this no computer crap is for da birds.
the Husband has been taking the laptop to work with him for the last few weeks. but man. i didn't realize how much time after work i spend reading, perusing and researching (read: goofing off) on the 'net until my toy is gone from me.
and all these great ideas i have for posts...until i get home and remember that i don't have the laptop and so can't write 'em down.
yet another good argument for ginkgo whatever.
so - let me work on the Readers' Digest version of where and what for me.
- temporarily reassigned to yet another supervisor. this should only be until January and i should be going back to my current supervisor. maybe.
- took today off - did a buttload of laundry, including all our bedding.
- Christmas shopping. and no, i cannot share. he reads here, y'know.
- made a present for a friend.
- napped. naps are goooood.
- cleaned my stove. it was gross.
- embarrassed myself at the laundromat. let me explain how:
at my laundromat - when one of the machines is out, there's a note taped over the card reader (this one uses a card like an ATM, no change needed). i'm loading, loading, loading..
and loaded right into the broken one. and shut the door. and locked it.
dork.
i went off to find the manager, and after telling her my silliness, she laughs and walks away. i'm thinking that perhaps the language barrier snuck up and i scamper (yes, i occasionally DO scamper) after her and ask if she can unlock the door for me.
she walks over and turns the handle.
yep. that was it. the door opened like magic.
New Rule for Valerie #1,648, 287 - DO NOT go to the laundromat UNTIL YOU'VE HAD CAFFEINE OF SOME SORT.
reasonable request, dontcha think?
and for those of you who do enjoy a good Starbucks - let me share my new fave, if you haven't tried it already - the Peppermint White Chocolate Mocha.
and no, i do not want to know how many calories it has.
in other news...
we had our Bunco Christmas party on Tuesday. our tradition is to go out to dinner, then to the hostesses' home for a gift exchange (where we steal presents and it can get vicious)where i went from having a Wedgewood blue tablecloth with matching napkins and some cheesy looking glass Irish Coffee mugs (don't drink that, thankyouverymuch, but would've loved the tablecloth. then i remembered i have a cat who loves to pull things off other things AND to claw things and got over it. the sting was made easier when i stole the $25 Cheesecake Factory gift card. come on over, girls, dessert's on me!).
longest run on sentence ever just now. wow.
next week - at work and at a friend's home - we're having White Elephant gift exchanges.
now that's fun. and, yes i found the most obnoxious white elephant ever.
ev-er.
when at the swap meet last week, i found this cheesy plastic bird cage with horribly ugly birds in 'em.
it has a motion sensor.
oh yeah. it chirps, moves around and is just horrible. hor-ri-ble.
cannot wait.
because nothing says Christmas like a motion sensor bird cage.

So... when you bought this bird cage, did the clerk have a horrified "i can't believe she is buying this thing" look on her face??
And, Santa needs to bring you your own laptop to you can play. I have my own Valerie withdrawl. :O)
The rest of us are having withdrawls too, not having your stuff to read!
My MIL gave us a gift like that - it was a wall plaque with a bird on it that sings whenever anything in the house moves - luckily, hubby is a klutz, and he broke it! LOL!
