Mmm

Last night was nice. After dinner we headed to Borders so I could do homeworking and Brian could browse. From there we headed home listening to the debate, and then watched it once we got back to the Watch City.

Its Thursday, is anyone going to goffee? Brian and I were thinking of it, but didn't want to treck out if nobody else is going to be there.

I'm heading to a "Project Pride Employee Focus Group". There's a program here called "We Project Pride" aimed at employee satisfaction or some such nonsense. Whatever, I'll get "points" that I can add up for doing various good doobie employee stuff that translates into more paid time off. For example, for last year's points (attending a couple of meetings) I got 4 hours of paid time off. For not calling in sick at all for a whole year I got 2 more days of vacation time. And it gets me away from my desk a bit. Of course, I need to kick ass afterwards to prep for a meeting that's tomorrow morning.

The leaves look so beautiful outside my cubicle window, and I'll never get tired of seeing black squirrels running on the trees. Did you know that there was a such thing as black squirrels? There are TONS of them here.

I'm glad its almost the weekend. Chilling with Tember, a long drive, nature viewing and shopping in the White Mountains, walking for Breast Cancer and then chilling at home with tea and homework will fill the weekend - I'm a lucky gal (well, except for that homework part)! :)

Tea for Two, and Two for Tea

(quick, name that musical!)

I'm sitting with tea, trying to get motivated. I have a billion things to do, you'd think it wouldn't be so hard. Normally I limit myself to 1 cup of a caffeine thing except for these days that I can't get motivated. Tea helps me center myself and get back to work.

Brian, that group I was looking for that I think my Dad would like is the Transiberian Orchestra http://www.trans-siberian.com/index-main.php . Has anyone heard more of these guys than the stuff they play on radio ads? I think I'd probably like them quite a bit. I think my Dad would too (and would like to get him some CDs for Christmas by them).

Bills are paid and I'll have $ left over for North Conway, whoot! Here's hoping I can knock a lot of stuff off of my list :)

I'm going to start on my mid-term while I sit at Saturn waiting for my car from the oil change tonight. It will be just me, my notebook, my thoughts, some bad talk show on the TV (most likely) and a few other customers sitting there in their own little worlds (periodically looking up at the floor model cars and thinking "hmm, I wonder if I should get one of those for the next one"). Saturn rocks my "its not sexy, but its safe and it runs" automotive world. Now if only I had one of these: http://www.pjsautoworld.com/1970cars/1979chevymontecarlo.html

God that's so sexy! Its not the right color and the tire needs some air . . . but its sexy.
