Today is Michael's 41st birthday. I'll be taking him to Havana (Cuban restaurant in Bar Harbor) tonight, and we're off to Portland for the weekend. Love ya much, baby!

Just a quick note here: Cassandra is now going to NYC to pick up Shelan from her US tour with the Slideshow Family Players...Shelan is HOSTING the gig. My god. I knew her when. She better get me Duran Duran autographs one day.

So Cass needed a hotel room in NYC...I tried to research, got carried away. Little sis Corri came through with the ( Read more... )

...is the first book in our library. It lists no editor. Hmm.

I got this book when I was in middle school. My Uncle Sig (my father's uncle, my grandfather's brother) gave it to me. He gave my two sisters and I books for the holidays, my favorite gift. I got this, Cassandra got a book on then-trendy Chaos theory and poor, benighted Corri got a book ( Read more... )

Ah, the joys of obsessive-compulsive disorder: I have a toothache. I'm going to the periodontist on the 27th, and quite frankly, I think I'm going to lose the tooth. So anyway I have this ache off and on.

So at about, oh, say, 3 a.m., the ache is a dull throb. And I'm not really awake. And so somewhere in the dim reaches of my mind, it occurs to ( Read more... )

So the National Organization for Women Foundation is holding its annual poster design contest for its Love Your Body Campaign 2004. They are "looking for innovative responses to the onslaught of negative images that impact women's and girls' health."

To wit, some ideas below. If anyone takes these ideas and designs a winning poster instead of me, ( Read more... )

Valentine's Day was Saturday, and it was very lovely. I sent Michael a dozen roses at work. He did the same to me, except his are still alive but I got a lead crystal vase. Whoo-wooo!

We went to New Moon Cafe in Bangor for dinner. I love New Moon Cafe. How much do I love New Moon? It doesn't deserve to be stuck in such a cow-town as Bangor. I hate ( Read more... )

So it was Em's birthday last night, so I gave her a quick call. (HAPPY BIRTHDAY, EM!) Oddly enough, we started talking about TV commercials. I think I'm quite fond of the new Quizno's commercial. "THEY'VE GOT A PEPPER BAR!" Although I'd never eat there again...horrible food. Oh, wait, that was Schlotzky's. I don't think I've ever eaten at Quizno's ( Read more... )

So now an Executive Manager is so pissed off at her group's inability to get it together, that she's not speaking to me. Huh-WHA? Yeah, I know. Like I care!

Thought this morning: that the Rumplestiltskin story is, at its root, a tale of child abuse as well as greed. Michael says that's a modern interpretation. I replied I'm a modern girl.

My big ( Read more... )

I remember having to go to the Illinois Bell store to buy a phone. You couldn't buy a phone just anywhere...you had to go to the phone store. I seem to remember going practically every week. Of course, maybe it was just the mall we went to every week...

I also remember when Post-It Notes were new. Of course I also remember my Mom telling me, "I ( Read more... )

For those of you who don't know me, let me tell you: I have a weight problem.

(What? Someone who sits on her ass all day and has a weblog has a weight problem? Get out!)

I thought I've had this problem for years, but looking back at my childhood photos, it's obvious I was--er--maturing early. The weight problem came later.

I've been trying for ( Read more... )
