Hello again!

Now *that's* a long absence. I thought I'd have time to write in this thing everyday but as usual, life steps in. So months later, here we go again. What has happened since then? Lessee...
  • Became a co-presenter at the Dora awards and did a musical number...both with a group and a solo! Mind you, the "solo" part was totally unexpected.
  • Got myself one of those darned iPods.
  • Celebrated our first year wedding anniversary! We went to Gananoque and won enough at the casino to pay for the whole weekend away!
  • Put a deposit down on a beagle pup....born October 7, so we should get him early December.
  • Got a new dual-core 3.0 'puter (the old one just choked and died. Thanks Nortel for the memories!!!) and an all-in-one printer. Both of them are HP.
  • Hubby got promoted to Director! (No, I can't stay home yet.)
  • Got four projects at work going at the same time.
  • Celebrated our friend Errick's 40th birthday!
  • Currently re-organizing the basement.

And that brings me to today. Ikea is a life-saver. Gorm rocks!! Now we can actually use our cold storage room for something. Of course, the basement is a total mess at the moment and I definitely have to get this done soon....the family's coming over for a birthday din-din on Saturday.

Oh, did I mention I had the couch steam-cleaned? I also bought three picture frames for my movie posters. I think we're headed for a basement mini-makeover!

The hubby is in Vegas half of this week....so feeling kinda blue but at the same time glad that he gets to go to places that he's never been. Oh well, maybe he'll win big at the casino and *then* we could both stay home!

So.....down to the basement we go again! I'll probably surface in a coupla hours. If I am so inclined, I might even take a picture! (and then hear people say...."is that it?!?")

...and of course in true Murphy's law fashion the phone rings. "Hello? Hello?" I sez but there's no answer. Hmp. Betcha it's one of those autodialers that dial the house to make sure that someone is home so they know when to call the next time. Sneaky, sneaky. I did a reverse lookup and natch, no name attached (but the provider is Allstream). So betcha I'm right.

So...okay....down we go again......

A bit of house-cleaning

So I've decided to do a little bit of refresh on my blog, seeing as technology has improved a little bit since my last post. As for my ...
