it's a love thing

This is a picture of my new baby. I am much more in love with this car than any adult woman should be with an entry-level sedan, but it's such a big upgrade from the 9-year-old Oatmobile that I don't really care. I need to come up with a nickname for her. One of my co-workers suggested The Bounty Hunter. Hee!

Please don't judge her too harshly from this pic - it's not her good side.

sendin' forget-me-nots

to help you to remember...me. I have been in absentia lately and i apologise. Not much time or space to catch up, so i'm just listing points to pique your curiosity.
1. My new job keeps me very, very busy.
2. I spent my first "whole day" with tommy last weekend. It went well. Next time, we're going to the discovery museum.
3. My dad gave me a birthday gift of cash to buy my table saw, but i haven't done that yet, because
4. I threw all reason and sense to the wind and bought a new car yesterday. Gulp.
5. The car salesman is missing an eye. He is also a bounty hunter.
6. My company has announced publicly that my division is up for sale. $5 billion, OBO.
7. I'm playing shuffleboard thursday nite.
8. I made papier-mache fall decorations last week.
9. If you haven't made it to firepit friday, you've missed out. However, there is no FPF this week. Stay tuned for the 11/3 edition, where we celebrate heidi's big 2-5!!

Insomnia...I can't get no sleep

In the off chance that anyone is even checking this blog anymore, I thought I would post...something. I don't even have a decent excuse for being so absent. I guess I've just been busy, with LOST and friends and house things and trying to get a decent night's sleep. Which finally happened, courtesy of LynnieT and her AMAZING cave-like guest room. I slept like a freaking ROCK and didn't even hear her doing dishes in the kitchen above me, or doing laundry just down the hall. It was seriously the best sleep I've had since I snuck down to the Quiet Room at work one morning and took a 45 minute nap in what can only be described as a sensory deprivation chamber. Another amazing nap to comment on.

LynnieT and her husband used to play a game called "there's Erin". It's similar to "there's JoeD," except instead of pointing out any guy who had a white beard, flowered Hawaiian shirt, and Teva sandals, they would point out any person who was totally punched in a public place. Because I used to be able to do that, very easily, and would often take naps in the park, or the front yard, or anyone's sofa, anytime. Now, I can hardly get any kind of decent sleep, which makes me exceptionally cranky for most of the time. ARGH.

PS - "A Thing Called Love" is on the radio right now and they just said that the band's lead singer died. Sorry, Heidi.

LOST in Emotion

the rumours of my LOST addiction are false. Obsession, perhaps. But addiction, well that's just silly.

I have been working since last Thursday to get caught up. Which means, watch every episode, because I am that far behind. I have been watching 8 episodes a day since Saturday. I still have 8 more from S2, so I won't be watching the premiere tonight. No spoilers, please. I'll be watching the premiere online on Thursday. Then, I'll finally be a real boy! Just like Pinocchio.
