LOL that everybody was waiting anxiously for the new thread to happen! Glad I finally took the plunge and I missed chatting with you all!

MLette and I had a great shopping trip on our day off yesterday and I bought the cutest sneakers for spring (in fact I can't wait for spring so I'm wearing them at work today) - I call them my 'Heath Ledger Memorial sneakers' because they are sort of a wild brown and beige plaid with blue stitching (I love blue and brown together) and they just made me think of the kind of wild stuff he'd like to wear. sigh. Although I suppose velcro straps would make them totally uncool!

They are sort of Chuck Taylor clone types, so they have the Jason vibe too, but I just looked at them and thought 'Heath Ledger' - go figure! Anyway, they're so cute! MLette got some black high heels with a strap - she's so tall already I don't know why she needs heels, but that's what she was looking for, and she has an awful time finding shoes that fit (she got her father's feet! LOL!).

My 2nd season Roswell shoes that I bought in Thousand Oaks Mall when I was out in LA are getting ready for retirement (my first season Max shoes bit the dust not too long ago - I still miss them!). LOL, if I've worn them since 2nd season of Roswell, I definitely got my money's worth out of them!

Oh VB that's exactly what I was afraid would happen - you'd get stuck moving the couches AGAIN! So unfair. They did charity to others, but they definitely didn't do a good deed to you or your family!

The temp job sounds like it is good, if after you went to talk with the person, you got a good feeling about it. And it's only temporary so it will give you some $ and stuff to do, while you wait for that big job to decide about you. And if you don't like it - it's temporary! That's both the bad part of it and the beauty of it.

Yes, I guess we thought too much about that 'Jumper' movie, expecting it to have a message or a lot of meaning or whatever, and not just enjoy a cool story about a cool young guy with a very different 'talent.'

Oh speaking of different guys, Mr ML and I watched 'Dexter' - about the serial killer who works for the police and kills off bad guys as his hobby - that's very different. It's a good show, but we both agreed probably too icky and disturbing to watch it. They brought it over from Showtime to regular TV, because of the writer's strike and having not enough shows. They dubbed over some swears and cut a bit of the violence and gore - but there's still plenty left as that's the basic plot of the story. Weird! Mr ML gave 'Jericho' a try, and we tried to watch Sarah Connor again but all agreed to turn the channel! Not for us.

I happened across the 'Firefly' marathon they were having on SciFi yesterday and watched a few episodes (some I hadn't seen!) and remembered all over again how great that show was, how much I liked it, and how sorry I was they ripped it off the air so soon. It was a hard concept to sell, cowboys and spaceships in the future, but it the characters were so good, and it was so well written and creative. Think it might be time to drag out the DVD and have a festival of my own. :>

Wen what a great picture of the robin! And how cool to have a robin perched on the ceiling fan (not saying a word about dust, my place is a dust factory). DIL and Belle are so cute - she's very shepherdy looking (the dog that is, not the DIL! LOL!). DIL is a beauty. It does seem like your brother married a gal just like his mother, which isn't that unusual. And she's only 76!!! That's so young to be talking like she has one foot in the grave already. Oh well, people age at different rates and their health is different etc person to person. LOL, too bad Mom isn't a jumper and could jump away! Although she'd probably keep jumping over to visit you instead.

HUGS! She needs to give you some space/a rest.

I've pretty much decided to go on the trip (just have to make the reservations/actually take the plunge). Yeh, going by myself is the sticking point. And my dad's birthday being around then made me feel guilty (to go to FL and not see him), but I realized if I wasn't going there, it's not like I would be visiting my dad for his birthday instead! LOL!

Well, I don't do big stuff without checking with Mr ML, but he's just not very good to bounce stuff off and decide stuff, and this is about my hobbies/interests - he doesn't ask me what to do about basketball or his online games or whatever! I don't know, of course I tell him I'm thinking about going someplace and when and if that would be okay with him/would he mind (because they will have to take care of the dog, which he hates to do in a big way). sigh.

It was so warm here yesterday it almost hit a record! We are having the strangest winter. In December, the snow set a record, this month the rain almost was a record.

Guess I should tear myself away and get some stuff done!

My computer at work is giving me fits this morning - kept crashing and rebooting itself, freezing up, and when I fixed stuff on a disk and saved it - the corrections didn't save! Oh, I"m tearing my hair out with this thing today.. guess I need to call the tech guys (who haven't fixed anything for me right yet.. sigh).
