I suppose I should follow through on my promise from yesterday. A semi-real update on life. A quick scan of my journal suggests that I haven't truly updated in over a month. So here's a quick and dirty.

~Holidays were good. Low-key Christmas and New Year's. Had fun at the high school crew's annual holiday party. My Secret Santa got me a Post ( Read more... )

I want to punch J. Why should I have to sit through a meeting where she "uuuuggggggghhhhhhhhs" through every contribution I've obtained? Has she given any thought to the possibility that people slouch away from helping because she's such a bitch? I don't understand how certain down-to-earth, great, genuine people can be friends with such a snob. Oh ( Read more... )

This has an been quite a busy weekend for me. Which is a nice change from being a bum. The problem with bumming around is that the more you do it, the less you actually want to DO things. And, if you're like me, you then fall into an unhappy funk which is unpleasant for everyone ( Read more... )

I should probably go to bed and maintain my whole being caught up on sleep thing. So much for that idea.

Anyway, I'm still running off the high from the event last week. Pretty much all of the post-event stuff is done. I have already started a file for our 2007 event. And I almost feel like starting the whole planning thing all over again. Almost ( Read more... )

Well, the insanity is over. Virtually every night this past week was a late one, but it was worth it. The golf tournament on Thursday was a HUGE success. Though we don't have final numbers, preliminary estimates suggests that the goal was well exceeded. And everyone who attended had a great time and had nothing but positive feedback for the ( Read more... )

So, guess who I talked to today? Adrienne Bousain - Senator Barbara Boxer's (D-CA) Deputy State Director! I feel so important.

Why did Senator Boxer's Deputy State Director call little ole me, you ask? Well, I'll tell you.

Back in December I attended, with Alex, a book reading/signing for Sen. Boxer's book, A Time to Run (really good, by the way ( Read more... )

I <3 Dave Barry.

Last night Alex, Corey, Min, Caleb, and I saw Dave Barry speak at the Biltmore about his new book, Dave Barry's Money Secrets: Life Why is there a Giant Eyeball on the Dollar? As always he was extremely funny. Afterward we all got a copy of the book signed by him. I didn't read it until I got home but he wrote:
For Jessica, a ( Read more... )

Life feels pretty good right now. I'm somewhat swamped at work, but its mostly a good thing. This past week I went with alexi228 to see Senator Barbara Boxer speak on her new novel, A Time to Run. It seems like a good book. I got it and had it signed. Yesterday afternoon I finished my Christmas shopping and picked up my first Christmast gift of the year at ( Read more... )

So for those of you who are "fortunate" enough to read my post-protected melodramatic foolishness may care to know that it's all good. Every so often, I need an emotional release. It's very cathartic. Are the problems and issues gone? No, but I'm calmer, rational, and know that I can do something about most of my issues. A lot of it is a mindset, ( Read more... )

Am verrry tired/sleepy. Have decided that need to care less in some respects to goings on at work. Life = less stressful that way ( Read more... )
