I'm heading out, and heading west. To go play in the snow, and attempt to teach my little sister how to ski. Should be fun :cheersmate:
What mischief and debauchery are you up to?
-
No debauchery today....maybe later tonight, though :naughty:.
No big plans...trying to figure out whats happening this weekend. Trying to meet up with my sister and her family...last family gathering/hurrah before her son goes to Basic Training (he goes the 16th), but she is next to impossible to arrange anything with.
Might go to an Outdoor show (fishing, hunting ,rvs, etc) tomorrow with the boys, if I can find something to do with my daughter.

Having some coffee right now and heading down to the pool for a bit. I tore up a muscle in my leg wednesday night and I'm going to hit the hot tub, which will hopefully help. Hurts like a sonnuvagun.
The heat went out in my hotel room here last night and it was 60 degrees in the room when I woke up. Which is actually pretty comfortable for me but they freaked out at the desk when I asked them to take a look at it. I think I may be getting a room switch or a deep discount today. :)
When I checked in the desk clerk asked me if I was here for the naval graduation (Great Lakes Naval Academy is turning out a crop of squids this weekend apparantly) I told him I was here for a gaming convention and the guy perked right up and started asking me a ton of questions and got really excited about hitting it this weekend. I had to go back down after checking in because the computer didn't like my Master Card/Debit card and I needed to use a "Real" credit card to pay for the suite. They were billing me $165 a night and I hadn't really realized it till I asked. I asked him about a AAA or Hilton Honors discount and he told me that the rate was way out of line and hit a few keys and told me that he had adjusted it to $79 bucks a night! I thanked him pretty profusely. He said he wouldn't have known about the gaming con if I hadn't told him and that it was the least he could do. Being a geek saved me a ton of money. :-)
Gonna soak in the hot tub for a while then head over to the convention and pick up my registration crap and do some shopping. Sunny and warmish here today in the outskirts of Chitown.

Been doing reports since 7 this morning...2 left to do.
Sun is out, going up to around 50 today....60's this weekend! Which seems really weird since there is still snow on the ground....
I'm feeling the urge to do some spring cleaning/organizing.......I better go take my temperature....I must have a high fever..... :thatsright:
-
I went to bed early last night and am well rested today. It's currently cloudy and 59 outside.
I was pretty busy at work yesterday and I think I'll be busy today as well. I started the proceedings yesterday to file a mechanic's lien against a vehicle.
I'm gonna have to work here tomorrow, to make up my hours for being off on Wednesday. :( I was supposed to work at the real estate office this weekend, but the other lady that does the weekend duty switched with me. Hopefully time will go by fast tomorrow.

Me too deb, me too. But, I'm just going to ignore that urge :) haha
Going to see Gran Torino tonight. Looking forward to it. :-)

Guns show Saturday morning, then trying to finish work on my F150 front end, damaged by a deer in November. Finished all the metal and paint work, about halfway through the plastic stuff, with all the light assemblies on hand. Oh, I do have to make one very small bracket, but it's just a piece of strap steel, drilling two holes, and putting a diagonal bend in the brace. Plenty of other outside work to do after that, but I need to get that sucker roadworthy again in case my another vehicle goes down.

I was pretty disappointed in that film - but that's just me.
-
I hope you have a date.
lol Maybe I do, maybe I don't ;) I love the clint eastwood movies. :popcorn:

Aw don't bum me out E! :) My parents saw it and said it's pretty rough, but they enjoyed it. I'm not a chick flick kinda gal, so I like the movies that are more rough around the edges :)

It's awesome you'll love it! :cheersmate: Hopefully racial epithets don't bother you! :lmao:

I'm off work at 11 or so this morning, then it's a trip to Wally World for cake-making stuff. Gotta bake two cakes for church on Sunday - something to do with Valentine's Day. :whatever:
This particular recipe is one that my mother scrounged up from someplace. But it's a killer. It's a date cake (no, not date RAPE, you knotheads :hammer: ). The cake itself is fairly dense and moist, keeps for awhile, and it's topped with a broiled butter/brown sugar/coconut/and chopped walnuts icing that is to die for.
I have a meeting all afternoon tomorrow and I have to prepare a Sunday school class tomorrow morning.
Dang, sounds like I'm a regular thumper! :-)
Oh, I've got a guy coming over this afternoon to take a look at a section of my house that may need some additional insulation.
And I'll probably take the pup for a long walk also.

Went to Dillards to take back a pair of shoes I bought my youngest for her birthday (they were too small) then I thought I would check out their sale stuff. I ended up buying myself two pairs of "Miss Me" jeans (they make my butt look like it is still "up there") and I paid full price because they looked that good. :p
Last night my daughter said she needed something to auction off for "business day". They do Business Day every six weeks, they have go get together in groups and think of something to sell. They then have to make it (there is a cost limit), market it and get all the "permits" to allow them to open a booth. It really is a neat program they are doing at the school. It helps kids understand money, what it's like to make a profit/loss, marketing and what it takes to run a business (of course on a simplistic level). Anyway, they had to figure out something to auction and it had to do with WIND. My husband got a plasma cutter a few months ago so he decided to help her make wind chimes. It turned out so well (it's all rusty which looks really cool because the metal was already rusty) that I want him to make me one. I wish I would have taken a picture of it.
Today is a great day, it's in the 70's and a slightly windy.

Got off early today because I did a lot of overtime this week. Monday is my first furlough day so I get a three-day weekend. :whatever:
I'm exhausted but still found the energy to get in a short run after I got off work today.
Now I'm eating a pizza and sucking down a Pepsi for an early dinner.
Like the nerd that I am, I'll probably hit the hay early since I'm so dang tired. :banghead:

Jen, I was in bed by 9:30 yesterday if it makes you feel better.

I've been playing computer geek all day. All THREE of my desktops crashed yesterday !!! :o One was the onboard video, another was a ghost because it fixed itself, and the third required a reinstall of windoze. Then all of the other miscellaneous programs I need to reinstall....... Almost time for BSG......

Took the kids and their friends to see the movie Coraline. It was really cute, the girls loved it. The only thing that bothered me was my youngest daughter's friend kept snorting through the whole movie. I kept thinking really bad thoughts every time she snorted, I even thought of ways to forcefully make her stop. :uhsure:
She has allergies but good God, don't her parents know how bad her allergies are? Every time I am around this girl she makes the most obnoxious sounds. I asked her if she takes allergy shots and she said no. Then I asked her if she has allergy medicine, she said yes but her parents never give it to her. Her nose and eyes are all red, she looks miserable and she is still at my house....snorting away.

Nope, there is another lame happy hour thread called the "Friday night Happy Hour thread" though.

BEG I am glad to hear that is a cute movie. My kids really want to go to it.
I am in a piss poor mood tonight. I stated that elsewhere. But between all the shenanigans that obama has started and done just pisses me off. Top it off with some hourly wage girl called my office manager directly. Instead of going through me like I have told her THREE times before she called my OM directly and not only did she try to get her to do things that we DON'T do, she told her about a new project that isn't even going to that office. I had to call this hourly girl and tell her to go through me on everything - again - she argued with me! It took every ounce of control to not rip her a new one. Instead I was very nice about it and then I turned around and told her supervisor that her calling my Office Manager is not to happen again. I won't be nice after the third time of telling her this shit.
I did get out with a friend and got a pedicure and went to lunch.
I do have to say I am so pissed about things today I need to let out my aggression...somehow. :uhsure:

Guess I'll have to wait for BSG to come out on DVD. Couldn't find the Sci-Fi channel on the hotel television.
