Small Thoughts: February 2014

Monday, February 10, 2014. The Emotional Vampire - Part 3. It's been a very long time, but let's finish the saga. Those of you who were in attendance at the wedding know that it went off without a hitch. There were some behind-the-scenes emergencies (like my first flower bouquet that committed botanical suicide) but I reveled in my day with my psychic/energetic shield in place to reflect the Emotional Vampire's emotional sabotage. He is a very wise man and I am a better person because of him. I was relie...

Small Thoughts: June 2013

Friday, June 21, 2013. Last Day of Gemini. That was actually my third early gift. My very first. Of course it would be from one of the people who have been celebrating it for a very, very long time! Now, some people will not appreciate just exactly how cool this item is. The Kuhn Rikon Ultimate Can Opener with Auto Attach Feature. No container shall ever stand in my way again. muahahaha. After work, Will dropped me off at the airport to fly back down to San Diego. Why this splurge, you ask? As we promise...

Small Thoughts: March 2013

Wednesday, March 20, 2013. Feeling like a hermit crab. As some of you may know, Will and I are in the process of purchasing a new home over here in Las Vegas. The loan approval process is always extremely tedious and even the slightest delay or lack of information can send the entire thing into a bottomless pit of underwriters. This is what I wrote to them. It's not completely finalized yet because the builders just applied for a City Permit to build the home - it's a dirt lot right now. After the bu...

Tuesday, July 31, 2012. Two heads are better than? So, we busted out the tripod at home and took some hi-resolution pictures of ourselves to submit to the caricature artist who will be at our wedding. I kiiiind of noticed this before but it wasn't really until we took these like passport-style photos of only/mostly our heads that I realized. mine is like 2 sizes bigger than Will's! His head looks like a small to mid-sized spaghetti squash while mine looks like a mid to large honeydew melon! I think I wil...

Small Thoughts: Cake, Pain, and Critters
http://alviepanini.blogspot.com/2014/04/cake-pain-and-critters.html
Saturday, April 12, 2014. Cake, Pain, and Critters. Yesterday was such a wonderful day at work because my Lead and Supervisor treated me and a teammate to the Main Street Casino Station Buffet. To celebrate our 100% WOW Call. I'm very happy I got one in March because I got to include it in my Zappos resume for the specialty team I applied for. I just did a written test for that position and I'm waiting to hear back on a possible interview. * fingers crossed. I always answer "Yes! We were SO SURPRISED.

Friday, February 15, 2013. So, just when I thought free lunch and beverages were like amaaaaaazing. I got this crazy memo in my email: Hyundai W. Sahara has come to an agreement to offer EMPLOYEE PRICING to all Zappos employees as well as their friends and family. And then just when I thought that memo was craaaaaaazy. My sanity got served again like two hours later! Zappos.com Employees can now buy a car easier than ever before at Henderson Nissan with PICK and PULL PRICING! Back to the lunch and bevera...

Friday, November 30, 2012. Jimmy Got A Job At Google. I am still up and completely wired but in a very good way. Tomorrow is my long awaited Honeymoon to Atlantis in the Bahamas! Since I can't sleep and I don't particularly feel this situation warrants any medication. I figured that I would leave a parting post to get you guys through my radio-silence. The office is in HENDERSON, NEVADA. Which means come mid/late January, I will be making my transition to become a member of the Silver State. 7 Build Posi...

Tuesday, April 29, 2014. A Dark Red Tale. For over a year now, my writing has been on hold. for those of you who didn't know, I was in the midst of beginning a science fiction novel. My cast of characters are all still left standing in a stuffy living room next to an unfortunate gentleman resting on an oversized couch. Hard as I tried, I couldn't pick it back up again. I'd lost my stride. Was it the feng shui? Was it Golden Girls? Turns out, my muse is Dawn! Be warned, this one is dark and unsavory.

Wednesday, January 30, 2013. I want to remind all my avid readers (all 5 of you) to please, please, please make sure to check your electronics/appliances before leaving the store. I purchased a Cool/Warm Mist Ultrasonic Humidifier. Really. who does that. Anyway, we went the Bed Bath and Beyond nearest to where I'm staying but they didn't have it in stock, so then we drove about 15 miles out of the way to get a brand new one. Was it worth it? It's cute and small and fuzzy. since I don't have either of...
