lavendar soy candle

Thanks to my wonderful friends in PDX, I'm enjoying my candle right now.
Downstairs, the husband is fitfully sleeping off an awful cold and sore throat. I got to feed him chicken soup and give him soy ice cream. The love of soy remains. *grin*

While he is sleeping, I got to clean. That may sound odd that I say "got to" but cleaning has always been therapeutic for me. Today at work, I was corrected from little mistakes enough times that I started to feel a little useless. This has been my greatest problem -accepting criticism- and I felt as if I was staring down my ego. I lost a little but rebounded when I was able to come home and make things better..in my own way.

The barometer is making me so sleepy. High 90, low 63, humidity 67% and rising.

shooting

here we are at the end of september, aka best month EVER, and i've little to report. well, little that i want to write on a public blog. the personal world pot got stirred a lot. ok, that was a crap metaphor. suffice it to say, this was not, as i LOVE to say, all puppies and rainbows. the challenge of marriage was presented to me for the first time. i like to think i passed the test. we'll see what comes down the road. for now, i'm seriously making like bill wilson and taking it one day at a time.

i'm too lazy to write out a review of 'Hot Fuzz'. i liked it though i'm not sure that meant i thought it good. i was really comparing to 'Shaun of the Dead' the whole time i watched it. i realize they're nothing alike, save the actors, but i was so disappointed in 'Shaun' that i really wanted to like 'Hot Fuzz'. um, i suppose i walked away from it having laughed a few times but what's with their thing with death? it did cure me of my constant need to speak with a british accent...don't ask.

well, i should be getting on to bed. oi.

Been a long time...

I have been lax on updating purely due to all the usual excuses. Please forgive.

The day after my birthday, I began working here at my new job. It's been a week and a half now since I've been here. The jury is out. I find the work fairly easy and my co-workers are friendly enough. I enjoy having my own office. There's truly nothing bad to say. I'm just curious about the holding power on my attention. *grin*

We moved into our new home last Saturday. Well, perhaps I should say apartment. It's a townhouse with two bedrooms. I'm growing to like it more and more each day. Initially, I wasn't sure I'd like the layout. It's certainly MUCH closer to work though I still have a thirty minute commute.

I now live a good thirty-five minutes away from my mother and sister. This has given us some good, quiet time together which is what I was hoping for. We live in a really 'charming' neighborhood and I'm eager to get out and explore. Me being who I am, I already checked out the local libraries, near work and home, and got a new library card. JC found a new gym for us- him being who he is.

I feel now I want to focus on making some friends. I have no idea where I would do this but I heartell of this great site called Craigslist. *grin*

happy birthday charlie sheen!

i have always had a thing for mr. sheen. not really a crush thing but a definite interest because we share the same birthday. he's exactly 11 years older than me and i've watched his ups and downs in his career. he's definitely been through it. i like to think we're both in a better place now. in any event, happy birthday chuck.
