| I hate being sick. Since Friday, I've felt like garbage. Friday, I was very sick to my stomach. Saturday, I could eat again - but I had a headache most of the day. Sunday, chills/fever, earache and headache. Monday - the same....but I couldn't stay awake. Today, I'm going to try and go to the doctor. Anyway - life's been pretty crazy since my last update. Tony had sugery, which went well. His mom stayed here for 2 weeks, which was interesting. Christmas came and went. Emily and Jorgie were so fun this year. We had a little New Years party here this year, which was fun. Alot of rock band, a few bottles of wine. BTW - I love the game rock band. I finally moved up to playing on the hard level. I need more practice though - don't play alot lately. January is sort of a blur. I spent the month working and hanging out as much as possible. Melisa Pio came home. Jason and Melissa got married. Jorgie and Mihret turned 1. The Bass twins debuted. Iris and Ian are just beautiful. February dawned. My birthday came, 22 folks went to dinner. I felt very loved. Its pretty amazing to think I have such wonderful friends. I've been looking for jobs - and my friends are the biggest reason I keep looking in the valley instead of other facets of GE. I could move anywhere - and it would impossible to find another group of people like I have. I got my passport. Now I can see the world. Mostly, I just worked and had movie nights, hung out with Sandra and stayed around the house. I helped Katrina with wedding stuff, her shower was this past weekend - which was cool. Its just a month til the wedding - so we have to finish the favors soon. Possibly this Sunday. Two weeks ago, I spent time at Stacey's. We took Emily to the waterpark - it was so much fun!!! Watching her was adorable......stomping on the water spigots. We've kept up movie night - seen some good flicks: Mr. Smith Goes To Washington, Mr. Deeds Goes To Town, and possibly one of my favorites- The Godfather Of Green Bay! Keeps going strong though, George and Brenda, Jason and Casey, Jason K and me. Small group - but we enjoy ourselves. Looking forward to spring and summer though - never thought I'd say that. I hate the snow...hate it hate it hate it. | | |
| so i missed a day already of blogging!
yesterday i worked, and worked late. tony and melinda made me dinner for taking care of the beasts while they were gone to Tony's family. it was cool. then we played some christmas trivia and i caught up on chuck. i love that show. tonight is the biweekly movie night. jason, casey and jason2 came over. we are watching some like it hot. this movie ROCKS. its highly suggested if you haven't seen it - i suggest it. work has been better this week. i've been getting a lot accomplished. i am trying to focus on a few things each day. if i can catch up, i'll be happy. next week is already thanksgiving - so i need to update by 2 things i'm thankful for -
1) friends to spend free hours with
2) taste buds.
i know that sounds kinda cheesy - but i am. tonight casey brought dinner. everything tasted absolutely wonderful. i was very happy to be able to sample it. george and brenda didn't make it tonight - they were home - sickly. i feel that pain - i'm finally feeling better - but still sleeping A LOT.
my career coaching was moved from tuesday to friday - i said - oh great, ruin my weekend. natalia said oh sue - it won't be like that at all. we'll see.
i knocked a few more movies off "the list". i watched "the magnificent ambersons" and "gigi" and "the barrets of wimpole street".

| its been a very long while since i blogged at all. things have changed in my life quite a bit. i've moved to neenah. i live with tony and melinda now. its nice having someone to come home to. i'm working as hard as ever. i see very little of my friends anymore it seems. everyone's life is changing. a lot of new kids joining the gang. 2 through adoption ( GO ETHIOPIA AND GUATEMALA ) and 2 naturally. i've started spending a lot more time with casey, jason and jason k. we play games like once every couple of weeks...its very very nice. we've also started a movie night. opposite the doctor who club meetings, a group of us meet to watch classic movies. we are attempting to watch the movies off "the list". i'm pretty excited about the # of movies i'll have moved off the list this year. the afi updated the 400 nominees for top 100 - so that helps too. tcm is my new favorite channel. i've gotten back into watching a lot of tv. i typically try to catch chuck, the biggest loser, cross country w/ john edward, life, criminal minds, pushing daisies, american chopper, what not to wear, queer eye and project runway starts this week! queer eye ended forever.....very sad very sad indeed. i loved that show. it was such comic relief. lately, i've been watching old sitcoms on tv land. i miss that. i miss the days of SITCOMS. they were my favorite types of tv shows. i'm watching wings and night court as i dvr them each day. caught the pilot about a month ago - and have been watching them since. i've been taping movies off tcm and amc. i am kind of surprised every time i watch one of these old movies and i actually enjoy it alot. my family is good. my nieces are growing - i can't believe emily is 2 and jorgie is almost 1. just amazing. they are both so adorable that i feel bad for other families. we got 2 really really cute babies - so someone didn't. work has been absolutely crazy. i was in buffalo on a steady basis through september. i've been home - and i like it. thank god for t&l freezes. i've been just buried though. i lost my assistant and hopefully now i'll be getting some help from the old genpact team. i can't do my job, my assistant's job, and do the turbo coordinating and the ap coordination positions. too many hats. its that time of year when we get career coaching and start writing up our ems. we'll see what natalia has to say about me and where i go from here. i am hoping that we set up a solid plan to move me up in the sourcing organization. the holidays are coming. thanksgiving with the family is always so important to me. its wonderful to have that time with my sisters, their husbands and kids, and my mom. i am so very thankful for them. i've decided that from now until thanksgiving - i'm going to try to post daily - and give something new i'm thankful for. today - its my family. i got to spend a few hours with my little jorgie today - and she is so sweet - so precious. she's such a happy baby. didn't cry unless her mommy made her made. i can't wait to see emily and hopefully she won't be scared of me this time. BTW - gift wrap for habitat for humanity opens the friday after thanksgiving. if you have spare money and want spare time - take your gifts to the mall!!! the money goes to support the fox cities branch of the habitat office. think of all the good it does in the community. if you have free time and want to help - contact the fox cities office, they can get you set up to wrap gifts. i can't wait. i've signed up for a large # of hours this season again. i just love the hustle and bustle of the season. movie suggestion of the day: the postman always rings twice. its an interesting little movie....pick it up if you have a chance. | | |
| Its finally Friday!! Anyway - I've almost been back 2 full weeks now...and that is amazing. This week at work has been nightmarish to say the least. Our CEO is coming next week - so there is a full court press to appear on top of the game! Why don't they ask for some of this analysis when the projects are live - that is my question.
I'm hanging out with Team Pio tonight - if they ever get home. Sandra said Dan would be home from work about 6. Its now almost 7 and I don't know where any of them are. I played with Bubba a while in the backyard - figured I'd kill time on the net waiting for them to come home. I told Sandra I'd be here by 7.
I'm planning on working in the house most of the day tomorrow - I want to get things accomplished so I can bring in the replacement furniture, the ac, etc. I also really want to be able to just come home and relax after work - main goal!!! Sunday, I'm having brunch with Jan and Rick. That should be fun - then I'm going in for probably 5 or so hours. We'll see what I can get accomplished. My support person was out most of this week - even though he just started - that doesn't help. Although - with as much running as I did today, it was probably better he wasn't sitting there bored.
Tony called me - sounds like San Fran is alot of fun for them. They have been doing wine tastings.
Wednesday night I worked late. Jan and I had dinner together. She asked about daddy - so she got a long drawn out story.
Today's revelation: A lack of planning on someone else's part is almost always an emergency for me to take care of - and I'm SICK of it.

| Well - things are back to "normal". I started training my new assistant today. He seems like he might work out. Of course - its early. He's already off work tomorrow. I myself am SWAMPED. I can't believe how far behind you can get while doing training. Anyway - I'm working tonight from Tony & Melinda's place. I'm taking them to the airport tomorrow for California. Lately - I have been to Georgia and New York and Wisconsin - not sure I want to do any travel any time soon. It was nice to spend time with family though on my weekend in Atlanta. I have been thinking more and more lately about the relocation options with my job. Are they something I want to pursue? My life and my needs have changed a lot in the last year. I am spending more and more time with me - a prodcut of being alone most of my days. I've watched SEVERAL movies off my list - and need to get back to that. In the next week, I want my house done - all my stuff moved in it from whereever its being stored. Most importantly - I want to be able to cook dinner, have folks over, just curl up and watch a movie in the comfort of my own home. I think I'm going to get cable - we'll see. My new goal is one new revelation a day about myself. Today's revelation: I am a true procrastinator. This is a character flaw - and I am going to take daily steps to take control of my time and get things accomplished in a timely manner. Currently, the smallest excuse is big enough to avoid something I'd rather not do. | | |
