Unstructured Thoughts - What Are You Thinking Now?

Please read before deciding there's no reason for you to post a reply.

I really don't post as much at message boards as I used to. And there's a reason for that. I get distracted, very easily. I'm just the kind of person with thoughts that often aren't structured. They just happen. For instance, if I'm worried about something, I usually don't want to discuss it but I'd like to just state it. Black and white, clear as crystal, once and have done with it. Unless of course someone else could or has been able to relate to that thought and wants to add to it. I don't want to start a dozen short posts about abstract thoughts just because when I have them I want to discuss them very much. It would be more sensible to, in a sense, have a graveyard for them where I could bury them as they arise.

This simply would eliminate worthless topics which no one would reply to and there's no worry about this topic getting off-topic because that's how it starts. It's not about establishing a pattern of off-topic topics. But for instance... I'm getting a headache right now, so I'd like to elaborate more on this post later on. But I wanted to try and create a post for random thoughts anyone were to have. In case the person having them really felt like sharing them.

I don't have one right now, but I could spill my guts about a lot of little things to other people that mean something to me.

it was 48 degrees in the Wonder WoManatee Cave of Solitude last night (aka: hubby's man cave in the basement I took over)...I've had a fan upstairs, blowing warm air from the kitchen down into the basement all day...let's hope it's at least 53! Good thing I have that heated mattress pad....

One of my sisters lives in Michigan and she sent out a text last night that said "SNOW DAY! SNOW DAY! SNOW DAY!". Apparently the school system where she teaches wisely decided that the combination of very low temperatures and wind chill justified having everyone stay home and warm today.

No design specs and unrealistic sprint cycle makes Haunti go crazy
Welcome to my world...
Sometimes I think the clients just make up the specs as they go along. Can't get some of them to commit to hard specs, but they don't hesitate to reject an entire lot of devices because they saw something on one of them that they maybe think they kinda-sorta don't like. But put it in the specs? No way.
And don't get me started on their material selection idiocy. :eek:

Anyone who thinks wolf spiders are non-aggressive never had one leap off a basement wall in an effort to snag a person carrying a basket full of laundry down the stairs. I'm speaking from personal experience on this one:eek:
There should be an alert on posts like that for those of us who are a bit spider challenged Roxy!!!

I think it's almost cold enough to snow here this weekend. Not sure where Summer went but it's taken a leave of absence. About to turn on the electric blanket so at least the bed is warm. I was almost tempted to light the fire tonight. It's January people - January in Australia is NOT light the fire weather. What the!

Spent most of today washing the seat covers and sashes that we used for our work Christmas function. Now for the ironing........... 150 chair sashes to iron. Joy.....

I almost forgot to share the pictures of our work Christmas Party that Shane and I did all the decorating for. It has always been a fairly plain event, a meal, a few drinks and then off home for the holidays. This year I wanted it to be a special event, so I decorated the chairs & tables with covers, sashes and some table centres. We also set up a photo booth and I bought and handmade some props. We took lots of photos and everyone was really getting into the spirit of it. The party was for lunch on Christmas Eve and it was a huge success. Given last year they actually had 5 complaints - this year I got well over 20 emails, calls and visits to say how much people enjoyed the event. Usually by 2pm at least 3/4 of the people have left, but this time at 3pm I would say maybe 1/10 had left and the rest were sitting around, chatting and laughing. It was wonderful and I was just so pleased to see people enjoying it. Not everyone gets to have a nice Christmas experience and all I could think about was even if for one person this event was their special Christmas experience then it was well worth all the effort.

I hope you like the photos.

Aww, so cute! My cats would not be so tolerant if Jack and Fly tried to do that. When Fly was younger, she did "herd" the cats.

Maree, your pictures are great! You created a fun, festive atmosphere. The photo booth area looks like it was a hit.
