Last night, with some help I finished the LAST of my Ebay listings. Woohooooo! Course, there's still a bunch-load of Magic cards to be listed, but as far as the stuff I was primarily dealing with, it's all listed. No more inventory left. I have 343 active listings. Maybe I should make a ticker for that. HA.
Argh, except that I just remembered that "one more thing..." of course... but at least it's just one thing. :)
I got a new office chair. It is way more comfy than my previous office chair. Between that and the regular exercising, my back is doing a lot better these days! Not perfect, but definite improvement. Woohoo!
Oh, I forgot to rag on Mike about the Spurs game L and I went to on Friday night. The Rockets were ahead by about 3 points the whole game, it seemed, up until the VERY last when we pulled ahead. It was great fun. I was especially pleased because 2 of the big guys were out on injury. There were some Rockets fans next to us that took off when the tide turned. Guess they got tired of the screamy girls jumping up and down next to them. :-D
I'm sure I had other things to post about that were far more important than any of this, but I feel light and fluffy today.
Speaking of light and fluffy, does anyone have one of those memory foam mattress toppers? If you do, do you like it? Dislike it? How many inches thick is it? Thanks for your helps in advance.

I just got an ad in my junkmail for "free gifts with purchase" from a cosmetic/body product company. Among those listed was a lip product:
Lift Radiance Essential Balm
With Pulping Effect
Teehee. |

I got up at 5:30. I went to work. I never went to my office. My coworker and I loaded up equipment in an SUV and drove a little over an hour out to cow (sheep? goats? grass?) country where we did water chemistry on five wells. I just got home. I'm sweaty, covered in dust, and I stink. And tomorrow I'll do it all again, except we're trying for six wells.
And you know what? It was a good day. I love field work. |

So as it turns out, I'm like the least festive Holladay ever. As I was contemplating my closet on this lovely Halloween morning, I realized I didn't even have an orange shirt to wear to work today! I'll have to go by Old Navy after work or sometime this weekend and pick up a little pumpkin shirt for next year. Do they still have those cute $5 tees?
I also didn't make pumpkin muffins, orange-sprinkled sugar cookies, or even a festive cake for my coworkers. I'm sure I'll be getting strange looks from them all day. "Who is this person, and why didn't she bring us food? She always brings us food?"
Sigh.
And you know what's worse? I didn't even bring Halloween candy. I know. Shoot me now.
Maybe I'll make up for it at Thanksgiving. Or maybe I'll run by the grocery store at lunch and appease my coworkers with store-bought cuppycakes. We shall see. :) |

It was a good weekend. Friday night Linds came over so we could watch Baby Mama. I'd started watching it with Sarah after Nat had said it was funny, but didn't get to finish. I'm glad I eventually did- it's hilarious!
Today I got a spam email with subject line: "Legitimate work at home job!" Well why didn't you say so sooner? Now of course I'll trust you!
Fantastic party on Saturday. Spent all day getting ready for it (thank you for the help!) but wound up with a great turnout and a lot of good times had by all. I was highly entertained at the pleo-name introductions. "Firebolt! Come meet Tess." Hahaha. Makes me want to bust out the chorus of "It's a Small World." I still think Benj had the best costume. He came as Hitman and totally looked just like it. Also, I just don't spend enough time with my kid brother anymore. I need to remedy that. He's such a cuteypants. Special thanks to Mark for doing so much cookin'. I don't know how he always gets stuck doing it, but I'm pretty sure if he weren't so stinkin' good at it, he would probably get to sit down and relax more.
Sunday I helped hostess a baby shower for Crystal, who is sadly not on pleonast. She's the cutest, most petite pregnant woman ever. I learned a lot about co-hostessing. I'm used to doing it by myself. I never was very good at groupwork.
In closing, I had cake for breakfast. Don't worry, I scraped off the icing. It's just that we had so much cake leftover from the party that it needed to be eaten. And I took pretty much all of the rest of it to work today, because if you bring leftovers here, they will disappear within an hour. The power of hungry scientists is a force to be reckoned with.
poll of the day: Do you like frosting/icing on your cake? Do you call it frosting or icing? Are there kinds you like and kinds you don't?
