Feel like I should use this more though most people are migrating to tumblr and twitter.

I'm reading this good book called Land of the Invisible Women. It's about a female Muslim, Western trained doctor and her time working in an ICU in Saudi Arabia.

Today I went to get coffee with a coworker. She observed that I'm normally not a coffee drinker ( ( Read more... )

The situation from my last entry has mostly resolved itself. We now do this polite cordial coworker dance where we pretend like nothing has changed even though he has been avoiding me like the plague and I'm ok with that.

Made my annual post Easter candy sweep. 50% off and yet somehow I managed to spend $24 in Easter candy. Sometimes I scare myself ( Read more... )

Wow, it's been a while since I've updated. Nothing all that exciting has been happening...

Went to a strawberry festival today. It wasn't that hot and I put on sunscreen but I still managed to get burned. :(

Finally did my taxes. I don't know why I procrastinate like I do; I always get a federal refund and this year it's a substantial amount. And for once I didn't owe the state anything. Usually I have to pay a couple hundred bucks. Must be good and put the refund money into savings rather than go nuts at IKEA, though I really need a shoe rack. ( Read more... )

Knowing I like to try "interesting" foods and that I've gone on and on about wanting to try vegemite, my friend who went to the UK a few weeks ago brought back this:

I'm not one for holidays but I do like food. St Patrick's day to me only means this:
