Scrappy, those are awesome!

The guy with the mini antique rocker is holding it for me. I have to decide if I want to drive an hour to get it. It's a really good price and it's in good condition.

Way too much, but they are totally gorgeous and it was a gift cert, so we thought we should get something we'd NEVER buy ourselves. Plus, they should last forever.

Lovely! Plus, you'll look at them every day, so why not have something good!

I finally took down my tree. So that's good.

Cash, I say go for it. And Scrappy, you did perfect. Gift certificates are for indulgences. Or should be, anyway.

Okay, found today's attempt for 365. Mostly backlit.

am still sick, but am feeling better and feel mostly human while on the sinus meds. IreallygrossN the stuff that has been coming out of my nose and throat. Disgusting stuff.

mac is being a jewel and entertaining himself with Legos while I indulge in only my second full football game viewing of the season.

I think it's sad when you end up having to spend a gift certificate on something practical, so yay for Scrappy.

Since my digital camera still counts as a new toy and I have Photoshopping skills to keep up/improve, I'm letting myself got to town with the 365s, but I can and have taken good self-portraits with the cell phone and the PDA cameras. You've just got to get some natural light and be prepared to try a whole bunch of different angles and tries. :-)

My gods, these meds have made me so damned groggy. It's very uncool.

Went to an instructor's house last night to cheer her up. Actually, I was a last-minute addition. The other two instructors visiting her had bought or made her stuff, stuff easy to eat post-wisdom-extraction. I was just decoration.

Poor thing. Turns out it was dry socket after all. She thanked me for just being there, and also for teaching her how to breathe when in pain. Other people bring food, I guess, and I bring pain relief options.

And really, which lasts longer?

This weekend I have made cupcakes, did dishes and laundry (not all of either), filed my tax return (woo refund!), changed all the linens, and did a bunch of work stuff including 4 hours on the phone training a doctor.

Killed 2 cell phone batteries talking to him. Will get brain cancer. Hate the phone. To reward myself after that ordeal I watched the last 2 SGAs that I had missed. Guess I can go catch up on the Boxed Set comments now.

my second full football game viewing of the season.

Now that it is playoffs I'm watching. So far we are 3 for 4 on our preferred winners. If the Giants do it, it will be all 4 the way I like it.

Ooh, cupcakes.

I have a ton of stuff do do for work, so I've spent the weekend rearranging furniture and going through clothes and books and stuff.

filed my tax return (woo refund!)

Woot! And ye gads! What an early bird.

I'm completely terrified of our taxes this year so we're going to a professional. We now own two houses and with DH's job switch and signing bonus, not to mention the borrowing of the 401K for house down payments, I'm just sure we're going to have to write Uncle Sam a BIG, fat check in April. Bleh.

On the brighter side, though, I'm pretty sure I'm going to drive and pick up that adorable rocker for Olivia's room. If the finish is damaged, I can always paint it. But I think it would look cute with a small, round cushion for the seat.
