After we got the sectional for our family room, we moved the old slipcovered couch into what we call the living room. Well when I went home for Christmas, mom gave me this "thing" that makes an awesome coffee table. It was actually a fixture in my dad's old golf store, and when he relocated he was just going to leave it behind. Mom grabbed it because she knew it would make a great coffee table somewhere. That somewhere ended up being my living room. :-) And it does open up for storage. I really like my freebie!

Oh Katieeee....

It's safe to come back. :-)

Ta daaaaaa!

Ok, so I spiffied up my blog. Much better. Not sure if I'm 100% happy with it because it kind of makes me want to have a seizure. But now I know how to mess with the HTML, so changing it again will be easier and less time consuming.

I'm at work which has become less and less "fun" to do. It started out great, but as time passes, I have a "co-worker" who is making it very very hard to enjoy my days. This is my personal blog and I should be able to say names and tell stories, but our IT at this company is so invasive that I fear doing so would not be of my best interest. So, other than said "co-worker" making my days miserable, having a shitty IT department that monitors email and amount of time spent on the internet, and basically being a data entry clerk for the past 5 months, yeah, the job is great. :-) In all seriousness, the job really is great. It's a relaxed environment and it can be very rewarding.

What I was actually getting at when I mentioned that I was at work, was that I don't have the time (before getting caught by previously mentioned IT department) to make an interesting post as to what's being going on the past couple months. Soon...
