Blogging

I have recently discovered that small button in the upper right hand corner of my blog screen. See it? The one that says next blog. Yes, it’s my new friend. I have been using that button the last three days. Things at my day job are as exciting as ever (dripping with sarcasm) so I have plenty of time to try out that button. I have learned many things! Some people use blogs to advertise, some to hold conferences, some to pass along information, but most use it as a mode of communication (like myself). I have come across several sites run by teenagers where there are about 20 girls all contributing to the same site about how boring homeroom is or what they did when they finished their homework. I have seen lots of pictures of people I don’t know, seen languages I don’t recognize and read all about college students excited to go home for the Christmas holiday. I guess the big lesson to learn is that anyone can hit that button and land on my blog. So, I guess I always need to be wary of what I say.

With that said, I will now speak in code. The crow flies at midnight. No, just kidding. I will just refrain from putting people’s full names, address, social security numbers and mother’s maiden names on here.

Of course Mr. Computer Security (Brian) I am sure is nodding in agreement with me as he reads this. But nothing is really safe anymore anyways! We watched the movie Sneakers the other night. I really like that movie and have ever since the first time I saw it. I am not sure why I like it, since it’s not a chick flick and Brad Pitt’s not in it, but I do. Brian likes it for the obvious reason: it’s about breaking into computer systems. While watching it he says to me: this just goes to show how with enough time and money ANY security system is able to be hacked!

While also reading strangers blogs I have learned that there are some very good writers out there. I am not a good writer and my blog is not nearly as interesting as some I have come across. I have read about a grandmother having surgery, a sick dog and a father who had a stroke. But, hopefully my blog is exciting to those of you who read it!

So, not much has been new here. Last night I didn’t have to work at WnW! Brian has been in class all week here at my office, so we carpooled yesterday and stopped at the Post Office on the way home to pick up a package his sister had sent us. Then we ran home, let the dogs out, fed them, let them out again, and we were off to run some errands. We finished up the night at Macaroni Grill using up a gift certificate we received at a holiday party a few weeks back.

We carpooled again today. After work we will run home, get the dogs and go down to my parent’s house. We are going to go to the Electric Safari at the zoo tonight. I am looking forward to that! We go every year and I love it EVERY year. It’s a big part of Christmas tradition for me.

We are taking the dogs to my parent’s house as we need them to be taken care of this weekend. Tomorrow, I work at WnW all day and Brian is going to the motorcycle show in Denver. Then we have the SH Holiday party in Denver at Dave & Busters. Sunday I work all day again, Brian will be running cadets from the Academy to the airport and then we have our WnW holiday party at a restaurant downtown. So, we will pick the dogs up Sunday night after that party. I will miss being at the house without them, but we won’t be at the house that much.

Question of the day:

What would you wear for camouflage if you were hiding in a gingerbread house?

I think I would wear a mix of Twix bars and Junior Mints.
