Rob asked a question last night...

...and I said YES!

Las Vegas

Rob and I went to Vegas last weekend. We had a blast gambling away our money. I have no pictures of any of this. But before we left we took a three hour horseback ride through El Dorado Canyon. We got to see all of the gold mines. And some big horn sheep. So for my Daddy and all the hunters...these pics are for you.

January

Wow, already it's the end of January. Where did the month go. It's no good when the year is already flying by. Well, I made it back from Christmas and had a nice quiet easy week at work and then everything wen nuts. The schedule at work is getting shifted a lot right now. The show is undergoing some big changes, and with teh re-writes, and the artists working like crazy, the episodes we were supposed to test just weren't ready in tome. So we had to cancel and reschedule, giving ourselves a TRIPLE week.

Generally when we do our research we test one episode at a time over a two day period, and then have several days off to analyze and write the report. Occasionally we will have a Double week, where we test two episodes over two days and then have several days off to write the report. We had our first TRIPLE just before Thanksgiving, testing three episodes over five days and then had ten days off to analyze and write. Last week was number two. We tested three episodes over six days.

Friday - one show,
Monday - cancel due to snow, unfortunatly I didn't get teh message until arriveing at the office at 7am.
Tuesday - two shows (I left after the first to get to the office to start with the data and analysis - this episode had to be presented Tuesday at 3 - so we did in 7 hours what nomaly takes 4-7 days - never again)
Wednesday - one show
Thursday - one show
Friday - one show and a report due

NOw six days off to prep for the next one. Which now that I look at is actually FOUR episodes over seven days... Hmmm it's Wednesday/Thursday off then Monday - Thursday. How am I ever going to rest again.

At least I got to spend last weekend on vacation in Las Vegas with Rob.

So January is coming to a close, and work seems to be all I have accomplished.

I start classes at Hunter College next week. I'll keep you posted.

A Pictoral Look at Christmas

Rob and I started with gifts to each other on the 22nd. Here is me opening my stocking. Rob thoughtfully got me a cookie mix, that unfortunately opened before I took it out. Oops.

Happy New Year!

It is officially 2008. How the last year flew by... The Christmas tree is packed and put away and I am back to work, and waiting on getting my account access renewed, so in the meantime, all I have is internet access.

The holidays are over, and my whirlwind tour of Indiana. After partying it up with the Frazier and Ables families, Rob and I made a stop over in Indianapolis to visit with Sara, Dave, Nick, and Kirsten. Then it was back to New York to attend a wedding.
The rest of my break was spent watching my new seasons of Gilmore Girls, and Grey's Anatomy. The amount of tv I can watch is obscene, but I do multi task, cleaning and making flash cards while I watch.

New Year's Resolution:
1. Don't let problems that aren't mine become mine. I don't have to do everything, I can let others take care of themselves.

Happy 2008!

Almost here...

Four days to go. Here's one of the Monkey.

He LOVES Christmas!

Christmas from Kasey, Rob, and the rabbit
