It’s crunch time at work, and I’m actually thriving on the workload. Other than last night, that is. I rowed at 5:45 til about 7:20, but just couldn’t seem to get it together with the technical aspects of my stroke — I was putting every ounce of effort in, but about half the time I [...]

I’m an Illuminares newbie no more! I have no idea why I’ve missed the past years of this remarkable display of light, community, and spirit but I won’t be missing it in the future. A snapshot of some of the intricate homemade lanterns.Photo ‘borrowed’ from PublicDreams.com What a magical experience the Lantern Festival was… it [...]

I feel so alone this morning. God, I hate this feeling. I give up. I don’t get emotions. What’s the #)$(%&*#$ point, anyhow?

I’m just having a shitty night/morning. It’ll work itself out. I’ve got the power. And, no, Shnewt, this isn’t for your benefit!

It’s been one of those technically challenging days for me today. It shouldn’t have been so frustrating, but it was, because I didn’t check some files before editing and compressing them for online delivery of video clips. I’ve done this so many times before, that I just assumed that the files were converted in the [...]

Okay, let’s see. I’m a busy chick again. Busy? Um, busy isn’t the correct term. I’m extremely tight with time. Nope, that doesn’t quite cut it either. Suffice to say, I’ve got a bizillion things on my plate today. But, you know, I couldn’t be happier, nor more productive! Tonight I’m producing a video for [...]

Lisa and I went to see “The Notebook” last night, and we both loved it. In fact, both of us walking into the movie had discussed our previous experiences in the theatre together watching movies that were supposedly tear-jerkers, and how we both are rarely moved by the “standard-fare” sentimental flicks we’d seen. I don’t [...]

First of all, I had a really great time at the blog meet up last night… It was awesome to catch up with so many that I felt that I knew already from reading their trials and tribulations online. It was also great to catch up with those that I had met before! When I [...]

Wooo! I had a great day today. I’m way tired, but I don’t care! I feel awesome! I shamelessly stole these three photos from Richard… The gang! Col and I! Shawn, Ritchie, Nelson, and me laughing my ass off as usual! What a great time, guys!

I just had an awesome experience with a dentist. For those that thought I had lost it yesterday, you should probably be more concerned today… I’m actually worried myself, because I walked out of the office thinking wow, I want to go back and be drilled some more. Okay, that’s not exactly what I thought, [...]

It’s official — I’m an angry bitch today. I was having a fairly productive, happy day until later this afternoon when I realized that I had nothing to do tonight as my plans had changed from tonight to tomorrow night. Upon calling around, it became obvious that my last minute ditch effort to find some [...]

At least I can say that there is one thing going well in my life at the moment… I’m really enjoying rowing! I find myself looking forward to each Monday and Wednesday evening, and I’ve even asked the coaches to be put on a sub list for when they require an extra body (when someone [...]

I’ve been doing some research for personal perspective, and gained some insight from a bunch of online and off-line sources relating to building the ideal relationship. Here’s a few points that I have gathered on this topic. 1. Letting Go of the Past The first step in being able to attract and create your ideal [...]

Wow. What a concept… Getting *out* of the house for a beer with friends, and online friends. Sounds like a great idea! Col suggested this about a week ago, and Darren has also invited his loyal readership. I thought I’d jump on the bandwagon as well! Date: Thursday, July 15 Time: Anytime after 7:30pm Where: [...]

I start my first rowing lesson in 43 minutes! I’m sooooo excited. Geez, I don’t have high expectations at all, do I? I just can’t wait to get started, as I know that I’m going to love being involved in a team activity for the first time in my life. It’s hard to believe, that [...]
