I’ve been having pains in the back of my neck for about 4 weeks.  I think it’s due to stress as well as sitting in front of the computer for countless hours every day.  I’ve noticed that when I spend time working outside in the yard or cleaning the house the pains seem to disappear.  […]

Yesterday I got home to find the bill from my pool guy in the mailbox.  Good.  He was here to clean the pool.  I opened it to see that I was billed for his regular monthly charge plus a charge for cleaning the filters (ok, they probably needed it) and a charge for a new […]

That’s what Bush is asking us to do with his plan for the war in Iraq.  Seems we’ve already been doing that for how many years now…  The State of the Union was never really addressed, in my opinion, except to tell us everything that needed to be done.  I thought the State of the […]

I’m feeling shitty tonight.  Grey’s Anatomy was extremely depressing and ER is a rerun.  I’ve got way too much to do at work and my house is a mess.  Yet I came home tonight and soaked in a hot bath and then spent the evening playing solitaire on the computer and watching tv. Gotta be an […]

Am sitting here watching the Golden Globe awards and am so bored I am about ready to fall asleep.  Am not all that impressed with the winners or their acceptance speeches.  In the past this was the awards ceremony that was really funny and more of a party.  So far it’s just a bunch of […]

The temps are supposed to get down into the high 20’s tonight.  Don’t know how cold it is right now, but it feels as cold as I can ever remember it getting in So.Cal. Last night I washed the comforter from Murphy’s doghouse so that he would have somewhere to sleep today that was warm […]

Kevin called last night to report that it took him 4 hours to get home from work yesterday–because they had 6″ of snow and it was still coming down!  He had to park his car blocks away from his house as he couldn’t get up the hill due to all the snow and ice.  Fortunately, […]

Had a meeting today at work with one of the reps from the company that manages our pension plan.  He directed me to their website where I could look at the fund where my $$$ are invested.  Turns out I own shares of Google, Microsoft, Lowe’s, Target, and a bunch of other really good stocks!  […]

The weather has been fabulous!  Temps in the mid-80’s and no humidity.  Unfortunately it’s all gonna end tomorrow when a weather system moves in and will drop the temps into the 50’s with the possibility of rain at the end of the week.  Oh well.  It was nice while it lasted. Not sure how January is […]

It started at 1:40 am this morning.  I know ’cause it woke me up and I looked at the clock to see what time it was, not believing that I had only been asleep for two hours.  I thought one of the cats was scratching at something in the bay window.  Instead it was the Christmas wreath […]

Patrick and Veronica came over on the 1st for our pork and sauerkraut dinner.  And then Vanessa stopped by later in the evening for a few leftovers.  Spent most of the day prior to dinner watching the Rose Parade a couple of times.  It was a great parade this year–especially when the rocketman on the Oklahoma float […]
