after all that template work
Merry Christmas!
I'm not going to PC it up and say Happy Holidays instead, but I will say it as well, so that whatever your affiliations or lack thereof, you can feel free to enjoy some time off to spend with family, or watching tv, or playing xBox, or whatever you like to do.
It's really late, and I have to go to bed. I hope Santa found you!

like I need another time-sucker
thanks to my sister for this one.
WebSoduko
Good luck! Default is easy, I'd highly recommend starting there. And reading the rules, it actually makes it easier.

seriously though, cutest baby ever.
I've managed to not post any pictures of my dear boy on this site so far, but that time is over now. I think, upon seeing the picture, you'll understand why I felt the need to share it with everyone who might stumble across this page.
enjoy.
enjoy.

mystery rodent!
I think it's a weasel, but I'm not sure. Mort was chasing leaves at the window, or so I thought. His mewing and pawing the glass were a little more insistent than usual, so the baby and I went over to investigate. We saw a small white rodent-y type animal scurrying around the yard. Very exciting. We went out and took a picture of it, as it was diving under ground.
From my extensive research on GoogleImages, it's a weasel. They turn white in winter. Who knew? They're a lot cuter than I had imagined a weasel to be. Weasel's a pretty negative image, but they just must be very sneaky little animals to have earned their nickname association. Anyway, that was my excitement for the day, I put up some more pictures on the baby's site to keep the relatives happy, and am now going to get showered to keep myself happy.
Later skaters.

hooray for Primus
I got the whole Rogers thing sorted out, so that's good. It took 45 minutes on the phone, largely on hold, and 3 people to sort it for me, but the 3rd guy actually knew what he was talking about (odd, I know), and explained what had happened in about 15 seconds. Nice of him. His name is Jeff. Thanks Jeff. I still hate Rogers, but it's nice to know you're not all a bunch of useless tits. I've also switched my long distance and internet over to Primus. It's still dial-up, but comes with an accelerator, which actually works. Hooray again!
I've retouched the gift blog. There are actually some things on there that I hope to get, as well as my dear, sweet laptop. I'm not taking it off the list. Feel free to post your lists, it's fun.
In other, unrelated news, I went to check out my old preggo blog, to find that it has been taken over by somebody else. Jenn was right when she said I should save it somewhere else to make sure that it was safe in case Blogger exploded or something, and I think in fact it was doing just that which allowed this other woman to take over the site. I republished the whole thing on another server, and never changed the publish-to address back to blogspot. Ah well. I had a mini heart attack in the 2 seconds before I rememebered that though.
Hmm. 23 days until Christmas, I should get this site all festive looking again. I was going to count the shopping days, but it's the same number here since we have Sunday shopping. Just you po' folks in NS don't, I think. I have lots of plans for my time, but all I generally end up doing is surfing around and playing minesweeper. I have a gift I'm supposed to be making though, so I really do need to get on that.
On that note, the shower and my project are beckoning. I cleaned the tub this morning, with new Lysol cleaner (new to me) and it has the most disgusting smell ever. "Summer Breeze" or some such foolishness. It smells like...I don't know. Something really gross. I'll either have to get new stuff, or the fiancé will have to do the cleaning. Somehow, I'm thinking option A is going to be the viable one.
