Think back… What is the most embarrassing technological mishap you’ve ever had? Is it one you can laugh at after the complete humiliation of it has worn off? It’s been one of those days for me ( Read more... )

With my boss out of the office, I’m left to wait. I have to wait for an initial product I know will be wrong because the vendor did not understand what I meant by “this needs to be four and a half inches.” However, I’m in no mood to argue and perhaps the man will figure it out for himself. He does, after all, have the specifications…kind of. I ( Read more... )

I've had this journal since 2004. Wow. I eventually want to copy and paste all the entries and comments and turn them into a book. It could be my first novel. Compiling five years of entries is a lot of work. It's an exciting idea!

I realized tonight, though I should have realized this much earlier in my life, that I am absolutely terrible at putting my thoughts into words without first writing them down. This is not true in all cases. I can summarize a work or idea that I understand. I can apply a work or idea to my own life. However, I have difficulty describing what a ( Read more... )

It is crazy how time flies. I seem to live in 6-7 week increments; every 6-7 weeks is either a crest or a swell in the mood of my life. In another 6 weeks I'll be graduation from college - a milestone in anyone's life, a time for reflection. I wouldn't say I'm haunted by my past, but I wouldn't say that I bathe in the warmth of it either. My ( Read more... )

Valentine's Day was absolutely wonderful. Ben drove down to N. Manchester to see me. We had a late dinner at the Mexican restaurant with a few too many margaritas. It was my idea to get a pitcher. The last time we got a pitcher there were five of us to drink it. *shakes head* Yep, I wasn't thinking when I suggested the idea. A lot of the ( Read more... )

Every once in a while I read through e-mails I have saved over the years. Each is filled with strong emotion or has emotional attachment for me. Anger, Betrayal, Laughter, Teasing, but most of all Love. I feel special that I have been loved by so many people, even if I don't speak (and wouldn't or couldn't speak) to some of them anymore. It ( Read more... )

On the twenty-sixth the Houser family: Laura, Jason, Jennavee, John, and Ben came over to the Kambs's house. I played with the babies and had a pretty good time. Then next day I was sore from throwing the children in the air, but none the worse for wear. That evening Ben and I went to the JD Houser household to hang out with JD, Tori, Matt, and ( Read more... )

Ah, back in the mid-west... and my hands are already permanently cold ( Read more... )

My family doesn't spend much time with secondary family members i.e. cousins uncles grandparents. This lack of quality time causes a drift in the relationships. So, I don't know my extended family and since I never see them, I don't try to get to know them. In recent years Adair has become more intimate (nothing sexual and I don't know why I'm ( Read more... )
