Candy or Roses?

How about both! I bought two dozen red roses from the flower shop by my mom’s store and had them in a vase, waiting for my Bailey girl first thing this morning. Then at lunch time I sent a big box of chocolate dipped strawberries to her office. After work, we went to Outback Steakhouse for a delicious dinner. It was strange to go to Outback by ourselves – usually we go with a bunch of our friends. But tonight was about our special time together. The friends can have dinner with us another night!

We just got home and had to take care of the dogs and a couple of chores, but our night is not over, yet!

Thank You, Baby!

Yesterday was my birthday. Not a big landmark birthday, but a great birthday for me!

My babydoll, Bailey, had a very special night planned for me last night. I showed up after work and she took charge of the whole evening – dedicated to my pleasure.She thought of everything, right down to the cheesecake with strawberries and whipped cream.

It was an awesome birthday, thank you babydoll.

Steelers Edge by the Cardinals

The Super Bowl was a lot closer than any of the experts were predicting. The last I heard, the official line was giving the Cardinals 6 and a half points in a loss. But the Cardinals surprised everyone by springing ahead at the end of the 4th quarter and almost winning the game. If it wasn’t for cool heads on the part of the Steelers quarterback and coaching team and a little luck, the Cardinals might have indeed won. But the Steelers dug deep and found a way to make the last two plays count when they needed them most. If was just a toe tap away from victory, but the Steelers won their 6th Super Bowl game – an outstanding achievement by any measure.

Way to go, Pittsburgh!

Cold Fusion

The only thing I knew about the term “cold fusion” was the use of it in a movie from like 10 years ago with Val Kilmer. It was called, “The Saint” and the cold fusion was something that scientists were trying to create to give the world a free, unlimited energy source. Of course, the bad guys wanted to steal it and the hero saved the day.

In today’s world, cold fusion is a type of programming and it’s becoming very popular. I think it is worth looking into taking a couple of classes and adding that expertise to my resume.

New Year Resolutions

I’ve never been a big fan of New Year’s resolutions. I can’t help feel that they are land mines that doom us to failure rather than inspire us to succeed at something. Most people seem to focus on losing weight or quitting smoking or ending some bad habit. Those are hard to do and just because you make a promise on New Year’s Day to stop doing it does not make the magic solution to your problem.

This year I am going to resolve to be more sociable. I know that will be hard to measure and hard to gauge success or failure at such a noble effort, but I feel like I need to make a bigger effort to build a social network of people who have either common interests with me or who can help me achieve my own goals, like a mentor or someone in my field that can teach me or lead me to higher achievements.

So wish me luck with my resolution and I’ll wish you luck with yours.

Merry Textmass

Man oh man since I started texting and twittering I can’t get away from this iPhone. I have so many Merry Christmas wishes coming in that I can hardly keep up.

So if I dropped tha ball on the text message you sent, I apologize and let me wish you Merry Christmas here on my blog. Cuz I do mean it.

TV and Christmas

It has hard put to find anything on the television that isn’t pertaining to the Holiday Season, that is in full swing as I type these holiday words, we just can’t seem to get away from this over abundance of Holiday Spirit. At the Mall and ALL the other stores have been playing holiday music for the past several weeks and have gone the extra mile to decorate in the most elaborate decorating frenzy ever, it just seems that it is everywhere and it can be a bit over whelming when you are as strapped for cash as I seem to be lately.

One more week and it will all be a memory, hopefully a good one for each and all.

NABISCO

Chicken in a Biskit by NABISCO is one of my all time favorite crackers, with or without cheese, I always have several boxes in the house so that I have easy access to these baked snack crackers that I have been inhaling since early child hood.

Ritz crackers are always good, but I seem to tire of their taste after a while and much prefer my old time favorite anytime.

The Internet

I just couldn’t lead a normal life if I didn’t have access to the Internet, my laptop goes with me all most everywhere that I go and have become extremely attached to the darn thing. I’ve had my laptop for 5 years now, I know that there are bigger and better ones out there now, but so far so good and I’m not in any hurry to dish out a couple hundred of bucks that I don’t find necessary to shell out, especially at this point of time, you understand.

Retail stores are slashing their prices, there are plenty of great deals to be had right now, but this does seem to happen each and every Christmas Season, so there is always next year and the next and the next…

WordPress 2.7, oh my

Seems that I just got started on here and there is all ready an update available and I find myself a bit timid about it at this point.

I have decided to go online and find some information about it, I’m sure all kinds of people are talking about this update and then I’ll take it from there. For now I am staying put!
