8.5 hour shifts are the worst thing ... especially when no one is around.

Today I have read a blog (just one - but it is fabulous) watched some fencing from the Olympics (and wished it had sweet commentaries like gymnastics does) and realized I have been horribly negligent with distance ....

I still need to deal with the insurance company about the ( Read more... )

Still no bedroom in the outlet (in fact the contractors still have not made an appearance) but at least we have a/c and we don't have to get excited about things like our house 'getting down to 90'.

We had our first outlet event and it was a blast. It was a corporate spaghetti dinner (basically we divided up the menu and everyone brought a piece ( Read more... )

I feel like everything with the Outlet is a saga, rocks and hard places abound. But I love my roomies and love covers a multitude of sagas ... or something like that ( Read more... )

So I ended up postponing my move into the Outlet until I had a roommate with me because it is kind of creepy when it is empty. But Campbell is here now and we spent today cleaning out the kitchen - which was a far larger task than it should have been (and this is not including the fridge - lets not go there) because there was SO MUCH JUNK left ( Read more... )

My family is pretty big on forwards and most of the time I feel like I am worse off for having read them, but everyone once in a while there is a bit of a gem and I find that I kind of want to share.

I am back in the lovely SC .... I feel like I have a lot of processing left to do ... big surprise there. I kind of feel like most of this year has been me saying that I need to process more (maybe I have unreasonable expectations for the amount of processing that needs to be accomplished ( Read more... )

The show is this Wednesday and yesterday I was kind of on edge (still am really) and find myself frustrated with the fact that today is a mandatory break (which probably I need). Like anything else in life there are ups and downs and I am learning a lot about myself ( Read more... )

It has been a good week. I finally feel at home in this city, and I got to here this really fabulous speaker, Sy Rogers. He had a really refreshing way of considering sin and recovering from it as it were. Rather than looking at life in a spiritual vacuum he considered biological aspects of habit and retraining mental processes (a very different ( Read more... )

I keep falling more and more in love with NYC. Today I discovered a park so delightful it made me want to become a Nanny (too bad I was lost and that was not in fact the park I was supposed to be meeting people in ( Read more... )
