I guess it's finally time I moved my blog. Blogger is no longer letting me do an FTP publish and I need to learn some new CMS publishing, so May 1st is my deadline. I doubt I'll make it, but if not, we'll go back to the old HTML method.

I just finished reading the book, The Working Poor, that I found on my roomie's bookshelf. Not sure why I picked it up or why she really had it, but it was an interesting book. Took me almost a year of never getting past the first 100 pages, but I made the breakthru around page 190 and finished it in 2 days.

The book talks about the cycles of how the lower class repeat their situation generation after generation and why even with the resources in place it doesn't also do the good it was intended. It was eye opening to me because I come from the world of if you work hard enough, good things will happen. So far it has been true, so to see the adversity others have faced and worked against to no avail is eye opening.

April Fool's Day is coming. That's it. Just wanted to remind you all in case you don't have that on your calendar.

During Snowpacolypse 2010 all these people complained about not being able to get out because their streets weren't plowed. I have to say for once, paying for all my HOA dues has paid off. I was never trapped or disappointed by my snow removal. Yesterday, they had front loaders moving the snow from the parking spaces. Go HOAs!!

My biggest complaint? Why were there not more front loaders, bulldozers, bobcats and anything that moves dirt in the neighborhoods helping move the snow? Seriously? Are you working building something or digging holes in the snow? I know plenty of people who would have paid $50 for anything to move the snow. For a neighborhood, that's worth about $10-20k. So instead of just sitting around not making money, you could have done this and just been plain helpful to people. Ok, enough ranting.

This has been the greatest winter of my life and it's just February. I have gotten more snow than ever and gotten pretty good at driving in it and not getting freaked out. Maybe we'll get another storm or two for me to practice more. My greatest decision of 2009 buying a new ride that has a magic button. It's a "W" and it does something magical in my car that stabilizes it on wet, icy, and snowy weather. Maybe it doesn't do anything at all and just makes me think it does, but my car seems to handle a lot better when I'm driving on the snow with it on. So I press the button.

Snow on!! :-)

It's a way better holiday today than that other made up Hallmark day. Have a great year of the Tiger!

THIS IS CRAZY!!! Stuck at work, but everybody here is good about the snow and being trapped together so it'll be a good time. Although they ALL blame me for this second blizzard. If only I had that kind of power.

I posted end tables on Craigslist for $10/each. I get an email back "$10 for both".

No "Thanks", "Hi", NOTHING! Just one line.

No. $10 for EACH!!
