Not so bad

I love winter...

...and today is opposite day! Monday after work, I smashed up my Miata. Just another reason to love winter in Wisconsin. It had snowed earlier, then the sun came out, then it got really cold. As a result there was black ice everywhere. Shouldn't have even been driving the Miata, but I had been waiting for my snowtires for the Nissan to come in. They had been on backorder. Apparently you are supposed to order snowtires in summer. Guess when my snowtires came in? Yesterday. One day! Ugh. I will try and post a pic of the Miata. Body shop quote is $2477.

Other than that. Not much going on. Greg and I are in the process of planning Thanksgiving dinner. We are having my brother, Bret over. He doesn't like my other brother's family and I don't like getting together with all of those people either. So, just the three of us. Should be pleasant.

Narcissus

I'm too busy to blog but check out my narcissus bulbs! I've started a trend here. At least 10 other people in my dept have bulbs at their desks now.

Oh Happy Day

I am absolutely thrilled about our new President Elect, Barack Obama!! I am proud to be an American for the first time since 911. His speech, Tuesday night, brought me to tears!!!

Other good news. I scheduled my remaining vacation days and starting the week of Thanksgiving, I will not work more than 3 days a week until the second week of January. Yipeee!

Just stuck some money in repairs into the Miata and new tires are on their way for the Nissan. Should be switching cars soon.

Election Day

The lines at the polls are long. Know why? Americans can't wait to do their part to make sure we don't get another W in office!
Of course Alan Shore ripped McCain a new one last night. It was great! I have to wonder what James Spader's true political inclination is.
So today I get to vote for America's first black president AND I get to top the day off with a Neil Diamond concert!! Big day!
