Weekend Getaway

I'm going up to Maryland to visit my friend Laura this weekend. In fact, my flight leaves in approximately 3 hours. :) apparently it's 32 degrees and snowing there today. yikes! i guess that's not really that bad, but to this florida girl it sounds scary! i'm taking like 4 jackets and i plan on wearing them all at the same time haha. hopefully when i get back i'll have some fun pictures to post.

blue screen of death

so my computer decided to crap out today. it was freezing up and taking forever to do things, so i thought i'd restart it and maybe that would help, ya know, it seemed like a good idea at the time. well in the process of restarting it suddenly went to a blue page that said FATAL SYSTEM ERROR. THIS SYSTEM IS SHUT DOWN. Whoops. It was pretty intimidating. I had two IT people in my cube looking at it, shaking their heads and saying this is bad. so eventually they decided that the computer needed to be decrypted before they could try to fix it, and apparently this is a process that takes a looooong time. It's been going for about 5 hours now and it's only 52% done. Guess that one won't be fixed til Monday.

In the mean time, they've given me a loner computer, which is great, but there's not much I can do on it. I don't have any of my files or the programs I've been using. So basically I've been catching up on email, and ... well, there's not a whole lot I can do. what a friday...

so i've been thinking some more about what i want to do with this blog. one thing i think i'd like to add is more posts about foods, recipes, etc. I really enjoy some of the food blogs i've seen, so i think it'd be neat to do some of that here. Now I just need to remember to take pictures when I make something interesting. :)

The One Where Leah Gets a Cold

So do you remember the Friends episode where Phoebe gets a cold? It turns her into a really great singer, then she gets over the cold and tries to catch it again so she sing so well again. well that is totally me right now (well, kinda haha). i think i am getting a cold. i think. i'm not totally sure. but i'm getting all stuffed up and i can sing great. in my opinion at least :)

See first James was sick, then he gave it to Darren, and I think I'm next in line. Both of them have gotten pretty sick, to the point of having to take off of work. i really hope i dont get that bad. :-/ but i am pretty stuffy, and i've been coughing, my throat is a little sore... yeah... it's not looking good. but i sure can sing :)
