Damn Blogger

Although it may seem as if I haven't posted in close to two weeks, that is truly not the case. I posted Erica's little roundup of 2006 survey before I left for Ohio last week, but it didn't post. Damn you blogger. So now I am back at work after my nice week off. I went to visit the fam in Ohio from Wed to Sunday, and it was a nice trip, but it went so fast. But never fear, I get next Mon and Tues off for Xmas.

Also, as many of you know I am purchasing a co-op in gramercy. I am very excited and I have my co-op interview tomorrow night. Wish me luck! AHH!

Holidays Time

We hung up the Holiday lights in our copy department. And it is so fun and festive. I can't believe my week of vacation starts on Tuesday already and then I leave for Hanukkah in Ohio with the family, a week from today. It will be nice to get away for a few days.

I've taken a little bit of a break from watching 24 of netflix. I love it and I am so hooked on the happenings of Mr. Jack Bauer, but after watching two full seasons, one right after each other, I needed a little bit of a light-hearted break. So I just watched Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless mind starring Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet. And I loved it. It was so weird and different. But really, really good. Everyone definitely check it out!
