Hope in Rejection
A day + late, shame on me. Knowing my schedule was going to be bad this week, I had this post *mostly* written out by Thursday, but my organization’s board meeting on Thursday kept me out late, and then I had to deal with a dead cat and having to tell my child about said […]
Hannibal Says
“Quid pro quo, Clarice–comment on my blog, I’ll comment on yours.” Doesn’t social media feel this way sometimes? Someone has just left a comment on your blog; a new person has just signed on as a follower–what next? Well, the way a lot of people see it, you should just jump on over to their […]
And that’s about all there is to say right now.
Weekend Update
The problem with taking time off of work is having to go back when it’s over. Out of the last two weeks I’ve spent a whopping total of 4 days in the office, and now, like the kids heading back to school after a 2-week Christmas holiday, I’m facing the prospects of a fairly long […]
Ringing In The New
I remember my first New Year’s Eve party. Rather, I remember the idea of it more than the actual event. I was in either ninth or tenth grade and a friend of mine had a bunch of us over for a party, and it was a sleepover, too. There were no parents that I remember, […]
Back In Business
Here I sit, early in the morning trying to bang out a post before work. It’s been a full week since I’ve been on the job, though I did briefly check in on my work e-mail on Friday. I like my job, but it’s sure been nice to be home. Also nice is the fact […]
Happy Boxing Day
On Christmas Eve, somewhere between putting tinsel on the tree (this was my major, last-minute shopping run for the year) and baking a cheesecake for Christmas dessert, we hooked up the VCR–remember those, kids? We still have one, and it still kind of works!–and watched a couple of holiday classics, including A Christmas Story. I […]
The tree is up, though not fully-decorated. Presents are arriving, soon to be wrapped. Now all we need is the food for the feast–and maybe some fresh snow to cover up the old stuff, make it look a little nicer. Thank you all for coming by and reading my mental dribblings, and for commenting on […]
Ranting on The Interview
I am not happy today. Oh, life is fine. The Catbird had two concerts this week, one for her choir, one for the jazz vocal group, that we attended and enjoyed. We had the organization holiday party, we Skyped with the Magpie, ordered a bunch of Christmas gifts–all that is fine. Though progress has slowed […]
Christmas Preparedness, and Music!
Well, well, well, we are just a week and a half away from Christmas and…I am totally not ready for it. I did spend about ten minutes moving some stuff out of the living room yesterday so that we can (eventually) put up a tree and decorate. Because we are ‘live (or, as my brother […]
