This morning I filled out my official 2010 United States Census. I was going to put it off but the fact that my response is REQUIRED BY LAW intimidated me a little. So I ignored it for three days and finally my paranoia set in. Granted, I won’t be here this weekend if the police, FBI or god forbid, the CIA, decide to raid my home, break down my ( Read more... )

I’m a paper whore. There. I said it. A nicer way to put it would be paper “pack rat” but I don’t think that quite describes the overwhelming need of having tons of paper a mere arm’s reach away. Sure, it has to be neat and filed or in its proper cubby in my hutch, but it is there and readily available when I need it. To say that I love ( Read more... )

I recently purchased a Nintendo DS Lite and I love it. It’s small, it’s streamlined, and it’s pink. What’s not to love? Granted, I haven’t removed it from the box… but when I do, I know I’ll become obsessed with it and with playing it and with buying games for it and dominating them. And therein lies the problem. I have a confession to ( Read more... )

The other day, Jason whined that my posts on Lifeinflux are not as random and fun as my posts used to be when I was on Livejournal. He said that random and fun were the reasons people read as opposed to, you know, my insightful observations and words of profound wisdom. Mom, stop chuckling. I HEAR YOU. I reminded Jason that sharing crap in my ( Read more... )

2010 has started off with a bang. When I look back six months ago and the level of unhappiness in my life verses today and the level of satisfaction and happiness I feel, I know that I am one lucky girl. When I wrote my list of 101 things in 1001 days, I had no idea that my little company would explode, bringing in enough income to support ( Read more... )

Over the last three years, I’ve donated over 500 hours of my time volunteering at Drue’s school in support of the theatre arts program. This does not include the time I volunteer supporting other programs, being room parent for Drue’s class, attending PTA meetings, etc. I enjoy working with the kids and enjoy the programs I support. I also ( Read more... )

Sorry for not posting here recently. I've been a bit busy what with the holidays and such. I've neglected posting snippets and links to Lifeinflux for the last three posts and wanted to get them out here in case anyone was interested. So here we go!

I enjoy baking. No, scratch that. I LOVE to bake. And I particularly love to bake cookies. Thanks to Memaw, Gram, Martha Stewart and other random folks, magazines and my love of experimenting with flavors in the kitchen, I now have over a thousand tried and true cookie recipes to pick from and use throughout the year. Of those recipes, 451 are ( Read more... )

I knew I was in trouble this morning the moment I opened my eyes. Mimir, otherwise known as The Cat™, was sitting by my head frantically pushing at my face. There are wonderful ways to be nudged from sleep. There are great ways to be nudged from sleep. Shoot, there are even "okay, I wanted to sleep but you woke me up" ways to be nudged from ( Read more... )

There are a few times in my life where I've had to eat my words. My mom would say there were many times I've had to eat a little crow. And she'd then tell you about my Corporate America speech circa '92, or the "no fast or processed food in my child" speech of '99. Just for kickers she might tell you about the four months I swore off all ( Read more... )
