I just remembered that I once had a blog that was updated more than once a month. Oh well, I guess after blogging for 7 or 8 years, I do run out of interesting things to write about. My life has been pretty good. I think I’m doing well at my new position. It has a lot more hours (weekend/late night work), so hopefully my manager takes note on how hard I work even though I might not have the technical skills that most of my team members have. I wrote my first test case just a month ago. It’s really interesting to see my company’s products through the eyes of the product team, developers and my own team. It’s kind of like having a backstage pass to a concert.

Last weekend, my family finally made it to Massachusetts to see my Cousin Jane, her husband Chris and her parents. My sisters and I were given the grand tour of her new house. I love the new house. It’s so new. Oh and most importantly, it gave me a workout going from my room to the kitchen. It was great! Chris and Jane got Rockband 2 since my last visit. We played all weekend. I got up to the Medium level for bass guitar. I was quite impressed. My little sister, Jessica, turned out to be an awesome drummer. I believe she tried the Medium level on our last song. We managed to fail the song as a band the first time, but we persevered the second time around. Yay!

Oh, I filed my taxes on January 30th. I got my Federal tax refund direct deposited to my ING on February 6th even though it was supposed to be deposited on February 13th. With this new found money (it was my money all along, I know), I would like to purchase a phone with an actual QWERTY keyboard. I don’t want any touchscreen phones. I don’t care how “cool” they are. Or how “you’ll get used to the touchscreen keyboard”. I was looking into the Blackberry Bold or the Nokia E71. Any thoughts? Currently, the Nokia E71 is not supported by AT&T, but is available on online retailers such as Amazon and Newegg.com for about $330. This is cheaper than the Bold. I’ll be visiting the Nokia store in NYC this weekend with the boyfriend to see if the E71 is as great as the reviews say.

I’m off to blow my nose. I love how my nose hurts when I use a tissue. LOVE MY COLD!
