Holiday Week... and all's quiet

Well, it snowed about 3-4 inches last night, and it's going to be at most, 10 degrees out today! Right now, the wind chill's down to about -15. It took a bit more time getting into work today as the roads haven't been plowed yet!

Friday, we had our Holiday Luncheon at work and the food was great. Everyone had a great time and was full!
Friday night, a bunch of us went across the street from the health center to a nice bar for some more celebrating. I ended up giving a few pool lessons, and laughing with some friends from work. All in all it was a great night.

Saturday, I was on the go from 8am till 11pm.
Got up early and met my friend Gary to go to a computer show, where he bought 2 PC's and I bought a nice, high-end 19" LCD Monitor for myself. Gary's having me install everything on the 2 PC's, so he paid me right on the spot for it and that went towards my new monitor. Got home, got the monitor installed and my friend Harry from Georgia came over to work on his website. We worked through the afternoon into the evening with only a break to go out to dinner. Harry finally left just before 11pm, and I was exhausted.

Sunday, went to see mom and dad.. they were getting their new sattelite tv system installed and I think she figured out it's not as easy as she thought. I watched the UCONN Game with my friend Ray who came over, and they won.
After Ray left, I began the configuration of the 2 PC's that Gary bought. They're almost ready, so he can wrap them up for Christmas presents!

So, as you can see, I was busy this weekend.

And now, the news not fit to print!
