Cold in the office again. If I crank the heat though I'll bake so I'll just type with blue fingers. Wish I had something interesting to talk about. I feel like all I do is blog about how dull my life is, when it really isn't. I figured that it may seem dull by other people's standards, but if you're happy with what you do, then what's boring about that? I actually enjoy working on websites and chatting with friends surfing in general. I enjoy going to the movies or renting them. Nothing, in my opinion, is finer than curling up with that certain someone, munching on red licorice and watching videos in the dark. Especially if that someone and you end up getting some during the movie and neither of you can talk about the film the next day because you have no clue how it ended :)

Oh there's that subject of sex again... It keeps popping up, forgive me. I only mention it because there was a movie once that I've never seen the end of because my significant other and myself apparently couldn't not have sex during it. I don't know what it was (and no, it wasn't a porn) but we'd settle down to watch it and pretty soon we would be under the blanket paying no attention to the screen whatsoever. I'm not complaning though, I'd much rather have sex than watch a movie (*gasp!* Did I just say that??) - well really, who in their right mind wouldn't?

Anyway, enough sex talk. As I said, I'm happy. I might be happier if I were to move out of this stupid city, but I've come to accept the fact that I just can't right now. I'll look forward instead to the day when I can get out of Nebraska, and the cool thing about that is I can literally go anywhere I want. I think I'd like to try the east coast for a change. California's cool and all but I don't want to live there again. I'm thinking New England :) But i also liked Chicago when I was there, and I'd be closer to my friend Kat... I dunno, we'll see :) Better sign off the blog now and get some work done. Cheerio :)

So I made this journal a bit more public. Not sure why, but maybe I have some sort of perverse desire to have total strangers peek into my life. This is still a hidden link on the main site but anyone who knows how to view the source can find it easily enough. And I'm showing up in search engines, confound it all. Oh well :)

Went a little bit mad with the tax refund money (after the bills were paid of course) and bought a few nice things. Felt really good to do that. I still have a nice chunk left that I'm going to hang on to for a while in case I have an emergency - and I've been emergency-free for a while now so I'm sure something bad will happen fairly soon. Went ice skating the other day and had a lovely time doing that. Bit scary though as I hadn't been since I was around my daughter's age and my sense of balance has evidently gotten worse :)

There's just not a whole lot going on in my life right now. Kelly's moving to London next month and while I support her in doing so, I can't help but think she's not being very clever about it. And I speak as someone who wasn't very clever about it herself when she went. I didn't have a job lined up before I went, neither does she. I didn't have a friend to stay with - she does, but London is damn expensive. I DID have a 6 month work visa to start off with, she doesn't and any job she's likely to get will be crap pub work that pays you under the table. So she will be working illegally. I didn't move over there during a time of impending war and the government didn't crack down hard on illegal immigrants (well, they didn't bother me when I was illegal for 6 months). Granted Kelly is not from any of the "axis of evil" countries, and she's a blonde white girl, but she will still be in country illegally after her tour visa expires. I don't know... I hope she works it all out, but a tiny part of me hopes she comes back.

Ah well.. I'm signing off before I get all sniffly.

I'm going mad. I really think I am on a slow dive descent into insanity. Or maybe it's just cabin fever. I can't tell. The kidlet's been sick for the last 5 days so we've been stuck inside apart from brief forays to the store and the doc and I'm sick of the sight of my place. Ugh. I'm even looking forward to going to my office tomorrow.

Anyway, that's my life lately. Sick child, endless teaspoons of cough syrup, enough kleenex to choke a horse, worrying, feeling her pain with every racking cough in the middle of the night. I hate it when she's sick. We had such lovely weather this weekend. She should have been out playing in it, not laid up in bed. *sigh* Poor thing. She's on the mend now though. Turns out it was a flu turned bacterial infection so we have some lovely antibiotics and she should be good as new very soon.

Anyway, it's taking me forever to write in this so I must not have anything interesting to say. Offski.
