random: November 2005 Archives

Our first snow in the new house. I thought we were just going to get a few flurries tomorrow morning, but the grass is covered already.

So I'm leaving my house this morning, feeling like I've forgotten something. Cisco's giving me this look like "what do you mean you're leaving me." (Which probably means he'll tear something up today.) I'm cruising along to work (my 55 minute drive took me all of 20 minutes today -- thank you to everyone who took today off), called the vet to get some tick preventative (we've pulled 3 ticks off of Berkley in the last couple of weeks), so over all it was a very productive morning.

I get to work, and I'm getting everything out of the car and oh look, I forgot my purse! So I have

• no key to get in the building (which doesn't open for another 25 minutes since I'm so early)
• no money for lunch
• no money to go pick up the medicine I just requested from the vet (what I was planning on doing at lunch or on my way home)
• And no form of identification

Of course I had to call Chris who after a good laugh agreed to take me out for lunch.

And in other randomness for this morning...

• The website I helped re-design was shown on the today show this morning -- fly.faa.gov (BTW, it doesn't work in Safari -- I hate sites that don't work in all browsers (obviously I had no control over this)). It's weired seeing something you worked on on TV. But it is a very helpful site if you're looking for airport delays. Chris will have a busy day trying to keep the servers up with all the traffic that will be generated.
• I feel horrible about the explosion at the Mason County Animal Shelter. But it seems like the good news is more pets than they initially thought made it.
• Last night I updated the previous post to include links to Cisco and Berkley's standard runs from Saturday, the week before last.

Happy Day before Thanksgiving!

It's been a while since I've updated this. Lets see... My hair is now brown. I hadn't been happy with my last couple sets of highlights so I really didn't want to pay to have them touched up and my roots were coming in dark, so I went dark -- maybe I can get away from coloring my hair. probably not.

Last weekend Cisco qualified in Starters Pairs and Jumpers at the TAG trial in Sterling.

The first week at the new job was overwhelming. I started off the week in tears and ready to quit, but now it might be ok. I'm going to give it a chance. We'll have to wait and see how it goes.

Starting work on the family calendar this weekend. Thanks to everyone who sent in submissions.
