Today is a good day! Of course any day you're on vacation is a good day right? ;)

This kitty is ready for Halloween...

Wed:

1) I just finished my outline for my Phase 4 as well as my student response, so only have to deal with the actual paper! Yay! =D

2) Brought Nox to the doctor for his 6 month check up, that lil fatty is almost 20lbs! LOL! He took his shots really well, and when we were heading home, we bumped into Brantly (Lucian's little buddy) So Jason took the boys to play on the trampoline... giving me time to finish my outline in peace :) Lucian also has pretty much got the spelling of CAT down, and using the ABCmouse has him tracing letters and numbers like a champ now! Go Lucian! =D

3) I got my new laptop! *squee!* I am going to try to get it set up tonight before we go on vacation, so I don't have to use Jason's laptop to finish my next paper while we are away... I know, I should have got it done before I left, but I was tired yesterday and chose to just catch up more on emails

Something irritating... My DVR started deleting my episodes! Jason noted there was a little timer next to the Doctor Who episode saying it would delete in two days! It already deleted the first episode, so we found it on Youtube (it was crappy quality, but we watched it and are going to do a Whoathon tonight to clear them off the DVR before any more can come up missing) I did make sure to change my setting to manual erase as well :/

Still have to pack and go get us some dinner, but all the clothes are clean, Jason's getting the cats litterbox changed and the feeders topped off, so Scott won't have to deal with it, and we plan to head out around nine (it's a four our ride, and I know we're ALWAYS running behind, so hopefully with this plan, we'll be at the hotel by 3PM) Wish us luck! XD

I didn't put the outline in, I figure the paper will suffice later ;)

For those interested (mainly

ladymidath who has asked for a tale of Edora's background from my D&D game.... I have told her tale thus far under the cut ;)

Mon:

1) I forgot to mention for Sat, but I got my tuition check! Yay! Concerning Monday, I got out of work early enough to go deposit it, and I was able to get the 5th, 6th, and 7th off as well, so I don't go back to work until the 10th! =D Now all funds are in place for our soon to be vacation. Also for Sunday, I got to watch the new Walking Dead and the last two episodes of Boardwalk Empire. I wasn't really satisfied with how they ended the series as they left a bit unsettled for my taste, but in the end, I kind of saw things would come back around full circle.

2) Was able to get an hour nap with the whole family before going to Walmart to pick up a few odds and ends and back in time to get to my class... although I did log in late since Mozilla didn't want to play the chat, and I had to download Google Chrome to get it to work properly. I only missed 7 minutes which I'm listening to while I write this as I'd forgotten until now LOL!

3) I got a lot of emails caught up Before bed!

Tues:

1) I went in to work and they were so slow, I got to go home and start my vacation early! I'm officially on vacation! YAY!!! XD

2)I had 91 new emails when I logged on, and I got it down to 18 before I went to back to bed for a couple hours. :)

3) I'm on vacation! LOL! Everything seems better when you don't have to go back to work for a little while! ;) I got the newest emails caught up, and I'm just relaxing a bit before I get started on my DB which is only an outline for phase 4 and 5 that shouldn't take me too long, and it'll help me to write my phase 4... and I now have extra time to do it as well as watch shows. I'm so excited! =D

For Halloween a little laugh LOL! I'm so freaking crass ;)

Oh man, I'm SO tired right now! I just tried to read some of my emails, and my eyes started crossing... Jason and I didn't get much sleep last night, so we are going to try to go to bed early and sleep a full night and hopefully get up early tomorrow (saying Nox is agreeable :P), so I can do homework and be able to relax on my day off. Plans are to take the kids to the park if I can finish my homework in a timely manner. Cross your fingers for me! :)

Today was a great day! =D

I got off work around 12:30PM, went home to feed Nox before Shannon (a co-worker) and I went to get lunch together followed by a haircut. We had a few long island iced teas at the restaurant before going to get our haircut, and it was a blast! It's been a LONG time since I've been able to go out for a drink with a friend. Haircut came out well, and while she was still getting her hair done, I picked up some pumpkin cinnamon body creme at Bath and Body Works and a couple candles for nice autumn smells to fill the house :) I had a really nice time once I got back home spending a couple hours hanging with the family, and I still have all day tomorrow... it almost felt like I had a two day weekend! :)

Hope this post isn't too incoherent... I would have waited to post, but I wanted to post today, so I could wish

90scartoonman a very happy birthday! I hope it was a blast my dear! =D

I'm feeling humorous today...

A quick daily positive boost for Wed and Thurs, and then it's meme time! =D

Wed:

1) Had a good productive day at work and got an hour nap when I got home.

2) Lucian was eager to play with his 'kitty' and we hung out on the couch with Nox while he showed Nox how to play LOL! Nox bounced around quite delighted to watch Lucian get his virtual cat to fall over :P I loves me babies ;)

We didn't have game last night because Sean decided to call 2 minutes after game was supposed to start to tell us Jerrod (his son) had something he needed to do that night, so they both couldn't play... this has happened on several other occasions, so Jason and I are making a firm stance to stop playing with him. There's only so much a person can forgive before you just have to take a bow...

3) That said, not playing D&D gave me a chance to catch up a bit on emails and watch the latest Once Upon a Time! =D This episode was better than the last two (even if the writers somehow feel like they need to try and use every scene from the frozen movie they possibly can work in *eye roll*) Oh Rumple, what are you up to you naughty imp? ;) And for my spanko friends, can we see Emma spanking Hook for not going back to the sheriff's station like she told him? *evil grin*

Thurs:

1) Got a cheeseburger plate for the charity drive and it was delish! =D

2) Tomorrow is ESS (inventory where all pallets must be put in the warehouse racks, all paperwork closed out, etc. for the warehouse) Shannon and I worked out asses off today, and we got our floor sparkling (as much as a concrete floor can sparkle any way ;) We should have a pretty short day tomorrow because of it, and I'm ALREADY on overtime, so anything I work tomorrow and Sat will be time and a half! Woot! =D

3) I came home, got my student responses done for my discussion board, and because it's pay day, we decided to go out to eat. SUSHI! It's been ages since we ate sushi since it's just too dang expensive! I've been working all this overtime though, so I thought it was okay to have a little treat :) Now we are just relaxing and both kids are in bed! Nox is starting to sleep! OMG! *squee!* After I finish this post, I'm going to catch up on a few emails and off to bed! ;)

I saw a couple of my friends doing this meme...

Rules: In a text post, list ten movies that have stayed with you, ten movies you've rewatched more than once or pushed your friends into watching or can't get out of your mind. Don’t take but a few minutes, and don’t think too hard — and, yes, limit it to ten. Then tag ten friends and spread the madness.

I'm not going to tag anyone as I figure any and all that find it interesting can feel free to snag it up as it is a fun meme :)

So I was catching up on a few posts, and I've noted a really cool aspect

vaysha does in her posts of adding beautiful pictures and quotes, and I have enjoyed seeing them and have come to look forward to it in her posts. Being fitfully inspired, I'm going to try to add some flavor to my LJ to share some of what I've come upon and think is worth sharing outside of the same old life updates.

I need a little humor as today was a bit of a bad day...

I got written up today over a mistake I had done last Saturday. I had tried to help a fellow employee by not creating a CRCV (corrective receiver) by adjusting a pallet quantity out RFCC (cycle count out) because I knew the remaining cases were coming on a load due to come in that afternoon, and doing the PR position, I knew the cases I'd RFCC'd out, I could RFCC back in with the new load. The inventory manager got pissed at me for doing so even though he told me he understood why I did it... I was just trying to make less overall adjustments on the ledger and save Twilla from getting in trouble. Instead, I got in trouble. :( No use crying over spilled milk. Thankfully, it's only a verbal, so it didn't effect my tuition reimbursement! (The good of this point! LOL!) I came home to check the status of my reimbursement to see it FINALLY has been reviewed meaning I gets a check! Woot! Just in time for our coming vacation the weekend of the 31st! =D

This is an oldie but a goodie that I found back when 300 first came out XD

And this is a new one, I think I saw it on DA, honestly I don't remember, but it's freaking hilarious! =D

It's hard to believe it's already October isn't it? My mini vacation from school is officially over! *pout* The teacher seems pretty cool though, and thankfully she's not monotone like the last one :P I wanted to drop a quick update as I find waiting more than a couple of days lends to short term memory loss ;)

The title is dedicated to a lovely chat about H.P. Lovecraft earlier today, so now the quote was running rampant in my head because it is one that always intrigued me. Cthulhu is coming! Look busy! :P

If you're wondering about the title, no not referring to the nasty urban definition, although I am feeling quite euphoric! LOL! I got to watch three shows today! (which is a record for me :P) So I'm living three deep in fandom love LOL! (And I just thought it was fun to make those of you that saw the title wonder what the hell I was talking about *snerk* I'm a jerk, I know ;)

This week has just flown by! I honestly don't know where the hours went! I haven't posted my positive updates since last Friday, so I'll try to sum up the week...

Trying to keep up the trend of positive postings (before I forget them day to day as I really have a horrid memory! 0o)

Thurs:

1)Got a two hour nap! Nox didn't sleep much, so it balanced out to getting a more awake (less miserably tired) work day Friday.

2)Spent some time farting around on Deviant Art to clear out the massed amount of updates and answering comments. Got through a few more emails in my inbox trying to whittle down the amount unanswered/looked at emails. I'm really hoping to catch them up when I'm on my 13 days without school stint.

3)Got Jason and my Halloween costumes in the mail and tried them on Wednesday (still waiting on my corset to finish the outfit and then I have to look into accessories :P) Lucian got his on Thursday, and Nox's came today! *squee!* Our little family of pirates has been made! There will be pictures around Halloween time to be sure Yarg! ;)

Fri:

1) I got off work at 2:30PM today, so I felt like my day was a little more spent with family verse at work. I also got to check today (meaning a little break from the hecticness of the office, and everything went smoothly! Hence the getting off at 2:30 ;)

2) Took the family out to dinner for Mexican with Scott (our roommate just got back from his week long trip to corporate, so we got to shoot the shit about his trip) Lucian behaved for the most part (which lately he's been acting out a lot if we go out to eat... got to love age 3!

3) I didn't take a nap, but I don't feel like a zombie! I wasn't able to enjoy my online time as much yesterday because I was feeling so out of it like my wits were having a hard time catching up :P I'm listening to my Grooveshark favorites and just enjoying my internet time (because I'm a total addict you know LOL! :P) One more day of work! And D&D night to look forward to tomorrow! Yay! =D

ficwriterjet posted this meme, and I thought it'd be fun, hopefully you guys will as well :)

Rules: In a text post, list ten books that have stayed with you in some way. Don’t take but a few minutes, and don’t think too hard — they don’t have to be the “right” or “great” works, just the ones that have touched you. Tag ten friends, including me, so I’ll see your list. Make sure you let your friends know you’ve tagged them!

I was going on a pretty good clip with my positive posts, but Thursday was just absolutely horrid, and I was pressed to see the positive. Thinking back though, I got to sit down and read a couple books with Lucian where Nox was equally interested.

Spending time with the kids is always a plus. I honestly can't even remember anything more about that day other than it was draining. The days that followed were not bad but super hectic, so I just didn't have time to reflect and post. So, I'll do a brief catch up here as well as share a couple pics of the cat family (since I haven't shared pics of them in forever and

ashmedai had wanted to see a pic of Kit-Kat (the female tabby that I've been told is a rarity :D)

...Brought to you by the letter P and the number 6! XD Can you tell I live with a toddler? LOL!

1) I was exhausted this morning... Nox was tossing and turning and my nose was chafed from blowing it all night last night. I was dreading work with only 2.5 hours of sleep, but the day actually went really smoothly. I didn't really feel like I was going to fall out like some days, and I think a lot of that was because I stayed pretty busy. My boss complimented Shannon and I for doing a great job right before I left which always makes me feel good. (I've also consecutively gotten at least an hour over 8hrs every day (since they have Shannon and I working six days but only really want us putting in 8hrs, I'm really looking forward to that pay check next week! Woot! =D)

2) Came home to the family and actually got in the pool with Lucian (verse watching from outside the pool... which is half the time :P) Of course we played with his new toy fish, and we also played catch with his water football when he wasn't demanding I piggyback him around the pool LOL! He made me get my exercise for sure! Jason made us a really nice meal of baked well seasoned tilapia and french cut green beans while Nox and I relaxed on the bed to breast feed after Lucian and I got our showers and played the daily color game (I have a ceramic fox cookie jar I picked up from Cracker Barrel (if you don't know, I absolutely ADORE foxes!) it hold a bunch of M&M's, and it's a 'game' Lucian wants to play every time he is brought to the bathroom to point at it and yell" FOX!" of course! :P

3) I made today my kick back and relax day after finishing my student responses for the discussion board. I've been dying to catch up on my emails, and the first thing I did was read the next chapter to a wonderful story

ficwriterjet has been writing for me! She is amazingly good to me! *snuggles her tight!* It's a Once Upon a Time fic based off a plot bunny I had, and she has turned it into so much more! Please give her some love and check out the win! ---> https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9076372/1/A-Spell-Gone-Wrong

Now then, I'm going to do my best to widdle down the over 130 emails I have currently in my inbox! 0o
