Have a great New Years Eve everyone!

Why the sun is shining, and baby, it's cold outside. It must be Christmas Eve!

Why did the rain and clouds follow me from WA to UT?

Happy Friday everyone! Only 8 more days until Christmas.

Leaving for Iceland, London and Paris tomorrow for 10 days, and it's my first time to Europe. :D

Harry Potter premiere tonight, and I will be there, complete with my HP glasses and Gryffindor wear!

Leaves for Iceland in 6 days! Time to go jump in some hot springs and possibly a volcano. ;D

Go UTES! Go thump those Fighting Irish.

Happy Veterans Day and thanks for all those that have and are serving our country.

Ultimate Base Jump

Since I will be driving down to Portland tomorrow for a friend's wedding, I wanted to say today, "Go UTES! Go do some stompin on 'dem Horned Frogs tomorrow."

I'm not sure what to think of this. I just went to the lady's room at work and on the bathroom mirror were the words "14 buttons replaced by your body," which was advertising for the Kinect. That's a first - advertising via the bathroom mirror.

Happy Decision Tuesday! Make sure to get out and vote today.

Happy Halloween to all!

Go UTES! Go fly over Air Force.

Is very much looking forward to this Halloween weekend.

Chicago is a cool city which I would like to visit again, but nothing beats home sweet home.

Rally to Restore Sanity - Announcement

I so wish I could be in DC on 10/30/10 to attend the "Rally to Restore Sanity," and "March to Keep Fear Alive."

I've heard it's going to be a long cold and snowy winter in the Seattle area and will be installing heat tapes on the pipes around my water heater, as they froze last year. I hope I don't wind up burning the house down.

t's Glee time! Bring out your inner gleek.

Happy Tuesday 9/14 everyone!

It's a good Saturday - helped disinfect a preschool classroom this morning, lunch with friends, errands and yard work this afternoon, and dancing 2nite.

Happy post-Labor Day! Remember, wearing white pants is banned for the rest of the year.

Happy Labor Day!

Psycho cat #1 (Fred), who brought in a large dead shrew into the house this morning, bathed with only one large scratch on the arm incurred, check. Two hours until paragliding in Issaquah, check. Happy Friday and Labor Day Weekend everyone!

You too can own your own private island. If I only had $13.5M. :)

s trying to clean out a hill in my front yard that is full of weeds for planting bushes and flowers, and is finding the strangest things, such as tennis balls, pieces of asphault, a rusty disk from a metal grinder, and old fence posts buried three feet down. I wonder what the original owner of the house was doing. If I keep digging, I'll either find a dead body, treasure, or a tunnel to the other side of the world.

Good morning Friday - it's been 7 days since I last saw you

Today's word of the day from work: "Rentension"

My quote that I borrowed from someone else for today, "It takes rain and sunshine to make a rainbow."

Very interesting chart from the London Times - take a peak to see what the US in number 1 in. http://ping.fm/nsSrf

I was reading that U2 may cancel their planned tour this summer, due to Bono screwing up his back. That's a real bummer, especially since I purchased tickets to their June concert in Seattle.

Shh - nobody tell me what happened in the Lost series finale. I will be watching it 2nite.

Lost series finale tonight - is everyone excited? Will the two timelines merge and that will be the end of the universe? Will Hurley discover that while he was gone, his parents secretly invested all of his money in Apple or Google and now he is a billionaire? Will the smoke monster finally leave the island, but find that he will be reincarnated as a penguin in Antartica?

Today's tidbit:
Q. If you were to spell out numbers, how far would you have to go until you would find the letter “A”?
A. One thousand

Happy 30th anniversary of Mount St. Helens blowing up.

Ah, Friday, my favorite day of the week. It's beautiful outside, and I'm going to have fun planting the funny grasses that I bought at Home Depot last night after work, and 2nite is Iron Man 2. :D

Happy Mother's Day!

April is National Mathematics Month, and the theme is Mathematics and Sports. Question: Can a jump shot be made with an initial angle of 30 degrees?

I've started to wonder where my weekends have went. Only 4.5 hours of meetings today, then spending the night at Ensign Ranch with friends. Tomorrow - Alice in Wonderland in 3D, obtaining passport photos, cleaning the house, and dancing in Federal Way. Sunday - church and work. Monday - back off.

Hey, Glenn Beck attacked you - yes, YOU - on his show!

Welcome spring and spending $40/month on the kitties flea medication - you've gotta love all the small and large critters of western WA.

There is sunshine in my soul today!

"Look out, Golfers, Tiger is back" headline on the MSN Homepage - personally, who cares. Maybe I should start playing golf in the masters.

I don't typically like to speak on the topic of politics, but I am so ready to find an abandoned island in the Pacific, maybe next to the Lost's island, and form my government.

A bright and glorious Saturday is beckoning. Great outdoors, here I come.

Naval Academy Halftime Show - pretty awesome! http://ping.fm/V5UO4

Is it sad that I enjoy listening to "Prairie Home Companion" while at work, or just strange?

Good morning Saturday. I awoke to seeing my cat Fred attacking a black streak on the wall (silly kitty). Now it's time to clean the house, clean the fish tank, construct two bookcases for my living room, watch "Dear John" with a friend this afternoon and go ice skating this evening.

Happy Valentines Day and Lunar New Year!

Happy Valentines Day weekend and Vancouver Opening Ceremony tonight. Let the games begin!

One way to relieve my stress for the workday - throw on the headphones and listen to "Phantom of the Opera" from my iPod "Showtunes" playlist.

Ah, Friday.

I preferred this definition of "Melissa" on urbandictionary.com: "A very beautiful person inside and out."

Finally, the return of Lost -- time to become more lost than ever.
