Ummm

Good lord, I just can't really think of anything interesting to blog about. I guess I'll just recap my last few days and go from there...

Friday, DD stayed home because her eye was hurting. I took her to the Dr. even though I was pretty sure she had just scratched it somehow, but it turned out she has an ulcer on her eye. Poor little thing. So unusual in the first place to even have happen, and then she went and got it on her "good eye" (other eye has hideous vision). She has been putting in drops every single hour since then and finally today is feeling better and the doc said she looks a lot better. It should heal completely, eventually. *whew*

On Saturday I had planned on taking the kids kayaking but DD could not go so I just took DS. He was a PITA and complained that his arms were tired the whole time, lol.

On Sunday I took my friend Kristi and we had a blast. The water was high enough that we were able to explore the swampy areas. It was really warm and the sun was out so we floated across the lake while tanning our legs for the last 45 minutes or so. Pure heaven. :) And Carey, anytime you wanna go with me, let me know. I'm thinking spring would be a good time because I have a feeling we're out of nice weather weekends.

I have not been sleeping well for the last week and it is affecting my work quality. I caught myself in the middle of making several pretty big mistakes today. Hope there were none that I missed. It also makes me very cranky and anti-social. :(

I don't know why but this is the longest I've gone without posting on OT and I'm almost concerned at the fact that I don't miss it. Not sure what happened there... weird.

Oh! I need to download a new ring-tone and I need suggestions. I want a good song that most people recognize *and* like. A classic that's still cool, lol. Any suggestions?

Is it just me...

Or is OT down? I went to check in there the other day and got the "this page cannot be found" screen. I didn't really think twice about it but then I just tried again today and got the same thing. Is anyone else getting in? Also, realitytvworld loads fine, just not the message boards.

Kelly came out

Kelly called me on Friday to let me know she officially came out at work. She's been so active with the Prop 8 stuff that in a small way, I think she felt she was coming out slowly, but wanted to just make it official. She sounded wonderful and was so relieved by everyone's reaction. She basically just told them that when she started there (two years ago) she kept it to herself because she didn't want to make a big deal out of it but at this point, she felt she was being dishonest by not just getting it out. Either way, I'm relieved for her and I'm glad I'm no longer the only one who knows there. She got the reaction she needed and I think she feels a lot better now. :)



So, on Saturday, I took my SIL kayaking. She had never been before and was so cute and fun to go with. Here are some pics I took. The first one is her getting into the kayak. It's easier getting in than out, in my opinion.



I was so excited that we were able to make it to this structure. Last time I was blocked from it by the rowing races.

This is inside the structure. We ate lunch in here because there was no current and it was relaxing.

This is how we got in and out. Thank goodness the water didn't rise while we were inside, lol!


Heading back out onto the lake. Kayaking is addicting. I could easily go every weekend.





This is probably my one update for the week. I'm finding less and less time to blog and have spent practically zero time on OT. Hope everyone is well.

Tabitha the witch...

Since I've been working for the last 6 months, my name has become something I use on a daily basis. It's really made me *think* about whether I like my name. The thing is, I never have. I always wished my parents had gone with Rachael (my dad's choice) or something else. Something more "normal" or cutesy. I just don't like Tabitha. Anyways, not surprisingly, I get a lot of comments on my "unusual/unique/different" name. I still don't *like* it, but I'm beginning to hate it a little less.

A lot of people still associate my name with the show Bewitched. *points to title* I get asked if I can wiggle my nose sometimes. I also used to have people call me Samantha because they would mix up the characters. Annoying.

Now I'm wondering how common this is. Do you like your name? What do you wish your name was if you could have chosen it? Do people ever accidentally call you something else?

I like old names like Sarah and Laura. I would love a sexy name like Candy, too, lol. When I was a teenager I sometimes went by Roxanne. I'm a dork. *grin*

So spill it. Give me two names you might have liked to have had.
