My first post in ages. I have others sitting in the computer at home awaiting editing and clarity. They may not be the same thing. But today I am sitting in a conference room, on a lunch break, debating about which toy I prefer to play with. My new bluetooth keyboard for my iPad2 or my new iPhone 4S. Either way, I'm a very excited camper ( Read more... )

The weekend turned out to be a good one. It felt long, which is always nice. I mostly focused on my to-dos. I deliberately put items like read and stitch on the list so I could do them and not feel guilty. There were definitely projects I put off. But overall, I was pleased ( Read more... )

I debated about posting. The daily minutiae of my life is boring even to me. This was one of those weekends where I had big plans and little success. Or rather, I did plenty of things that were on my list and I should feel excited about it but most of them involved spending money. On the plus side, once my Lands End orders arrive, I will have ( Read more... )

It turned out to be a decent weekend, despite the fact that I was at the office at 10 am and will be returning there in a mere 10.5 hours. Yes, it is practically past my bedtime ( Read more... )

I miss Chip. I haven't seen him in more than 15 years but I miss him. If he were here and I weren't, he'd be missing me, too. You see, despite the headphones and iPod, I'm listening to all the guys discuss sports. It brings me back to the male dominated world of Roxbury Latin School and how all lunches revolved around school sports. But then there ( Read more... )

It’s September. End of excuses for not exercising. I always look at September as the start of the new year. It’s both a school thing and a Jewish thing, since the new year is in the autumn. It falls at the end of September this year, but I hate to let facts spoil a good idea ( Read more... )

I didn't work today. I needed to. But I took the easy way out. I read. I stitched. I watched more movies I didn't like. I ate. It was what I wanted. But not very smart ( Read more... )

It's that time again. The list redux. The good news is that I did (or will before I go to bed) complete all 5 items from last Sunday's list. I still have to wordsmith the recommendation but it's written. I rewrote my total list midweek and it had 35 to-dos, of which I completed 21. Not bad, if I do say so myself. I also did a bunch of things that ( Read more... )

Yesterday was my last day at GE. I cannot believe that it's over. It was a great 22 months. I got in early because I had a ton of work that had to be completed before I could go. I got out of there at 4. Though I probably spent an hour of that, maybe even two, saying good bye to people. And my friend Christina was back from her honeymoon so I ( Read more... )

I wrote the below post yesterday, fully intending to post it but when I got home (early, because I left work early) I was tired. Not only was I tired but I got cold. Really cold. Bone-chilling cold. I layered blankets on my bed, socks on my feet, I curled up in a little ball and I was still freezing. So I went to bed at 8:30. And slept. Not a bad ( Read more... )
