gruntled - - and not

plumbing be damned
EVERY time it feels like we have the worst behind us, something else comes up and bites us in the collective ass. it's enough to make me consider digging an outhouse.
ok, not really, but close.

focus factor
i'm having a very difficult time keeping my head down and getting work done. nothing seems to want to make sense right now - - like what i'm doing, why i'm doing it, who - exactly - it's for...

rock star salamander
i have, however, at work just completed a project on which i am listed as a co-creator. it's a tool for other employees to use to make their jobs happier, easier, more meaningful. it is EXACTLY the kind of work i love doing here, and thus far, it's been extremely well received.

backyardigans bliss
my daughter is starting to catch on that the backyardigans are cool. they are, by far, my favorite kids show right now and it's nice that we can enjoy together. i'm thinking of getting us a few cd's for house-keeping days.

snow
it's actually, finally, pretty-winter here in michigan. the snow flies nearly every day and the yards and rooftops are all a wonderful marshmallowey white. as a bonus, the road folks (at least in wayne county) are doing a great job of keeping one step ahead, so i get to see pretty snow, and still have a relatively decent (and safe) drive.

and for now, that's a wrap (i want to stop while there is more green than red!)
happy tuesday
