Chorus to “Ain’t No Way to Make a Living” ~ Trevor Guthrie

“Ain’t No Way to Make a Living” is the last song on the Shady Satin Drug CD. It’s actually not my favorite song, but the words remind me of when I worked at the jail. Now that’s definitely no way to make a living! But I wonder what Trevor was thinking when he wrote it…

Last night I did some Christmas cards. I didn’t have any energy after work today to do the rest. Oh well, it’s not like I have any stamps at the moment anyway. 😛

Holiday scenes…

I just posted to a Dark Angel forum that I haven’t vistited in AGES! Why the heck did I do that? LOL! Oh well, it’s done now. Maybe someone will actually reply. I’m sad because I couldn’t find the “Wigglees” thread. I used to have so much fun on the forums. Alas…

I worked alone in the processing office today. Twas a little weird! And the rest of the office was quiet as well…

Hey, would anyone like a Gmail account? I’ve still got plenty of invites. Do I have any takers? 😉

The Holiday Party – some of the photos from last night’s holiday party. Twas mostly work people, but most of the pictures aren’t of work people. LOL!

As much as I loved the previous top banner, I thought I’d change it for the holidays. 😉 The old picture is from long ago. Tis me and my little sister, when she was actually shorter than me. 😀 Groovy, eh?

I should be doing my Christmas cards. I’m lazy!…

“Shady Satin Drug” by soulDecision

Wild and windy and gray, rain falling in the morning. I can’t seem to keep my eyes open during the drive to work. Am I not getting enough sleep?

It would be a fine thing to win the lottery. I would love to not have to worry about money. Not that I really worry about it, but it wouldn’t be a bad thing to have more of it. I’d go to lots of baseball games.

Speaking of baseball, I’m hoping that Hudson stays with the A’s, but the trade rumors are swirling. I don’t like the swirling!

We’ve gotten three Christmas cards already. I think it’s time to get into gear with writing those out. I like to write little notes in my cards, but sometimes time just flies and you don’t have time for all the niceties. Alas.

The Olympians have won every month this year and for November, they gave me their team award. So it’s on my desk and I thought I should take a picture of it. 😉 I’m really digging my camera phone, it takes decent pictures…

I’ve added a new link for Mr. Dan Huard. He was on The Screen Savers and has recently started a weblog/articles site. So if you enjoy your tech and want to read more, check out his site!

“The Season for Romance” by Lee Ann Womack
(ahhh, Christmas music…)

I get so sleepy on the way to work. It’s a drive of one and one half hours. Ye gods! Good thing I’m not the one driving. 😛

I turned on my iTunes at work and proceeded to add four CDs worth of Christmas music to my hard drive. LOL! I burned 4 CDs last year of Xmas songs. Craziness! But I love the stuff. And I always think that I won’t buy another Christmas CD, but every year another one comes out that MUST buy. This year I bought the Chris Isaak CD at iTunes. LOL! Last year it was Harry, the year before was Lee Ann Womack (because Harry appears on the CD). I can’t remember before that. 😛

soulDecision. Buy it.

I read a bunch of short stories yesterday and today. They were holiday tinged and not your usual Harlequin type situations. More modern. 😉

Reading always inspires me to write, but when I finally sit in front of the computer or sit with a notebook in hand, my muse flees from me. I so hate that. Alas…

This time of year also inspires holiday romance stories in my head. I love to read them and I love starting to write them. I can almost remember one that I started when I was a teenager. Two people meet at a family party where they have a mutual cousin. Sounds a little goofy, but it could have worked. 😛

And because I cannot go without mentioning soulDecision (buy their CD!!!), I must note that I scanned the CD notes for my own evil purpose. I was thinking of changing the top banner. Maybe tomorrow. Maybe next weekend. Until then, ponder this…

Verse II of “Don’t Dance Close to Me” ~ Trevor Guthrie/Michael Warner

“Hypnotize” by soulDecision

I’m addicted to soulDecision. Again. Was it this bad four years ago? And ye gods, it was FOUR years ago?!

The look on your face touch’n tongue to your lips
Pressed against your body puts the move in my hip
You remind me of a far off and foreign land
Wanna swim your ocean feel my feet in your sand…
~~Verse II of “Hypnotize”

Davenport musings…

I don’t know if I realized this when I started the story last month, but Colby Davenport was another character in a different story I started months ago. Actually, he was the same character, but the girl was a different person! I’m not sure which one I like better. LOL! I was thinking of writing something today, but I wanted to continue with a story I had already started and there was the other Colby Davenport story! Strange.

Maybe he’s haunting me. LOL!

Meggie looking shiny!

A sleepy Saffy…

“It Must Be You” by soulDecision

I can’t think of anything original for a title post. Ah well.

I got a long email from an old friend of mine. It was nice to hear from him. I guess his email got lost and I never got it, so he resent it to me. And I actually replied the same day! Ye gods. LOL!

Canadian soulDecision fans!!!

Go buy the latest sD CD now! It’s out. You’re all so lucky they’re doing shows up there. I’m hoping they come to my little Valley corner of the universe. Chances of that?

Ohhhh, check out Michel’s photos from the show on the 25th. Very nice…

Next year, I’ll be prepared…

My Davenport story went NOWHERE! I’m not even sure I want to work on it after today. It was fun trying to write it in the beginning, but having no plan totally backfired on me. Lessons learned.

I keep dreaming of SRJ

I can’t really miss working at a jail, right? Fine then, I miss the people I worked with. A very few of the people I worked with. And yet I still think of that godforsaken place…
