NI Search Testing

Just wanted to give everyone a quick update about my job and the tasks I do. Ok fine I just wanted to post my funny graphic that I put at the bottom of my status report today.



I have done other Confidence-O-Meters in the past and it took a LONG time for it to get into the green section, so this is a great sign.

Wish me luck - we're continuing to test until the end of this week.

Christmas Shopping - DONE

Did almost all my Christmas shopping on amazon.com this year and I just have to say it was delightful. I didn't have too much to do because my sister was naughty this year so I just had to get coal for her.

Weather

Yeah so I know I'm my mother's child when I start talking about the weather but just had to mention this:

Sunday 80ish for the high
Monday 49 for the high (at midnight - even colder during the day)
Tuesday 85 is the forecast high (we've hit 76 at least)
Wednesday 45 is the forecast high

All I know is - I need it to be warm enough for me to wear open toed shoes to show off my new pedicure.

Christmas Shopping

Here are a couple of sites I found that I am probably going to do some shopping at:

I'll add more as I run across them.

Happy Holidays!

Made a cake for our Department Pot Luck and BA Charity Event today - here it is. The cake itself is Butter Pecan.



And yes Santa's coat has always been pink. It just looks red in pictures.

Back in Austin!

Just wanted to say how wonderful it is to be home and to have slept in my own bed last night.

Things I Love About Home:
  • Water pressure
  • Being able to call people on the phone and not worry about the cost
  • Diet Coke (not Coke Light) in big American 20 oz containers
  • Driving myself whenever and wherever I want
  • 82 degree weather in December (record high)
  • Abigail :)
  • Being able to leave at lunch
  • Not having to bundle up in order to go outside

~Day 27~ I Hate O'Hare Bonus Post

So I got an extra day of fun because of ice/snow in Chicago. Got to stay at a lovely airport hotel and just got home about an hour ago. It actually went smoothly - including my car a) still being where I parked it, b) not having a flat tire and c) starting right up! It's nice in Austin - 78 degrees. My winter coat is going right to the cleaners - maybe I'll wear it in January/February. :)

It is so nice to be home. Just finished Abigail Lovefest 2007 and I'm starting the marathon laundry session now.

P.S. Verily - Efay is just trying to start controversy by saying I snubbed you! I did not see anything of Chicago except what I saw out the hotel shuttle window on the way there and back!!
