Week of.....

Here we are, finally settled in. Settled in but not quite unpacked completely. There are so many things to do and so little time. It's a good thing i'm taking some time off to do this but it feels like i'm getting nowhere fast. I might have to reconsider. For now i'm doing the best i can w/what we have. it was a little bit of a disappointment when we moved in but what can you do. it's gonna be awhile before it starts to feel like home-if ever. we still have the house in sa that we still need to get rid of. there's some work to be done there before it's ready to sell so for now we're going back and forth to get things done.

for now, @ least we've got tv reception. when we called we were told it'd be a week before we can even start to get service but a little persuasion went a long way to change that. same goes w/the internet, which as you can see we are up and running.

At last the new tv season started already. last night was Houseday-it was funny and of course interesting. unfortunately it will be on hold until after some kind of sports thing, but it will be back next month. tonght i'll be watching bones and justice or criminal minds, i haven't decided which one it'll be. tomorrow, though is csi day of course. the thing that really pissed me off is that this hick of a city doesn't have the cw network so i can't watch smallville. god, i hate it here, but oh well what can you do. maybe i can download the episodes or something or just wait until the season comes out on dvd. fridays are definitely dr who days-of course w/captions on cause i can't really understand a thing they're saying. they also moved the original law and order to fridays or we'll see what else comes up. the only worthwhile thing to watch on the weekends is cold case on sunday cause the dead zone is over now. watch for future updates on these and other shows.

i've got a full day ahead so i need to make this short. w/the holidays almost among us i know there will be much to do and say.

Change of scenery

coming to you live from edinburg, tx this is another day in the life of......

so here we are, we are almost "home" yet except home doesn't have electricity yet because the fat cats at the powers that be can't get their act together. actually, fate struck on a friday and the work can't get done for a couple of business days so here we are in a hotel room for a few more days. it's okay, though, i can wait. the only bad thing is that we're still eating out. at least w/all this moving it doesn't have time to settle :) seriously now, everything seems to be settling now. bring it on. all that's left now is to make ourselves at home.

everything is quiet in regards to the family. nothing major to talk about, i guess we can enjoy the quiet while it lasts. now that we live closer. i'm afraid some of the crap will roll this way. i hope not. i kinda enjoy being oblivious to the everyday drama. if i could i'd live far, far away, but hey, what are you gonna do.

i'll be back sooner than you'd expect. since i am currently unemployed, i have some extra time on my hands. of course, there's plenty to do @ home: boxes to open, furniture to arrange and of course resumes to update but all in due time. until next time :)

Still Moving

well, we did it, finished the first trip to get our stuff to the valley. of course, it turned out that we have to do a second trip but that's okay. we are in the process of getting the house ready to sell and hopefully it'll go smooth. next time you hear from me it'll be from a new location to be named later on. in the meantime, i just wanted to take a few minutes to do something every american is doing today, remembering the innocent lives lost five years ago. may the people they left behind be in our prayers not only today but everyday. at least be thankful if your life wasn't personally affected by this.

just finished replying to sylvia's email. as she tells it, they're going to be hiring 2 new people for the job. apparently cristina isn't going to be hired anytime soon. the only bad news she had was that may won't be coming back anytime soon. she had another episode while i was still there and it looks like she might have had a series of mini strokes so the dr advised her to take it easy for awhile. looks like denise is the one doing the audit now. of course, that's not my problem anymore, is it? now i just have to concentrate on moving. now that i'm taking some time off i hardly recognize myself in the mirror, i look so well rested and relaxed :) but it won't last long cuz i'll be looking for another job sooner that you think.

this past tuesday saw the new season of house. it was pretty good. his leg was all better but it looks like the relief was short lived. the end of the episode had him forging a prescription for vicodin again. oh well, old habits die young. i just hope i remember to watch last season's finale of csi. word has it that sarah and grissom hooked up. i missed it the first time around so i hope i remember to watch it before the new season begins.

The End of an Era

So where was I? Oh, yeah, guess what's actually new? it's actually raining outside. yep, the first rain in i don't know how long. the good news is that at least the temps below 100. anyways, onto more important things than the weather......last wednesday was my last day @ my job. hello freedom. well, @ least for awhile. we are in the process of relocating. we've already spent too much time in this town. onto new places and faces we go. we've spent the week packing and cleaning and cleaning and packing and the ghost of jobs past behing us. by next week we should be settled in. i might be gone for a few weeks until we're connected again (says the one that posts once a month) :)

might as well mention this now: to all you trekkies out there...........put on your vulcan ears and join me in celebrating 40 years of star trek. i so enjoy saying this because i am not your typical trekkie....i'm a married female...enough said. but anyways, here's to many more years of trek adventures...yes, i know, there are none currently in production, but dammit i can dream, can't i? ok, i'm calm now......until there are new adventures on the horizon, i enjoy watching the reruns even if they are on Spike TV.

as ya'll probably hear over and over and over again by now, we'll be observing the 5th anniversary of sept 11 soon. join me in a moment of silence for those unfortunate souls who were affected by this event....

okay, enough of that. How about that Steve Irwin, huh? looks like his lifestyle finally killed him. poor guy, though, @ least he had fun doing what he liked.

With the start of a new month we have the start of new seasons on tv. tonight, for example, we have the season premiere of House.....yeah....i'm going to throw a big premiere party and the only ones invited are me, myself and i so no, you can't come. hey, too bad that the other shows on cable are done for the season until january but we do what we can.

until next time....
