It’s been an interesting week; we’ve had a lot of change happen all at once, mostly on Thursday. First of all, Thursday was my last day at work, at the job I’ve had since we moved back from Maine, the job I had before we moved to Maine, too. It’s the job I’ve had the [...]
I was cleaning all of the personal stuff off the hard drive on my work computer in preparation for my last day, and I came across this picture, which was taken a year ago Saturday. I had a hard time at first remembering why we were on the roof at my building. I think it [...]
Ack. I sat down to write a blog post and my mind is going in about a million different directions. That’s what I get for not posting in a long time, I guess. So for now I’ll just post one thing; I might as well keep it short and get a post out and published [...]
Come September 19, I’m going to have a new boss. She’s short, and has wild hair, and can be temperamental and moody at times. She likes to yell and often gets her hands dirty, but at the same time she likes a laid-back environment where she can just sit and let it all hang out. [...]
Ok, as promised, something more lighthearted than another boring old “what does it all mean” post. People who know me in real life know that I’m not the most graceful person in the world, despite many years of ballet classes. In fact, I’m extremely clumsy and have a tendency to either fall down, run into [...]
Thanks for all the comments and suggestions on my last post. I have really been trying to take it easy and not overdo things, but it’s an ongoing challenge, so we’ll see how it continues. Thankfully a couple of friends are going to come over in the next few days just to help with getting [...]
It’s finally feeling like summer around these parts. We had several weeks of crappy, rainy, windy, wintry weather, which left Brett’s mom (who was visiting at the time) and me shivering and looking outside with confusion and, let’s face it, a small sense of being personally affronted — how could it be early June and [...]
I haven’t talked much about Elanor lately; it’s time I updated a bit! She is growing so fast; she is so much more of a big, interactive baby than she was a couple of months ago. Her five-month birthday was last week. Obviously, she can sit up and likes to reach for everything these days! [...]
Hi! I am still here, just not super-bloggy lately, which is kind of weird considering I feel like I’m tied to my new laptop all day long right now. Most of what I’m doing online is completely unproductive stuff like reading blogs and message boards and visiting I Can Has Cheezburger, instead of doing productive [...]
You see a headline and think, “Why are they talking about mushrooms seizing Beirut neighborhoods?” And then you realize that they’re talking about Shiites, not Shiitakes. Sigh. I’m really tired. I would really like some decent sleep, and soon…but it’s probably too much to hope for. Even a couple of hours of uninterrupted, solitary sleep [...]
