Yeah I know...but I figured you all would enjoy this lovely picture to make up (HA!) for my absence.  Yes, that is Harley. He made a new friend. And the scary thing is he hasn't left! It's been an hour and a half and he's still curled up on Bucky's lap. (Bucky is the center peice of my Halloween display and will be running for president, if you are wondering why I have a skelelton dressed in a suit on my recliner...) In other news, I got a (nother) promotion at work! Now I get a pager and am on 24/7 call...weeeee! Tax Season, here I come.

So this is totally fucked up. For about the last year, my uncle on my father's side has been going downhill healthwise. He's been in and out of comas for a while and we all knew that his time was coming. It was just a matter of when. Now my aunt, who is my dad's sister and only remaining family member, has had to take care of this guy and it has been taking an extreme toll on her health as well. Last I heard, she was down to 89 pounds. She and my father haven't been speaking for the better part of decade from the fallout of my grandmother's death. See, Aunt Jeanne had to solely take care of Grandma, who had Alzheimer's for about a decade, because they were up in Philadelphia and Dad was down here. Dad, because he didn't want to see his mother in that state, refused to go up there and visit, and a riff eventually formed. Well, long story short, when it came time for the will, Grandma left everything to Dad, my brother, and I (we're the only grandkids on that side of the family, Aunt Jeannie never had any), because she and Grandpa played favorites and Dad was Grandmas, but since dad never visited, Aunt Jeannie kept it all for herself because she felt (not totally disagreeing with her either) that since she had dedicated more resources, she was entitled to it. Which just made things even worse... So come to yesterday. So my uncle finally died at around 6:00 AM. By 2:00 PM, my aunt was also gone. She literally worked herself to death taking care of her husband and had developed pnuemonia. I literally have no idea how to feel right now. Talk about a downer for Christmas. Speaking if which, Jennie!! I got your present. I LOVE THEM!!! I've never heard of Purdy's before, but they are now on my favorite list. THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I'm sorry I haven't been able to answer, work is still trying to kill me. BUT THANK YOU AGAIN!!!!

See, there is a drawback to working at the same place as your spouse.

In short, long days with the major software release next week...but I still wanted to say. HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!!!!!!
|
|||

Thank you for our talk. I can't say it enough, you really have no idea what it meant to me. I just needed to hear a friendly voice. I owe you one.

It's things like this that make me lose my faith in humanity.

So remember my friend, Kevin? The one who's wife and he were really trying to have a baby and couldn't...but finally conceived with help?
|

I'm sure you know this, but just in case you forgot...WE LIVE IN A CAPITALISTIC SOCIETY!!!!

And all this time people thought I was crazy because I hate getting up in the mornings.

It will be too soon. Two weeks of working late, on the weekend, and having to put up with a prick who pissed off everyone he was working with because he thought he was better than the rest of us. Damn Sales and their bullshit. "Hey! Let's get this program out! Sure it doesn't work, but if we get it out now, we can make a profit! " Never mind all the pissed off customers, at least you make your quota. I'm sorry, when the VP of Development is saying it doesn't work...you don't need to put it out. Reputation, what reputation? All that matters is sales gets their money. </rant>

I'm very happy for him and his wife. They have been wanting kids for the longest time and they finally got their wish. I hope it is everything they want it to be.

Today, we became the proud new owners of an exercise bike. Never mind that I have a gym at my work place (and the flex time to get it in whenever I choose too), and never mind that I am married to someone who requires exercise because of surgery (you would think I would just go into the gym and work out with him), my fat ass still won't do what I need it to do.

Bah! Part of the problem with going to all the ballparks in the country, is they seem to like building new ones occasionally. It's bad enough I have to go stomach another visit to Skankee stadium (and the only way I was able to do it last time was because Ventura was playing on the Skanks at the time..fuck you Steve Philips...bastard trading my favorite player to the team I was raised to hate...I nearly got disowned because of you!!!!), because they are getting a new one in 2009 (although I get to go to Shea once again to see my Metsies! because of this), but now you are telling me I have to hit Washington D.C. again too? When did this happen? I know the Nationals are a pretty much ignored team, but how did I miss the fact they are getting one next year?! Oh well, I guess we get to hit the Smithsonian again. And the cheetah cubs!!! I love me some cheetahs. I want one for a pet, but Justin seems to think we can't do it for some reason....bah.

Ok, before I start, I want to put up a disclaimer. I HAVE BEEN SPOILED. While I did NOT read the copy or alot of the finer points of the plot, I do know some of the deaths and such. And I do know parts of the Epilogue. That said, I still wanted toput up my predictions. I had these written up last week, and was going to post them today as my way of preparing for the finale...but then the spoilers hit. So yes, I am totally wrong on some of these, but well, these were honestly what I thought was going to happen before Wednesday. So without further delay.. So you have them. I know alot of these are wrong, but these are honestly what I thought at the time. Everyone, enjoy the series...and be prepared to cry...alot.
