For the last week, I've just been muddling through until my next cup of coffee. It's a bit of a change, since I've managed to cut down on caffeine fairly successfully over the last year as I've tried to normalize my sleeping schedule (couldn't handle going to sleep at 3 a.m. and waking up at 7 a.m. any more). I've only had one thermos in the ( Read more... ) -
(very annoyed at sharing an office and need to vent)
My office mate just spent the last 15 minutes complaining about people who talk on cell phones while driving.

I was very excited about this freelancing assignment. Of course, now the stress sets in. The story requires me to talk to an economist who is in high demand. As expected, ABC News carries a lot more weight than a quarterly local magazine, and he's had to bail on two interviews. While I understand, my deadline is Monday and I had to call my new ( Read more... ) -
Thoughts on weddings, 25 February
Now that we're planning a wedding, I've been voraciously consuming wedding blogs and Web sites. Having never done this before, I’ve found some pretty reliable sources on finding vendors, what questions to ask, how to budget for an event like this. I found myself reading two sites often. Incidentally, they're on rather opposite sides of the spectrum ( Read more... )
