Nuggets
I finally saw Wall-E. I hated it, so I won’t discuss it. I have noticed I spend a million more hours in my office now that we don’t have cable. And when I edit, I like to listen to things, like movies I know by heart or shitty TV shows care of Hulu. So, in [...]
David’s Birthday at Cannon Beach
Happy Birthday David
I love you.
Birthdays
I have two birthdays to attend this week. My hubbie’s birthday is on Thursday and my sister’s is on Saturday. I have very special plans for David’s birthday. I will spill the beans later. And we are going up to Tacoma for Alexis’s. It’s going to be a good week. Oh and I am finishing [...]
A good day…
is…. finding that perfect gift that gave me the belly laughs. I can’t wait to give it to her realizing that David and I share a brain sometimes, echoing each other’s thoughts. It feels good to be understood. getting rid of all the highlighted words in my current section of the novel. The next section’s [...]
I’m proud of you
You know who you are and why. I just wanted the world to know.
When I had things to do
Not that I don’t have things to do right now, I do. I could rework my resume for my Monday morning onslaught of the job boards. Or I could clean the bathroom. I should finish these edits, but I think my eyes may bleed soon, and not in that cute, horror-movie kind of way (yes, [...]
Emotional Hangover
I’ve been pretty diligent about working on my novel. There are a lot of changes to be made in this middle section, but I’m quite pleased with my progress. That being said, is any novel truly perfect? Ginny visited our fair city and left on Thursday. I didn’t get to spend as much time with [...]
Taking Stock
Ginny, a friend from Florida, is visiting this week. Actually, she’s on the train to Seattle at the moment, but I have been able to steal a few minutes here and there with her. She’s staying with Amandapants, and it’s been a blast. Having her here made me really take stock of what’s going on [...]
Valentine
Snippets
Anything called a “Masskrug” should not be taken lightly. I had a glass of beer, or more importantly a masskrug of beer, and it hurt me the next day. Widmer’s potato salad is divine. Having Florida friends visit makes me almost want to head east….almost. Being able to pay the rent is a good thing. [...]
Perspective.
This kind of knocks things down a peg. Saw this linked to on Twitter, but I thought I would share.
Root Canals and Old Friends
Before I go on and on about my tooth, let me just say that I think I am WAY fucking behind on getting this novel edited. I planned on working on it for hours today, but I’m a little distracted by my swollen left cheek and my root canal. It has me worried – the [...]
A little squeak
Things are okay, as okay as they can be considering. I try not to watch/obsess over the news of our shittastic economy but it’s hard. Then I am working on editing my novel, and thought about the deleting the entire thing from my computers. But it’s due on Saturday or something and I really need [...]
The Good News
Don’t get too excited. Neither one of us have a job yet, but the universe is nibbling on my resume. I had three possibilities pop up this week. I went to an interview – the job is a Project Coordinator for an Electrical firm. Let’s hope that goes further. A second call came for a [...]
Weekend Wrap Up
Ikea is my bitch. No, really she is. See I can get in and out with an entire bedroom set, kitchen hardware, odds and ends for a house and a chaise in under three hours. Actually, I can do it in less than two, but I had Amanda with me. She wanted help purchasing some [...]
Insert fluffy metaphor
I would like to tell you that all is well in my world, that the hope of a nation has translated into something tangible for me (I’m a selfish bitch, so of course, this is all about me), but it hasn’t. And the time seems to drag when you know that your money is severly [...]
The Coming Week
I’m exhausted, and need to get my ass to bed at a decent hour. I will be rising at 5:00 all week so that I can put in 12 hour days Monday through Wednesday. I leave Thursday night for school. It’s been 6 months and this will be my last term before graduation. Can you [...]
Cleaning House – The Drafts Addition
I have spent every New Year cleaning up the drafts section in WordPress, dumping the incomplete thoughts and half finished blogs in one, very long, post. I neglected to do that last year, and so here they are – the crumbs of the past, incomplete rants and raves, the drafts. They span the time all [...]
Goodbye 2008
The calender year is passing tonight. D and I won’t really be celebrating. I think the week stuck in the house due to the snow storms kind of killed any residual excitement for celebration. Plus, I still have a lot of stuff to take care school wise. But we did buy champagne. I won’t open [...]
