I have been pondering this for about a week now after reading this rant by one of my more conservative blog friends, Calvin. Her issue was personal responsibility & the topic of bailing out homeowners in this mortgage crisis which I completely understand. At least Calvin did include the mortgage lenders in her rant. I've... Continue Reading →
Sunday night TV
I know, other than American Idol I am not much of a tv watcher, right? So why am I writing about it? Because there is something just perfect about vegging out in front of the TV on Sunday night. End of the week. Weekend probably kicked your butt even if it amounted to tons of... Continue Reading →
The songs of your life
I got this idea while writing a comment on a post by Dee, so if the first part of these seems familiar you know why. Whether you are totally into music, a musician yourself, a songwriter, or someone with no special connection to music other than you simply listen to it - I know you... Continue Reading →
Still breathing
Somehow. 720 lines, 720 forms. Piles everywhere. Match up and sort and match again. 5 years and 4000 lost. Trying to make sense of it all. Take notes, try to identify and prioritize and then SIMPLIFY. Why doesn't she just step aside and end this fighting? Need more time. But LL games and board meetings... Continue Reading →
Move 2008 – Week 12 update
Back on the moving track! Aerobics fell short - only 2 pedal workouts totaling 60 mins. However, my full body toning workouts went very well. I used the hula hoop twice and the arms weights three times and the last two I really nailed the routine. I pretty much duplicated the kinds of movements that... Continue Reading →
Music soothes the soul
(Ugh! I just wrote this whole post and WordPress fricking lost it!! Now you get an abbreviated version because I am too tired to do this again) Tonight I was able to escape the week this has been and listen to some beautiful music. If you read Miss Music Nerd, then you know she composed... Continue Reading →
Home again
Made it home safely though not without some drama. Sure enough the grounding of planes impacted our flight last night as the gal from work who was supposed to fly out an hour before me ended up on my flight thanks to hers being canceled. Then my flight was delayed taking off. Amber was very... Continue Reading →
Kindred spirits
I am not sure if it is a good idea to blog while hungover, but it is probably better than blogging while drunk so it is good that I resisted the call of the glowing screen at midnight last night 🙂 Ah vendor parties. Dangerous things I tell ya. Last year in Orlando it was... Continue Reading →
Things I learned today
LSM taught me that you can specific search blogs (vs web or images) when you do a Google search. You just have to click that little "more" button on the right and you get a drop down menu of more options for places to search. Hah! I've been Googling for ages and did not know... Continue Reading →
To do To do To do To do To do*
While sitting at my parent's desk doing their taxes last week, I noticed that my dad keeps a classic To Do list for each day. He has a notepad with a list of numbered lines with the title "To do for today" or something similar. A great organizational tool to be sure. I know SweetPrince... Continue Reading →
