Dammit.
I was so tired all day. And now that it’s almost 4am, I am wiiiiiiiiiiiiiide awake. For frick’s sake. I have a crapload of stuff to take care of tomorrow. Er, today. Whatever Monday is.
Well, seeing as I’m not doing anything right now, here is a brief rundown of stuff that happened last week… if I can even remember that far back.
Thursday, 11/30/06:
Good news: Had a holiday/client lunch event for work. Got a ton of cool stuff.
Good news:Went to my Finance class. Found out that the Final exam is now “optional.” Seeing as I got A’s on my first two exams, did all the homework, and hopefully turned in a good group project/paper, I doubt I’m taking the final exam… whoo hoo!
BAD news: On the way back to the office from lunch, noticed a very, very bad thing. I SWEAR IT WAS NOT MY FAULT! I have no idea what happened to the sapphire that flanked the diamond, but I thank the universe that I didn’t lose the diamond. On the other hand, I have a very bad track record with these damn sapphires. This is the THIRD time the sapphire has fallen out. (See below. This picture shows the setting intact, but the sapphire gone! I swear I wasn’t doing anything to cause it to fall out. I was not playing basketball. I did not punch anyone in the head. In fact, I have barely been wearing it since last year when we had to get the setting made again because of the “mangling” incident.)
::the second time. 6/26/2005 (but I never got around to posting the picture or blogging about it. So this was definitely somewhat my fault. I don’t know how this happened except that I know that I was applauding during a concert and then as soon as the concert was over, I noticed my ring was TOTALLY MESSED UP! Luckily, I was able to go back to my seat and FIND THE SAPPHIRE. They did have to totally redo the entire setting for my ring, though. Seriously, it wasn’t like I was clapping THAT hard!)::
::the first time i lost a sapphire. 5/30/2003 (thx to Mike Doss for keeping my archives alive, since they didn’t import into Wordpress. Sorry no pix. Since it was the first time, and because it happened within 6 months of us getting the ring, the jeweler replaced it for free. Somehow I doubt that they’ll do it again, though.)::

After work, I went to visit my Grandma & take care of some business for my parents. I ended up being there almost all afternoon and evening.
Is it really December?
I got bacteria from Efi for my birthday. This was a late shipment after previously receiving a book about yogurt and an Atari video game. Thanks, Efi! I know you must love me lots to send me bacteria for my birthday!!!
Talked to Bro on the phone a bit.
Saturday, 12/2/06:
Where the heck did the day go? Got up “early” but got distracted with junk online and almost didn’t get to pick up my snail mail in time.
Ran Rooben around the house.
Drove the Yoshi downtown in the afternoon for a brief appointment.
Came back, got ready for our friend Lauren’s robot birthday party.
Sunday, 12/2/06:
Cleared a whole bunch of crap off the TiVo.
Went to my former classmate’s place for a Holiday Open House. Had a lovely time. They had a great mix of guests and had it catered and everything. I had an extended conversation with a Finance professor (not mine) about the errors he found in a text book. (Weird.)
Talked to the Bro on the phone again.
Took a 20 minute nap on the couch in front of the TV. (Thanks, Nature!)
Things I did not do:
Clean my desk
Organize any of my crap around here
Clean the house
A lot of other stuff I was supposed to do instead of lying around and being a bum.
It sounds like you were busy anyways. I think you got lots accomplished.
I don’t wear rings to begin with, but I especially wouldn’t wear a ring with a set stone in it for anything but a super special occasion. I bought my wife a plain gold band for Valentine’s Day one year to wear for normal use instead of the wedding ring for that very reason.
Well, hopefully you’ll use the bacteria for something good–and not for evil.
