Whew! I survived another Monday! After a few days off it was tough to get up early again this morning, but I forced myself to get going eventually. Work turned out to be not that crazy today which was nice not to be tossed into the shark tank on the first day back from the holiday. This evening I went out to the bookstore and bought some more manga. This time I got xxxHolic #6 (took forever to release that), Full Moon #4, and something that I honestly never thought that I would see - Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne #1. It would seem that Arina Tanemura's time has come at last. Now I'm back here to install some more theme layouts, hopefully I'll get some comments one way or the other. ;;

Hmm, what happened today? Nothing exciting except for it being horribly windy outside. It wasn't very cold so the wind didn't feel bad, it just made a mess of my hair. @_@ This evening I did some reading and played FFXI for a little while. So it was a rather quiet day for me.

One last visit to the forum for tonight. I've just finished doing some reading, but before that I went out this evening to one of my church group meetings. Work was a lot like yesterday although I did spend a little more time out in the shop babysitting a couple of jobs that I have in the works at the moment. So far this week has been going by rather quickly for some reason, but I guess that's just the way things happen sometime. The weather turned colder again today and after being warm yesterday I'm starting to feel a little iccky again. This is one of those times of the year when I always seem to get the sickies ...

Hehe, I failed to make another one of these last night, so I must have been too pooped to go online or something. It was a Friday today, and the end of another work week. It was a rather busy at work today, so things went by very quickly and there wasn't any long drawn out waiting for the weekend to come. This evening I only visited online for a short time and then I fell asleep for a bit. After dinner I did some more reading and watched a movie with the kiddies. Now I get to surf the web one more time today.

Here it is 10:30PM and I finally show up at the form. XD Well, what that means of course is that I've had a busy day in the real world today. This morning was the same as every Saturday so I went to the bowling alley with the kiddies. Then after lunch I went out shopping for a while and when I came back I started watching the 12 Kingdoms anime series. If dinnertime hadn't interrupted that, I'd probably still be watching it now. After dinner I did some reading and now I'm finally back here again.

Eeepies, I am really slacking when it comes to doing this. ;; This is my first chance to come and visit the forum today because things were really busy at work so there weren't any opportunities to sneak online during the day. I did get some really good news at work though, after five years, they're finally going to give me a pay increase! Wheeeeeee!! *cough* well I'll try not to be too silly about it until I see some of it. XD This evening I went out and did some Christmas shopping and I also went and got my new flat panel monitor, Yaayy!! So that makes 2 coolies things that happened to me today! ^__^ Unfortunately, I didn't get much online time, so I'll try a little better tomorrow.

Today was yet another busy day for me. Work wasn't too bad, but I didn't spend much time in my office today, so I wasn't able to come here and visit the forum. The end of the year is upon us, so I've had to be available to answer questions from the production people trying to shove things out the door at the last minute. This evening I went out to another one of my church groupo meetings, so there wasn't much time to come and visit in the evening either. Hopefully, everyone has been doing well in the meantime.

Hmm, I slipped up again and didn't post an entry yesterday, but since it was nearly a carbon copy of Wednesday, no one will miss anything I think. Today was also very similar, excpet that it was Friday and I got paid finally. This evening I didn't have to go out anywheres, so I stayed home and ordered out for pizza. I've also been watching some TV and playing FFXI too, but I've found a few minutes for the forum now, although I was able to sneak a visit here during the day today.

Teeheehee! Here I am finally. If anyone wants to throw tomatoes at me for not visiting the forum all weekend, now's your chance because I'm guilty this time! XD It's lunchtime on Monday now, so I'm pretty late, but I haven't forgotten about coming here. Later on I should be back ...

Okay, now it's later on and I'm back. Work wasn't really that bad today even though it was a Monday. I've been trying to keep things coordinated as we rapidly run out of time for this year. I've never really been a good manager, so it's been a bit of a challenge for me the past two weeks. The weather outside was a little snowy today, but quite chilly because of the wind so I had to wear my wool coat today. This evening I went out and did a little shopping and got a new leather jacket. It's a little past the season here, but it was less than half price, so it was hard to resist. ;;

Ooooh, I managed to make it here two days in a row .. wooooww!! XD Today was very much like yesterday except that the weather was a little nicer outside. It was bright and sunny, but still cold, however there wasn't a lot of blustery wind like yesterday. Work was busy as can be, but that's what it was like yesterday too. After work I was going to go shopping, but I chickened out and went home. Maybe I just didn't want any more things to do today, so I just went home and did some more reading to help relax. Now I'm back here to do this again, wheeeeeee!!

Erm, well this is the first online time that I've had today, but it will be short. Today I Had a visitor at work who came to review the job that I've been working on for him. Everything went well, but it was a long day and I didn't even have time for dinner as I had to run back out to one of my church group meetings again tonight. That finished up only a short time ago, so I finally get a few minutes to make the rounds of my usual haunts ...

Hi there, I'm back again. Today was a lot like yesterday in many ways - the weather outside was exactly the same as yesterday, I had another visit with customers again today, and that kept me busy and unable to do any online stuff at work. They came all the way from South America and were a little surprised at how cold it was here. Things went pretty good with them though, they seemed like nice people and one of them was really cute too, teeheehee! #^_^# This evening I didn't have to go out anywhere, but I still worked late like yesterday. Now I'm back to the boards again! ^_^

@_@ Yet another long day at work today. I'm still working with my customers from South America, and that pretty much takes up all of my time, so that leaves no time for any online activities during the day. This is going to continue for a few more days however, so hopefully no one has been annoyed by my absence recently. Not too long ago, RL was always like that, in the days before I owned a PC, but now it seems like another lifetime. I Really miss seeing everyone here ... T_T We got a lot of snow today, so I helped clean that up after dinner. I also played FFXI for only a short time before venturing over here to the forum.

>_>
Somehow yesterday just disappeared ... I not knowing where it went to. Between work and Holiday preparations, I've had like 2 hours of online time this past weekend. There wasn't any work for me today thank goodness, but I did have Sunday mass this morning and this afternoon we got the Christmas tree. It was fun setting that up, although the kiddies can get just a little overexcited about things like that. Someday they'll make me nuts, so those of you that think the saying "insanity is something you inherit from your kids" is just plain silly might want to experience it someday.

The end of another Monday. Today didn't turn out to be quite as evil as I thought that it would, so that was a good thing for sure. Just one more day of customer relations tomorrow and then work might get back to semi-normal. This evening I went out and had dinner at a pizza place, so we did get a little time to ourselves this evening. Now I've had a pretty good run at the boards too, but I won't make it to all of them however.

Whew, I am soo happy that today is over. For the past week at work, I've had to entertain customers at work, and that has kept me 100% occupied. While I might seem perfectly sociable here on the forum, IRL I'm not quite that outgoing and business relationships aren't nearly as casual as personal ones are either. But I think that I got through it all okay. After work I gave myself a few drinkies and played FFXI to help me unwind, so now I feel kinda better. The rest of this week I'm going to try and take it easy and next week I have the whole week off ... Yaaayy!! ^__^

Last night I didn't do one of these, so now I get to do it this morning. Yesterday was much more like a normal day for me. The weather was really cold in the morning again, but not bad enough to bother me that much. Work went pretty good and mostly I spent the day cleaning up things that didn't get done while I was entertaining the visitors this week. After I went home I quickly wrote out all of my Christmas cards and mailed them this morning. Most will make it in time I think. ;; Then after dinner I played FFXI for a while with one of my friends from another forum and we had a good time together, but by the time we were finished we were both really tired and ready to snooze ... zzzzzzz ... which is why I'm doing this now ... XD

Shii-chan is back for a second time today. Life doesn't get any better than this! XD In many ways today was a lot like yesterday. The weather was much the same, but maybe a little warmer than yesterday. Work was a little slow today, but very few problems to deal with. This evening I got a chance to chat with my online friends for the first time in at least a week, so it was great to see everyone again. After dinner I met up with two other friends in FFXI and the three of us had a good time, but we were all pretty tired. Now I'm back for one last stop into the forum. Just one more day and I get a week off from work, and I really need it ... a lot ...

Last night I didn't get any time for forums because I had to go out and finish my shopping. After I came home I was just in time to meet a couple of friends to play FFXI, so I did that until I was too tired to stay up ... so I went to bed. XD

It's not often that you'll see me online at this time of the night, but I just wanted to come and wish everyone a Merry Christmas before heading off to bed. A little while ago I just returned home from Midnight Mass and a little party that we had at the church afterwards. Earlier today, well yesterday now, I spent most of the time wrapping presents and I also took the kiddies to the bowling alley. In the evening I was able to visit online for a bit, but there weren't very many people around today. It's not really surprising, but I hope that everyone is having a good time with their families today.

Christmas '05 went very well I thought. First thing this morning everyone wanted to get up and open presents of course, but if you look at the time of my previous post in this you'll see why I didn't want to. XD Eventually they dragged me out of bed around 9am and we all opened presents. I got lots of new clothes and a Dr Who DVD boxed set of the '78-'79 season which had some excellent stories. If anyone didn't know already, I'm a big Whovian (Dr Who nut) After finishing up with that we all went to the in-laws for lunch and more presents. The food was good and they're good company, but their cigarette smoking always seems to ruin it for me. After I left, I went home to change because I was pretty disgusted with the smell of myself and didn't want to go see my mom and brothers smelling like that. There were more presents and dinner at my mom's too and the cousins were all able to get together to play for a while. They all had a great time playing with each other and not me. ;; Tomorrow my sisters will be coming from out of town and the whole family will be back together again. Now I get a little bit of online time, but I won't stay up as late as I did last night.

Mee back again! Today, like all of this week, I didn't have to go to work so I was lazy and stayed in bed late this morning. When I did get up the kiddies were all over their new comp trying to figure out how to play a Harry Potter game. I was lucky to catch them before they messed up anything. They don't have rights to install programs anyways so they would not have gotten far. After that I installed the game for them and they had a blast with it until it was time to go to the bowling alley. The whole lot of little cousins went and it was a circus of course, but everyone had lots of fun. This evening we went back to my mom's for some dinner and TV and some Trivial Persuit, but I couldn't stay because we had to come home for bath time. Now I get to visit online for a little while.

Mee backiess! Today was a pretty good day for me I think. I was able to sleep late again today which is always a good thing. XD After I got up and ready I installed some more games for the kiddies to play and read Harry Potter for a while. I also played FFXI for a bit and did pretty good with that this time. Then I took the kiddies for a walk to the store around the corner to get all of us outside for a while. Later this afternoon I took them to the skating rink to meet up with their cousins and everyone had a good time I think. My sister-in-law and I didn't go out on the ice so we kinda froze together. ;; This evening I've mostly been chatting online, which is good too because I've seen so little of my online friends lately.

Erm, well I finally made it back here today. Partially my fault but also because I still have relatives here visiting from out of town. This morning my sister stopped by on her way back to New York so that we could have one last visit and say goodbye until next time. This afternoon I watched some of the new Dr Who DVD's that I got for a present and read more Harry Potter too. This evening I went back to my mom's to visit with my other sister who will be leaving to go back tomorrow, then all of the family visits will be completed for this holiday season. Now I'm back home, the kiddies are all in bed and I get a little online time now.

Hmm, what happened with me today? Not all that much really. For the first time in a while I was able to spend a good amount visiting online and playing a few games. Besides that I read some more Harry Potter this evening, but also went out to clean up the snow in the yard. So not a very exciting day, but a fun one in many ways.

Last night I stayed up to watch the New Year celebrations so I wasn't able to stop by and post another one of these yesterday. Yesterday wasn't really very exciting, another day of relaxation with more reading, more Dr Who, and more movies with the kiddies. I was able to chat with a few people online last night before I got a bottle of wine and had a few drinkies for New Year's.

Today was very much a typical Sunday. This morning I went to mass as usual, but I was a little surprised to see so many people there on New Year's morning, normally it's a little sparse for obvious reasons. This afternoon I chatted online for a while and then my mom came to visit for a little bit. Then I went and watched some more of the 12 Kingdoms anime and another anime show with the kiddies. After dinner I was back to chat for a little more and to come in here to see what has been going on. It's good to see Yuki-san back from his trip.

Ooopsiess I forgot again yesterday! ;; It was probably because I was away playing FFXI again, so my fault this time. The kiddies went back to school today, so today was the first normal day after the holidays. Work went pretty smoothly without much stress, so it's been really nice to me since I've returned from my time off. This evening I tried my first shot at installing another network connection in my house. The other comp gets onto the web okay so I must have gotten it right. XD Now I'm just relaxing for a bit and seeing what's happening around here.

Eeep! It really has been a long time since I have done one of these! O.O;; For a couple of days the forum was broken, so I couldn't post, however I was able to get it working again today. That was my accomplishment for today. Yesterday I finished watching my 12 Kingdoms DVD's, so now I have to buy the second boxed set. I also watched more of Dr Who today and finished reading xxxHolic volume 6. Today I was also able to go online and visit with a few friends which was a good thing. I didn't get to do much online yesterday because I was trying to call up my sister to wish her a happy birthday, but she went out to have fun last night. XD My brother also came over and brought the kiddies with him so the cousins also had a great time playing together. A little while ago I went and played FFXI for the first time this weekend, so I got caught up on a few things today.

It was back to work for Shii-chan today after a little weekend just whizzed by. >_> It wasn't too bad of a day and I didn't get around to killing anyone this early in the week. This evening I went out shopping for a little while too look at shirts and manga, but I didn't actually buy anything, so I guess that I didn't do too well with that. Now I'm back to play around with the BBS again and try not to break it this time.

Hmm, how were things today with me today ... for this time of the year the weather hasn't been too bad recently. It's been in the 30's this week, but usually January can be much colder than that. Work was as busy as ever today, but I didn't get very much of my own work done. >_> It's been a rather lazy evening for me and I've mostly been doing online visiting. So far the Golden Wine layout hasn't given me any indigestion today, so maybe it will be okay from now on ... *crosses fingers*

Today was a little less distracting than yesterday which is always a good thing. The weather was iccky and wet today and rather unpleasant even though it wasn't really that cold outside. It was a good day to be at work actually and since there weren't a lot of distractions, I was able to get some of my own work done. This evening I had one of my church group meetings to go to, so I haven't been online until now. Things don't seem to be very busy this evening anyways.

Today was another Saturday that started out just like most of them do with a trip to the bowling alley this morning. Later on though we went back to the local Humane Society and got not one, but two kittiess!! Both of them are soo pretty and I just love them already. ^__^ They both seem pretty mild and get along great with the kiddies, so I don't need to worry about that anymore. It's been so long since I've been waiting to get another kitty, but now I'm really happy with the ones that I did get today. This afternoon I also chatted online for a bit and went around to the forums, and now I've made it back here again.

Well, another itty bitty short weekend all gone already. It was a relaxing one though. This morning I went out to Sunday mass and had to unfreeze the doors on my car to get into it. This afternoon I watched the last story arc of the Dr. Who DVD boxed set that I got for Christmas. I really enjoyed watching those old episodes again after so many years. This evening I've been chatting online a little and watching movies with the kiddies and I've been waiting to see if anyone shows up to play FFXI tonight but so far no one has ...

Since I don't work for the government or a bank I had to go to work today. I wonder what Dr. King would think of that, but for now all that I can do is wonder. It was another nutty Monday at work today, but I managed to get through all of it just fine and I even got some of my own work done too. This evening after dinner I watched another movie with the kiddies and visited online for a little, but that was it. It's going to be another evil cold night, but it's supposed to get a little warmer tomorrow I think.;;

The weather warmed up a little today, but otherwise today was a carbon copy of yesterday. Yes, Shii-chan has a boring life. v_v It's supposed to sleet tonight and get all icy tomorrow, so maybe there will be no school tomorrow and I'll get to stay home with the kiddies.

Teeheehee, I got my wish today. First thing this morning I put on the news to get the closed school listings because of the freezing rain and ice, and ours came up. So I didn't even bother to wake up the kiddies and started doing my work from home today. I was able to do quite a bit actually and got more done than if I had gone in to work today. I didn't do much for online visiting today and this is my first chance to post here although I did come here earlier just to look around. This evening I went out to one of my church group meetings and almost all of the ice was gone by then. Hopefully tomorrow will have nicer weather than today did.

Laa dee daa dee da ... *trips and falls down*

Owch ... I forgot that this was here. ;; That's part of my inattentive ditzy self just wandering off again. The last two evenings I've been playing FFXI with one of my old friends from way back and we've had a good time together with that. Work has been going okay, some stuff good, some stuff bad, and some stuff just plain rediculous. @_@ Well, that keeps work from getting too serious and mind bending insane ... like an asylum ... Things at home have been going rather well especially with the new kitties here at the house.

The last two days I've been feeling pretty bad because I've had the sickies, so I haven't been online all that much. I've still been going to work, but by the end of the day I've had enough and just need to rest for a bit. So I'm sorry about wandering off for a little while, hopefully I'll be back to normal pretty soon.

Today was somewhat better than yesterday. A lot of the cold stuffies have gone away, so I don't feel nearly as miserable as I did before. My head doesn't hurt anymore thank goodness and I can do stuff on the compy again. Work was chaotic and nuts again today, but the end of the day always comes and I get to escape to freedom. This evening I took a nap when I came home and didn't go out like I usually do on Wedneday evenings. That helped out a little too.

Hmm, well between the site being down/broke and my own busy schedule, it's been a few days since I've been able to spend any time here at the forum. Things went very well at work today except for one incident where one of the test techs came harrowingly close to seriously injuring himself working on a piece of equipment for me. He was okay though and I'm very thankful for that. This evening I went out to go shopping and bought some more manga books. I also looked at a some of the new things out for spring, but didn't buy anything ... not yet. Now I'm here chatting and visiting the forum.

Hmm, today wasn't a very interesting day at work. This morning it started off busy, but things slowed down a lot and the rest of the day was rather boring. I spent most of it collecting data sheets and didn't design anything. This evening I had only a short time to chat online, but I think that I was able to help a friend who is worried that his mom might be really sick. After dinner I went out to one of my church group meetings which went very well tonight too. So for now, seeya tomorrow!

Teeheehee, Shii-chan has been slacking off on this again ... so what else is new? Today is Sunday so as usual I went to mass as I do every week. For some reason they were short on people to take up the collection, so I got asked to help out this week. ;; This afternoon I watched a movie with the kiddies, and then my mom came over to visit us. She took my son to see the Chronicles of Narnia movie and I got to go outside and take a walk with my daughter and enjoy the nice weather today. This evening after dinner we watched another movie and then I played FFXI for a little while. There wasn't a lot of time for online visiting today, so here I am finally. Tomorrow is another Monday, so now it's time for nighty-night, seeya tomorrow!

Another Monday an it was back to workiess for Shii-chan! Actually, as Mondays go, it was rather pleasant. Things started out slowly and stayed kind of steady all day, so the day went by quickly, but I didn't come home stressed and ready to kill something. (Erm, one of the reasons that I like games like FFXI - stress relief XD) This evening I went out for a little while and bought a couple more manga books - TRC #8 and I found a copy of Miyuki-chan in Wonderland ... lol ... now I'm back to visit the forums.

Hmm, here I am back again, but this time it's now the end of the week. Today was a good day I thought even though most Fridays usually are. This morning it was very chilly outside while I waited for the bus with the kiddies, but the wait wasn't very long. Work was pretty steady too and kept me busy, but not too busy. ;; This evening I chatted online for a while and played FFXI too, so that's where I've been tonight. A few times I stopped by here to see what's been happening, but things are pretty slow. The Mokona's Playground games have slowed down a lot, but that's okay because I'll be able to pay attention to other parts of the forum.

Hmm, another Monday today and the start of another week. This morning it was quite chilly outside so it was good that I didn't have to wait long for the bus to come and get the kiddies. Work was a little nutty today but not terribly crazy and for sure things have been a lot worse. This evening I went out to the bookstore and found a few more manga books to read so now I have about a half dozen new ones waiting for me. Now I'm finally getting a chance to come back here and visit, but there doesn't seem to be very much new stuff. v_v

Eh-heh, this has become a weekly thing of sorts, hasn't it? ;; That might be because there hasn't been a lot of excitement in my life recently, but that's a good thing in many ways. Work has been a little nutty, but I just take it as it comes and that has been working out pretty good. Sometime in the next week or two I'm going to be sent away on another trip, so I'll try to keep up to date on that. A few evenings this past week I've played FFXI and also I've started playing WoW again. This evening I was supposed to play again, but it won't let me log in right now. >_> Today has been a rather typical Sunday and the only thing that was unusual was that I finished reading one of the Harry Potter books today, The Chamber of Secrets. The only one left that I have to read is The Prisoner of Azkaban. Yes, ditzy Shii-chan started reading the series in the middle, read to the end, and then wrapped around to start at the beginning. XD

Erm, I seem to have forgotten about this again, so this is starting to look more like your average blog. Today the weather was really cold and windy outside. The sunshine was very nice looking, but also deceiving ... bbrrr ... >_< After work we went out and had pizza for dinner because the kiddies are staying at grandma's tonight. Today is also grandma's birthday, so as a birthday present she got to spend the day with the grandchildren. XD Otherwise things have been quite normal-ish recently and there really hasn't been a lot of excitement to talk about. Today I've been feeling a little better, but last weekend I was pretty sickiess and didn't feel like doing a whole lot, including online stuff. Hopefully tomoorow will be a little better too.

Wow theres so many Messages here! WOW!!!
Your the only person writeing on here Hikaru-chan
Uhhhhh. I've got school tomorrow, oh great.... I HATE SCHOOL!

Ohwell...

Erm, yeah it's been a while since anyone other than myself has posted in this. There used to be a lot more entries in here, but Ezboard wiped out more than 400 of them in the dreaded Ezpocalypse of 2005. The stuff that I lost from here is the one thing that I'll not forgive them for. >_<

Recently what's been happening with me is that I was really sickies last week and it was all that I could do to survive work each day. By the time that I got home, there wasn't anything left in me to go online, so I was absent from many places including this one last week. v_v Last weekend I finally started to feel a lot better, so now things seem more back to normal I guess. Hopefully it will stay that way for a little while. ^_^;;
