I pissed someone off somewhere...
I mean, I've had to. Literally, it's been one thing after another. Here's some of the things I've been dealing with during my last week of 2007. And, this is only the stuff I'm willing to share.
The bad stuff...
Christmas Eve: My laptop blue screens and has an irrecoverable error. So, I need to reformat then restore from a backup. The real problem is that I need a backup that doesn't exist.
Last Friday: My garbage disposal has corroded through and has pretty much all but damaged the cabinet beneath the sink. Cheers to disgusting sink water!
This Morning: The turtle tanks Fluval 305 filter has a bad O-ring and leaked close to 10 gallons of water on our newly installed wood floors, last night. Double cheers to disgusting turtle water!
The good stuff...
Though I hadn't full copied over everything, most of the important stuff on my old laptop is now on a Latitude D820.
The garbage disposal has been replace with a newer, more powerful unit.
The turtles are fine and still hungry as ever.
The floor? Well, that's another story... I'll deal with that later.
Moral of the story?
There isn't one. If I had to think of one, it would be "Chin Up."
Anyway, I plan on taking 2008 on just like 2007... just roll with the punches and take things one step at a time.

It's 4:50pm...
It's 4:50pm on the Friday before the weekend before New Year's Eve.
And, Where am I?
I'm at work.
How much do I suck?
A whole freaking lot!
"metastasizing"
I've heard this word way too many times over the past couple of weeks and it's really disturbing. Usually, it's in reference to something medical, obviously cancer related... but, tonight while watching Larry King Live, the word "metastasizing" was used to describe the current situation with Pakistan in reference to terrorism, the taliban and Al-Qaeda.
Personally, with everything going on, I'm feeling overwhelmed and, now, I'm deeply saddened over the events that have and are happening in Pakistan.

Benazir Bhutto was assassinated yesterday.
Not only was she the youngest and first woman to ever head the government of a Muslin-majority state, she was also a wife and mother to three children. Her life was filled with many obstacles and challenges, but she stood by her convictions and lost her life doing what she believed in. And, as with any loss of life, there is tragedy, but Bhutto's death has world wide repercussion.
What's going to happen in the upcoming days, months, or years? No one really knows. Analysts are speculating, presidential candidates are still campaigning and people are questioning.
All I know is that while my kids are worried about having to eat their vegetables, I'll be worried about getting them better prepared for a scary and very uncertain world.

ACEROSE?!?
In the time it took my to post my last blog... Miss Sherrie D has played another bingo.
sigh... So, yes... four bingos in five move.
BTW, for those of you not in the know, acerose is an adjective for needlelike, as in the leave of pine.
I'm sure I could say some naughty reference to some sexual euphemism, but my brain is pretty spent just trying to keep up w/ Sher in this game.
