If only this WAS the end

It has been a hell of a week, sports fans.
I’d love to be able to say TGIF and say that this was the "end" of the week. But in an effort in self-preservation I gave myself a pass on a couple of deadlines today. Four deadlines to be precise.
And that only means that I [...]

keeping up? taking care? Who are you kidding?

I’m giving up on the attempt to keep up with taking care of everyone and everything.
That might even mean me.

What “counts” and what doesn’t?

And who decides?
Today, from 9:30 until about 1:00 I helpe ZH&AH move. Out of a 2nd floor walk-up into a 3rd floor walk-up. Now, I’m short and a girl (with not much upper body strength) so I didn’t help carry the really big heavy stuff. That means I took a LOT of trips with small [...]

Saturday Photo Scavenger: Bottle

I wish I had a picture of the “bottle neck” that certain people at work can be. But instead, I have a picture of the bottle that sort of thing pushes me to:

I’m dealing with a migraine that won’t bloom and won’t go away while I’m washing and priming walls today. I’m taking it [...]

That time of the year

I’m feeling a little blue this weekend. Partly because last week was so grueling and I didn’t get to the end of it feeling like I’d won the race at all. In fact, I missed a deadline for one of my "best" internal customers because I was so busy helping out the rest of the [...]

Grateful a Trois

HEY! It’s a series. Who knew?
Anyway, here’s some stuff that made me feel good this week. As usual, no particular order.

I got to sit and watch the Tony awards. Without much interruption. I made myself a nice florentine omlette (steamed spinach, goat cheese, green garlic, eggs…all grown within 150 miles of me) and poured a [...]

Getting better about asking

Well, I don’t know if this is actually better, but at least it’s more proactive than not doing anything.
Sent this email out tonight to about a dozen folks. We’ll see.

RE: Extreme Makeover: Garage Edition
OK friends, I find this a bit harder to do than it should be, but I need to ask for some help.
Last [...]

I Passed!

That’s right, ya’ll. I PASSED my motorcycle skills test and now HAVE my motorcycle endorsement! Woot!
It was a blast to find out that I can actually do it. I can drive a motorcycle.
That is about three-hundred degrees of empowering. Just saying.
The following is one of those “ToDo List” posts. You have been warned.
Now, that [...]

Donkey in a well

I got the following story in an email. It seems to be one of those usually sappy sentimental stories about how to live or love Jesus and everything will be sunshine and lollipops or some such clap-trap.
But you know me, right? So, read to the end, mmkay?
*************************
One day a farmer’s donkey fell down into a [...]

Squee!

I’ve done something just for me. I didn’t wait until I’d lost the weight or I found the perfect companion. It’s even better than the motorcycle class (coming up in just a few more weeks!!!!) and the membership to the YWCA (that I’m actually using!!!) but both of those will totally come in handy for [...]
