we're gonna have some fun, show ya how it's done: tgif

I'm home for lunch.

It's such a treat to get to compose a blog post during the day.

Oh, wait. I don't know what to write about. I need a topic.

There are several things I could tell you about -- my new job, the amount of money I have spent in the last two weeks due to not coming home for lunch, how cold it is in Kentucky today, and (in related news) about the snowstorm that we may or may not get tonight or tomorrow morning.

So, there's plenty to choose from.

Let's start with the new job -- I love it. I have really clicked with the staff, the customers are all friendly, and it's been an easy transition (with the expception of the 8:15 a.m. arrival.)

However, I'm still really glad it's Friday.

I'll be even happier when it's time to lock the bank doors at 6:05 tonight.

I am looking forward to the weekend, and the possibility of being snowed-in is, which is quite appealing. I will watch movies and college basketball and read books and write. I'll also think about how I need to clean my house -- which is a thought that is less appealing. Obvi.

Ohh, and I'll sleep. I will sleep as if it's going out of style. I don't think I've gotten more than six hours of shut-eye on any given night this week, and I require eight, minimum, to be useful to society. Clearly, I've been performing on adrenaline at my new job this week. I can't run on that forever. I'm not a machine.

How's the weather where you are? Do you have any awesomespice weekend plans?  Can you believe it's almost the end of January?

One more thing before I put the petal to the metal and head back to the bank: thanks to Sierra Godfrey for including me in her Friday Reader Roundup! I feel special. spice.

No plans, alas. An extra day taking care of the kids since today is the day between semesters and here that means they get the day off. Had a CT scan this morning that took forever because the little EKG electrodes they had hooked to me showed my heart rate jumping between 5, 105, 33, 87, 12, etc. They assured me this was a malfunction of the machine and not my heart. Realized as I slide towards elder status that this is what I have to look forward to -- a bunch of visits to various doctors as my body wears out.

Cherish your youth, my young friend. The weather here in the Great Northwest is unusually mild. Something to do with El Nino and the jet stream splitting in two, so as California gets socked with rain we bask in near-sunlight. I wish it would snow here. Winter without snow is like a bagel without cream cheese.

The whether here in the big A was gorgeous until yesterday. Sun was out, birds were shining, women in sun dresses where frolicking around.. well, maybe not, but you get the idea. Now, clouds moved in, and we are threatened by the same snow system you are.

No plans. Def cleaning, writing, finishing the two books I've been reading, and catching up on Dexter and criminal minds. I'm all caught up on CSI.

I don;t remember the last time I had eight hours sleep (outside the weekend and sick time). Its one of those things that you never get used to.

Enjoy your sports.

Hold up - you work 8.15 am until 6.05 pm??? That is soooo not right!

The weather in Glasgow . . . has been okay, surprisingly, after three weeks of the coldest conditions I remember for AT LEAST thirteen years. Although I never left my flat today (I had the day off) and don't know what it was like outside - and I don't intend to leave my flat again until Monday morning.

I live a truly fascinating life...

I'm glad you like your new job! I actually don't have any plans either. Just catch up on my blog reading. ;) It's pretty cold/snowy here, so I'm fine with staying in.

It's sunny here. As always:) My daughter wore capris to school. I have no awesome weekend plans, unless you think unpacking is awesome. And, a big fat NO!, I cannot believe it's the end of January. Where did that month go? Oh yeah, movingspice. Blech.

I can't do a post on my lunch hour; I tried once and got back so late . .

Sometimes I visit other blogs on lunch though, and leave a comment. It's kinda cool not to be the last commenter on an interesting post.

Hope you had a relaxing weekend.

Closing Arguments, Trial 3. The Defense: Closing the Case of Adnan Syed v Alice LaCour and Brett Talley

  Would Hae Have Liked Pineapple on Pizza? If it Pleases the Court... Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury, I want to start by thanking you for your time. It is no small task to put your lives on hold and focus in on the details and particulars and specifics of this case, and it may be a struggle to focus when you have to think about what you're missing at home. Your civil duty - and your willingness to fulfill it - does NOT go unnoticed. I mentioned "time." It's a relative, term, right? I had to wait in line at the post office for 15 minutes. I waited for the checkout gal at Wal-Mart for 20, because they didn't have enough lanes open. I don't know about you, but I try to be patient. Sometimes I fail to wait gracefully, but I really do try.  So. Look at Adnan. For over TWENTY-THREE YEARS he has been waiting... patiently. 23 years ago, I was about the same age as Adnan. I graduated high school in the spring of 1999, just like he did - or would have - had he not bee

20 Points in a Basic Story in the Botched Case Against Adnan Syed: I Must Be Insane as that's 5x More than any Other Basic Story Presentation I've Ever Seen

  Basic Story With 20 Points:  Could Adnan be Innocent? "It's not a cop-out; it's case law." ~Bob Ruff, host, Truth and Justice Pod   1 Adnan was the main suspect - Hae's family passed that along to Officer Adcock on the afternoon she disappeared. Originally, they suspected she might be with Don, even though she had to work at 6pm and had never once NOT brought her cousin home. Does anyone know how old the second cousin is? Two cousins lived with Hae. And Officer Adcock's Supplemental Report dated 1/13/99 states that Mr. Lee advises that she "did not pick up his two cousins from school.") Did they go to the same school, these cousins? Another question that could be explored is why Hae's uncle is the only immediately family member who doesn't live with Hae.  Another pain point for me - I'm confused as to why the cousins did not live with their dad, Hae's uncle... but look. Every family has different dynamics. I mean, I gues

Not The Nisha Call: Other Things to Consider in the Case of Adnan Syed

"If there is anything about my case, man - I want to know... I want to test it... There's nothing about my case that that I'm afraid of." - Adnan Syed Serial, Episode 12: What We Knew Instead of focusing on a flower and Jay's Changing Stories, Consider This: A) The policemen handling the Missing Persons Investigation did sloppy and lazy work. They back dated reports and failed to interview multiple people  thoroughly enough. B) The police did not interview the family robustly enough to understand what else might have been going on in Hae's life. They, to my knowledge, did not find a translator and instead relied on the guidance of her younger brother. C) A computer, a floppy disk containing electronic diary entries were noted and later went "missing"  D) Hae's email and AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) accounts were never researched thoroughly, and her online activity is relatively unknown, outside of her newly updated "away message" which s
