Almost forgot...

These guys are a bunch of whiners! What they are going to accomplish with this is driving away the new fans of a sport which really needs them. Please ... she has done more for this sport and attracted more attention to the IRL than any other driver ever. They should be thankful!

Wow!

There is so much I could write about today but thats not the type of blogging I do anymore! ; )

First off, happy thoughts sent out for your work day - whoo-hoo!!

A couple of interesting pictures found on the net today. The first one is of a proposed new building that looks like would be built smack dab in the middle of my old neighborhood. Kind of cool looking actually.

The second is of a bird hitting the space shuttle on liftoff. Now, this wouldn't be that funny except when I was watching the launch video live on the net yesterday I noticed a bunch of birds flying around and I told him ... "That bird is going to be obliterated on liftoff." Well, I'm sure its not the same bird but I just found this kind of ironic!

Skittles ... its an illness actually...

I know I mentioned on my old blog back in the day that I am addicted to Skittles. I don't know why or anything like that but I love them. I can even remember the first time I ever had them - seriously, it was about 1984 in Casper, Wyoming with my cousins on a fairly "roughing it" camping trip. LOL! Anyway... today I get this from my sister. This is funny because my boss teases me about my Skittles addiction so I had to forward it to her too...

Sis: It's official...I am addicted to Skittles. I feel like I eat them every other day!

Me: Its a family illness - I am the exact same way!!!

My boss (after I forwarded our little thread to her): Oh my god, it's genetic! I saw a guy grabbing a package today and immediately thought of you!

Yes, its a disease, what can I say?

Speaking of other illnesses, it appears my White Sox "fandom" is getting me out of trouble these days ; ) I have our software installed here and thought I was running the standalone copy. Well, apparently there was something wrong with my license so the software started searching the network for a copy of the license to use on its own. Its this nifty little thing that is built in to our software. So it grabbed a copy of the license from our like Windows development coordinator. Not a big deal but I guess he had several instances running the other day and my license was using up one of the licenses he needed so I had to back out of the software. Today he sent me a screen shot of the "proof" that I was using one of the licenses and oops! I was but I have corrected it.

Him: In case you don’t believe me ;)

Me (after fixing it): What about now?

Him: I’m going to let you slide since you are a White Sox fan, otherwise I’d have to report you. Kidding. You’re fine! :)

Membership has its privileges I guess... ; )

Karaoke Goddess, part deux

Karaoke song list:
1. Life #9 - Martina McBride
2. Son Of A Preacher Man - Dusty Springfield
3. Down At The Twist And Shout - Mary Chapin Carpenter
4. Cowboy Take Me Away - Dixie Chicks

Today's thoughts...

Space shuttle safely off the ground - thats great! So good to see that this morning after so long. I saw a launch back when I was in high school. Still remains one of the coolest things I have ever seen!

Karaoke again last night until 1:30am. Will post my song list later if I get a moment. Drank a few beers which must have led to the freako nightmare that I had last night. Woke up freaking out - it was sooo not pretty. I do that sometimes and I hate it.

And today's super cool picture ...

Blah...

Isn't it weird how during that "pre-time-of-the-month" the most stupid things seem like the most important things on the face of the earth???? I HATE IT!!!

Cool moon pictures!

Well...

He got the job. And I'm happy for him. Its just going to be a major change once things get rolling. I'm so used to seeing him every day and now he's going to be doing a lot of travel. I guess we'll see how it goes. I do think this is an excellent opportunity for him and I don't see him "on the road" for long. At the very least its going to possibly give me the opportunity to do some of my own travelling on the weekends!

Ironic?

Anyone else find the irony in two stations with the name of "Bush" and "Oval" being bombed today in London?

Praying for you!

Sending nothing but happy thoughts your way!

LOVE!!!!!!

A few freaky weather photos

Today's entry...

Yeah so forgot to write yesterday. Anyway, just uploading a few pictures I took at my friend's wedding reception this past Saturday down home. I don't know why but it seems like my digital camera was behaving a little funky so they turned out a bit blurry. I have edited a few so they are black and white, seems to make them look a little better. The first is of Jennifer and Brandon, the second is me (far left) with Jennifer and two of our other high school friends, Jennifer and Katie.

Just one more note...

It was announced at my company today that one of our employees in one of our England offices was killed in the terrorist attacks. I did not know her but that is very sad. Here is the information from the BBC regarding Samantha Badham.
