Life is such a sweet insanity.

I love life and people. This is a place where I can write down what's happening, what I'm thinking, what I'm seeing and what I'm feeling. After all, life is just one blog entry after another.

Well already I'm into my next adventure with Linux. I installed RedHat 8.0 this evening, but this time I was smart about it and made my computer "dual boot". I can go into Windows XP or RedHat 8.0 when I boot up the computer. Much more convenient this way. At least now I can try it out before wiping out the Windows system and avoid a reinstall. I should try the same thing at work.

Earl and I got ourselves into the holiday spirit a little bit this evening by watching "White Christmas" on DVD. What a charming movie. I hadn't seen it in a couple of years and I must admit that I enjoyed it very much. It makes me realize how fast paced the world is these days - people enjoyed each other much more back then, and took their time to relax. I need to do more of that.

I've been fighting off the sniffles desperately and I've been hinging on a losing battle today. I ended up going to work very early because of personnel issues, came home and took a nap, went back to work to do my regular stuff and then came home early and slept until Earl got home. We had a wonderful vegetarian supper this evening too. Earl's helping out with my healthy lifestyle best he can. I'm glad that he's supportive.

The holiday season officially starts on Sunday for us with Thanksgiving dinner with my Mom. Then it's off to Philly for the actual holiday with Earl's family, and back on Saturday for another dinner on the following Sunday with my dad. Whew! I am determined to make the holidays mean something this year and I am determined to enjoy them. Now I don't mean to sound like I'm going to be a bastard about it and everyone is going to be happy if it kills them. I just want to feel the true spirit of the season and not get caught up in the commercialism of it all.

Can I tell you that I am getting quite sick of the banking industry? We've been using a locally owned bank here since we've been together, but now they're being gobbled up by some corporate entity and now we're stuck with it. Time to look for a new bank.
