and did i mention how much i miss you guys while i'm at work?

it's something i feel silly admitting, but i do.
which is probably why it's best that i AM at work.
perhaps i was becoming a little too dependent.

so in case you're wondering...
i got here at 10 but the girl i get work from is not here.
so that means i won the blog lottery.
er.
well, it means i can spin out a post really quick without feeling like i'm wasting time.
this keyboard is kind of sticky--not like that--the keys themselves sort of stick or something.
oh wait--i think i know someone in the IT department who could hook me up.
if by "know" you realize i mean "am married to" and by "in the IT department" I mean "is the IT department"...then, yeah.
i will have the nicest keyboard on the market within 15 minutes.

so yesterday was a fun day.
i was, as i mentioned, in a ragingly bad mood--for no reason.
but then Becky came over and we went to the gym.
then we did a little shopping--me spending all her money.
(i highly recommend it)
and THEN we got our respective boy treats and took the kids to swim.
there is a new reservoir at the mouth of the canyon...
i will have to take my camera next time.
there are mountains all around and it's just breathtaking.
there is a sandy beach and the water's warmish.
it was nice.
we bbq'ed and sunned and swam.
then i took one of my guys for a walk around the perimeter.
about a third of the way around, i noticed a 3 foot snake lying very still on the embankment--just inches from the concrete sidewalk thing.
have i ever mentioned how intensely afraid of snakes i am?
it used to be so bad that i couldn't even go near the snake house at a zoo, or watch a snake on tv.
but, i forced myself to get over it a bit, because i hate having fears--they end up having too much control over my life.
however.
bleh.
i'm still really squeamish.
so i stood there, frozen--barely breathing.
then i grabbed my little one and walked slowly down the side of the reservoir.
it sucked.
i just realized this is the second post in two days about snakes.
could this be a subliminal message of some sort??
do i have "snakes" on the brain?
heh.

so anyway.
we went home, put the kids to bed and had daquiris.
and beer.
and much craziness ensued.
that is the end of that story--for here.
daaaamn.

okay, my work has arrived, it's time for me to go do it.
have a beautiful day filled with delicious food, good music and warm conversations.
and don't forget the hot sex.
