Vacation
by Denise Sawicki on December 22, 2006
Well I requested some time off work until January 3rd... For the price of 4 vacation days I get 11 days off. We're going to go visit my husband's older brother in Wisconsin around New Years... Too bad I don't have any anxiety medication or anything because I might need to be heavily drugged up in order to face the pileup of work that's going to be there when I return, without screaming... Hehe, you know I'm messed up when I'm already pondering the end of vacation before it starts. I'm a glass-half-empty kind of person. Sigh. Seriously though, I should try to work in shorter vacations in the future because they're less stressful.

I'm (finally) on vacation until the 8th or 9th (since the 8th is my birthday, I haven't decided on it yet), and -- not to be flip or callous, but -- thank you, Mr. Ford, for the extra day of leave that I won't have to spend. You were a good man.

We didn't wind up going to Wisconsin. Long story. I went back to work a day early. Still a good long relaxing vacation!

Bablyon 5 vs. Little House on the Prairie
Darrell is checking out a lot of Babylon 5 DVDs from the library lately. I watch it too when I get a chance. Anyway, perhaps it's because we're nuts, but we think that show has a bizarre number of parallels with Little House on the Prairie. Go »Our dog is smart
Our sheltie, Philip, is really smart. Here is his latest Oscar-worthy film, where he shows off his ability to mimic Darrell doing the following actions: turn a circle, stretch, sneeze, lie down, roll over (partway), hop, and speak: link Philip also knows how to read a few words, kind of, though I think he gets bored with it :-). Currently he's in school for agility, which entails learning how to run around a course jumping hurdles and using tunnels and seesaws in a prescribed manner. Go »American Gothic
Well, for quite a while I have had nothing to say to anyone about anything and it is getting a bit claustrophobic. So I figured I should start saying some things into the void, dumb and trivial as they might be. A while back there was a video store closing sale so we picked up a number of TV series on DVD at 75% off. Go »Crazy day
More happened today than in my usual month I think... which goes to show you how uneventful my life is. So I don't think sleep is really going to happen. Go »Giant flakes of cereal
The big news of today is we found a big flake of raisin bran crunch. I don't know if it's quite as big as the one featured in the coming link but it's pretty big. You can get some idea of what my life is like because I then proceeded to google for "largest flake" and "giant flake". Go »
