I think my favorite is SNOMG. But seriously, looks pretty bad outside now. Visibility is pretty low, there's thundersnow, flickering lights. It's awesome. I got home without problems on the Brown Line, walked over and picked up Lucy and walked her back. No problem at 5:15pm. I'm guessing it would have been impossible now. Hoping it'll be at least walkable tomorrow, when I try and get to work tomorrow. Figured I'd show up tomorrow. Got some stuff to do. Started watching Greek on Netflix. It's pretty fun. Also I'm done with buying Apple products for this purchasing cycle. Hoping they all last for a couple years at least, and that Apple doesn't release some other new product that I need to have. Also, getting further along in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, and well, now that I've gotten through some rough parts, can't say I really want to watch the movie anymore. Hoping there's some redeeming qualities later on.

Really using weekends to unwind after hectic weeks of work. Still do some more work, occasionally, at home at night and on the weekends. Wondering if there's any way I can work more efficiently? Besides cloning myself. Got more snow this weekend. Amusing to see Sunday morning. Finished The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Not sure how I feel about it. Started slow, then definitely picked up after some disturbing parts, then got more disturbing with the page turning, and then seemed to neatly wrap things up, almost. Odd. But good that I'm still thinking about it, and already moving on to the second book. After I finish them up, I'll watch the movies. Also plowed through a lot of Greek. Amusing show. Enjoy the pop culture self references. It's a nice mental getaway. Lucy's good. She's got a doctor's appointment on Tuesday, 9 month checkup. Don't think I'll be able to make it. But she's doing well. Apparently had an allergic reaction at my mom's place to some food. Thinking it might be egg, but not sure. She can definitely scoot around, and occasionally can get her to stand by herself for a second or two. Very cool. I'm definitely slipping on the photo/posting on her and my websites.

Over a week since the last post. Seriously slacking, at least in terms of my personal online experience. Falling behind a couple days in Google Reader through Reeder, and likewise in Twitter through Twitteriffic. Not to mention lack of updates both on Daily Dose and Memex. The only thing I'm mostly keeping up with? Foursquare. At least I know where I've been, but not necessarily what I ate. So what's new? I'd normally check the current events to see what I've been up to, but I haven't updated that.  So it's like a lost week or two. So, figure I'll just summarize: eat, work, work some more, sleep. Baby's been sick, congested, so she's been sleeping on one of us most of the last week. We even took shifts. I ended up sleeping on the recliner in Lucy's room a couple nights. And guess what, now I'm sick. Turned 34. Went to Girl and the Goat. Disappointed. Maybe we just ordered the wrong things, but had 5 of the 39 items on the menu, and only 1 was outstanding (the lamb sausage calamari)? Hoped for more with the braised lamb shank. Next time we're just going back to The Publican. Got my driver's license renewed, picked up a couple copies of Lucy's birth certificate. Oh, got a new washer/dryer delivered and installed last weekend. Snow's almost all gone. Winter's ending, or fake ending. Kind of sad with all the dirty mounds of snow and slush. Happy birthday to my dad today. Oh, and the MegaMillions numbers from Tuesday had 17-18-24 as three of the numbers. Fitting. Gotta get back on the posting horse.

Ok, let's make this daily again. Well, business day daily. Saturday went out, up to Old Orchard, had lunch at The Bagel - Restaurant and Deli, stopped off at Macy's, then over to Babies R' Us, well, I dropped off Tracy there then drove around for an hour for Lucy's nap. Saw some pretty nice houses in Park Ridge around the Country Club. Like Frontgate nice houses. Caught up on Glee and How I Met Your Mother. Lucy got back on her overnight sleep schedule. Not so much on the nap schedule though. Spent the rainy Sunday indoors. Didn't even change out of my pajamas. Watched The Karate Kid (2010 via Netflix, annoyingly, with a lot of pauses. Work today was one of those Mondays, crazy busy with lots of stuff going on. Commute time was nice though, since it's President's Day. Ended up watching The Chicago Code finally, and definitely like the Chicago filmed aspect of it all.

So, writing every day? Run out of things to write about. Slippery out last night. Snow this morning. Looked pretty. Ended up covering up Lucy's weather shield on the way over to Grandma's. Didn't realize that until I got inside. Busy busy busy at work, and hard to think that I'm going on vacation next week. Crazy. Stayed up way too late again last night. Starting to use Sparrow and Twitteriffic, split up via Divvy on each half of the screen. Only problem is that I have to use Mail.app to get work email. Was tempted briefly to get Office for Mac 2011 because it comes with Outlook. But eh, no real need. Going to try and take and post more photos of Lucy. My organization methods in Aperture went out the window, so it's now just going through an upload, finding the ones I like, and posting them.

Ugh, missed a work day. Work's easing up a little bit, but it'll still be nice to get away on vacation next week. Stayed up way too late though a couple nights ago, finishing up The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest. I'll watch the movies, but I'm not sure how that trilogy is going to translate to screen. I guess I could even watch it via my Amazon Prime account, which started offering some streaming video. Also started up reading Harry Potter from the start again. Figured I needed something lighter, at least for a while. Apple had some announcements today. No regrets for my recent purchases. Well, just wishing they all had Thunderbolt. Not a very good name, but I think it's pretty cool. Maybe in another 5 years when I replace all the computers again, they'll all just have 1 Thunderbolt port. Bought FaceTime, and used it to great my brother a happy birthday, and Al and Nicole also got to see Lucy So that was cool. Really actually looking forward to Mac OS X Lion. I like the things they're bringing to the desktop from the mobile space. Definitely turning computing into appliances. I like it.
