Happy Holidays Everyone!

I have been taking a little time to spend with family and friends IRL and it has been very nice.

The week before Christmas, my family and I did our normal drive through the city and look at the lights. We had a wonderful meal and then made our way through our normal route to see many new houses participating this year.

Christmas? Was just terrific as I finally entered the digital world by getting a DVR! WOO and freakin HOO! I have been playing with it and getting all my settings the way I want them.

Happy New Year and I will check in later!

Idiot alert!

Who are these idiots that I work with? Sometimes I wonder if I am actually working with humans or pods from Uranus.

There is a lady that I have been working closely with that doesn’t know any of today’s television shows, movies and/or stars. We were talking the other day about food and the Food Network. She said she watched the Food Network “all the time” and then I mentioned that I really really liked Alton Brown and Dave Lieberman. She had no clue who I was talking about….so she doesn’t watch the Food Network (much).

A little later we were talking about people doing really stupid stuff when they are high or drunk and I mentioned the incident with Matthew McConaughey…she again had no clue who he was. I tried to explain and she said that she hadn’t seen a movie in years. I thought ok…I can understand maybe that movies isn’t really her thing. As we continued, she let me in on a secret that she doesn’t like any movies that were made after the 1960s!

How the hell she can come to that conclusion without seeing the movies is beyond me butt is this woman for real?

I have seen Color Swatch Guy twice in the last week and we have been kidding around with each other…we will have to see where this is going.

Also, last night I had a dream that had me asking…WTF? I dreamed that I was in the Afghanistan Mountains with Anderson Cooper looking for Osama Bin Laden. WTF?

Quick Update

Not much to update for the past couple of days other than:

1) The guy that I had posted about earlier (the one with cancer and we helped raise money) came back to work today! It was exciting to see him and to know that he was ready to get his life back on track.
2) Color Swatch Guy: came by to see me yesterday (Sunday)! He didn’t have anything for my department but dropped by and made small talk and asked where a couple of other things were in the store. I am still getting the “pinging” from him…we will see!

My thoughts and prayers go out to the families of military men and women in Iraq as the death toll topped 2900 today…so very sad.
