OHai, guys!

Good lord, do I STILL have a blog??  Remember when I used to post all the time?  Yeah, those were the good old days.  Then I got a real job and discovered ravelry, twitter, and facebook.  Blogging didn’t stand a chance.

SO!  What have we missed?  There was my birthday – Kev and I went to see a play, The 39 Steps, which was based on a Hitchcock movie, but really was a comedy.  Highly recommend.  After that we met two of my favorite people, Bob and Sandy for dinner at a new place called the Pharm House Restaurant.  Cute little place – good food, and good service from our waitress.  If you’re looking for a good place to eat in Decatur, check it out – food is tasty and the prices are reasonable.

Fast forward…and…umm…that’s about it.  Work has been busy.  Big important project, involving implementing a big fancy new system that’s going to solve all our problems.  Or so I’ve been told.  Lots of hours, working late with the very nice, very PATIENT people from the company that’s installing it and setting it all up for us.  Meanwhile our current system has become sentient, discovered we’ve been plotting its demise, and has started destroying documents I put into it.  This has resulted in a very frustrating situation for me, and not a very pleasant week.  I expect a naked Arnold Schwarzenegger to walk through the door any minute, shooting things and stealing leather clothes off of a biker gang.  HAVE YOU SEEN THIS DOCUMENT?

No, sorry, it’s gone.  It was here.  I can click on it.  But alas, the document…it is not there.  *sob*

I hate being thwarted at my job.  It’s been a frustrating week.

But it has been a calorie rich week.  JEEEESUS CHRIST, people.  EVERY DAY, we’ve had a reception, or a party, or a lunch, and there’s food and cake and cookies and candy and it’s just EVERYWHERE!

Of course, I brought in cookies, too…but that’s different.  I brought homemade cookies of LOVE.  Well, everyone seemed to love them, anyway.

We’re mostly ready for Christmas – all the gifts are bought.  Well, mine are.  I can’t say if Kev’s finished his yet.  I really hope he found that voodoo doll of Joe Lieberman I asked for!

side note: anyone else spend the past 24 hours or so yelling at  CNN?  just me?  OK.

We’ll be making the drive up to Pittsburgh next week – keep clear weather thoughts in your mind, especially through West Virginia.  Those mountains can be nasty in the snow.

Until then, this weekend will be more baking, wrapping, and a Christmas party at our departmental Director’s house.  I’ve heard tell there will be Wii and karaoke.  Wooo?  Do I really want to see my bosses do karaoke?  I hope there will be wine so I’ll survive.

OH WAIT.  I can’t drink.  I’m on antibiotics for my INGROWN TOENAIL OF DOOM!  So if anyone wonders why I’ve been gimpy the past few weeks, that’s why.  I have crazy mutant toenails, and from time to time, one decides to try to kill me.  But I have antibiotics, a prescription for tylenol with codeine, and a referral to a podiatrist.  I haven’t had to see one since I was a teenager (and OMG, I’m not making this up – his name was Dr. Walk.  Dr. Walk the podiatrist!!!), so this should be fun.  I’m hoping he or she will do a minor surgical procedure so that I will NEVER have to go through this again.  And then, I never have to blog about it again!  IT’S WIN/WIN FOR US, PEOPLE!!!

NOTE: don’t worry, there will be no yogurt blogging – I also got a prescription for diflucan.  SEE WHAT I DO FOR YOU?  DO YOU DOUBT MY LOVE?

I will sooth my discomfort with Christmas baking, so stay tuned this weekend for pictures of delicious baked goodies.  And funny pictures of Sadie.
