Hmm... what's going on today? Candy is sick--get better, Candy! She is at home resting, while I'm at work. Work work work... Almost lunch time. What should I have for lunch? I had cream of wheat this morning for breakfast. But, I forgot to bring some soymilk to the office. :( Oh, well. I will drink some soymilk when I get home. I should really think about making my own soymilk.

"I'll read your blog, if you'll read mine"
Wed Oct 8 13:50:27 EDT 2003
Been helping Schlumpfie set up his website (router, blog tool, etc.), and I think he wants some advertisement, so you can hit his page, but after his domain name registration goes through, here. He seems to think that his website is more exciting than cream of wheat, but may I reiterate again that it only takes three tablespoons of cream of wheat to make a whole cup? Do people not understand the significance? :) Anyways, we made this pact of "I'll read your blog, if you'll read mine," which is pretty cool... since his blogs are usually shorter--and not everyday, so, looks like I got the better deal. :)

Hmm, trip to Amsterdam. I'm waiting for the value of the US dollar to go up before ordering any currency. Besides that, I am looking for the perfect raincoat--something with a hood, that looks nice so it can be dressy or casual, lined so it is warm, and at least falls to the knee for me. DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD THAT IS TO FIND? :p I think I have a backup one at Gap, if I can't find anything else. There is a cute down one at Eddie Bauer, but that can't be dressy, hmm? And, it might be too warm for late October in Amsterdam. And of course, clothes! That is going to be the hardest part... my trip is eight days, which is a pretty long time. Are eight bottoms and eight tops going to be enough? too much? And then, what about accessories? One purse? two? I'm already going to have three pairs of shoes. Maybe I should take a practice run at packing, to see what amounts to a half of a suitcase. Yes! that sounds like a plan.

cream of wheat
Tue Oct 7 09:25:28 EDT 2003
Started eating cream of wheat for breakfast... I like the peach flavor the best, but I got a box of regular, since I had a coupon for it. Did you know that only 3 Tbsp. of cream of wheat makes a whole cup? That's rather impressive, don't you think?

inefficient UPS
Mon Oct 6 09:26:34 EDT 2003
So, let me just say how inefficient UPS was this morning. Candy and I went to send three boxes to our parents, and there was a new computer system in place. So, we had to enter in the label information, but there was an error in the zip-code lookup (some database error, it seemed)! And so, we waited, and finally went to some other computer that worked. Then, we stood in line behind this annoying guy (customer) and incompetent woman (UPS worker). They went back and forth of how she did something wrong, or how some calculation wasn't right, how he would be charged for shipping even thought it was a COD. All very annoying! And all waiting... waiting... waiting... And all this time, other people could have helped us, but for some reason, they didn't go to the register. Finally, the pickup/delivery guy opened up a register to help us--but he could have done that 10 minutes prior! So, we finally were done 40 minutes after we first entered the store. I wonder who wrote their software--it is crappy! GRRRRRRR... Monday morning, start of the week.... BIGGGGG GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

Wardrobe Planning
Fri Oct 3 13:05:03 EDT 2003
Yay, it is finally Friday! Working sucks... I need to get cracking on this startup venture that I have with two of my coworkers, and really get it going. You can only be fully satisfied if you work for yourself.

More planning for my trip to Amsterdam--I have been thinking a lot about my wardrobe. My goal is to only fill a maximum of one-half of my suitcase with my stuff (the rest will be empty or gifts for my friends in Europe) so I have room to fit things on my return trip. I think I have solved my shoe dilemma--I _will_ have three pairs of shoes on my trip. Yes, I know I only need two, but I want three. :) Now, I am going through my clothing plan. I am thinking of six bottoms (including one all-purpose black dress) and seven to ten tops (need to layer!). It will be pretty hard to pick multi-functional pieces... I think I will make a project of it and make little stickers with pictures of all the pieces, and then be able to make little mix and match cards. :) Next: accessories!

Hellooooo, all!
Wed Oct 1 09:52:40 EDT 2003
Hellooooo, all! Yay, my friend Holly, from England, has made her plans to come to Amsterdam, as well. It's going to be a really bitchin' time. :) She is coming the first weekend I will be there, and we just plan on having a lot of fun. I got my english/dutch dictionary, guidebook of Amsterdam, and a travel journal. I'm going to try to be very organized about my trip--but, I won't worry if I forget anything, I can just buy it in Amsterdam!

Work is going well today... no craziness (at least not for me). Hey, if you are reading this, and haven't signed my guestbook, you should do so. :p Hope you have a great day!
