I hope you have a great birthday. Here's hoping this year is better for you.

Hope you have an awesomely good day!

Hope you had a wonderful long weekend for your birthday!

Don't know if you will get to see this, but hope you had a great day!

First and maybe only post of 2008 and it's a meme. Go figure. But it totally amused me how off it seemed. But I let those who know me be the judge.

Go check out the awesomeness of suzvoy and nel_ani! They made for me a 10th Year of Stargate vid which they actually sang!

It's at Suz's LJ ->HERE

I know, surprise surprise, it's a post from me. But I did tell people I was going to let people know what was up with me. So here's a quick recap of the past weekend.

Some of you may or may not know that the last couple of months, I've had two major stressors in my life. My job has been making me miserable and my grandfather has not been doing so well.

Regarding stressor number one, I decided to bite the bullet and started the process of updating my resume. Luckily, one of the people I contacted for a recommendation pointed me in the direction of a great job opportunity and long story short, I got offered the job last Thursday. I decided to take the job and gave my resignation on Friday. Barring some weird result on the drug test, I should be in a new job by next February.

Which brings me to my grandfather. He's never quite been happy since my grandmother passed away several years ago. Sometime this year, he had to move into a care home because he just couldn't live on his own anymore. It was an adjustment for him, but he seemed all right for a while. Then a couple of months ago he got pneumonia and he went downhill pretty quickly. After Thanksgiving, he started refusing to eat. Late Sunday night he passed away in his sleep. I think my grandparents are together again.

Needless to say this has been a weird, emotional weekend.

Thanks Sue. It was sweet of you to send me a floating eyeball.

Posted just because I thought the result was sorta appropriate.

Anyways, after days and days of battling with my internet, I've managed to steal a few minutes on my sister's computer to post this. If anyone was wondering, I'm still alive though offline per the reason above.

First day of my birthday holiday and it's already not been totally spectacular. Got a phone call that my grandpa got taken to the ER and last we've heard he's still getting a bunch of tests. Guess my days off are going to include trips to the hospital.

I'll try battling with Mr. Internet later but I probably won't be able to catch up online for a bit. It's not that I'm purposefully ignoring anyone. Hope everyone is doing okay as I don't even have time to really check on LJ to see how it's all shaking. Just wanted to let everyone know I haven't dropped off the face of the planet.

At least I think it's your birthday where you are. Hope you have a fantabulous day!

So yes, I have not done a proper update in ages. And really this isn't going to be it either. But I wanted to thank skydiver119 properly for making me a new wallpaper. Thanks D!

( Here's my new pretty! )

Oh, the loveliness of SG-1 in all it's incarnations. I'm finding I really want the SG-1 Season 10 dvds to come out now. I feel like rewatching my new team. I miss them on Fridays.

In other news, I went to see both the Harry Potter and Transformers movies yesterday. Yes, I am a geek. But there was sushi in between so good day was had by all. Not going to spoil but all I can say was one was very British and the other was very American. Heh. You guess which.

Finally, My not-quite-two year old niece has fallen in love with all things Hello Kitty. So now I find myself gravitating to these things in stores. It's all very pink. It's all very frilly. I suspect alien pods may be involved in this franchise. But I buy this stuff anyways cause I love seeing her smile. Very scary.

This is all.

Hope you have a fun and safe birthday. The country celebrates it with you!

Hope you have a wonderful day and I hope you're feeling better.

Hope you have a fabulous and fun day. Walk to your heart's desire.

Unfortunately, I have had occasions in my lifetime to be in the hospital. Fortunately, I have had the wonderful care of hardworking and caring nurses. So I'd like to wish them and my favorite nurse, sjhw_tolerance, and any other nurses on my friends list a great big "Thanks!"

Hope you have a wonderful day!

Okay I'm just really curious if I get any takers to this one...

We all have things about our friends that make us slightly envious.

Not in a bad way, but in a 'Wow! I wish I had that person's hair/eyes/money/relationship/toenails/whatever.'

So tell me what about me makes you envy me. . . then if you feel like it, post this in your LJ and see what makes me envious of you.
