It Shore Is Monday


This past weekend? Uneventful. I saw the movie Munich. It was very good, but long. Three hours to be exact. Watched football, Da Bears lost, which I kind of figured they would. Pittsburgh won, so that was cool! Hard to believe the football season is almost over. Pretty soon spring training will be starting, and I'll be getting into the baseball spirit, lol.

Another slow day at work today, more of the same. Oh how I wish traffic could everyday be like it was today. There were just enough fewer cars on the road to make my commute very easy. It's very unusual for me to make it home in less than 45 minutes. Tomorrow will be back to normal, I'm sure.

The Weekend's Over Already?


Well, what do you know about that? Seems like the weekend just started and it's over already. Time flies when you're having fun! NOT!

Thursday night was interesting, sorta. My aunt in California called me, because she was worried about my sister, whom several people in my family had not heard from in a while, so I volunteered to call my other aunt in Minnesota to see if she had heard from her. Lo and behold, she had. So all is calm again in California. Although she'd like to strangle my sister for worrying her so. (And wouldn't we all?)

Other than that, I had a very quiet weekend. Watched football mostly, and chatted with Kerry on Saturday for about what 8 hours in MSN? LOL I went for a quick trip to the grocery store tonight, and filled my car up with gas. Prices are going up again, what's the deal? I haven't heard of any refinery problems, or increases in the price of a barrel of oil, so why is gas going up? I also went for a walk this afternoon between football games, since it was about 43F (+6C), pretty warm for January. Felt good to get out and get a little bit of exercise, and I need it after all the gorging I did over the holidays!

I decided to relax in front of the tv tonight, watched The West Wing at 7pm CST, since it's one of the last episodes John Spencer filmed before dying of a heart attack on Dec 16. Then I watched Supernatural, a show about two brothers who are searching for their Dad by going around the country investigating paranormal/strange occurrances. Tonight's episode was a little gory, a plumber got his hand chopped off...n/m, you don't want to know. Anyway, after that, I watched CSI: NY then CSI: Miami, as both shows were delayed due to football running long.

And now that it's midnight, I need to head to bed so I can get 5 hours of sleep, lol

Last College Football game of the season!


I'm watching the Rose Bowl tonight, for the National Championship in College Football in the U.S. The granddaddy of them all, between #1 USC and #2 Texas. It's been quite a game. It started out slow, but in the second half it has picked up quite a bit and is looking to be a showdown! I hope Texas wins, only because USC has won the National Championship the last two years. I could only hope for MY team to make it to the BCS Championship game someday...sigh!

Today was slow at work, which is exactly how I expect it to be for the next few months. If anything interesting happens there, I'll tell you about it, otherwise assume same ole, same ole.


It's almost midnight, the game is finally over...Texas came from behind and won 41-38!

Short and Sweet

I'm making this blog entry earlier than normal, hopefully won't be too long. I have a football game to watch tonight, GO COWBOYS!

The weekend was pretty quiet. Didn't do too much. Except resign from streaming, lol. Surprised a couple people, that's for sure! I have no plans to start streaming anywhere else right now, just taking my time and figuring out if it's something I want to continue doing. I do enjoy chatting (at the right place with the right people), and I do enjoy streaming when I know people are listening, and there are chatters actually chatting. Otherwise, it's boring as hell.

With my free time this weekend, I ripped all my cd's I had bought that were stacking up next to my computer. Then I sent most of the music to Kerry so she has it now too. I'm still working overtime when I can get in early or when I feel like staying late. Tomorrow will be hard, with the football game lasting till at least 11pm tonight, but I'll try! The next song on the Ryan Shupe cd is called "Oh How I Miss You." What I like about this, is it's got a different beat and style to it, there are brass instruments in it, which you don't normally hear in a typical bluegrass band. The music almost has a tropical island feel to it.

Oh how I miss you
Wish I could kiss you
Hug you, hold you
It would be bliss to
Look in your eyes see
They mesmerize me
And leave me with nothing to fear

When I see you're beside me,
The whole world disappears
I want to be your one and only,
I want to share you hopes and fears
And cares and laughs,and all your dreams and everything in between
If you would let me be the one

Oh how I miss you
Wish I could kiss you
Hug you, hold you
It would be bliss to
Look in your eyes see
They mesmerize me
And leave me with nothing to fear

Well I knew when I saw you
That we would always be
And it's true that I love you
With everything you hear and see and feel and know
How could you leave, I'm not a fool but I believe
That fairytales happen sometimes

Oh how I miss you
Wish I could kiss you
Hug you, hold you
It would be bliss to
Look in your eyes see
They mesmerize me
And leave me with nothing to fear
With nothing to fear

Oh how I miss you
Wish I could kiss you
Hug you, hold you
It would be bliss to
Look in your eyes see
They mesmerize me
And leave me with nothing to fear

Oh how I miss you
Wish I could kiss you
Hug you, hold you
It would be bliss to
Look in your eyes see
They mesmerize me
And leave me with nothing to fear

Oh how I miss you
Wish I could kiss you
Hug you, hold you
It would be bliss to
Look in your eyes see
They mesmerize me
And leave me with nothing to fear

Look in your eyes see
They mesmerize me
And leave me with nothing to fear
