It's been a while. Sorry

Sorry that it has been a while since my last post. I have had little time and little content. Not too much has happened these pase several days. Or, maybe I am just lazy and haven't wanted to take the time to post. You decide.

1. Happy New Year! We didn't do anything special. I view New Year's Eve and Day as a reason to buy a new calandar. I always get a Dilbert daily calandar. Dilbert makes me laugh. Jessica was in bed around 10:00 New Year's Eve and I played Xbox until I went to bed around midnight. We are really exciting, eh?

2. My poker roll is still trucking. I can't explain it, really. I guess I have just been getting new cards. I am definately having fun with it, but I worry that my poker friends might be getting a little tired of my winning. Since the beginning of November, I am at least up $1000. I wish I were closer to a casino so that I could take this hot streak somwhere that I could win some real money.

3. I need a vacation. Work was a little hellish last week. Two of my co-workers were out (one on vacation, the other on maternity leave) so I was basically holding a lot of things together. There are a few other people that do my job, but they do not have my experience. So, every messed up issue and question were routed to me. No fun. I feel really burned out right now. I am trying to be stingy with my vacation time though. I would rather try to save it for later in the year. It's hard to do though with this nice, annual infusion of vacation time.

4. Is anyone going to watch that Terminator TV show? I think they are calling it the Sarah Connor Chronicles. Don't know why since John Connor ends up being the savior of mankind. I will probably give a few episodes a try. Might as well, considering all of my regular shows are down with the strike. I liked the Terminator movies and am glad that Arnold isn't in the Terminator roll. Plus, it has Summer from Firefly. It should be good, I think.

5. So far so good with the diet. I haven't weighed myself yet, but I have made the transition from my bad eating and drinking habits to eating better and not drinking. I have basically cut almost all of the carbs out of my diet. I eat eggs every morning and meat and veggies the rest of the day. For an afternoon snack, I have a few nuts. Add nothing to drink but water, and I should be losing weight here pretty soon. I need to get on the tread mill and to the gym more to make the process go faster.

Congrats on your poker winnings. That's pretty cool. And Happy New Year to you, too!

Happy New Year! I finally got around to watching BSG: Razor. Now I can go look at your blog review and see what you thought of it.

By the way, don't feel bad. I was in another city and I still was asleep by about 12:30 so you're not alone in your NYE so-soness.

Hi Eric! Long time, no see (or talk).

Your New Year's Eve sounds just fine to me! I can't remember the last time Kris and I actually celebrated. This year we went to an early dinner/movie and were back home by 7:30.

Work is stinky when it gets stressful. Just keep ion mind that it will get better... it seems to go in waves of easy and hard.
