Going away to visit the other half of the family for a week.  Most likely, I will be hiding away in a warm corner of the room doing some work.  Regardless, its nice being able to sleep in late and not worry about having to be somewhere.

I wanted to wish you all a happy and safe holiday!  Talk to you all soon.

Just heard that Comb H. got engaged.  Best wishes and luck from all your old friends of the past and present.

GO VIKINGS!

As you all know, I'm a tea lover.

This months special tea is called Pumpkin Spice Tea.  This is by far one of my favorites from Adagio teas.

I do not consider myself one of those crazy tea fanatics because when I am lazy I will break out the bagged tea... tsk tsk.

I haven't made a blog in a while.  Been sort of busy these days.

WoW is my primary game now.  It is just an easier game to play with a schedule that is unpredictable as mine.

I decided to take strides in making a couple of changes in my life.  This year has been very eye-opening for me.  A couple of unexpected funerals and serious illnesses of friends and family has changed my perspective on things a bit.  So [crosses fingers], I'm not sure how long I will feel convicted, but I'm actively trying to change small things for a healthier mental and physical lifestyle.  Thus, I'm making more home cooked meals from scratch and natural foods.  I am also trying to just make sure I get at least 30 mins of exercise 4-5 times a week.   I even purchased a new bedroom set with more drawer space, so I can organize our closets better without having to jam everything on a hanger.  Been thinking about going back to school and getting some graduate degrees for my professional development.  I just don't know how or if I can really manage work and school at the same time.  Then, eventually, I need to get myself going back to church on Sundays (tsk tsk).  Finally, I think I am going to get that tatoo I always wanted... question is... where?

I think I'm in love...

I'm a big tea drinker.  This is one of my favorite places to order tea.  I saw this tea maker the other day and I already put it on my Xmas list =)

A friend told me about ICE.  What a simple idea and a very good one too....

ICE - In Case of Emergency

A campaign encouraging people to enter an emergency
contact number in their mobile phone's memory under
the heading ICE (In Case of Emergency), has rapidly
spread throughout the world as a particular
consequence of last week's terrorist attacks in
London.

Originally established as a nation-wide campaign in
the UK, ICE allows paramedics or police to be able to
contact a designated relative / next-of-kin in an
emergency situation.

The idea is the brainchild of East Anglian Ambulance
Service paramedic Bob Brotchie and was launched in May
this year. Bob, 41, who has been a paramedic for 13
years, said: "I was reflecting on some of the calls
I've attended at the roadside where I had to look
through the mobile phone contacts struggling for
information on a shocked or injured person. Almost
everyone carries a mobile phone now, and with ICE we'd
know immediately who to contact and what number to
ring. The person may even know of their medical
history."

By adopting the ICE advice, your mobile will help the
rescue services quickly contact a friend or relative -
which could be vital in a life or death situation. It
only takes a few seconds to do, and it could easily
help save your life. Why not put ICE in your phone
now? Simply select your person to contact in case of
emergency, enter them under the word 'ICE' and the
telephone number of the person you wish to be
contacted.

Please will you also email this to everybody in your
address book, it won't take too many 'forwards' before
everybody will know about this.

It really could save your life, or put a loved one's
mind at rest.

For more than one contact name ICE1, ICE2, ICE3 etc...

This is one of those emails that gets forwarded a lot...

THINK ABOUT IT.

Ever wonder about people who spend $2 apiece on
those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian
backwards:  NAIVE

Isn't making a smoking section in a restaurant like
making a peeing section in a swimming pool? (My
sentiments exactly)

OK.... so if the Jacksonville Jaguars are known as
The "Jags" and he Tampa Bay Buccaneers are known as the
"Bucs," what does that make the Tennessee Titans?

If 4 out of 5 people SUFFER from diarrhea...does
That mean that one enjoys it?

There are three religious truths:
Jews do not recognize Jesus as the Messiah.
Protestants do not recognize the Pope as the leader
of the Christian faith.
Baptists do not recognize each other in the liquor
store or at Hooters.

If people from Poland are called Poles, why aren't
people from Holland called Holes?

Do infants enjoy infancy as much as adults enjoy
adultery?

If a pig loses its voice, is it disgruntled?

Why do croutons come in airtight packages? Aren't
They just stale bread to begin with?

Why is a person who plays the piano called a pianist
but a person who drives a racecar is not called a
racist?

Why isn't the number 11 pronounced onety one?

If lawyers are disbarred and clergymen defrocked,
doesn't it follow  that electricians can be
delighted, musicians denoted, cowboys dranged,  models deposed,
tree surgeons debarked, and dry cleaners depressed?

If Fed Ex and UPS were to merge, would they call it
Fed UP?

Do Lipton Tea employees take coffee breaks?

What hair color do they put on the driver's licenses
of bald men?

I was thinking about how people seem to read the
Bible a whole lot more as they get older; then it dawned
On me ....they're cramming for their final exam.

I thought about how mothers feed their babies with
tiny little spoons and forks, so I wondered what do
Chinese mothers use? toothpicks?

Why do they put pictures of criminals up in the Post
Office? What are we supposed to do, write to them?
Why don't they just put their pictures on the postage
stamps so the mailmen can look for them while they
deliver the mail?

If it's true that we are here to help others, then
what exactly are the others here for?

You never really learn to swear until you learn to
drive.

Ever wonder what the speed of lightning would be if
It didn't zigzag?

If a cow laughed, would milk come out of her nose?

Whatever happened to Preparations A through G?

As income tax time approaches, did you ever notice:
When you put the two words "The" and "IRS" together
It spells "THEIRS"?

I found this great site today.  As I go through it, I'm going to post my favorites videos.  This isn't a funny video, but I thought it was quite amazing.

We have a lot of brain damaged people in the US.

Probably not..

Besides the fact that you really don't care... I know you all complained about all the background noise through my desktop microphone.  Well, so... I started looking around for a good headset... damn, they are expensive these days.

Geez, these headsets are just so big... breaker breaker

Suggestions? Comments?

I have been using Rhapsody (http://www.rhapsody.com) for sometime now and I absolutely love it.  Every morning at work, I throw on my headphones, log in Rhapsody, and listen away while working.  I guess it is not really anything different than having all your mp3s stored on your drive and making a playlist, but it's pretty convenient if you can afford paying for the service.  I guess, I just got tired of trying to download or buying whole CDs when I am looking for just a song.  I have it downloaded at work and home, so I don't have to worry about transporting my music with me too.   The only inconvenience is when you are trying to play a game online while in Vent/TS and having everyone hear your sappy music through your speakers.  I should put on a headphone with a microphone, but I hate being that consumed in a game unless its an FPS game.

OK, for some reason it's really hard to see when new posts have been made... but there is a link on the top left (just below the menus) and says Not Read.  That's pretty cool. I can just go down that list instead of trying to find every thread.  This bbs is pretty cool, but I am still indifferent about it.

We were going to see Batman Returns, but it was pouring outside so we rented a movie instead.  By the way, since Blockbuster has that no late fee rule, it really sucks trying to get a hold of a good movie.  Anyways, we ended up watching Hitched.  It was a good movie to watch when your bored.  Light romantic comedy. I give it a 7 out of 10.
