Well, I have moved to a new gym much closer to the new house (2 blks north of work actually). I made it irrevocable by going through the hassle of cancelling my old membership. Seriously - the place is almost 10 miles out of my way now that we've moved, so how realistic is it that I'll make it now that it's not just a brief jog south of the house ( Read more... )

So we move - a lot. For years I moved 2-3 times a year. During the last 5 years it's only been once a year or even once every two years (except for the unfortunate time we moved to Redmond when we moved twice in one year again and happily paid $1K for the privilege). But we move a lot. Only 2 years out of the past fifteen have I not moved once ( Read more... )

Well, war broke out on monday and I'm mopping up today. What a roller coaster this week has been. The second I get all my goals for the day finished I am getting the heck out of here! Last week it looked like this would be a quiet week filled with immersing myself in the aspects of the job that I really enjoy and I was very much looking forward ( Read more... )

Well - we are buying one. I never really thought we would, but we put an offer on one and it's been accepted. We got our inspection and made 1 repair request based on that. We've filled out papers for the mortgage company and the title company and all that remains (I believe) is to get homeowner's insurance. This feels really surreal. Moving ( Read more... )

Doing what I want no less!!! I've been there for a week. It's in avionics again. Thus far it's been pretty much throw-a-bunch-of-technical-docs-at-the-new-girl-and-then-throw-her-at-a-big-unfamiliar-product-and-expect-her-to-hit-the-ground-running - *whew*! Good thing I like that sort of stuff. I don't know how I'd ever manage if someone ( Read more... )

I am so very excited! I have lost enough weight that I had to go have my little black dress taken in - w00t!

I had a lovely dinner ( Read more... )

I had the most surreal dream last night where I was in France watching Don Dokken sashay on stage in a shiney plether jacket and thigh-high boots. Then suddenly I was in my old hotel room (the first hotel in Paris I stayed at) and was looking at myself in the mirror and as I watched my hair grew grey. They greyer my hair got the older my face got ( Read more... )

It's going to be blazingly hot in Seattle today (maybe) - so I think I need to go peruse the University Bookstore for books on Fields and RF engineering principles (which I've been meaning to do) and get me some WOW. I am also realizing how much trig I have forgotten - Calculus sticks with me for some reason, but I tried to remember the Law of ( Read more... )
