The last two weeks have not been very pleasant. Sample: 1. work-Print server sharing 50 printers to 3 departments. Dead. 18+ hours to replace 2. home-one of my favorite fish. Fine Tuesday night, dead Wednesday morning. 3. work-the new phone system. So many issues, the phone guy spent 9 hours … Continue reading
Birthday Roses, originally uploaded by meglet. One of my wonderful co-workers had flowers delivered for my birthday! He says that no woman (no matter how short) should be without flowers on her birthday. Thanks Milton!
I have regrouped, enlisted reinforcements (in the form of better gardening gloves) and finally ripped out the rest of the Periwinkle vines today! There are still a few stragglers left that I will need to pull as time goes by, but the worst is done, and the lilies are rescued. … Continue reading

I’m really, really, really tired of the cold. Where the heck is spring already? It looks like a beautiful sunny day today, until you step outside and turn into a popsicle. Just like yesterday. Sun should mean WARMTH darn it! Having a happy geek moment with a program called Synergy. … Continue reading
Amazon released their rumored Kindle App for iPhone today! I’ve already downloaded and installed it, and it’s great for those times when I can’t or don’t carry my Kindle with me.
