Show Me Your To Do List

I’m totally not a Type A person. As if I actually needed to say it — there’s probably a giant tattoo on my forehead that announces it to everyone I ever meet. Disorganization oozes from my pores. That said, I *do* like small amounts of organization. So I’ve been trying to perfect my To Do [...]

The Most Awsomest

Have I ever mentioned how completely amazing my husband is? He is the most awsomest. And not just because he loves me. This morning he brought me an iced coffee and a breakfast sandwich while I was stuck in line at the DMV just down the road from his office. It took two hours even [...]

The Long and Short of It

In early July I got my hair cut at Wal-Mart. A couple inches shorter, a few more layers. And while it was what I asked for, it wasn’t really want I wanted. I had trouble taming it and keeping it from looking shabby, even when I put in extra effort. When I looked at pictures [...]

Another Day Older

A very happy birthday to Jon, the best husband I could ever ask for.

Temptation

Earlier this month I promised myself that I wouldn’t buy any clothes or shoes or crafty things until September. I bought a t-shirt while I was in Portland and a camisole yesterday, but the shirt was more of a souvenir (from Bridgeport Brewing) and the camisole was absolutely necessary to keep my underthings from showing [...]

Give Me Caffeine

I think I’m going to need a few more coffees before the day is over. My to do list is spilling onto it’s second page and I’m not even half-way through writing it. And today is my phone day. Tomorrow too. I have a sneaking suspicion that someone somewhere is stealing hours from my day [...]

Baby Fever

One of my coworkers is nearing the end of her pregnancy and I think there are more than a few people in the office catching baby fever. I’m trying to deny that I have it, using the cover that I’m looking at adorable baby clothes for Amy’s wee muffin, but that can only float for [...]

Forget About It

Given how important the Internet has been to me (and in many ways still is), I’m surprised that there are days when I don’t even think about my web site or writing in my online journal. Days and days. Weeks even. And then all of a sudden I’ll remember that I want a record of [...]

Self-Cleaning Restrooms

Bottles of all-purpose cleaner were added to each stall of the ladies room this afternoon. So we can clean up after each other. While I was on vacation, it seems the women in our office had a little meeting about the troubles in the ladies room. Someone using the facilities had trouble with their aim [...]

The Beast

One of the enhancements I requested in the development tracking software at work is number 666. I’m convinced this is a sign of some sort. Of what, I’m not sure, but it has to signify something. Even if it’s that we have an awful lot of bugs.
