I couldn’t think of a good title for this. I thought of Happy Birthday, but that would be too misleading. Today is my sister’s birthday. My sister who has now been dead as long as she was alive. She would have been 34 today. It is impossibly hard to imagine what the 34-year-old version of…

ENFP – “Journalist”. Uncanny sense of the motivations of others. Life is an exciting drama. 8.1% of total population. Free Jung Personality Test (similar to Myers-Briggs/MBTI) Once I saw it I recognized that this is the result I always get. Please consider donating to my efforts in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day Walk for the…

The Rufus Wainwright DVD I ordered arrived in the mail today. Yes, I know this is an unhealthy obsession, but I saw a preview of it online and I couldn’t help myself. But, I’ve promised myself that I won’t watch it until I’ve gone for a good walk and written for an hour. Ear ringing…

My ear is still ringing. I’m exhausted even though I went to bed at 10 last night. I have a whole meetingless day ahead of me. Yes, I’m going to the doctor. I literally can’t think with the pain and buzzing. Bleh. The iPod drowns out the ringing and I’ve taken Tylenol. My hope is…

So I missed the candlelight vigil. There were over 300 people signed up to attend, so I didn’t feel too bad. If 100 showed up, it would look like a big deal. I’ve developed a rather horrific earache, so I think I’ll be headed to the doctor tomorrow. I’m planning to go to bed with…

They’re back! The children (and Mr. Geeky) returned last night in time for dinner. After dinner they went to visit friends; the friends came down to visit us; and back and forth. For several hours, five or six children went back and forth between our house and others. Back to normal. Now the reprogramming begins.…

Last night on the way home, I stopped at the fancy schmancy grocery store for take out. The take out at this place is like fine dining. I have done this maybe twice in my now 5 years here. There are many things I don’t like about this place. First, everything is inordinately expensive. Where…

And by office, I mean both my office and Microsoft Office. Before I begin my rant, I’d just like to say that things are looking quite promising for the upcoming year. I’m getting lots of interesting requests for workshops and information on screencasting, podcasting and blogging. Yay! So take this rant as a very minor…

I have one more day to myself. I’m kicking myself for not attending to the writing, but I got back from the walk later than expected and felt exhausted. I’m going to leave earlier this evening so I’ll have time to recover before I have to sit down at the computer. I don’t know how…
