It's spring, the snow is melting, so there are piles of dirt and garbage everywhere.  My allergies are acting up or out, or something.  Then it tried to snow again today - but it didn't stick to the ground.  I walked to and from work today.  I can see an end, an end to winter. 

Spring also means the last 6 weeks or so of television.  I both love and hate season finales.  They are some of the best episodes, great writing, acting, directing, and exciting plot devices.  It also means we are closer to summer reruns - which I do not like.  So it is happy, and sad.

Will you be my valentine?  I think I have fallen in love with you.  Your pretty and black.  Your back is shiny.  You're constantly in my possession.  Sometimes I hold you in my hands.  Sometimes I just let you sit there while I listen to your soothing sounds.  At the gym you pump me up and encourage me to keep going.  At night you are with me until I fall asleep.  Sometimes your loud, but that's ok, sometimes I am loud too.  You never mind driving with me place in my car.  You don't make fun of my off key, out of tune singing.  You have a wide variety of taste in music. 

Oh, iPOd, will you be mine? 

(now if only I was in the US I could subscribe to get CSI episodes on my iPOd every week.  Darn.  Most of the time I love being a Canadian - but sometimes . . . )

unless I write about it in my blog.  

So it has been a crazy couple of weeks.  I have gone slightly MIA.  I apologize.  I missed you all. 

On Jan 8 our installations team at work was split up into 4 separate teams.  I now work downstairs in customer service.  It's a whole different floor.  My desk is bigger.  I don't have to put up with some of the people I don't like as much.  I am almost settled in now, almost.  But it was a big change and sometimes my head still spins. 

On Jan 19 I went on a weekend trip to Jasper.  It's the annual ski trip organized by a friend of mine at work.  This is my fourth year.  I don't ski.  I spend the weekend shopping, eating, driking, dancing and having an excellent time.  This was the best year yet.  It took me until Wednesday before I started to feel normal again.  I can't say anything more - ecspt I got a shirt that says "What happens in Jasper, Stays in Jasper."  It sums up the whole weekend.

CSI Season 7 ROCKS!!!  I mean, it's not the same without Grissom the past couple of episodes - but if he's going to be gone - this is damn good television.

My only wish SIGN UP FOR SEASON EIGHT JORJA!!!

It's minus 17 outside (1 degree for those of you with that outdated Farenheight system) - but with the wind it feels like minus 28 (convert it yourself). 

Visability is crap - it's freaking cold - it's a blizzard (really, the weather channel told me so).

And of course it's my day off . . . I had plans . . . but I fell on my a$$ just walking to my car, in my boots - then the car wouldn't go up the small hill, so I drove the long way around to get out of my apartment complex  - when I spun the car out I figured it was a sign.

So I slowly drove back home and I am going to stay here until I have to leave for work tomorrow.  Where are the grating and sanding trucks?

Schools are still open - people are going to work - but they (um who are "they" anyway??) suggest if you don't have to go anywhere to stay home.  Sigh. 

It's only going to get colder - you know it's bad when the line on the 14 day trend goes below the chart - here's an idea  - make a new chart to include miuns 34.  Or maybe it should never get that cold.

Thank goodnes for CSI season 6 (all I have left are the commentaries) and CSI: New York season 2.  If anyone is looking for me I'm bundled under blankets on my couch.

I love the Christmas holiday season - but my already busy life has become increasingly more hectic.

At work things are changing - as of January the departments ar changing around a bit.  Processes are suppossed to change too.  Everything is a little bit up in the air right now.  We're suppossed to have some meetings this week and find out, well, stuff.  It's just all a little confusing.  Let alone we are going through the holiday rush where people want to get security systems installed before the holidays.

At home - my rommate got a second job on the weekends.  It's great, well maybe, she's not sure about it yet.  Unfortunatle this means that our Sunday trip to the movies is not happening.  We'll have to make a plan to go on Friday night. 

I'm also trying to get my home cleaned up and decorated for Christmas.  I love all my holiday knick knacks.

My company's Holiday Gala was on Friday.  So much fun.

It's all down hill from now until January 2 - I have to go Christmas shopping, see if I can buy something nice to wear Christmas Day, get my car fixed - etc, etc, etc.  It's fun but a little crazy.
