Hey Gals!
Wow, it's been so *quiet* around here! :-( I haven't been doing much except working and trying to get things cleaned up at home. Some more work excitement but not the kind I like- to say the least. Let's just say it's *BAD* and involves an adult that was having sex with a minor AND the adult is HIV+. And I *work* with this adult individual. AND they put where he works (i.e., our company name) in the paper.....AND mgmt is choosing not to discuss it with all of us here....this place is twisted- all of it- where I work, CA.....I'm ready to head east. Not that it's any better (you know, the old "grass is always greener" thing), but I've just had it with CA. Anyway.....oh yeah, and someone took some dried mini roses (yellow) that I've had in a vase on my desk for the last year- they were from my hubby for my b-day in 2002. The only way I knew what happened, is that my computer speaker was turned sideways & in front of my monitor instead of its usual spot. Naturally my eyes were led behind there to see what was missing, and sure enough, some idiot took my roses and left the vase. My suprvsr thought it was the cleaning people, that they thought they were to be thrown out. Uh, HELLO, they were practically *behind* my monitor, AND they didn't look like dead plant leaves (which I *did* have on another part of my desk, but they didn't do anything with those....). I'd say it was yet *another* twisted individual here, or someone did it out of spite. I've since become quite demanding to move to another desk. They're working on it. :-)
Onto much more pleasant news..... Rick's been absent, but Hot Toddie was on Saturday's FR- he looks *so good* in the red shirts & leather jacket! ;-) It was great to see Rick in the "skanky boonie hat" again. Wow, that's great stuff!
Niall (my stepson) proposed to his girlfriend & she said yes- we figured she would. They're going to wait until Niall's done with school before they get married (to our relief!). The WW diet is back on- although I still have one leg on & one off the wagon. I have 10 lbs to lose. Here's a humorous pointer for you other gals in the struggle for weight loss: *never* weigh yourself with the scale on a rug. It *will* add at least 15 lbs. to your weight. ;-p I tell ya'll, I nearly fainted when I saw the initial number. I'm sure a bloodcurdling scream of "NO!" made it to the east coast. Then I tried the hardwood floor- *WHEW*. :-) So, yeah, I have 10 to lose, so not bad, considering what I've eaten in the last year. I've kinda half-assed my WW diet the last year, so I'm considering myself lucky. I bought Savage's new book, but haven't read it yet. I also got the "Mexifornia, A State of Becoming"- I believe it's by Victor Davis Hansen (I always seem to mess up one part of his name, and I'm too tired & lazy this AM to look it up :-/ ). Haven't started that one yet either. I figured it was good time to start, with all the talk of Bush's referendum that he wants to pass to let even *MORE* illegals into the country AND legalize the ones that are already here. At this point, he's lost our vote for 2004. I feel betrayed by this- this isn't what a conservative president is supposed to do, but then again, Bush is a little left of conservative.
Sherry- congrats on the wt. loss & for keeping up so well!! :-D
Nan- had to laugh at the "hubba hubba" when you were talking about Rick. :-D LOL, it's exactly the same thing I think when I see Rick or Todd on. Especially after *such* a long absence. Where *is* that boy??? Isn't it funny, that when you see one of your favorite hotties on, that you forget what they were reporting on? Glad I'm not the only one that has that problem occasionally! "....cute smiling face sucked all rational thoughts from my brain..."- Yep- that's the feeling! :-D
Melissa- Congrats on the new computer! Don't be a stranger (that goes for all you other missing LevenGals as well!) ;-)
Janice- I caught Todd on New Year's Eve morning, but wished I'd taped that day. It sounded like there was a humorous exchange about the "naked cowboy" and then the anchor (Mike Jerrick maybe??) suggested that they should have a "naked reporter"- it sounds like Todd got a little embarassed, heheheh. LOL- I think you're right- I think Todd is not fond of ties- I don't remember the last time I saw him wearing one. I think for some guys, ties are to them what pantyhose is to women (or at least me! LOL!). I agree- "Bad Santa" needs to bring our hotties back. I've sent emails to shows but haven't gotten a reply. I've only sent about three though, LOL!
Teri- got your letter on Friday! Will try to reply before we go to OR. I think I kept getting that error message too with blogger on NYE, and maybe NY Day?
Jan- hope things are slowing down a bit for ya- I see that you had the dual post-Christmas jewelry adjustments & flu season strike at the same time- ick. I was thinking the same thing about Rick being in Jerusalem on Christmas Eve.
Well, this post was scattered at best. I wanted to get in this week as we will be going up to OR this weekend for a week. I apologize if I missed anyone's posts! Gotta get to work- talk to ya later! :-)
