August 23, 2003Maybe blogging isn't my thing...Okay...I'm still getting used to this whole "blogging" thing. I know I should blog on a regular basis, but I haven't been doing a good job of it. The last week just seemed to fly by so fast. I had EMS duty on Tuesday night, and it wasn't too bad. We only had two calls so I did manage to get some sleep. Wednesday night, I packed some more for the move. I also was dealing with an irritable computer. I have discovered that Norton Antivirus works better with my computer than McAfee does. I don't know if it is because I have Windows XP or what. I'm not a computer guru...nor do I pretend to be. Tonight, I volunteered to work the cash bar at the annual CPS/CAP banquet. I didn't serve any drinks, just sold the drink tickets. Both Beverly and I volunteered to do it...then we found out earlier this week that we had to register and pay the $30 to attend. Since we were volunteering to work, we didn't realize that we would still be required to pay. It wasn't a total loss, the speaker was pretty good. Unfortunately, no one told us that we should have brought some type of petty cash for the cash box; nor did anyone tell us to bring a calculator since the drinks were all different prices (and not just "whole dollar" amounts). Talk about a mess! Fortunately, some of the attendees did have some change to give us, but it was still very organized. Being the survivors that we are, Bev and I made it through the night...without one single alcoholic drink! Move Update: I now have 38 boxes packed! I still haven't figured out how I'm going to move the big items yet. It's not that far (just around the corner), but I still have to get the stuff downstairs...without destroying it. Beverly volunteered to help me move, which is very sweet of her. She normally goes to Jewett, TX every weekend, which is where her husband moved once he retired. She stays in Alvin during the week with her daughter, and then drives home on the weekend. So, just to help me move, she's going to stay in Alvin that weekend. I am talking the day off from work that Friday, September 12th, so I can start on moving the smaller items. Congrats to my friend Meredith! She's also moving into a new place the same weekend I am. I'm sure she'll throw a house-warming party shortly after she moves in (hint, hint). I would throw one...but Alvin's a little far for a lot of people. Only two months before the Aeros first home game of the season! I can't wait. It's going to be weird not having Curtis Murphy on the team, but I know he'll succeed no matter what team he is on. He is that damn good! Well, that's it for tonight. Hope everyone has a great weekend! Posted by Julie at August 23, 2003 11:04 PMComments
Ironic, I found McAfee to work better than Norton, but neither fixed my computer at work in any event. Also, maybe you should work as a mover ... 38 freakin boxes? Sheesh. I think I was still closer to 9 two days before my last move .. but that's why I despise moving. Posted by: Greg Wythe at August 24, 2003 07:23 AM |
