it is a good day to live

October 4th, 2009 · No Comments

When I made the decision to go to a new career/state/domicile, certain things fell by the wayside.
I suspect the last do-nothing day I had was sometime during the start of the year. The last day when I felt like my job was secure, my world wasn’t going to change dramatically anytime soon, and [...]

radio silence

February 21st, 2009 · 1 Comment

I started this post earlier. I ended up killing the original because it was full of wailing and teeth-gnashing, and wallowing isn’t my thing (if I can help it).
There was one thing I liked about it, though. This:
So there’s nothing to say other than that this has been a crap month, and if [...]

in which I’m not terribly modest

July 7th, 2007 · No Comments

Uh, sorry. Been busy. Had to go see Transformers, you see, and still have to tile my bathroom. And…uhhhh….
Really, that’s it. My health is fine, I’m working out, my doctor’s worried about my cholesterol, my trainer’s worried about my love for bread, and my knitting needles are still pointy.
Work has me [...]

lightly caramelized

March 2nd, 2007 · 3 Comments

I did not, in fact, dye my hair pink, though the day after I wrote that post one of my coworkers did. She does not read my blog. I hereforth take this as a sign I’m psychic, and I predict next that you will all send me chocolate and/or cute, rugged single gentlemen [...]

in which skirts are okay

October 13th, 2006 · 1 Comment

My quads are in revolt. The elliptical machine is still doable, but five seconds on the treadmill and I knew I’d probably end up braining myself, so I canceled that and went off to shower. See? I can be smrt.
I spent last night watching the tail end of the 2001-2002 run of [...]

now, better

September 26th, 2006 · 6 Comments

My angst never lasts. Inevitably I snap back to stressed-but-cheerful.
Some encouraging stuff at work…cannot go into details until I know for certain, but it’ll help with my workload and not going insane. Thwew.
Fed up again with not losing weight. Back to eDiets and the gym. I’d have gone this morning, but [...]

things are things

September 1st, 2006 · 1 Comment

If you ever wondered what my melons look like…well, now you know.
Things are things. I sort of remember a time six months ago when I used to have weeks at work when it seemed like I had nothing to do but read webcomics and complain that I didn’t feel “motivated”. Oh, yes, I [...]

hive mind

June 20th, 2006 · 11 Comments

I’m having an allergic reaction to…something. It could be my new comforter. It could be my new soap. It could be my new diet. It could be my face cream. It could be the adjustment to my thyroid medication. My eyelids are puffy and there are tiny welts forming [...]

razzle frazzin’ insomnia

May 2nd, 2006 · 12 Comments

I tried, I really did. I went to bed at a “decent” hour (1 AM), and as soon as my head hit the pillow I fell asleep. I reckon I stayed that way a whole twenty minutes.
Now I’m wide awake. I hate insomnia.
Eric commented tonight that my cussing quotient goes up when [...]

know fun

April 18th, 2006 · 4 Comments

I’m alternating between “wow, that sucks” and “wow, that’s awesome”. For once, I can’t talk about the awesome, and I don’t know how much I want to talk about the suck.
Other than to say I didn’t know Curtis too well, but it’s still a shock to hear he’s gone. If you knew Curtis, [...]
