I don't think I posted this here before...

I created a travel blog for our travels this summer and syndicated it to LJ if anyone wants to add it to their friend's list: http://syndicated.livejournal.com/distantes/So far there are two entries: Rob's marathon and our first Tennessee post. Look for more from Tennessee, including Dollywood's Splash ( Read more... )

OMG, I spoke to my family in Cedar Rapids this morning and I just feel sick. The flooding is unbelievable. This is worse than the flood of 1993, which was awful. They're calling it a 500 year flood ( Read more... )

Wanted to take a minute to update on the NutriSystem (NS) situation. They are currently scrambling like mad, trying to cover themselves. They've admitted that these security breeches did, in fact, occur. They're scared as hell over potential lawsuits (as well they should be) and will, at the very least, be offering a public apology. They have ( Read more... )

Oh, the drama! It's been a strange and interesting week here at Chez Dia, involving hacking, malicious intent, the FBI, possible litigation, and possible media coverage. ( story behind the cut )

Even so, I needed tohear it from the doctor herself. :) And the news was, indeed, good in that the biopsy results were normal, no problems ( Read more... )

a quick update from winnie- managed to navigate thru the mountains and got all hooked up. boomer is still trying to figure everything out while the kidlet has already made friends with the boys at the next campsite, even tho they're younger. I love winnie!!!

In preparation for sabbatical, I have created a blog, Anatomy of a Sabbatical, to keep track of sabbatical activities (which I will need for my sabbatical report eventually). In any case, it now exists as an LJ syndication feed. You can also view it directly at http://debs-sabbatical.blogspot.com/Right now there's just the one post there but once ( Read more... )

I used the credit card so much this weekend that it triggered the early fraud warning for it...as I told hubby, I've definitely spent our tax rebate checks, even though they haven't come yet ( Read more... )

It occurs to me that I haven't posted any updates or progress on my weight loss program lately. I'm still going strong with NutriSystem and still love it. My third shipment arrived today (I had postponed it a week due to our cruise). In spite of the fact that I *know* what's in the order, because I picked it all out, it's still a little bit like ( Read more... )

June is kind of a totally weird month for me. I'm here through the end of the semester (June 13, which is graduation although I've been excused from attending by our president). Our family vacation, for which I'm off work, is the 15th to the 22nd. I have the 23rd (a Monday) off of work. Remember that we have to drive 32 hours now to get *back* ( Read more... )
