I keep telling myself that I will get better at posting, and of course, as with everything in my life, I am a work in progress ( Read more... )

I haven't been on a lot lately, life happens in those unexpected moments and moves you forward and away from the computer at times. But I haven't forgotten my LJ friends. You are all in my thoughts, and I am excited for all of your accomplishments and grieve with your through your losses ( Read more... )

Had a fantastic time in San Francisco doing WonderCon. To put it quite simply, we both needed to get the hell out of town and enjoy some "we" time that didn't include all the daily stress of our normal day-to-day lives. We had fun people watching, laughing and re-connecting. Something that I never get tired of when it comes to Darren ( Read more... )

I have the day off from work and we are heading for our yearly sojourn to SF for WonderCon. Can't wait to get out of town. :)

Work has been crazy, life has been good. Will update more when I get back from the weekend!

Had a wonderful day with Darren and our godson Ian today. We had breakfast with Laurie and the kids, then took Ian to the mall for shoe shopping, then to the apple store where the boys played with the I-Pads on display while I bought a new shuffle. (My Nano is finally giving up the ghost) then it was off to check out the lego store coolness. From ( Read more... )

Tomorrow is Friday and I am so very, very ready for it. It has been a crazy busy week at work, but a good one over all. My boss rocks. :) And I am not just saying that because I am just past my six months with CRC and I want a good review! And besides, he can't see this anyway. ;P ( Read more... )

On a lark, I applied for an auto loan two days ago to see if I would qualify. I fully expected to see either a rejection notice or a really outrageous sub-prime rate due to some stupid and very impetuous things that I did in my youth that I am still paying for today. (won't go into details, but let's just say that if I could go back and kick my ( Read more... )

Here it is, the final day of my 4 day weekend, and I am enjoying the morning, but taking the time to read my friends page and get caught up on everyone's life. However I am also procrastinating, and I have homework to do. This is so like me! But you know what? This is *my* time, and I am a "grown-ass woman" as my friend Laurie would say. I ( Read more... )

Darren and I exchanged gifts this morning when we woke up. I got him an expansion pack for board game that he has been wanting, as well as the requisite "throw it on the floor and if it looks good" lingerie. (I'll spare the details, let's just say it is a winner!) Darren got me a bottle of Gentleman Jack and a whiskey high ball glass, as well as ( Read more... )

Spending a lot of time trying to re-connect. With me, with those I love, with the world. I notice that while I am always putting myself *out* there, I rarely catch moments when my head isn't filled with the static of work and school. I have begun making a conscious effort to leave my stress from work at the door and to try to be more forgiving ( Read more... )
