Well, my sister called me yesterday and said that her company was throwing away some equiment. My ears perked up, and I was asking questions like what kind ect... It ended up being a 27" lcd panel monitor and a 3.0 gig IBM thinkcentre pc. What a deal. I told her to jump on it and bite anyone that came near her....well not really. She did however put it in her car today and brought it home. After hooking up the monitor which worked perfectly and she already had a newer pc....she graciously gave me the pc. wooo hoo. So I'm now the proud owner of a new...or like new pc. I have been trying to decide on what to do with it since it is a very small footprint desktop. My lil brother really needs a new pc and I'm thinking of fixing it up for him. It will bring a smile across his face..for sure. Today was quite a busy day at work, playing catch up abit. I'm glad tomorrow is Friday, I have so much to do around here at home. I'm kinda drifting abit as I write this...it has just been a long day. I hope and I'm sure that everyone at FC is having a great time. I hope everything goes well. Well it is off to bed and in hopes tomorrow brings wonderful things.
big bear hugs

| A New Year? |
[Jan. 18th, 2007|03:22 am] |
I hope everyone had a great holiday. Tom acutally came down to see me, I was wondering he really wanted to, I know I was glad to see him. Christmas was very hectic, and with the driving to and from the airport it made it abit tiring too, there was so much going on. 12 hrs on the road was alot, I'm sure for him too. My family wasn't sure if he was comming or not, heck I wasn't sure until the last minute. Oh well...it was nice seeing him and I care for him more than he knows.
After Christmas it was only 3 days back to work till I had an opportunity to go on a Carnival Cruise to the Caribbean. Wooo hooo. I was so excited, I told Tom that I wish he could have went....and I was very fortunate to be able to go, as it was only thru the auspices of a friend. The food was hard to imagine, as if you could only eat about 8 times a day...I thought I would explode. The shows were lots of fun, the sun was so warm, ports of call were so different and it was so welcomed. The 7 days went by so quickly, I took picutres, I filmed...I ventured in Belize to Mayan ruins, it was awsome. It was also much needed. It was so nice to be around people, and have some fun. Completely different than what I was used to, or was expecting. Now, back to reality I suppose and work and life, or lack there of. Maybe as I have said many times before...start posting abit more here. It just seems difficult finding time and being motivated or both.
I wish that I was joining everyone at FC...yet another year that I won't make it. I was really looking forward to it, seeing old friends and love catching up on things...seems I've been out of touch with some.
Currently single and looking, maybe this year will be my year to find love, or close faxcimille. Friends are nice and welcomed, but it grows old living here alone with out a partner.
This year has started off with a bang, and has proved to be a year of 'firsts' for me. I am hoping that it continues to prove to be the same for the rest of the year...well firts that are good anyway (chuckles).
Who knows maybe even a regular posting on here, that would earth shattering.
take care

We are having our yearly evaluations today. I really hate these things, and they usually go well, but just all the tension that leads up to them, and just found out we are having them...so here goes...wish me good luck. |

This weekend has been an interesting one, as I have been down visiting a good friend. He is finally retiring after 22 years of service. His church family held a great party for him, I was happy to have a small part in that, a priviledge actually. They had arranged a great dvd for him, instead of getting cards...he has a great dvd of pics and personal messages. Today, we were cleaning out his basement, ohh my what do ya do when going thru 22 years of memories. LOL...ya toss LOTS of it!!!! *chuckles* a very exciting weekend, but always good in helping a good friend. |

Anthrocon was great this year, once again. Meeting new folks and continuing old friendships and having fun. I'm hoping to do a bit more of an update on Anthrocon and also change a few things with myself as well. I'm hoping to post more in my live journal in hopes of meeting other bears in the fandom as well as other bears period. |

My allergies were working me over this weekend. I was just feeling terrible, but thankfully I'm feeling much better now. I had been trying to get my new parts together of my new pc, a athlon 64 3400 with a gig of corsair ram and a nice snazzy case...whoo hoo. So nice to have a fast computer, compared to my old Athlon 800. Poor thing probally just wants to rest now. Oh and yesterday was so beautiful, as my allergies were subsiding abit I was able to get out and enjoy the day. Went antiquing abit and just general bargin hunting. Lots of fun. Seemed everywhere we went the stores were closed or closing as it was kinda late when I got out yesterday. In general it was a good day, and watched Desperate Housewives for the first time. It was so funny and mean...heh I think I'll have to try n keep up with it. I'm hoping the rest of today is eneventful and unlike this morning when I saw a friend along the road and as I passed he called me on my cel telling me he had a flat tire. I came back around and helped change the flat and then made it on into work. So here's hoping that I'm not the next one on the side of the road needing assistance. |

My darn connection at home is erractic and I'm having troulbe connecting. I've contacted Sprint, but they say it is inside....hoping to meet some friends for dinner tonight. If that falls thru it is back to the cave, and much needed cleaning :) |

Whew....it has been very busy, average stuff here at work with installs and all the faculty comming back to school. Whining about what they need or what have forgotten their passwords. The tell of what they did or didn't do over the summer, as they were away from work. Vacations they had or just working around the house. Wanting us to feel sympathetic for them as they scurry to get all their things together for classes next week. Then in the evenings being abit busy as well is just starting to catch up with me. I'm really hoping that I don't have anything to do this evening, work wise anyway.
Hopes n dreams of that daddy bear to sweep me off my feet n take me away....ahhhhh |

Had a fun weekend. Ursa came and visited for abit, he didn't arrive till Saturday nite around 7:00 and was abit tired from driving. We went and had dinner and I was REALLY wanting to go see some local guys at a BBQ that I had been invited to, but I refrained cause the bear was so tired. The guys who had invited us said that they wish we could have made the party, but understood why we couldn't come. I'm hoping to make it to another one of their get togethers and just meet some local guys. We had a great Sunday too....we saw... "The Village". It was a great movie....I acutally figured out the little twist in the plot...yayyyy. Later we went to the driving range and hit a round of balls. That was lots of fun, and quite funny. We then got a pizza and went home and watched Brother Bear. All in all it was a fun weekend, it was nice having someone around just to talk with, and espeically hang out with. |

Getting kind of geared up for the weekend, although I have to clean abit. Ohh and mow the yard....weeee not really, more like "whines" heheh. Considering it takes over 3 hrs to mow. All in all it should be a fun weekend hanging out abit with friends and maybe going to a bbq. Bears like to eat :)
I'm hoping to see "The Village" sometime this weekend. It looks good, I hope so anyway.
Just trying to get in the swing of updating this abit more... |
