The work week was really weird. I expected it to be relatively quiet - post holiday weekend, post-golive (which was very smooth), and the upcoming holidays - things tend to slow down substantially in December.  NOPE!  Seems like everything crawled out of the woodwork - things that got postponed for the big project reared up immediately, all wanting ( Read more... )

Miss K and I went out to play and Christmas-shop yesterday, which was fun. She was equally split between choosing things for others and showing me what things SHE might like (with the subtlety of a brick). Girl cracks me up ( Read more... )

Yesterday was full of so many good things, I went to bed beaming.

About a month ago, Michael and I went to the RenFest and saw The Mud Show - a troupe of complete loonies who do "theater in the ground". Very muddy, very rowdy, lots of audience participation and shouting. I LOVE the shouting parts :) *halo. One of the guys announced that he was ( Read more... )

I messaged folks that the biopsy results came back good. No malignancy ( Read more... )

When I interviewed here in 1984, I was barely 21 and had no real work experience. I was trying to get out of Huntington, WV and found an ad in a newspaper for a FORTRAN '77 programmer with some statistical background. OMGSQUEE! PERFECT. I was going to be in Cincinnati for another job interview (which turned out to be unholy-boring) and called ( Read more... )

Andrew called me "Squidgy Bottom!"

:P brat.

Now that I can watch things at real speed, no jerky halting, do you know what I watched first? My pal adriaanse's band performing "Kus Me" ... it's in Dutch, not sure of most of the words, but ... that's my Tal on guitar!! *squee!

Via the music world it's fairly inevitable that I'll bump into bachisdead, gypsy_teacher, jtsworld, katytowell, pootrootbeer, and trocadero and kevbo_, which would be a real treat :)

I like meeting folks face to face - so if I wander into your town, or you make it near Cincinnati, drop a line :)

Which LJ Friend lives closest to you? I believe ( Read more... )

aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh
Having an ABsolutely lovely, relaxing time.  We hooked up with S&B and spent the day together.  The girls are like little peas in a pod - singing, dancing, carrying their notebooks and drawing/writing notes... they decided they would be sisters today :)  I giggled and thought of me and Judy telling people we're twins - though we ( Read more... )

Last night's concert was ADORABLE. I took oodles of pics which I haven't uploaded yet.  I was trying a new setting on the camera (new to me, naturally, it's been there since I got it.. NYUCK NYUCK) and I hope it was the right one!  I even made a mini-video of the Furry Squirrel song - oh my Bob it was adorable.  The Kiddo was right in the middle, ( Read more... )
