Bringing Books to Work...

As I sit here at the front desk I typically see clients coming in, employees heading out for smoke breaks and lunch, and the occasional funny site of one of my colleagues heading out for his daily run with his trusty pooch...in a stroller (aging Dachsund). Yes I complain about my job but truthfully I do enjoy it. The people are great and I tend to receive off every day that I request. Ok, helps that my dad is the Owner. Today I Should be doing my work but I keep on getting distracted by a most entertaining book called Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows...you may have heard of it? Yes, I did pre-order it and read it the day it came out (in one sitting), but my lovely husband has decided he actually does like Harry Potter and I have been slowly reading him (skipping most parts) the entire Harry Potter collection. I have been fine up until this point but now that we are on the last book (again) I find myself drawn to it and unable to put it down, even if I already know the ending. Just one more page, just one more chapter and then I will do one more piece of work. I even find myself sneaking into the restroom to read a chapter, pretending that my lunch is the only reason I'm locked in there for 15-20 minutes. Alas I am getting closer to the finish line and am taking Monday and Tuesday off to visit my parents. Hopefully I will get it done in time so Wednesday is only devoted to work, and my slacking is my own doing and not due to my draw to another novel...

PS. If anyone has an suggestions on books to read let me know. I am almost finished the two books i am reading now.

Susie Foo

Ok so I was asked what is Susie Foo? A long time ago I was addicted to CD Compilations on ITunes and I used to make tons of cds with my favourite themed tunes on them and labeled them things like Susie Foo Sad & Somber, Susie Foo Pished (lots of drunken rock songs), That's Susie Foo to You!, etc etc. Pete thought it was quite funny and it stuck, especially when I made him a Susie Foo Love cd. I think a lot of them were hard rock, kick ass songs that basically told people to piss off. You know with lots of Heart & Dixie Chicks. (this is angry singleton, pre-Pete Susie Foo who couldn't get a date even if she dangled a tater tot casserole & frog eye salad from her head at a church social). Looks like it all came out allright, ditched the church social and prim boys who wanted a 2nd mother to marry, and started the rock albums and love cds (when Pete arrived) and enjoyed eating out more than cooking. I have yet to start a new album as I have ditched the Mac (not by choice but by lack of fundage) and Itunes (as it sucks on Vista, as does everything else). I may actually have to start understand Windows Media Player now just so I can make another compilation cd. Any ideas for a theme?

Born Again Blogger

Ok so I've blogged before but not for quite a while. Mostly I have just stuck to the addictive element of the endless survey, but never quite saying what exactly was on my mind. I am hoping that starting this blog that I will get more ideas and thoughts out and perhaps, just perhaps, come up with better ideas for that book I want to write. Right now I am going to keep this limited to those I invite so if anyone has a friend that wants to sign on let me know and i will add them. Uhh.. I think just Julie and Kellie are the only ones I know on this... Perhaps we will keep each other sane is this blogging world and try not to laugh Everytime the word Blog is said...
