Last week was a long week. I’m enjoying my new job but the commute is killer. Friday I worked from home, that was really nice :) While working from home I discovered that it would be pretty impossible to deal with the sun trying to come in through the blinds, so Michael helped me put […]

Friends, Furniture, Work
February 4th, 2007 by pleia2
Friday was my last day at the Accounts Payable job. I tried really hard to focus and get a lot of work done, but honestly there wasn’t a whole lot for me to do aside from training my replacement. My replacement knows what she’s doing so there was only $company-specific stuff I needed to teach […]

Furniture
January 30th, 2007 by pleia2
This past weekend Michael and I did some furniture shopping. With my new job I’ll be telecommuting 80-90% of the time, which meant that we had to re-arrange the house a bit. Right now Michael and I share an office, he telecommutes 60% of the time and I work in an office, which is fine, […]

R4
January 25th, 2007 by pleia2
I drive a 2003 Toyota Rav4, as seen here: It’s a good truck, doesn’t get bad gas mileage for what it is, and with the good tires on it (and the appropriate amount of caution and experience) I don’t have trouble in adverse weather conditions. But it was a lease, set to expire next month. […]

Pizza and Fondue
January 22nd, 2007 by pleia2
Last night Michael made pizzas. As I’ve said before, it’s tough to get good pizza here in PA. There are a few decent places to go, but none of them are close to my house. I’ve tolerated the local pizza but complained often. I was all supportive when Michael began to test his own dough […]

January 21st, 2007 by pleia2
OK, you’re probably getting sick of these entries now ;) But I just have one more before getting back to regularly scheduled blogging. Caligula and Simcoe are starting to get along, last night they even sat near each other on the couch and fell asleep while we had some friends over. Yesterday Michael updated the […]

The Vet
January 20th, 2007 by pleia2
I just got home from the vet with Simcoe. She did not enjoy the visit, I heard her meows from the back as they were taking blood – ouch! She tested negative for FIV, but is suffering from an upper respiratory infection. OH NO AN UPPER RESPIRATORY INFECTION!!! Actually it’s just a cold, quite common […]

Simcoe is home!
January 20th, 2007 by pleia2
Last night I drove up to Allentown to pick up Simcoe. The woman who breeds them was very nice and lived in a nice house. She breeds the Siamese “for fun” (they don’t have papers) and Cairn Terriers as show dogs, she introduced me to her grand champion male Cairn Terrier – he was a […]

Kitten Day!
January 19th, 2007 by pleia2
As I mentioned about a month ago we’re getting a female Siamese kitten. Well, the day has finally arrived! Tonight Michael and I are making the trek up to Allentown to pick up the newest addition to our family. I’m so excited. I’ll be sure to take a zillion pictures.
