I crack myself up. In the past 4 months, I have quit my job, dyed my hair blue and started my own company. When I do a mid-life crisis, I go all the way ( Read more... )

I like this guy. He is thoughtful, and fun. And pretty close to the mark. Last week (Jan 17-23) he wrote for me: TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Strategic planning will presently do a Taurus good...you are due to have at least one memorable growth experience, which'll open your eyes to how much more is possible than recent years' events may have ( Read more... )

I have my Facebook account, and started a Blogspot, but it wasn't until I talked to Renee that I realized that I still need my LiveJournal account. I need a place that isn't as popular, where I don't have to edit my words or style as much. My current boss has her own blog, and encourages others, but she is way academic and professional in hers, ( Read more... )

It's late and I haven't the time to do a full posting to continue the theme I started. But I want to get in the habit, so I will throw in my thoughts before I pass out ( Read more... )

Miles is 19 months old, Brian is gainfully employed, and I hate my job every other day. I have a retirement contract to pay off by May, and then I'm outta there! There's a lot going on, and I didn't do very many Xmas cards this year, so no one's been updated. (It's not just you. hee) But that's not why I'm writing ( Read more... )

So I am really behind, in practically everything in my life, with one exception: the baby is doing fine. Yep, the baby. Being pregnant kinda felt like an attention-getting ruse by comparison. But here we are, and there's a live human being dependent on us for sustenance, care, development and snuggles. No pressure. I may sound calm, but that's ( Read more... )

Well, we are updating our voice mails every day (almost) with the status, so why not here? Especially since we have gotten to the real waiting part. The house is stable (as it can get), the plants are watered, and the pets are fed. We even managed to take Kalista (kitty) to the vet for her annual checkup and because she was limping. No obvious ( Read more... )

No kid yet. I kept trying to take naps this week, but people kept calling asking if we had the baby yet. Oh, yeah. We had the kid and went home and just didn't tell anyone. We're jerks like that. heehee Come on, like we could even keep the pregnancy a secret. We were telling everyone at 5 weeks, and you're supposed to wait 3 months. Me like ( Read more... )

Well, I had intended to post more often, but...no. Here I am, 9 months pregnant, and I finally get around to it. It is important to tell people that Michigan probably won't happen. The state has decided to roll their program out all at once, so they will postpone a year or so to better prepare. Brian is taking the summer off to be with his baby ( ( Read more... )

What a wonderful 3-day weekend. Not that Monday was a holiday, I just took it off. It was a much-needed brain break. Brian planned the whole thing (a stress-reliever in itself) at a B&B in Monterrey. We started every day with the most awesome meal, spent all day Saturday at the aquarium and went to a phenomenal French restaurant that night. ( ( Read more... )
