I just got off the phone with a colleague with some questions/concerns regarding a project that I'm working on.  I heard a delivery guy drop off a package and went to the door.  I expected it was DH's medical supplies because I haven't ordered anything and there isn't any event that I'm expecting a gift for ( Read more... )

Harry Potter VII is available for pre-order!  Although I think I'll pay full price at my local bookstore.....

I'm having a relatively good day.  There was an issue this morning regarding a project that I'm supposed to be leading and someone changing some of the layout without discussing those changes, but it's been resolved.  Unfortunately, I was frustrated and that came out during our discussions and I needed some "chill out" time following the discussion ( Read more... )

I only had to work one hour from home today. I'm not sure where all those hours came from, but I'll take them ( Read more... )

Book club last night was very interesting. The group discussed Lorna Landvik's Angry Housewives Eating Bon Bons. I had read it for a previous book club, but I didn't mind re-reading it to be able to discuss it. Like all of Landvik's books, it's set in Minnesota. This book spans thirty years of a neighborhood book club. One of the comments last ( Read more... )

I just finished Ahab's Wife by Sena Jeter Naslund for book club tomorrow night.  It kept me interested--even though I'm not into sea stories.  The main character is the wife of Captain Ahab of Moby Dick.  It starts with a very interesting sentence, "Ahab was neither my first husband nor my last...".  Apparently, the author had that thought pop into ( Read more... )
