At about ten o'clock on Friday the fire alarms went off at work. People hung up the phones and started filing out saying things like, I didn't know there was a fire drill today.
Heh. It wasn't a drill. Some idiot had let a bag of popcorn catch on fire in the microwave. The smoke set the alarms off. I didn't even make it all the way outside before the all clear was given.
And the place smelled like burnt popcorn for the rest of the day. Ugh.
Spent yesterday and today just lazing around the house. Bored. Dreaming about the kind of vacation I'd love to take...but I'm sure there won't be anything "special" this year. Unless my sis and I are able to go to NY for TARcon...which would be awesome and make up for not having a proper vaca.
(For those who don't know, TARcon is a "convention" of sorts which takes place in NYC on the night of the season finale of The Amazing Race. It is usually held in a bar and all the fans of the show who hang out on TWoP go and watch the show together while eating and drinking. The best part is that usually the racers and Phil show up after the show to meet and greet the fans. I've never been, but have wanted to go for years. Timing is the issue as the finales have usually fallen during December-not going to get an inexpensive flight to NY that close to Christmas-or if not then there was something going on family-wize.)
I'm still working on a blanket for my daughter's baby...the going is slow since my arm starts to ache after a while and I have to stop. But I'm hoping to have it finished and sent in the next week or so.
Guess that's it for now. Aren't you glad you read this blog? *eye roll*
