Workin for a livin’

Posted on

I didn’t realize that the Friday Five decided to grace us with its presence this week …

1. What do you do for a living? I’m a Billing Analyst.

2. What do you like most about your job? It’s easy.

3. What do you like least about your job? It’s tedious.

4. When you have a bad day at work it’s usually because _____… Some dolt was getting on my nerves or there wasn’t enough work to do to keep me from checking the clock every two seconds.

5. What other career(s) are you interested in? I’d rather be doing a more varied set of tasks, and working more closely with computer systems and the like. Hell, I figured out how to rid my machine of a bunch of parasites and the like without getting I.T. involved. Now how I got those parasites to begin with is another story altogether. ;)

Or I’d like to work as a photographer for a publication and/or assist in magazine layouts. I think I have a good sense of design even though I’m not exactly what you would call creative.

Sunday Brunch

Posted on

Today’s Sunday Brunch:

1. Are you organized or disorganized? I’m definitely organized. Clutter and disorganization make me anxious. Things need to be easy to find and stored in there proper places.

2. How well can you swim? Pretty good, I think. I enjoy swimming.

3. How often do you fill your gas tank? Approximately once a week or so.

4. Where is your favorite vacation spot? Hmmm … I don’t really have one in particular. When I was younger, it was Indiana Beach, but I’ve grown out of it.

5. What is you favorite animal to have as a pet? I’d love to have a cat or ferret, but with Joe’s son’s allergies, that won’t happen until he’s older and not staying with us every other weekend.

Monday Madness

Posted on

Here’s a new meme I found on another site that looked interesting (at least this week).

Monday Madness:

1. What was your favorite TV show as a child? There were a couple, but the ones that immediately come to mind are Tom and Jerry and Knight Rider.

2. What show did you hate? The Partridge Family. I liked watching the opening sequence with the birds and then I turned it off. I also wasn’t very fond of The Brady Bunch but would watch it if nothing else was on.

3. What show did your family gather around the TV to watch? Gee, I have no idea.

4. What show is currently your favorite? There are only two shows I must see every week, one of which already ended, and the other ends this May – Sex and The City and Friends. So sad. I also look forward to The Newlyweds and South Park.

5. What show do you hate now? As in what show did I once like that I dislike? Well, it’s no longer on the air, but Ally McBeal. Also Felicity and Party of Five really started getting on my nerves too before they were cancelled. I just had to keep watching for some reason, so I was glad when they pulled the plug. As for “new” shows, I don’t like Big Brother, Survivor, The Bachelor or any of those reality shows.

Chai Tea and Sunday Brunch

Posted on2 Comments

We tried the following today at Starbucks (description taken from their site): “Tazo Chai Black tea blend with exotic spices, steamed milk and honey. Taste the flavors of India in this steamed Tazo blend of rare black teas, milk, exotic spices and comforting vanilla.”

It was quite yummy, and with non-fat milk, the grande was only 230 calories, of which I only had a third, so it was a nice low-calorie treat. In fact, it ended up being our breakfast since we were on the go from 7 am until just a bit ago. Now we’re finally unwinding from a day of shopping. We also caught an afternoon showing of Taking Lives which I thought was good. Then we came home, did a ton of laundry, and I decorated for Spring/Easter (may not be religious, but I still like the decorations) and changed the dining room and bathroom theme to something more Spring-like (even though it no longer feels like Spring outside).

Here’s this week’s Sunday Brunch:

What Happens at the Equinox

The calendar says it’s officially spring. Where I live there is still about 18″ of snow on the ground. BUT … I’m optimistic that I can get into my spring rituals soon.

1. Do you get a spring break? Nope. It’s not fair either. Is it any wonder children are happier than most adults? They get two weeks off around Christmas, a week in Spring, and the whole summer. And what do us working stiffs get? An entire 10 work days off a year. Whoopie-dee-doo!

2. Some of us are pretty casual about spring cleaning. Others go to it with a lot of gusto. Which are you? Well, I think I do “spring cleaning” every month ’cause I love to reorganize.

3. Is planting flowers or a vegetable garden on the agenda? If you count planting flowers in pots. Can’t wait to have a house and real garden!

4. Do you suffer from allergies and do they get worse in the spring? Nope. I’m lucky, considering my mom is allergic to everything.

5. How will you celebrate Easter this year? We’re going to St. Louis Easter weekend (Friday and Saturday) so we’re just going to be relaxing on Easter. We’re not very religious, if you couldn’t tell. If we weren’t going away for the weekend, we might have dinner with family.
