I am approved for a mortgage. This is the single weirdest thing. I think I have to be an adult now.

Die Hard.

Seriously, there is something for everyone. What’s not to love?

So the MadScientist is out of town for the weekend, I’m doing all the things I used to do as a bachelorette, watch stupid shows like Charmed, pee with the bathroom door open (I know TMI), and play computer games until the wee hours of the morning. It’s nice, but, really, I’m looking forward to him coming home.

Work is…work. Still, less BS than when I worked for the crazylady. So, all is good. Also, there seems to be quite a good bit of powder in the mountains…so, if anyone wants a Denver/Ski weekend, let me know.

I guess I’ll be doing friends lock because, seriously, one of the things I always liked about Xanga was it tended to be spam free, now I’ve got a crap ton of comments (pretending to be high-brow) with spammy links in them.

Now, I’m annoyed, and kind of wishing I hadn’t come back.

Well, gosh, I’m just so far behind in getting this post out of my head and on to the screen. I am starting to wonder if I even know how this thing works anymore. I think I will just dive straight in.

Home is awesome. MadScientist moved in with me in February and we’ve been together for over 2 years now. It’s good. The furballs are still kicking, they are old little Shelties, one is 17 and aside from a little arthritis he’s doing pretty good. We have a fabulous apartment (downtown and mountain view) but probably pay more than we should – as in, we could get into a house for quite a bit less than we pay in rent. And, we probably will get into a house in 2012.

Work is good. It probably won’t sound good once you learn about Numbnuts (I was going to compare Numbnuts to Chang from Community, but I’d rather marry Chang than spend another day with Numbnuts). But, that’s a protected post for another time (another time being likely about 15-20 minutes after this one).  Things have changed a lot since I left the and came back, but for the better, I think. Unfortunately, I think there are quite a few people who are going to be unable to change with the times. Sucks to be them.

The Kung Fu school I attended in Austin has an affiliate here, different master runs it, but it’s all under the same Grand Master, so I’m hoping it still has that Geek Fu vibe as Austin did. We (MadScientist and I) will be starting classes either next month or in January. Just depends on how everything plays out with the holidays. Sadly, I will be starting completely over, it’s just been way too long, I still hope it comes back quickly, but I couldn’t even get through the no belt material right now. We’ve started practicing kicks and the like though, with the hopes that when we start classes it won’t kick our asses too badly.

Headed to the old hometown for Thanksgiving, nice road trip, get to see friends and family. Should be fun.

I’m a Coloradan. At least by my driver’s license.

I feel a long post coming, but it’s still in my head, so must go visit you guys for now.

I heard there was a renaissance of sorts going on here…and since I deleted my FB (OMG! The drama on there, it’s bloody junior high.) and have been a little MIA from the online life, a little birdy said, “get your ass back on Xanga.” (But in a much nicer way)

So, back. But before I talk about me, I need to go see what is up with you. Be back soon.

I go to the Firefox frolic cam and have cuteness overload.

Oh, oh, oh! and they will name them tomorrow…looks like Rue and Betty (my fav Golden Girl actresses) are going to win.

Got my first Christmas card yesterday with an extra special bonus holiday music mix.

Gotta say, it is totally awesome. Thank you for thinking of my this holiday season (especially since I’m stuck alone this year b/c of new job and new city).

I got back to back emails at work today telling me how great I am. Yeah, this job was a good call.

More protected…cause I’m paranoid.
