Vacation Time

Its the end of the semester, and in a few short hours I will be leaving work for the last time this year. Thankfully I get a nice 2 week vacation for Christmas, which is well deserved as this semester has definitely worn me out. None of my library programs are working yet, as the server that houses everything I use is being rebuilt, what that means is that I'm scratching my head for things to do around here, I've already tried to fix a broken chair, moved some computers around and played 3 games of pool........ all in a days work right. Kristin is working a half day today, and probably hoping for some "time to herself" this afternoon, but I'll give her a Christmas surprise and show up at home about the same time, because I'm taking a half day too, haha.

I am sure most of you are wondering more about her than about me anyways, so I will just say that she is doing good, she is finally really starting to show, and she told me last night that she has started feeling the baby kick and move around and all that good stuff. It was really weird, up until Thanksgiving she wasn't really showing at all, we got back to SD from LA on Friday evening, she still wasn't showing that much, then Saturday all the sudden it became very very noticeable, just in one evening. Maybe she ate too much Thanksgiving turkey.

So for all you naysayers out there that thought I wouldn't make another post, here is a *gasp* second post, we are looking forward to seeing all of you soon, and of course eating some of Grandma O's homemade noodles, you better make a lot Grandma, Kristin has been talking about those noodles for a few weeks now. Oh and I'll be sure and put some pictures up on here when I am at home and have access to them.

Welcome!!!

As many of you know I am really bad with communication...... it probably runs in the family, so that combined with tedious boredom at work while I am waiting for a server, or more importantly my ILS to be back online (thanks Windows Update!!!) has prompted me to start this blog. I don't know how often I will update it, and I can't promise that I won't forget about it all together, but I hope to give you the inside scoop on my adventures and musings on life, the universe........ and everything, well maybe not everything, I have to maintain some level of mystery. To add to that, despite the amazingly interesting title I have given this blog (rest assured I have traveled to the strangest places in the Milky Way galaxy..... Humboldt county), I am sure most people will not find learning which piece of library software I am researching, or how many books I cataloged last week, or what web page project I am working on very interesting (so there will be no work related talk here). That is not to say I will not have interesting things to talk about, like didgeridoos, animal encounters, music, the inflating price of rocket fuel, deviled eggs, nature excursions, interesting books, multiple dimensions, what I say when I talk in my sleep, the crazy people who knock on my door at 9:00 at night trying to sell me incredibly overpriced chocolate or magazine subscriptions, how bad southern California drivers are (especially in the rain), oh and of course family things. Although I am sure most people reading this would rather hear about the witty bantar I have with myself in my sleep. Niesch bothe gromulty sra vegra (I speak a made up language when I am sleeping). So there you have it, stay tuned for the next ultra exciting post.*

*Disclaimer - there may not be a next post, as I can make no promises to my ability of remembering to make a next post - read each post as it may be the last ....... from me anyways.
