Suddenly tired

Monday, May 17th, 2004

We just walked to the library and back — and on the way there I was carrying probably 18 lbs. of books. Now, it’s not a very long trip. And 18 lbs is not a lot of weight. But somehow, when you combine the two, and throw in a dash of I’m-in-terrible-terrible-shape, […]

Happy Travels!

Sunday, May 16th, 2004

Most excellent travelling wishes to my most excellent sister Katie — who’s taking a nice two-and-a-half week jaunt to CHINA! How cool is that? I hope she brings back lots of amazing pictures!
Yay Katie! I’m very excited for you!
(and very jealous!)

paint, paint, paint….

I’m having a real color dilemma with my new office. Of course, this is one of those dilemmas that would be much much easier if I were there and able to actually see the walls in person. But I can’t, so it’s these ideas are just going to swim around inside my head […]

Weekend? What weekend?

Saturday, May 15th, 2004

Well, after having a nice weekend off (the first in more than three months) last week, I have no such luxury this weekend. In fact, I’m incredibly busy. But, I’m making progress! After spending all morning, and the first part of the afternoon, out with the family and going out to lunch […]

More work, new blog?

Friday, May 14th, 2004

Work just keeps on coming!
And on top of all that, I think I will end up moving to a different blogging system. MovableType, which I have fully endorsed ever since I started using it, has started charging for their software. Only for their new versions, mind you — so, if I […]

Work, not vacation

Thursday, May 13th, 2004

Yurg. Working at home is sometimes rough. But never rougher than when you’re doing it inside a houseful of people on vacation. Oh well, I’m just glad everybody’s here, so I really can’t complain. And in addition to our families, our friend Kirstin is in town too! She’s living in […]

Good caramel, bad commercial

Wednesday, May 12th, 2004

Well, the caramel I tried the other day turned out (in my humble opinion) deliciously. MMmm…. I made two batches, one with chopped almonds mixed in, and another — because Jen doesn’t like nuts — with a little amaretto instead. I actually like the one with amaretto best — but it is […]

Still waiting…

Tuesday, May 11th, 2004

Well no big change today, but Jen still seems to be progressing slowly. But we expect it to be soon. I had a meeting scheduled for Wednesday — I told Jen she better get me out of it

But, well…. As much as I’d love to go to that […]
