Woke up at 7:00 a.m.  It's been 56 hours with smoking,  I've been entertaining myself with listening to new CD's brought home from Lita's; not like I'd grade the hundreds of papers sitting in the living room with grades due Tuesday.  So far, Robert Cray's Shoulda Been Home is a winner, while I'll be passing Teddy Geiger and Nick Lachey to the first ( Read more... )

I simply must mention how much I admire those of you who: 1. Can get Twitter to work, and 2. Make time for it.  I've noticed that I average one post a month since taking over Yearbook, my latest baptism of fire now that I can do a Domesday report like a big girl.  I couldn't let it all just get EASY for a while, right?  And now that I'm getting YB ( Read more... )

When I took over the Yearbook,  I harbored some delusion about spending six or seven months putting together a book, sending it in, and getting it back all bound and ready to go in a few weeks.  If I'd have known how big the numbers were that I'd be juggling, or that I'd have to take untrained staff from zero to production in under ten weeks, I'd ( Read more... )

Borrowed from Cavalaxis a meme I shall post later. I am grateful to be home, having passed a rough Saturday night in GWW Headquarters, in front of the flame-thrower-of-life.

Yeah, yeah, I know. I've actually been writing in my secret journal ( Read more... )

Time flies! Tomorrow, David and I celebrate one year of marriage tomorrow (how many "Get Out Of Being Labeled A Newlywed" passes does this buy me?), and it seems like the year just evaporated. We still haven't picked out wedding pics and it's our first anniversary. just grilled, a task at which neither of us particularly excel. I like to ( Read more... )

I'm still here. Delving into summer projects is slowly decompressing me from the the school year, although I still still can't stay up past 12 or sleep past 7:15. I've restored the front of the apartment to a state wherein I would not be mortified to have people show up at the front door. Just think - it only took 2 weeks to clean and organize ( Read more... )
