First... I love Twitter because it lets me be sarcastic to a limited audience. Last night I listened to some of the 10th Wonder podcasts that I've been missing and discovered that Greg Grunberg and James Kyson Lee (two of my favorite actors because of the series) are on Twitter. If this morning is any indication, they are VERY ACTIVE Twitterers.

Second... Did you know that Teal is the official color of Ovarian Cancer Awareness? There is a site called Teal Toes that is calling for people to paint their toes Teal to spread awareness of the disease. Two things... I don't wear a lot of open-toed shoes or I would be all over this BUT I can do this for my sister's wedding because we're wearing flip flops (at this point) and her colors are close to Teal! *g*

Third... I really need to create a database of the addresses I'm sending letters to so that I don't have to use the phone book when sending out thank yous and I can remember who has already gotten a letter. I'm too lazy to send one out, though.

Fourth... Coke points have become easier to redeem but I'm still miffed how hard it is to get the prizes. I have the points but the site doesn't cooperate and then it'll be gone when I go back to try again! *pouts*

Fifth... Hi, Randye!

First, I must tell you of some news I saw in TV Guide... the Veronica Mars movie still exists! It's written, Kristen Bell is still on board and they're looking for financing. That's good news! While I like my share of current TV, I miss Veronica and the gang!

Second, Dollhouse is starting this Friday!!! Whoot! (done only as a white girl can)

Third, I think Noodle and I broke the internet connection while setting up password-enabled stuff. The two of us together make a smart human being but not a true computer geek! She's home today and I'm hoping she'll continue with the work of figuring out if the connection is screwed up or just bad because of the weather. I'm just so tired of being the smart one when it comes to computers. I miss having an IT department to lean on! Really, I'm only good for asking "Have you tried rebooting it?" and then rebooting even if they say yes.

Fourth, I'm so glad that winter is finally on the decline. I know the groundhog saw his shadow but this is the time of the year that I don't mind the snow. It's on the out and warm weather is sure to come soon. Winter isn't the long, cold void of nothingness on the horizon anymore. Most of it is behind me! Hooray! It's something to hold onto, knowing this current snow is going to disappear much quicker than its December counterpart.

Fifth, From the pics in the TV Guide, I'm glad HRG is going to get some of his own. That's all I'm saying. I need to get on Hulu soon and watch this last episode again. I decided to wait until the later broadcast last night and watching it at 10pm makes it harder for me to concentrate on the storyline. I missed a couple different things which means I felt lost for most of it.

Sixth, My feet still hurt from standing on concrete yesterday. I did my good deed for the week by helping make 1000 boxed lunches for the Special Olympics. It was almost like old times... but with a lot more bitching and moaning from co-workers. I think some of these ladies need to retire or find new jobs! They can't find joy in ANYTHING. It's sad! I'm going to start with some Advil today where I normally wait for awhile. At least I broke in my new trainers! They're going to work just fine!

1. The boss bought us all pedometers. I got mine at 11:00 this morning. I am at... 4486 steps. Not ANYWHERE close to 10,000. Tomorrow, I'm shooting for 7500. It's something! Besides, I'll be at home and can use the treadmill. I know Dad will bring up the fact that I can take Spencer out for a walk but winter is getting to the icy point and I don't feel like blindly walking around the block, trying NOT to find the icy spots. Maybe I can convince her to come of the treadmill with me?

2. I have discovered that I love broccolini microwaved with a little bit of butter, some lemon pepper and tomatoes. It's really good! My new vegetable of choice. I have some for lunch tomorrow IF I remember to bring it to work.

3. The book I'm reading is really good. Magic to the Bone by Devon Monk. I'm too lazy to find a link. It's a new one from ROC and I'm really liking what I'm reading so far. The only problem that I see... she mentions magic being in " strands"... DAMN! That was going to be an idea that I used. Does anyone else find authors writing their ideas and then you feel that you can't use them because someone might think you took it from that particular author? No? Just me?

4. Winter. I don't like it. I never do. It comes back anyway.

5. My little cousin/niece came over to Gramma's this morning with my uncle before I left for work. She was playing with Spencer and kept calling her a boy. This is typical of anyone it seems but she's at that age where she's trying to figure out the difference between boys and girls so I kept correcting her, saying "No, Spencer is a girl. Just like you." She looked up at me with a perplexed face which cleared as she said, "Maybe she will be a boy when she grows up!" I couldn't help but laugh. She looked so proud of herself for that observation!

6. I love Twitter. Can you tell? Any time of the day, I can pick up my phone (for that is how I update) and send off a text that winds it's way through the intrawebz and ends up here in this journal. I can't use them as my Facebook status because "coworker" is on Facebook. I'm sort of scared that she'll someday come looking for this journal just because I've mentioned it a few hundred times. May have to lock some of the "funnier" posts just to keep the friendship.

7. Yep. Still not liking winter. Liking it even less now that I can't feel my toes... which are in socks so that isn't the problem. Besides, it's late and I need to walk the 30 or so steps to bed so that I get to 4500 for the night.

First and foremost... we have no snow on the ground. It hasn't snowed since Voting Day. If anything, we've had our share of FOG... which means the ground is still warm. This is concerning because I now live in the land that snow built. Without snow, the mountain doesn't open. It's already bad enough that no one will be working after December thanks to the crappy housing market... even worse that a lot of people I know are going into foreclosure because they can't afford their house payment and the banks aren't working with them. These aren't new home owners, either. These are people who have been in their house FOR YEARS. So no one is working in construction and now no one is working on the mountain... and things are getting tense.

Second... I've had to suck it up and start saving money in various ways. This means no paperbackswap anymore and remembering to bring my lunches each day. This means I have to read the books that I have currently (which will take me a good year, I'm sure but EEEK! NO NEW BOOKS!) and I can't follow my whim each day and just buy whatever I want for lunch. No more sushi! No more random grazing from the deli. I've even cut back on those Starbucks drinks that you can get in the soda cooler. At this point, I'm just glad to have a job and have enough money for a car payment!

Third... I apologize to all the Syelle shippers out there. Last night was all my fault. I started to like the ship about two weeks ago. Thought it was the coolest thing since digital watches (get it?). You know my track record by now. Every couple I like is BOUND to die a slow and painful death. So, I'm sorry!

Fourth... There is nothing more funny than 40 year old women trying to find Book 4 of the Twilight series. Randye actually cursed when she heard that one of the libraries in town has 4 copies overdue and they can't give her a definite date when she can get a copy there. It's good for a few laughs.

Fifth... I completed NaNo with 59,000 official words. Not sure where those other random 4k went but who knows. I might have missed a document or maybe I miscounted. I'm just glad I got to the NaNo limit even if I was FAR from my limit. The muse decided the story wasn't working on the 20th and there was nothing I could do but sit back and try to figure out what wasn't working and what was. I'm starting the rewrites tomorrow (was too lazy today and Tuesdays are hard to get around to writing what with the family dinner and all) and I think they WILL make the story better so I can't fault the muse! She's right once again!

Sixth... Have I mentioned here that my cousin is having twins in April? TWINS! They're sure to be beautiful as their brother is ADORABLE in that Charlie Brown, round head, big smile sort of way. But twins! That means there will always be a little around who needs holding! I can't wait! I do so love being an aunt. I'm not as good at it as my sister but she's had a lot more practice than I have.
