One down...
Well, I've just finished the outline, PowerPoint, and script for my first lecture. I still have to tweak all the animations, record the audio, etc. But it's one down. Thirteen to go. Joy. But hey, it's a start. It's going a lot faster now that I'm not trying to write with the TV blaring. I'm taking a short break to finish up the audiobook I' ( Read more... ) -
Just stuff...
Yesterday I had the appetite of a 6 year old. Hot dog, chicken nugget value meal at McDonald's, grilled cheese for dinner, and cookies cookies cookies. I also had the stomach ache to go along with it when I went to bed last night. So today I'm making up a batch of zucchini chowder, as I just can't bring myself to eat salad this time of year. I ( Read more... ) -

The Great Cull
Well, I'm planning a trip to the used bookstore next week. As I don't want to spend a lot of my own money and still have a long list of stuff I want to buy, I'm digging deep into my bookshelves and realistically looking at stuff to see whether a) I'm ever going to read it--there are some books that I really wanted to read at the time and have ( Read more... ) -
Ugh! That Man!
On the Master List of Things To Do, I've been making a dent:
Tomorrow:- Sort mail and deal with bills
- Wrap presents for work.
- Make dishes for Friday work parties.
- Sweep dog hair
- Put all shoes and extraneous coats away (actually, I could do that tonight before I go to bed)

Oops
Yeah, so that office Christmas party on Friday? It's really today. My boss came in my office a half hour ago all dressed up. So I just went home and frantically threw together the taco soup in a crock pot (thank God I picked something easy and not baked goods. While the meat was browning, I got the dirty Santa gift wrapped, so now everything is ( Read more... ) -
So Much To Do, So Little Time
OMG my house is disgusting. It's been raining for days, which means dirty puppy feet as they go in and out to potty. The vacuum broke (I've got to take it to Tupelo to get serviced), so there's an excess of dog hair everywhere. I've got more groceries than I can store due to ingredients for various baking projects and party dishes. I'm behind ( Read more... ) -
Christmasy update
Whee! We're watching A Charlie Brown Christmas. It's one of my all time favorites. A must watch. DH can take it or leave it, but he's watching it with me anyway. I've got hot chocolate with two big fat marshmallows in a s'mores snowman mug (officially purchased for hot chocolate). DH has coffee with egg nog creamer. We're being good and not ( Read more... ) -
Sucky Electronics and Holiday Chub
Planned obsolescence pisses me off. During our grandparents and even our parents generations, stuff was made to last. You bought it, and you could rely on it lasting a good long while. We've had so much stuff break or die this year. The dishwasher in April. The TV in January (or was that last year?). The vacuum while I was out of town (it is ( Read more... ) -
Home Sweet Home
OMG it's so nice to be home. DH made an effort to clean up the house, which was appreciated (not finished, as the vacuum died, but the rest was noticeable). We've been all snuggly and smoochy and he's cooking supper (chili). He said he wants to come up with a couple of things he can cook so that he can cook a few times a week. Clearly I need to ( Read more... )
