Been a While
Okay, so we last left Justin on his way to the Toddler Room. He loves it in there. He went to work immediately to test the boundaries and rules and proved that the plug in covers for outlets really are a waste of money. He can get them off faster than I can. The classroom is really structured (for the chaos that is a toddler room) and since he' ( Read more... ) -
My Poor, Isolated Son
Busy weekend. It's odd because on Friday night, my husband expressed his concern that we are lazy parents. That we don't take Justin out and about much ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
My office has completely converted to Macs. That means I'm trying to get used to doing things in a completely different operating system. Normal tasks are taking a lot longer and I'm constantly interrupted by requests to learn how to do something. Half the time I don't know--even the Mac users in the office feel a bit out of their league, but we ( Read more... ) -
I Love My Life
Sometimes it really is good to be me. Lately, it's been rather fabulous. I've been wanting to get a macbook for a while now. My Dell desktop is getting on in years and is not as reliable as it once was. This is a problem because I use it when I'm working from home to connect to the office. At the same time, the office has been having severe ( Read more... ) -
Do You Believe in Fairies?
Last week as I was arriving home, the cable fairy came to visit. She knew that I was a current customer and had my account details in front of her. She said that Charter had changed some of their packages and the long and the short of it was:- We qualify for free phone service (I declined because we only use our cell phones)

Wonders Never Cease
So last night my future SIL invited me and my MIL to a Norwex party. Some of you may remember that my future SIL and her best friend, H, had some issues with me back when H was dating my husband's brother. Things were still rather rocky at my wedding even. And I think I've written just enough about my MIL so that you understand how last night ( Read more... ) -
Good Things Come in Threes
I've wanted to upgrade from my current Dell desktop to a Mac Powerbook for a little while now. My desktop was really wonky a month ago, but seems to have gotten over itself since I removed some programs that I didn't need. So I can't justify the expense of getting a new computer, much less one that runs just under $3K ( Read more... ) -
On Vox: Back to Usual
So I'm back on my regular work schedule, 2 days in the Cities, 3 days at home. It feels nice. The babe was sleepy at 7:30 and was out by 8 so I should probably get some exercise in and do the dishes quickly so I can relax for the rest of the evening.

On Vox: Day of Rest
I took the day off from work. My son still went to daycare, so I did some dishes and my mini workout and then just relaxed. I worked on a cross stitch project, saw Sex and the City, enjoyed the fish fry at Marie's, stopped by the in-laws, watched Charlie Wilson's War, and made progress on the market bag I'm knitting. I feel very good right now.

On Vox: It's Over
The audit is pretty much done--the fieldwork in our office is over and now the auditors go back and run their reports and draw up their documents. All in all, I think it went well. They did find a lot of small errors and they have some clear recommendations on how to improve our processes, so I'm glad that they were so thorough.
