I won’t be home for Christmas
I had made plans to leave work today at 3pm, come home and finish packing, load up my car, fill up with gas, and head down to Mom & Dad’s for Christmas. I was hoping we’d make a trip to Wahpeton on Christmas Day or Saturday to see my Grandma. It’s only an hour drive, … Continue Reading
Happy Holidays
I finally wrote out my Christmas cards the other nite. I was later that in previous years. Not really sure why I procrastinated so much, but I got ’em out … that’s all that matters. I sent out a Christmas letter with my cards. I thought I would post it here for my friends that … Continue Reading
Dear Santa – UPDATED
It’s that time of year again. The calendar has turned to December, and there is snow in the forecast (ewwwwww). I’m not even remotely ready for Christmas this year. I haven’t even decided what baked goodies I’m going to make this year let alone buy the ingredients I need for them. I’d better get my … Continue Reading
Becky’s got her groove back
Tomorrow will end my first week of work at my new job. Things have been going good and the people are nice. I don’t feel like an outsider like I have at other jobs. I’ve finished up one project and have started another. It feels soooooo good to be working with php again. For the … Continue Reading

Happy Halloween
Keep an eye out on those dark corners and alleys. You never know what might be lurking there …
I’m in ‘Dega … kinda
Last year I mentioned that I signed up to have my name on Dale Earnhardt Jr’s racecar in the race at Talladega. AMP decided to do the promotion again this year. Of course I had to sign up again. Last year my name was on the roof of the car. This year it’s on the … Continue Reading
Open letter to ESPN
RE: NASCAR race coverage To whom it may concern: We need to talk about the quality of your coverage of the Nationwide series and Sprint Cup series race broadcasts. I can sum the broadcasts up in one word: POOR. You really need to improve the quality of the broadcasts. You are managing to piss off … Continue Reading
I can’t live without you
Yesterday morning I was charging my iPod, and my computer suddenly shut off. First I freaked. Then I freaked some more when it wouldn’t turn back on. My first thought was that it had gotten too hot or something, but it still wouldn’t turn on after it cooled down a bit (and it really wasn’t … Continue Reading
Job search update
Tomorrow will be 2 months since my last day of work on my last contract job (the one that the company ended early [for financial reasons]). As I mentioned a few days ago, there haven’t been all that many opportunities around the Fargo area … at least not opportunities that have peaked my interest. A … Continue Reading
