but I lit the pilot light tonight on the furnace! Ok, so I know that’s really mundane and the norm for some folks, but not this chickie who is scared of most everything. While I’m a wiz with a gas oven pilot light, I’m a little terrified of a big, huge furnace and have never had to do it. But, I read the instructions (I’m one of those people), called a few people for moral support, held my breath and said my last prayer (just in case). And guess what? It was nothing! All that worry for no reason. Well, 5 minutes of worry, but still…5 minutes I’ll never get back. 🙂 And it’s warmer already in here. It’s been quite cold and getting down to 40 at night and we’ve just been freezing. You’ll be glad to know we’re not rocket scientists or anything.

Bring on the cold, DC!

I was watching The Today Show this morning and they had a correspondent in Scranton, NJ for the ‘Office’ convention. The NBC show ‘The Office’ is set in Scranton and the town was holding a convention in its honor. They had some of the actors from the show there and I had no idea that Creed was one of the original members of the band The Grass Roots (and plays himself on the show). They sang “Midnight Confessions,” “Sooner or Later” and others. Actually, I knew a lot more of their songs than I realized. Scary, huh? You can hear some of their tunes here. How many do you recognize?

I finally got a job here in DC. I’ll be working at the Executive Office of the President training agency employees on the budget software. I start tomorrow.

I also took a zillion more pictures at this past weekend’s Turkish Festival. I’ll post those in a bit.

Happy Wednesday!

The high temperature went from 91 to 64 in two days. God Bless Mother Earth!

I’ve got two words for you:
