As if Las Vegas and Tahoe weren’t enough, Thursday I hopped on a plane bound for Atlanta for a short vacation. Neither Ivymoon or I had ever been to a Science Fiction / Fantasy convention before, so we figured it was about time. Despite nearly an hour delay for the plane, we managed to get […]
If you’re the type that enjoys cleavage on display, well, there has certainly been a lot of it here at DragonCon….and yesterday Ivymoon and I decided that we should add to the mix. We headed out to the Starbucks we’d found the day before (it was real coffee and the food didn’t involve a buffet […]
I’ve felt sluggish all day today. Back to work after being away from the office for so long - and it was hard to feel motivated. Of course, as I should have expected, I was greeted with another required reorganization of the project plan involving one of Microsoft’s programs that I am convinced was written […]
There is nothing quite like viewing one’s body, clad in figure-hugging spandex, in front of a three-way mirror under fluorescent lighting. What fun. Such enjoyment. Did I mention the fun? In other words, I went swimsuit shopping today. It’s one of the least favorite things for a woman to do - unless of course that […]
I spent Saturday and Sunday down with Richard’s family - including his aunt and uncle and cousins this time - for a combination three-birthday-baptism celebration. There was a tiny black furball to watch spaz all over the room as we played Yahtzee and Richard and his sister proved that apparently it is their family’s game […]
I admit it. I finally succumbed. Yes, I’m a Harry Potter addict. But at least I know I’m not alone.

There is a freedom with being a consultant in that I am sent to different places for varying lengths of time to do different projects. The best part about it is that it’s never the same thing twice. However, this flexibility comes with a certain price. As a consultant, I am always an outsider. In […]
It’s always nice to have a weekend where you can just relax, sleep late, and do nothing. This past weekend was not one of them. Not by any stretch of the imagination. Not, mind you, that I am complaining, because after all, it started Friday night with sushi and then a movie. The X-Men, to […]
It is early morning as I write this and I am bleary from lack of sleep. I know that both my brother-in-law and I need sleep, desperately, but the presence of a toddler and a six-month-old in this little rented cottage will prevent us from getting any more than a few hours in what is […]
How do I describe what I saw last night? There is no way to adequately put into words watching a grown man climb into a six-foot tall bubble-gum pink balloon to the tune of Also Sprach Zarathustra, and then proceed to bounce it around the stage to refrains from The Nutcracker. Words do not give […]
