Now to choose the upholstery. I'm leaning toward the eggplant polyvinyl.

Oh, I forgot to mention swing dance lessons! We had our second lesson last night, and it's going great. Greg and Christine are great teachers, and I'm really fond of Scott and Sandy. They're warm, sweet people. I hope we get a chance to hang out with both couples more often, especially now that we're involved more in the studio and are taking

Any day of the week, I would rather hang out with the IT boys on Rock Band night, where they eat pizza and drink beer, than mingle with Marketing folks at after-work hors d'oeuvre functions. I get along with the guys really well. They're all good-natured and funny, and it's so nice that I'm treated like one of the gang instead of a girlfriend of ( Read more... )

It's a little disappointing I won't be going to Europe this year, but the upside is that I can start planning a trip to both Sweden and Italy (I hope) for early next year. We'll have to discuss it. And a week in Mexico this winter might work out too.

So Greg is away, and I am technically the only editor in the house. Victor is still a temp. Soon he'll be official and we'll have three editors in our department. There's more work to do while Greg's at NYC Popfest, but it's nice to have the office to myself ( Read more... )

It makes me want to bang on and destroy things-in a good way ( Read more... )

Now that I own a house, I find myself wanting to do all kinds of things to it. I want to learn how to put in foundation insulation myself in the spring so to better insulate in preparation for next winter. I actually looked into eco-friendly energy options, but I can't spend twenty thousand to go geothermal, and solar panels are both expensive and ( Read more... )

Okay, that’s it. I’ve decided to stop reading Freakangels. I can’t take the distorted features and broken necks anymore.

I’ve moved in but haven’t completely unpacked yet. Christmas will be at my house this year, so I’m unpacking the rest of my boxes tonight. The first couple of nights in the house were strange. It’s quiet-I mean really quiet. No people talking in the hallway or feet stomping up and down the stairs. No cars drive down my street at night. It felt like ( Read more... )
