Hello all! It’s been a little since I last wrote. Time to catch all of you up on the happenings of me.

1) The dog quest has been put off for a little. Timing is not being my friend right now.
2) I am working WAY too much. Today was a marathon day (I’ll get to that later).
3) Angie and I made smores over the weekend ;-p

Now that we are all caught up time to elaborate.

The whole dog thing is still a goal for me just not until after I get back from my vacation in January. Reason? Well, if I went out and got a puppy I would have all of 3 weeks with it before I leave for my ski adventure. That wouldn’t be good for either of us. So, I shall wait.

Next, I am learning the down side of being on a salary: UNPAID OVERTIME. Today is a prime example. I arrived at work at around 6:30 am and I left about 12 hours later. I am tired. But on the up side some really neat things happened today. Over the last few days a fellow coworker and myself have been setting up and experiment that will run for the next month or so. My boss loved the set up. However, during the initial trial run the operators found a bug in our set up. Our fibers kept breaking during transport. My fellow coworker was out of the office for the day (family thing) so it was up to me to fix it, quickly. Long story short I fixed a major problem in less than and hour and my boss actually told me I did a great (not good) job. So it made the extra hours manageable.

NEWS FLASH:

My friend just called me. He wants me to think about moving to California with him for a year. Interesting. Hmmm

Anywho…

This Saturday I will be attending a Christmas party at my friend’s house in DC. Should be fun. I hope. At least I won’t have to wear a costume. Maybe this time I won't have to sleep on a hard wood floor without any covers. He sent a list of things that will provided at the party. It's a weird mix. It's a mix between and adult party and a college party. Cookies, good food, and wine mixed with (get this) Natty Ice (the female roomie actually requested this) and lots-o-booze. I'll be sure to take lots of pictures.

So, I am getting very sleepy. I’ve almost nodded off twice now.

Oh, Angie. Don’t worry. No fork-wielding maniacs have been around me for quite some time now. But I do appreciate the concern :-)

And now since I see that West Wing is over I must finish this up so I can head of to the comfort of my flannel sheets. If God has a bed I believe that His sheets would be red checkered plaid. I don’t know why. Anyway, later all.
