Apologies to any Chargers fans, but man, I just want to smack Philip Rivers across his smug little face.

With my baseball bat.

Kathy, you still working for the lawyer? (I've probably skimmed a lot in this week.)

That's the problem when I have time off. I remember what it's like not being there. And I want to not be there some more.

I've already had two work crises while I was off, so I can't decide if I should check my email tomorrow, or if I should continue to hide from it.... On one of the crises, it's a good thing someone else checked her email on Friday, when we were closed, because it would have turned into a disaster by tomorrow. Ugh!

So here's the Simpsons kipa that I finished on Thursday night, for the wedding of a dear family friend.

Nilly, that is amazing. I wonder if Jon B has seen it?

The ads for Lie to Me are fascinating. I love Tim Roth. And keep being impressed by the quality of actors Fox keeps bringing to tv.

Whoa! Hold the phone! Tim Roth coming to a Fox show near me? How did I not know about this? Squeeeee!

I am using the new 22" LCD monitor that I got from my brother and his family for the the first time. It's a big upgrade from my 15" CRT monitor. Everything is so wide!!! I feel like I am having horizontal vertigo. Horizongo?

Maybe this queasy feeling is because I have to go to work tomorrow.

Watching live TV just doesn't work quite right for me. I'm switching between a Amy Winehouse concert and The Sound of Music. Um, both musical. Perhaps I should stick to pre-recorded stuff.

15" CRT monitor.

I think my great-grandparents had one of those for their steam-powered difference engine....

Hey! it's only 7 years old! Maybe 8.

Another advantage: It's now very hard for my cat to block my entire view of the monitor when she wants my attention.

Bonny, you wanna come out and organize my place? I really have to work on it this week. I've got my list of New Years resolutions, and organization is up there.

Love to! I'm a pro, ya know.

I don't do much clutter clearing anymore though because a lot of the folks who hired me just thought they wanted their stuff cleared up.

I figure, if it isn't a health hazard or materialy limiting one's life, clutter really isn't that big a deal. Plus? Order is an ebb and flow sorta thing.

I feel bad for one of my clients who behaves guilitly around me because she's let her house go after I whipped it into shape. As if I'd be disappointed in her or something. Nope, not the momma!

I do miss that type of work sometimes becuase I do so love the satisfaction of the tangivle results. Today, I'm getting them for myself!

Gronk!

thanks for the birthday wishes. It wasn't much of a day. I've been cleaning in preparation for selling stuff before my move. Today I woke up with a sore throat and am feeling aweful, but had to keep cleaning anyway.

I wrestled the futon cover back onto the couch, but when I was zipping it back up, the zipper pull came right off the end of the zipper! I have no idea how to get it back on!

I have way too much stuff and am actually looking forward to unemployment so I can get more done. I need to start hauling stuff to Goodwill or somewhere.

Anyway, my woes pale in comparison to what is happening around Nilly and Shir. peace ~ma to your little country. We all appreciate the updates. Let's us know you're ok.

Nilly, the Simpson's kipa is fabulous. So cool!

didn't need to say it twice!
