M E R R Y C H R I S T M A S !





















Tomorrow we fly very early to Oahu to spend Christmas day with my mom & dad. My sister & brother-in-law flew there from Maui on Friday. Haven't seen any of them since we spent last Christmas on Maui. We fly back very late tomorrow night. Fortunately I have Tuesday off to recuperate.

Santa, I've Been A Good Girl.....





















Just a couple things I'd like to see under the tree.....

I'm Back.....

I know you weren't holding your breath. You probably didn't even notice I was gone. That's okay.

Where was I? Well, my computer died. One night it worked but I got error messages just before I turned it off. The next day it wouldn't even boot up. All I got was an error message, something about an I/O Error. I have it written down somewhere but I'm too tired to look for it. Anyway, long story short I have a new computer. It took awhile cuz I had to wait for my federal tax refund from my amended 2003 taxes. And then when I ordered it from Dell I wanted to pay for most of it and finance the rest but they financed the whole thing. So I have a brand new computer (500GB hard drive, 20" flat panel monitor, etc.) that I haven't spent one cent for yet. Fortunately I transferred the refund from my personal checking acct to my business checking acct because if I hadn't I probably would have spent it on jewelry from the store for myself.

Speaking of which, we got some memo items in today and there is one ring I want in the worst way. It's a 14-karat white gold rounded band with 5 fancy color flush set diamonds sprinkled across the top. It's even my size. It was meant to be. But I inventoried it and it'll probably go in the case. Even now I can hear it calling my name. I want it soooooooo bad and I was trying to justify buying it as a combined christmas/birthday present for myself but now I have a brand new computer to pay for and I really need to buy another car before my transmission completely goes out. When I photograph it tomorrow I'm going to email the picture to myself so I can post it here. There's also a really cool bracelet but it's way out of my price range. Why do I have to like jewelry so much?

Well, I'm beat. I worked today, did laundry after work then got groceries and I need sleep.

Tune in tomorrow for pictures.
