So here I sit at the end of my work day. Okay so, almost - half hr to go.

Eating a cookie that was forced upon my desk. It's a delicious cookie but I so don't need to eat another one.

It's snowing outside and it's staying on the ground. It's beautifully sad to look at.

I want CHRISTMAS!

Seriously, I could go for a tall glass of eggnog while sitting in the living room surrounded by Christmas lights, the smell of pine and candles while music plays in the background.

*sigh*

But here I sit, blogging instead of working while my officemate/boss plays Christmas music. (Of which I have no objections, it just makes me really long for the Holidays)

Sending faxes.

I just can't get enough of jBlast.

Love photography? Then you will love this cool gadget! Seriously, this is darn awesome!
(Sad part is, currently only available in the US)

Before we even start to tell you what this thing is, we have to tell you: it’s amazing, we LOVE it, and it makes us feel like we’re living in the future.


Also, let us answer up front, with a dandy little mini-FAQ, what you’ll soon be asking:
Q: Is this really as awesome as it sounds?A: Yes. Maybe awesome-er.
Q: Wait, are you serious? Is this for real?A: You betcha.



With that out of the way… the Eye-Fi Wireless memory card adds Wi-Fi to any camera that uses SD memory. It’s orange. It looks like a normal SD camera memory card. It holds 2 GB of photos. And it wirelessly uploads your photos to your computer and to Flickr or one of 16 other photo sharing sites.



We always dreamed that someday, we’d merely turn on our cameras and all our photos would be invisibly downloaded to our computer and uploaded for our friends to see. It’s someday.

No buttons, no antennas, and no wires. Just modern technological magic.

Thanks to my coworker and kindred spirit Jolene for inspring my post of today (and more to come)

Inigo: Are you the Miracle Max who worked for the king all those years?

Miracle Max: The king's stinking son fired me. And thank you so much for bringing up such a painful subject. While you're at it, why don't you give me a nice paper cut and pour lemon juice on it? We're closed.

Westley from Princess Bride!
(obvious with the blog web address)

And to celebrate, here is a quote and one of my favourites:

Humperdink: To the death!
Westley: No, to the pain.
Humperdinck: I don't think I'm quite familiar with that phrase.
Westley: I'll explain. And I'll use small words so that you'll be sure to understand, you wart-hog-faced buffoon.
Humperdinck: That may be the first time in my life a man has dared insult me.
Westley: It won't be the last. To the pain means the first thing you lose will be your feet, below the ankles, then your hands at the wrists, next your nose.
Humperdinck: — and then my tongue, I suppose. I killed you too quickly the last time, a mistake I don't mean to duplicate tonight.
Westley: I wasn't finished. The next thing you lose will be your left eye, followed by your right —
Humperdinck: — and then my ears, I understand. Let's get on with it —
Westley: Wrong! Your ears you keep, and I'll tell you why — so that every shriek of every child at seeing your hideousness will be yours to cherish — every babe that weeps at your approach, every woman who cries out, "Dear God, what is that thing?" will echo in your perfect ears. That is what "to the pain" means. It means I leave you in anguish, wallowing in freakish misery forever.

For a tall apple picker?!?

"It’s the relationship you spend more time on than any other. It has deepened even during the past few years. When things go wrong, you become enraged and tearful and attack inanimate objects—but you’re willing to spend hours making things right.

Obviously, we’re talking about your relationship with your personal computer.

Consider this: In a survey earlier this year, 64 percent of Americans say they spend more time with their computer than with their significant other."

I had a good laugh coming across this article tonight because sadly, and I will admit it, I spend a LOT of time on my computer. Maybe this explains quite about about my lack of a SigOther..wait, my computer is! Ha, ha, ha!

I'm sad.

Signing off of facebook now. But just for the night.

I pulled my left calf muscle again this morning - three charlie horses in less than a week? Ugh. Maybe I need to drink more milk.

M: " 'Stable', it's stamped on my forehead"
E: "but not the kind with horses in it"

Since I have to wait another zillion months for LOST to start the new season, I've decided to pick up some new shows to watch:

Just another typical day in the office:

Ellen on phone: "...well last year I just turned 30..."
*whispered across the room *
Me: "old lady, ollllddddd laaaadddyy"
-----
Me:"I'm so far ahead a head of you.."
E: "....I won't be able to catch up to you with...my walker"
-----
E: "...sugar lips.."
E: "Michelle is gagging over here"
----
DM: "Do you have a fart machine to scare Ellen?"
----
E: "We've been working like little beavers today, cute little beavers"
---
Me: "Just use the same spreadsheet, it's less confusing and I can cross reference my contacts"
E: "Ha, ha...I thought you just said crotch reference!!"

I am suffering from bowling arm, and well bowling leg too.

You know you need to get back to the gym when two days after playing a couple rounds of bowling leave you stiff like an old lady.

Or maybe I'm just an old lady :P

(But who won the first game and second place by a fraction in the second game? I'm so darn proud of myself )

I'm cranked out right now.

I was happy two seconds ago.

UGH.

I'm tired, annoyed, peeved, frustrated.

I'm tired of so much and tired from so much.

I want to be a kid again.

I should have worn my AAARRgyle vest today.

Happy "International Talk Like a Pirate" day!

I'm not the most thrift-est person in the world but I scored pretty awesomely this past weekend.
I bought this dress for...




















$1.11 including tax.
Yup.
No lie.
I rock.
Actually Old Navy does and their 97 cent rack.

"February Song" Josh Groban

Where has that old friend gone
Lost in a February song
Tell him it won't be long
Til he opens his eyes, opens his eyes
Where is that simple day
Before colors broke into shades
And how did I ever fade
Into this life, into this life

And I never want to let you down
Forgive me if I slip away
When all that I've known is lost and found
I promise you I, I'll come back to you one day

Morning is waking up
And sometimes it's more than just enough
When all that you need to love
Is in front of your eyes
It's in front of your eyes

And I never want to let you down
Forgive me if I slip away
Sometimes it's hard to find the ground
Cause I keep on falling as I try to get away
From this crazy world

And I never want to let you down
Forgive me if I slip away
When all that I've known is lost and found
I promise you I, I'll come back to you one day

Where has that old friend gone
Lost in a February song
Tell him it won't be long
Til he opens his eyes
Opens his eyes

"Your Are Loved" Josh Groban

Don't give up
It's just the weight of the world
When your heart's heavy
I, I will lift it for you
Don't give up
Because you want to be heard
If silence keeps you
I, I will break it for you
Everybody wants to be understood
Well I can hear you
Everybody wants to be loved
Don't give up
Because you are loved
Don't give up
It's just the hurt that you hide
When you're lost inside
I, I'll be there to find you
Don't give up
Because you want to burn bright
If darkness blinds you
I, I will shine to guide you
Everybody wants to be understood
Well I can hear you
Everybody wants to be loved
Don't give up
Because you are loved
You are loved
Aaaah
Don't give up
Its just the weight of the world (You are loved)
Dont give up
Everyone needs to be heard (Dont give up)
You are loved (You are loved - Dont give up)

*sigh*

"Awake" has become my favourite album of his.
He rocks my socks.
Seriously, take a listen - you will love him forever!

inspires me to write:
---------

Sunset

The sun drops behind the tress leaving the sky glowing in an orange hue. A sweet breeze trickles into my lungs with every breath. A smell of summer leaving us, the tress already showing some colour. Gone will be the bliss of long summer days and warm evenings.

A Walk in Mount Hope

My feet step to the music in my ear, my pace set by the beat. A smile crosses my face as I feel the happy notes course through my body. The beautiful trees and the tranquility of the place tugs at my heart. I talk to God about my life and throw some things at His feet. My mind wonders like the quiet breeze. A quick glance around I throw up my hands and praise God for who I am. I cry, sweet tears of stress, love and happiness. I stop to inhale and start singing to the tune the keeps playing. A moment passes and my heart feels lighter. I breath in the beauty around me and keep walking. Walking with my Father hand in hand.
