Once again my computer did not want to login for telework.  It kept telling me that I didn't have an particular extension for Citrix, which had worked several days earlier.  After an hour on the phone with the help desk at work, I had to uninstall and reinstall the same version of Citrix Receiver...again ( Read more... )

...Hello Cupcake makes a samoa cupcake, a la Girl Scout Samoa (or Caramel Coconut) Cookies.  I've pre-ordered some for tomorrow since The Biochemist and Chemist will be in town and he *loves* those cookies ( Read more... )

Somehow when I was figuring out which weekend to visit Pittsburgh for back-to-back games, I forgot that the 14-15th was the opening weekend of Indian Wells and also the weekend when St. Patrick's Day would be celebrated.  Oops ( Read more... )

D:  I was kind of bummed today:  it was the day I was supposed to leave for Paris.  I know the plans were cancelled for a very good and prudent reason, and I love my new house, so it's worth not going right now.  And if I'm frugal I'll be able to go next year.  But I still felt mopey.
