It has been snowing all night...and all morning...and I keep watching the snow plow truck drive through the parking lot at work and it doesn't look like it makes a difference at all. He plows...it just gets all snowy again...he plows some more...gets all snowy again...

Oh well...at least I didn't have to drive to work in this. Brian's mom was nice enough to get up this morning and drive me to work. She has to work this afternoon, so Brian will have to come pick me up from work, but hell...at least I'm not out there driving around in this crap weather.

I'll update more later. We're ordering Chinese food for lunch (hopefully the delivery man will drive over here and make it okay) so I'll be eating in...I can't wait for my chicken chow mein to come :) with my wonton soup, crab cheese wontons...and fried rice. YUMMY!!!!

Anyway, back to work...

I made a few subtle changes to my site. Nothing major...I finally figured out how to change the colors of those navigation bars per the NuTang Hacks page. I had to try a few different things until I figured out what the hell I was doing (yes, I'm just that code illiterate), but I finally figured it out :) YAY!

Other than that, take a look at our nice weather for the rest of today going into tomorrow:



All of this is supposed to start happening about 4pm today. Of course, I have that baby class tonight so we'll be out there driving around in this...and I've got work tomorrow...so I'll be out driving around in that tomorrow. Brian has offered to drive me to work in the morning as it is supposed to snow ALL night and the last time it snowed, my car didn't do so well. That was nice of him to do...hehe

Anyway, I think before the weather gets too shitty...I'm going to attempt to go see if I can find something for Brian for Christmas. I was going to do it when we went out for lunch today, but he forgot that we had even talked about doing that today and when I called him, he was already on his lunch and he totally spaced to call me (SURPRISE)...oh well. It happens. I won't hold it against him.

I will leave you with a picture of a baby raccoon! HANG IN THERE LITTLE GUY!!!

I am not working today and BOY, it feels fantastic!

I didn't really get to sleep in this morning (8:15 was long enough) as I was getting all crampy and my arms hurt and all that. I hate now that if I lay on the side in some positions, my legs automatically fall asleep or something.

But yeah...I was all shot up the ass about playing fantasy football this year because it was going to be fun and all that but I'm not having lots of fun. My team was doing freakin' sweet! I had Donavan McNabb on my team and he was racking me up TONS of points...and then he gets injured. He's out of the rest of the season...I had Matt Hasselbeck as my back-up QB, he's been out for a long time (and since Shaun Alexander is out for the entire season, Hasselbeck's been sucking anyway)...GRRR....

The shitty thing about this whole football situation, I was actually trying to play and switching out my players and trying to do good. I am in 8th place out of 8. Brian, who doesn't even look at his team (for example, he has Drew Bledsoe as his QB and he's out on the injured list...he does not remove him from his roster because he never looks at his team)...he beat me last week. BRIAN BEAT ME IN THE MATCH-UP LAST WEEK! Brian has 2 players who are not playing because they are injured on his fucking team...and he still beats me! He beat people with half his team on bye week!!!! He's in 4th place and he doesn't even look at his team!!!

Anyway, enough about fantasy football...

Hey, you all should go over and visit etheracide and wish him good luck! He's got a big show tonight with his band (they get to play the main stage...yay!) and I'm sure he could use all of our good wishes

And, I shall leave you with a cute picture of a big turtle who adopted a little baby hippo...how cute! The power of caring (and sharing)...

Hey, I was searching the internet and I came upon this site:

Choose and Watch

Basically, you can watch tons of movies on the web (streaming) for free...and you can watch TV shows too.

I thought it was interesting, and I thought I would share to those who are extremely bored and want to watch a movie. There are TONS on there (over 600 the site says)...the quality isn't that horrible either.

and I'm finally glad it was over. It's really depressing when it's semi-dark when you leave for work and completely pitch black when you come home. It seems like such a waste of a day.

I did get much accomplished today at work and I feel confident coming into my audit on Wednesday. I get to take the day off tomorrow, so I can catch up on a whole lot of nothing...and well, do a whole lot of nothing. Sounds exciting, huh?

I think I'm going to go meet Brian for lunch tomorrow and then go buy his Christmas present. I have an inkling of what I want to get him, but I just hope I don't make a mistake and pick something wrong (which I'll probably do) or get him something that he already has or something dumb like that. Even if it were a duplicate, I'm sure he'd be able to use it...unless it were one of those things you could only have one of or something (that'd be my luck)...oh, if you're lost...I'm talking about a game that he plays...and I'm talking about getting him people to add to his army, but yeah...

My final class is tomorrow night...and we're doing a mock labor I guess. Oh how I'm looking forward to that (NOT)...I'm sure it'll be fine. I'm more looking to what we're doing next week at the hospital. We're going on a tour of the hospital's labor and delivery area and the birthing center and all that jazz. We get to see the rooms and do all the paperwork and stuff for the big day. OOOOH...which reminds me, I should call around and see if I can't find a pediatrician tomorrow. I'll have to call my primary care provider and see if I have to get a reference from them since my insurance is an HMO. If that's the case, I'll have to go with who they refer me to :(

Okie dokie...I shall leave you with a cute animal picture (and no...I won't post anymore of Erita, today anyway...hehe):



Such a cute little seal :) Keeping it up with the winter theme...heh

My my...I have been sleeping without the heat on at my house and that might be proving to be something that maybe I should rethink. For me, yeah...it's fine. I can just bundle up in a blanket and it's all good. I save on the rising price of gas costs and all is well. On the other hand, when the baby is here, is he really going to thrive in a house that is 60 degrees throughout the night? Probably not...

But yeah, to get to my point, it was 19 degrees this morning. I had to go and scrape the windows on my car this morning, which was about a 5 to 10 minute waste of my morning. Looks like on Tuesday, we're supposed to get some PM rain/snow coming in and Wednesday, our high for the day is supposed to be 24 degrees. OH GOODY...it's supposed to snow with wind on Wednesday...and then Thursday, it's supposed to be about 26 degrees. Oh how I love Denver...lol

In other news, it appears that my puppy is a cute one. I've gotten so many comments on my lovely banner with my photogenic puppy. Yes, she does like to pose for the camera, I do say.

As in this photo below...I messed around with it in Paintshop Pro, so excuse the crap I put on top of it. It doesn't look very good, but eh...it was all about Erita!



Here she is in the dark. That thing to the right of her is a shoe. Brian's mom gave her a set of shoes that she didn't want anymore and Erita had the best time with them! She'd run around in the back yard and swing em around and throw em up in the air.



AND, here is one, less photogenic one of her. She sort of looks like she's posessed (and she's playing with that shoe)...haha...her eyes are all aglow (damn pet eye)...



But yes, should get to work. I'll be working late tonight since I'm not going to be here tomorrow (yay random vacation day!). I'll leave you with some Colorado snow fall...

Well, this whole day has really been a waste (other than the Christmas card thing and the thank-you notes).

I have caved in and started to play World of Warcraft again. Don't get me wrong...I'm not one of those crazy addicts who plays hours on end or anything like that, but I do have a level 60 paladin (and no, it did not take me 3 weeks to get there...it took me over a year). I hardly played anyway, so even though I have a level 60, it's not like I had time to sit in lines to get into dungeons and instances. Basically, to the people who play for endless hours, I am just a glorified level 50. OH WELL...I played to play, not played to have no life.

But yeah...I played for a few hours this afternoon...made a few new characters just because I was tired of playing with my other ones. Found out that my guild still had me in their roster even though I've not played my level 60 character for 6 months...haha...hell...Brian's character's still on their roster and he's up higher in the rankings of the guild than I am. I take it the guild may have gone defunct or they just aren't as active anymore.

BUT YEAH...enough about that. I sat around for a few more hours after that and had a few things happen that I really wish didn't...then Brian decided that he was going to come over tonight and then we went to a movie. We went and say a movie that was just plain WEIRD. I'm not going to tell you not to go see The Fountain, but I would at least wait until it comes out on DVD or something. From the get go, the movie was stranger than anything I've seen. The entire movie was disjointed and hard to follow...and it was melancholy the entire thing. It was a toss up between that and the new James Bond movie and I see that we made the wrong choice. We should have seen Casino Royale, with new Bond and all. Ugh...

This day has been a day of bad decisions...I tell you.

You know how we always talk about human babies and how you can see them in the womb and all that, but what about animal babies?

Close-Up Pictures of Animals in the Womb

The elephant photos are just absolutely amazing!

I signed up for a del.icio.us account today as well. I've been contemplating it for some time and I thought, what the hell, I search all around the net and I usually find lots of interesting stuff...why not make my own bookmark site to keep track of the pages that interest me and whatnot and be able to share them with the general public. Per Wikipedia, the definition of del.icio.us is (just in case you were interested):

del.icio.us is social bookmarking, social software web service for storing and sharing web bookmarks. The site came online in late 2003 and was developed by Joshua Schachter, co-maintainer of Memepool. According to del.icio.us/doc/about: Everything posted to del.icio.us is publicly viewable; it is not a tool for storing private bookmark collections. Many people use del.icio.us to publish "linkblogs" on their weblogs.

Anyway...finished all my Christmas cards (all except for 3 as I need a Sharpie to write on the envelope...damn the shiny silver envelopes) and I finished all my thank you cards (I know...about damned time)...
