Good grief...it's COLD!!!! I'm glad I washed all of my sweaters and turtlenecks a few weeks back! LOL!! It's suppose to be in the 50s all week! Hopefully the office won't be too hot if they decided to turn up the heat (all the way).

Anyways, I guess I've turned into a once a week blogger! LOL! It's better then nothing, I guess. I updated my tag board to cbox about a week ago. I couldn't stand tag board anymore. For some reason every time I went to that page or, I went to their site, a password box kept popping up. I gave it a while to see if it was something on my end and when I couldn't get on there anymore, I had to change to something different. I like cbox better because I'm able to do MUCH more than I could before with tag board. I can have a transparent background, which thrilled me to pieces when I saw that! And, it gives the date and time of a tag! It's so cool!

Things are still busy at work. I have to box up my September closed files this week. I already did my large September files, so the rest should get done by the end of the week. I also have a bulk bill that I would like to get finished by the end of the week. Lots to do!

Tomorrow should be interesting because our IT department is rolling out phase 2 of our new computer system that we got a few months ago. Our system has been going down a lot recently or has been acting slow, so it should be interesting to see what happens tomorrow. Keep your fingers crossed. But, if you hear a faint scream coming from New Jersey, you know it's me and that our system went down! LOL!

Well, I guess I should get off of here, my in-laws are going to be here soon with pizza. Story of my life....I wish she would get a different kind of pizza to have something different for a change, but SHE only likes plain cheese pizza. Not to mention that the place she gets the pizza from must have some one new making the pizzas because the pizza has absolutly NO taste to it whatsoever! I have to add the oregano, and the italian spices myself.

Well, I guess I should stop rambling for now. Have a blessed week!!

Take care & God bless!!

Hello!

Well, yet another week has come and gone. The weather is FINALLY starting to get cooler and the leaves are just gorgeous!! This is my favorite time of year by far!

Last weekend I washed all of my turtlenecks and sweaters and re-organized my closet to move my summer/spring clothes to the back of the closet and move my fall/winter clothes to the front. I still have to have access to my summer/spring clothes since the office feels like a sauna! LOL! I did wear a sweater to work yesterday.....big mistake! LOL! It was so hot in there that I thought that I was going to passout! Not to mention the smell (you know the smell from the heater after not having it on for a while).

Anyway, I've been working on adding new graphics to my poems pages. It's going to be a red and black theme. I just love those colors together! It does take a lot of time being that I have so many poems. I also have been working on getting my snowflake ornaments finished in time for Christmas. I was hoping to get one done a day, but that doesn't happen sometimes. I guess it's because I'm a little on the tired side when I get home from work. Hopefully I'll get them done in time.

Not much else has been going on. I didn't get a chance to watch the football game on the 8th, but I wasn't exactly thrilled at the outcome of the game. Stephen watched a good part of it and was giving me some play by plays. There's always next time.

Stephen went to the movies with his mom this afternoon, so I should take advantage of the time and get some house work done. So on that note, I'm going to get going. Have a great weekend!

Take care & God bless!!

Well hi there, strangers!!

Sorry I've been MIA the last month. I've had absolutly no energy when I get home from work. They gave us extra duties to do.....imputting 24 hour losses that come in after hours and we are now taking first reports over the phone. I don't mind, though. We do have some extra phone times and on top of our normal duties, sometimes it takes a lot out of you on a busy day.

Not much has been going on the home front. It's been pretty quite. I like the rides to work in the morning now. The sunrise is SO beautiful! Pinks, purples, Yellows, oranges, and some blues. Reminds of how beautiful the love is that our Saviour has for us. Another fav is seeing the sun rays touching the ground. That reminds me that He is always holding us close in his loving arms!

I've always been a little busy with my Plastic Canvas patterns book. I've picked that up again after not doing too much in the past couple of years. Just something fun for me to do to keep me occupied. I like coming up with new ideas and putting my own little twist on ones that I happen to come accross. I'm in the middle of making some snowflakes for Christmas. They are really pretty! I'm using white yarn that has some siver "tinsle" mixed in to make it look like ice! I wish I could share a pic!

Stephen is out to the movies with his mom today and they are going to go do a little shopping so he can get some new shirts for winter. Then they are going back out to the movies tonight. He has to do the lawn tomorrow so he won't have time to go the movies in the afternoon like he did before. Atleast I have some quite time for myself for a few hours this afternoon & then again tonight. \o/

I haven't really done anything else with adding any more themes. I hope to a few more added in the next couple of months, but who knows. I have to wait and see.

Stephen & I had to go to our Wilmington, DE office Wednesday for some training on the 2nd phase of our new claims systen. Why they felt like they had to have training so out of the way when we have a state of the art IT center 5 minutes from our office, is beyond me. But, I guess you have to do what you have to do sometimes. And, it really wasn't that bad. The traffic was a little heavy in some spots, but we made it to and from in one peice.

Well, the "big" game is on tomorrow. Cowboys vs. Eagles!!! They are saying that this is going to be bigger than the Super Bowl! I'm not going to watch, though because I want my Cowboys to win!! Everytime I get dressed up in my Cowboys gear and watch the game, they loose. When I don't do all that....they win.

Well, I guess I should get off of here. I would like to get some vaccuming done while hubby is out for the afternoon!

Take care & God bless!!
