'twas that night

Well, it seems that I get to stay employed for the New Year and that is certainly a gift in these economic times.

It is nearing midnight here at the homestead and all are nestled snuggly in their beds. I am currently stirring but intend to settle down for a long winter's nap.

I just want to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas and hope that all of us have a great 2010!

Merry Christmas To All!!


and to all a good night.

The things that ulcers are made of

Got our computer back but still not sure if it is working correctly. Just thought I'd post so that anyone interested will know I am still out here.

I wish I could say that all is well, but I would be lying. Things at work aren't going well (because of my own stupidity) and I may well be unemployed by Christmas Eve. I would explain myself better, but I don't like to discuss work in too much detail in case future employers google me. It is just one of those convergence of events that lead to dismissal because of policy... because the rules must be obeyed.

Other than that bad piece of luck, Christmas preparations are running smoothly, except for 3 gifts that have yet to appear in my mailbox.

If I don't get back here before then, I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a new and improved 2010!

Anyone have any idea...

... on where I could get my hands on one of these manga display racks that you find in finer book stores.

Only child really, really wants one to hold her constantly growing manga collection.

I have tried googling and such to try to find one for sale or whatnot but have failed in my search. I'm hoping that one of the 3 people who still stop by might have a suggestion...

Well?

Have You Missed Me?

Did you even notice that I was gone?

For the last month and maybe until next year, we are without our NEW desktop computer and are at the mercy of our computer fix-it specialists until our copy of Windows 7 comes in and other problems get worked out. We could hook up our old desktop but I am clueless as to how to program it thru the wireless router.

'Til the new one in fixed or I become a computer genius in my sleep, we are stuck sharing the laptop. Have I ever mentioned that I absolutely HATE typing on a laptop?
Well, I do!!

That I why I have been MIA and will probably remain that way for a while. I just wanted to pop in and let anyone that might stop by know that I am still around.

I hope that your Thanksgiving was a nice one and that the rest of this season and year bring you peace, joy and prosperity.

Due to the computer snafus, I will not be able to offer up the annual Christmas music video... so hum a Christmas song while your reading this post.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Have You Missed Me?
