Buddies
One thing that moving every couple of years has taught me, is that even though it doesn't seem that way - 2 years is a LONG time and A LOT can happen. Each one of the places I've live was like an entire lifetime. At the end of each one, I was a new, better person. Its enough time to build good relationships that you sorely miss when you have to go ( Read more... ) -
Mommy
So, the Carson City shooting happened down the street ~1/4 mi from my mom. I texted her and she and hubby are ok. It just reminds you how quickly things can change. Things that are literally, 100% out of your control. Things you can't even imagine. 1 moment your life routine - the next, it changed forever. Permanent, irreparable changes. Remember ( Read more... ) -
Busy Weekend
Lots to do in Chicagoland. Almost too much. Zach is too young to enjoy these things, but we had a grand time taking Zoë to the water park, playground, Local Fair, CHildrens' Museum and then "helping" around the house. She's really good at handing me the utensils, calling out each one's name :D ( Read more... ) -
Reboot
Well, its been many MANY years. I can't believe how long its been. I've decided to start writing again - at the request of my Life Coach, John LaSota. It makes sense. Jotting stuff down helps put things into perspective. Helps to analyze. That's why they tell you to write notes in school - then rewrite them. That process helps ( Read more... ) -
Balaclava
Test went well today. Very effective little $5 thing. It was 9 DEG F out, yet my face was quite warm. This thing is thinner than khakis. I did learn one thing very quickly on my test Sun. Don't wear glasses w/ a balaclava. Instant fog. :/ That means I have to wear my uncomfortable contacts until I can get new ones ( Read more... ) -

No Jinxes, Please
Things have been looking up lately. I just got my offer in the mail from my employer welcoming me to the firm as a permanent hire - and the amount list was over $1,200/yr more than I was making in my contract position - an unexpected raise ( Read more... ) -
Updates
Updated my photo album with some Key West pix. Still haven't posted the ones from the digicam yet :/ - which are more and better than these - taken w/ a cheap-ie disposable ( Read more... ) -
Dreamage....
Had a weird dream the other night. I'm not sure how it started, but, I either found out the facts, or was seeing it first hand. I ended up finding out the truth about the afterlife. There was a heaven, but not like the xian one. It was actually very much life as we know it now - except you could do whatever you wanted, no pain/suffering, etc. It ( Read more... )
