep ahead of it.

I'm enjoying the fact that things are finally working properly here in my test environment at work. These last couple of weeks have been fraught with annoying little roadblocks to getting any actual work done. But I seem to have finally worked all the gremlins out. Plus, my department has finished a complete rework of our documentation procedures, which has just made my job a lot nicer since it's now clearly defined what I'm doing. Things had been kindof aimless for a while, it's nice to actually have some results and somewhere to record them for once.

I'm also drinking a cup of tea, having stayed at Disneyland until closing last night.

tell me about it, those 3 animals of ours are in a 710 sq ft condo!

Thankfully we just got tile floors in our living room/dining room / kitchen, so we can sweep and swifter that pretty easily, but the pain is the bedroom carpet and the bed... the cats sleep on the bed, and never leave, except for the litter box and to eat, so needless to say, we have cat sand all over the place... also, our vaccuum is broken and we need a new one...
