Supposedly, I get my stimulus check on Monday, b/c my SSN ends in 00 and I am the first person on the tax return. woot.
I guess it's a good thing. I don't know that I will be spending it all immediately. We'll see what happens.
Also, we were cleaning downstairs and we found not one, but two RED spiders. Creepy. I'm creeped out right now. It was yucky.
Finally,
The Channel 10 Auction is on TV now until May 4. Neat. I like just leaving it on for noise.
Okay, now! The end.

Ho-ly Crap!
Man, I was just going back and reading over old posts from right after the accident and so forth....
Was I ever broken or what? geez. I feel like I'm reading someone else's life almost...I mean, I remember all that stuff happening, but good lord. Ridic.
But, I have gone through just about every single life change a person can possibly have in the past 2 1/2 years. Marriage, new job, moving, buying a house, changing jobs, death, miscarriage...should I just round it out with a divorce? Ha ha! Then we could get married again and it would be an excuse for everyone to get together again and drink it up! :)
Despite my current state of jobiness (i.e., I love/hate my job), I have never been more content in my whole life than I am right now. Maybe it's because Jake is at work! Kidding. :)
Yakob is coming to stay tomorrow night? Maybe? I told him he could.
The electrician came today and it was alright. It's about $650.00 to finish everything in the basement. He's coming May 8th to finish the rough-in on the electrical, b/c some of the stuff just didn't get done. But, that price is worth the basement getting finished and having Jake stay sane.
Re: JOB. I am seriously considering applying for another job -- one that I think that I might like a bit more. I'm not sure though. I will consider it for the time being.
OOh! That reminds me. I was going to do some work at home tonight and instead I've fucked around on the internet. whoops! I'd better get to it. I don't want to stay late tomorrow.
Later!

As time goes by
Nothing much to report.
I'm glad that it's more spring-y around here now. It's less depressing that way.
Work has been terrible basically and I'm really fucking tired of it. It's not been busy for the past couple of weeks, but now it's just impossibly slow. So, I can't win.
Progress on the basement continues to be slow as well. The guy is coming Thursday to check things out and hopefully we can get the City in here to check it so we can keep moving. I picked out carpeting and paint this weekend, so that's taken care of.
Everything else is very much the same.
I need a break.

I am convinced
That I have this learning disability. I only really have problems with flipping numbers around (which happens to me a lot) and the geometry thing (I really liked geometry in HS and I suffered through the other years of math)
Funny how I work in a job that depends on my using of numbers correctly.
Like I said, it's not severe, but it still affects me at some points in life. Mostly because I never realize that I have said/written said number backwards.
But, at least it's sort of a real problem.
Battlestar was amazing. Watching it again makes me realize how far off the path the show got last season and how much fun the first season was. My favorite epsiode, by far, is still '33 Minutes' from season one. Having to jump every 33 minutes...so sweet. I can't wait for this season to unfold. I still don't know if Kara is a Cylon or not. I can't decide. She must be though and here's my reason -- she was the only one not on the ship for those 2 months. So, when the Cylons triggered the remaining 5 cylon types, only 4 appeared. If it was someone else, we would know who all five were already. Make sense?
I also have had the immense pleasure of discovering the 2005 version of Pride and Prejudice on WE Tv or Oxygen or one of those girlie channels and promptly went out and bought the DVD. I am convinced that in one of my past lives, I was living in England during this time frame. I just love it. I wish it was easier for me to read Jane Austen's books. I have just a hard time following her style of writing, however well it translates onto the big screen.
Nothing much new to report. We're planning a trip to STL soon (in May). It's been close to a year, so it's probably time to make a trip again.
Work has calmed down a lot. We have help (a 4th person again) and one of the other women has taken back all of her work that was weighing her down a bit. And I'm am thrilled, because I'm generally done with my work by 12 or 1pm now, which means that I have time to catch up on other things now.
I think that we should probably arrange a viewing of BSG this season in a group. For those of us who watch. :)
