I’m sick. Still. And I’m getting really sick of being sick, too. It’s been three weeks. I think that’s plenty long enough to put up with snuffling and hacking and sneezing, don’t you? I broke down and went to the doctor two weeks ago, who took my request to ‘make it go away!’ with tolerant […]
My fingers are wrinkled from washing dishes, but I don’t mind. It’s a chore I actually like. This house we live in has a dishwasher, but it’s rarely used because it has this tendency to leave odd streaks on the dishes and I only end up having to wash them again. So we simply use […]
As we wind down the first release of this project and everyone has had a chance to step back and take a deep breath, we’re gearing up for the second.
Or at least in an ideal world, it would be like that. At this point, it’s more that everyone is frantically trying to get release one […]
We got the first real rain of the season yesterday, making driving fun with the mix of rain plus fog yesterday morning. Richard and I have been keeping fingers and toes crossed that the rain would wait a bit longer this year, because as expected, the builder called to let us know that the rain […]
Taking a great stride forward in this whole wedding-planning-thing, my mom and I talked to a seamstress on Sunday. She seems quite nice - very direct and open. She came with an armful of outfits for us to see, and a two-month old little girl with fly-away hair and a very serious stare. Seems grandma […]
I went out to lunch yesterday. I sat in a Burger King and ate my chicken sandwich by myself and stared blankly through the window while I chewed. I didn’t have to talk to anyone, or answer any questions. There was no ringing phone, no ding of urgent email arriving in an inbox, no line […]
I could write about how this week went - the design sessions hastily planned, emails sent barely two days ahead, and the people who were required to rearrange their schedules at a moments’ notice to fly in.
I could write about how in the two sessions I was to be involved in (and, in fact, lead), […]
I’m finally starting to work up some enthusiasm for this whole wedding planning thing. It’s been hard the last few months, considering how much else I’ve had going on, and really, we hadn’t done much (my mom and I) except determine the where and when. Now we have to start doing the ‘what’.
Today, although not […]
Warning. The following is a whine - and a really big one. So if you’re not in the mood, you may as well flip to the next entry, or go check out the progress on our house and come back next time. Consider yourself warned.
I’m not sure how to write this without it coming across […]
I don’t often play these silly political games, but there are times when there is no other option. At work, our team and one other came to a decision that is beneficial to both of us. It would mean a few changes to our processes, and some rough spots to iron out, but the benefits […]
