You got to give it to those guys at Time Life...they sure come up with some really cool compilations! I'm watching one of those infomercials for Time Life where the guys from Air Supply are pimping the Soft Rock Collection. I want this set (11 CDs)! There are some awesome songs on here. I was just looking for some of them on iTunes and a lot of them aren't on there. Bummer.

OK, I've been crocheting away while I've been watching The Polar Express on ABC Family channel. I love that "Hot Chocolate" song from that movie. The animation is a little weird, but still a good story. I've got almost 23 feet of garland done up to this point. Yay, me!



There's a classic Christmas show marathon on ABC Family most of the day tomorrow. I'll have to check it out while I'm decorating. It's supposed to be in the 60s tomorrow, so hopefully I can get most of the outside stuff up before Marcus goes to work. Since the company Christmas party is tomorrow night (and we're not going because Marcus is Mr. Antisocial and I can't go by myself since I'm only part time), they're closing the whole place down so people can attend. They're a 24/7 operation, so the place to be totally shut down is rare. Marcus is using that time to take the networks down and do some work he's been itching to do since he started there.

I had intended on watching my Netflix DVDs early in the week so that I could have Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest here for this weekend's viewing pleasure. Oh, well.

I found a treetop star that $7 at Ace Hardware of all places. Every other one I saw around town that lit up was expensive and ugly.

I search for stuff all the time and I love finding a search vehicle where I can win things doing those searches. Especially if it is things I want like Xboxes, iPods, iTunes Gift Certificates, Amazon Gift Certificates and cold hard cash! There's a new one called Winzy Search and Win.

There are three ways you can win through their search:

1. Win instantly by searching from their home page
2. A friend that you've referred wins and you win as well
3. Points earned for searches allows entries into a monthly sweepstakes

If you want to try it out, sign up through the button in this post or the one in my sidebar. That way if you win, I win!

Today is payday at work and I really don't want to see how small the check is. It's going to contain Thanksgiving (which I didn't but probably should have worked) and Tuesday where I got sent home early. I'm trying to find another part time job since the chances of becoming full time there in the near future is looking grim and I keep missing the higher paying opportunities on PPP. *sigh*

I had a whole list of stuff I wanted to blog about yesterday and by the time I got home from work, *poof*, all ideas fled my brain. I really hate when that happens. I did have a brainstorm about what I want the new design here to be, I just hope I can get it implemented before Christmas. LOL

That all said, must head off for work. I hope they can find me something to do, because I got off half an hour early yesterday because I had done everything I could do.

This stupid ruling that made us lose our NY/LA stations is really pissing me off. I almost missed Medium tonight because I lost all my my timers when the stations went away. Fortunately CSI: New York was a repeat and I only missed the first 10 minutes of Medium, but this sucks. Thursday was always tricky even with both coasts to tape from. Looks like if I can't watch Supernatural live on the antennae, then I'll miss it totally. At least I can watch Ugly Betty on ABC's website. I really wish television would go totally "on-demand" and you could watch what you want when you want.
