January 2006 Archives

I am about to "redo" my computer. I usually try to do it once a year but since it scares the shit out of me each time, it has been two years since I have reformatted.

So if you don't see me posting in the next few hours that means it didn't go well.

There is ALWAYS "something" that I forget to backup. I think I have got it covered this time.

Maybe when I get back I will even get this "Holiday Skin" changed.

Wish me luck. See ya on the flip side!

UPDATE!

I am back in business. At least I have an operating system on my computer. Now comes the "fun" part of loading all the software that I use regularly. Woo hoo! What a great Sunday afternoon!

Baby Z made her first appearance at 3:13 pm (not positive exactly) on January 18th. She weighed in at 8 pounds even and was 20 1/2 inches long. She has a little bit of blond hair and is quite cute as you can see. Mommy and Daddy are doing fine.

I was going to go over and get some more quality snuggle time this afternoon when they head home from the hospital but I have an awful head cold. So no baby for me today. I may have to get one of those surgical masks so I can go over on Friday.

This year is whizzing by!

We took a quick trip to Laughlin. (mini Las Vegas for those who aren't from around here). Hubby did some computer work for some friends and they gave him two nights free at the Ramada Express. We planned it early in the month rather than later because we didn't want to get a phone call saying that "Little Z" was on her way into the world. We were safe. She hasn't arrived yet.

We didn't come home rich but we did come home with some of our gambling money left, so we feel like we were winners. We were up sitting at the blackjack table at 4am one morning having a "lucky streak" and were amazed that we were coherent enough to play cards.

"Little Z" is not actually due until the 20th of January, but word has it that she will be coming a bit early. If she hasn't popped her head out by Tues. night, she is going to be coaxed out. So by sometime Wednesday, there should be another little rugrat in the world that I will call granddaughter. Woo Hoo!

Off to watch the "NEW SEASON" of "24". Another WOO HOO!

Wow! Am I tired!

Little K (grandaughter) spent the night on Wednesday night and I am about dead.

The fact that she spent the night is nothing new. She has spent the night here once a week since she was 6 weeks old. I love it! But ...

She is almost 11 months and is developing quite the mind of her own. She has decided that unless she is being held, that she is NOT going to go to sleep. You see, I think that is the way it is at home. (no matter what they tell me) I have no problem rocking her and cuddling while she is drinking her bedtime bottle. That is some of the best moments of my day and she usually falls asleep by the last slurp. The part that I object to, is when she wakes every hour or two and wants to be cuddled until she falls back to sleep. No more just plugging her pacifier in and back to bed.

Then to top it off! When I did get back to bed, Grandpa is sound asleep, snoring away at top volume and I can't get back to sleep.

Well, 4 hours sleep doesn't work for me anymore. Jeez, it wasn't THAT long ago that I was up until dawn, was it?

It's now Friday and I still want to take a nap.

Now, I am all for a good cup of coffee.

I love the smell of coffee brewing and I love my first cup of coffee in the morning. I'll spend the $4.50 for my Carmel Frapuccino's during the day. I even have Gevalia Coffee sent to my door each month to the tune of is $7 for 8 ounces. Coffee is addicting.

But would you pay $175 for a pound of coffee beans which had passed through the backside of a furry mammal in Indonesia?" This is suppose to be Good Coffee"?

Me, not so sure!
