Friday afternoon and I'm almost out of time at the office, and pretty much out of stuff to do. The week gradually got better. My conversation/grammar clients went well, I think. Basically I had to get them to talk fluently about a subject and correct their pronunciation as we went. I used one of the office speech path's "Table Topics" conversation ( Read more... )

Oh look. Easily distracted writer comes back to her blog after months of inaction. Who hasn't seen this before? Well I've got another office job and thus some computer time, so we'll see what happens ( Read more... )

I'm usually pretty good about not spending money on things I don't need, but I've had a bad couple of weeks when it comes to buying beauty products! There must be some psychological reason, but I haven't quite pinpointed it yet. I suppose one still has a measure of control over her skincare, makeup and hair even if she unfortunately gave in to ( Read more... )

I swore I was going to update this frequently, but that doesn't seem to have been happening. I promise to do better. My tiny friends list has grown by one (yay Rhoda!) which has prompted me to actually add something. When I have a few more entries I'll actually try and get some readers ( Read more... )

(yes, despite being a "wench") I'm pretty much locked into work stuff ( Read more... )

I wenched three sold out shows last weekend and falconed two big ones and contracted a case of the plague, aka a bad cold. I actually stayed home from the office yesterday, my workaholic side feeling terribly guilty but I hadn't felt that bad in a while ( Read more... )

Long day at the office. I was supposed to go out for coffee afterward with my friend Karen, but she got stuck doing a double shift at her gym receptionist job, poor thing. There are so many people I need to see, (for which I am lucky) and now I'm spending another of my free weeknights by myself. Oh well. I'll get started on that paper for my online ( Read more... )

Pirating my own content, this time from Facebook, just to take up some space in this sparse-lookin' thing. Without further ado, I give you the recent "25 things about me" trend ( Read more... )

Hmm let's actually do a journal-type entry ( Read more... )

I really try to focus on reading only one, or perhaps two, books at a time, but at the moment I seem to be in the middle of a ridiculous number! Figured I'd share a bit about what I'm into, my thoughts on them, and why I just can't seem to focus.

The Golden Key by Melanie Rawn, Jennifer Roberson, and Kate Elliot. I picked this up at a used ( Read more... )
