Wandering through E-Space

D.W.Q.M.: "Are you coming or going? Or going or coming?" -the Fourth Doctor Ah-ha! Well, I made it back in one piece. Yay! :) :) I had a great time-it was so good to see everybody. Things are crazy at work though-while I was away, over 500 approval books arrived and are now waiting to be unpacked down in the mail room. 21 boxes, and only one was a small box. ;) Oh, well-at least I won't be bored and searching for things to do. Since I have a long weekend ahead of me, if I'm not using it to recover from my vacation (in other words, sleep!) I will try to post about my trip up north-got a lot of great pics-including some Krismutt pics for his page. *heehee* The only bummer is my camera fell apart the last day I was there, and I think I need to send it away to have it fixed. :p Oh, and speaking of near-future blog entries, my apologies to Jerm, who has already heard most of my stories, since he picked me up from the airport Monday night. (Thank you, Jerm

D.W.Q.M.: "How about a trip in the TARDIS? I'm just off." -the Fourth Doctor Soon I will be on my way up North!! Yay! I can't wait to see my family and friends in MN. :) Now I just have to get through the rest of today. It doesn't help that the little Weather Bug on my desktop feels the need to keep reminding me that we are in a lake effect snow warning until noon tomorrow. As long as my plane can leave the area-it's all good. ;) My sister called me as I was getting ready for work this morning and asked me if my flight would be delayed. I stood there for a second and then said, 'I don't know! Why don't you ask me in another 12 hours?!?' Ahhh, gotta love my sister. :) Seriously though, I can't wait to see her new house!! (oh, yeah, and i can't wait to see her, too. LOL ;) ) She just recently acquired a Gamecube, so I'm bringing a couple of games up to play-I'm sure she'll love Simpson's Road Rage!!! :)

D.W.Q.M.: "Please, do not throw hands at me." -D84 (from 'The Robots of Death') Ah, my little sister is at it again-trying to trick me into telling her what she is getting for Christmas...I think she is starting early this year... But before we get into that... As I was getting off the bus in front of the library this morning, I noticed that someone, or a group of someones (probably students, taking a break from finals which are in full swing) made a fricken' huge snowman in front of the library! this thing was so big we were wondering how the heck they managed to get the head on! I was telling Jerm that I wish I had a camera to take a picture of it before it melted or was destroyed, and he told me to draw a picture. This is what I came up with: His eyes and buttons were made of apples, his nose-an orange, and his mouth was a banana! I loved the way the branches were positioned for his arms-made it look like he was posing for a picture. I wa

D.W.Q.M.: "The trouble with time travel is, one never seems to find the time." -the Fifth Doctor I updated my front porch for the season! Hope you enjoy it. :) Also, several of you have suggested at one time or another that I should have a link to my pages on my blog. I've finally added them, so you can access my front porch from the link on the left. :) Sorry this is such a short post, but I need to get some sleep-I have a long week ahead-lots of stuff I need to do before I head up north. (Yay, it's almost vacation time!!! I can't wait to see everyone) 'Nite all!

D.W.Q.M.: "Everything that happens in life has a scientific explanation -- if you look for it." -The Third Doctor It's time for another meteor shower!! The Geminids peak this weekend-December 13th-14th. According to this online article at Sky and Telescope, the prime viewing hours will begin approx. 10pm EST on the 13th, and will last until dawn. Up to 75 meteors per hour, and they will appear to be yellow. Of course the moon will wash out some of the fainter meteors. And, if you are Jerm, you will probably assume it will be cloudy. ;) Actually, if you are in Cleveland, you will probably be in agreement. (Forecast for Cleveland Saturday night : clouds! Rats! Oh, well-the weather has been known to change at the drop of a hat. Some interesting facts about the Geminids-they were only documented 150 years ago (the Persieds and the Leonids have been documented for centuries-earliest reference for the Persieds: 36 AD in China; the Leonids: roughly the beginning

D.W.Q.M.: "When I say run, I want you to run. Right, RUN!" -the Third Doctor Fave line of the day: "...show me an anthropologist who dresses like this, and I will eat this headdress." -Captain Samantha Carter Before I start my story, I would like to send out a big CONGRATULATIONS! to my friend Sarah and her husband, Matt. They will be expecting their first child in May. Yay!!! *Hugs*, Sarah!!!! Okay, now onto my story. It actually begins Monday night. See, the problem was that I had too many things due on Wednesday, three different places-the Blockbuster in South Euclid, the Cuyahoga County Public Library in South Euclid, the Main library in Cleveland Hts, and good ole' KSL. KSL wasn't really a problem-I go into work everyday, so it's not out of the way at all. The South Euclid places are right up Mayfield, so all I have to do is hop the 9 and keep going 'till I get there. The Main library, on the other hand, is out of the way. Oka

D.W.Q.M.: "One moment you're talking about the entire universe blowing up and the next you're going on about tea... You'll be consulting the entrails of a sheep next." -the Brigadier Favorite line of the week: "Hey, if you had been listening you'd know that Nintendos pass through everthing." -Col. Jack O'Neill Choose the answer that best fits the statement: Last week Romana learned: a) Switching vendors is as easy as pie b) You really can decorate a la Mary Poppins style ( *snap!* ) c) Mario Kart Double Dash is the suckiest game ever d) It's not so easy to get the smell of garlic out of your hand If you chose either "a" or "b", then you are living in a fantasy world... please, tell me how to get there... If you chose "c", then you are totally out of your mind!! If you chose "d", then you are 100% correct-you get a cookie! ;) Thursday I helped Persephone make dinner, which require

D.W.Q.M.: "I can see you've been doing the TARDIS up a bit. I don't like it." -the Second Doctor to the Third Doctor Sometimes I forget just how much preparing needs to be done before I can actually start decorating. Step 1: Remove most non-holiday knicknacks and stuffed animals from living room and dining room areas. Step 2: Clear desk and table of papers, paid bill stubs, magazines, junk mail and other assorted stuff that makes it's home there. Step 3: Dig out all boxes marked 'Christmas' from all nooks and crannies. As I struggled with removing some of the bigger boxes from my small closets, I came to the sad realization that I have probably reached my limit of Christmas decorations. (the funny part about this is I can see my friends reading this with a look of mock-horror and/or shock and saying, 'No! really?!?! ' ;) ) I have repacked and rearranged everything dozens of times, and i'm not sure I can find room for some st
