Punkins!

Here's the pumpkins Cole and I carved. I figured Jack would be good for the white one, and Cole picked out the pattern for the orange one. I think they turned out pretty cool. Jack's mouth was a pain, but not too horrible.

Stupid addictive computer games ...

My husband is a bad influence. He has me hooked on this stupid game. (World of Warcraft for those of you who aren't familiar.) This is my Draenei hunter, Nyura, and her kitty, who is — yes — transparent. Because he's a ghost saber. I think they make a fine pair. Here they are at Stormwind Harbor (on the dock to Auberdine, to be exact). I thought the colors were nice. It is a beautiful game.

MMMMMM duuuuump caaaaaake

So I wanted some dump cake and I made some (blackberry dump cake, to be precise). To keep myself from eating the ENTIRE pan and being violently ill and several pounds heavier, I made it at work, where it disappeared. I got two servings at work (for which I got looked at like a pig). There was one serving left at the end of the day, which I took home and ate for dinner. Hey don't look at me like that. I would've eaten it for DESSERT, but my dinner was ruined because my stupid timer decided the day I was using it for crock pot fajitas would be a good time to DIE. So no dinner. To console myself, I went straight for dessert. I'm an adult. I can do that. :P

I hate computers

I have my computer back now after a week. The hard drive died in the middle of backing up for the first time in far too long. So I took it to the Apple Store, where the nice people sold me a new hard drive (which they had to install). Today, I picked it up, along with the dead dead dead hard drive they removed from it, which I will likely be sending off to data recovery. Bleh.

So now I get to reinstall EVERYTHING. Yay. And of course this happened with our good buddy Hurricane Ike on its way to Houston to beat my family silly. Thankfully I still had my iPhone to check up on conditions there. Well, and the several people from that area who we've been sharing our office with. I've been looking stuff up and relaying info to my electricityless mother all day today.

ANYWAY, I'm back, and I'll be playing catchup all weekend. Yay.

Why I love my job

Ya gotta love a place where you can work with a stuffed tiger on your head and only get one or two strange looks.
