Hmmm. I woke up this morning and my first thought was "Damn, I really hope I saved my template". I saved something - I just hope it was the right thing.
And I want to apologize. I have to admit - my cursing was way above (or below, depends on how you look at it) par yesterday during the game. The last time I got this emotional over a game was when the Buc's were in the SuperBowl. It wasn't pretty around here - and if you live in any of the neighboring communities - I apologize for my VERY unladylike conduct. It was ugggglllllyyyyyy. Ugly.
Sunday - January 8th is Fritz Fest. Looks to be a very good time. I'm actually having visitors and am very excited. Plus it's a great motivator to get this place pulled together. Add to that the chance to spend an afternoon with some of my favorite people - and meeting new ones. It just get's better and better. AND - yes, there is more - Teresa's coming!!!! (If she doesn't get snowed in by the big Nor'easter.) It seems like forever since I've seen her. This may be one blogmeet that we actually get to spend time together. This weekend is shaping up to be even better than Christmas in my book.
It's really ugly here in Northern Illinois right now. Friday just south of here we got a good dumping of snow, mixed with ice and rain. Here? Rain. It's rained pretty much all weekend. Everything is brown and muddy. It's cool enough you need a coat, but too warm to really dress warm. I hate this weather. I'd rather have the snow. It is winter after all - this stuff reminds me of early spring, and that's not a pretty time of the year. (Yeah, Bou - I really said I'd rather have snow. I don't know what's happened to me!)
Speaking of Bou - she's up and doing just fine. (In case you hadn't been over there in the past couple days.) I'm glad - even though my heart is broken over the fact that TGOO is such an Anti-Irish fan. Damn, I really liked that guy, too.
I think I cursed myself. I was telling my cousin this weekend how proud of myself I am. I am a coffee freak. And I "LOVE" my coffee maker. It's grinds the beans fresh each morning, and every pot is perfect. Well, we were talking about how old this particular pot is, and I told her I'd been really working to keep it going - just don't have the funds to buy a new one. Hell, I've been nursing this particular pot for over a year now. Yeah for Tammi! I'm being practical. This morning....this morning it started acting up. I'm not going to be able to save it. It probably has 2 maybe three more brews left in it. I've brought this on myself. Now I gotta go buy a damned coffee pot.
Well, this is the last short week for a while now. I've really enjoyed my 4 day work weeks - something I could really get used to. Not only that - but we're hitting the ground running. Hard. I'm looking at a trip back out to Iowa (corn, corn, corn - oops - snow, snow, snow COW) and a couple trips into The City to target some new accounts. You wanna know something funny? I have no desire to make sales calls. None. I'd go if I could do training, or something like that. But sales calls? No, not so much. Damn - I really am changing!!!!
Anyway - that's just a bunch of schtuff I've got runnin' through my mind this morning. I figure when I get home, the site will look a little (yeah right) different. I just hope that RedNeck let's us know who his creative partners are. I want to make sure I "thank" them properly. ;-)

Posted by: Contagion at January 3, 2006 07:20 AMWell, this particular storm will be gone. Now as long as we don't get another!
Yes, Northern Illinois is just ugly in the winter - especially when there's no snow to cover things. GAK! But you all really need the water regardless of how it gets there. Especially after last summer's drought.
Posted by: Teresa at January 3, 2006 08:43 AMHey Tammi, don't worry. You're good to go through today. The bet didn't include Tuesday, remember? ;)
I'll ask the "contributors" to sign they're scratchin's, but thats assumin' I get any participants. I believe that Straight White Fella has offered to lend a hand, unless I was mistaken with his "I'm in" comment. I may try to persuade a couple more... We'll see.
Hey, one more thing... I did my fair share of cussin' last night too. Don't feel bad. It's football, cussin' goes with the territory...
