I'm not driving, I'm sitting on the couch typing
Following the lead of Alaska Commuter:
For the first three people that reply to me and re-post this challenge, I will send you something.
It might be something I’ve made, or something cool from my hidden stash (I hear you saying, "but you don't have a hidden stash") it might be a mix CD, or a rubber duck, a book I think you will enjoy, or something ( Read more... ) -

The Great RV Trip; the end of HP
One week, to northern Minnesota and back, in an RV with the hubster and kids. Need I say more? We were supposed to take another three days and go to far upstate NY to see my family, but we were already suffering from too much time in the RV when hubby ran over a stop sign and that seemed like a sign that we should go home ( Read more... ) -

A Serving of Humble Pie, with a New Link on the Side
A few months back, I posted a link to the blog of a young woman named Melissa C. Morris. And I snarked about her choice of spouse. Why would I do something so rude? Because I'm an incurable smart-ass, because I get so caught up in my own juggling act that I forget that other people make different choices because (well, duh, Wendy) they're ( Read more... ) -
New Place
It's been a busy four months. There was the new job to land, the old job to quit (and, boy, was that a saga), and the new job to settle into. I've been here 6 weeks now, and it's pretty good. Quiet, collegial, promising. Did I mention quiet? The location, the office, the people. Quiet. Except for B, who rarely stops talking but often isn't ( Read more... ) -
New icons/Halloween pictures
Charlie was a monkey because, well, he is a monkey. And somehow Lori convinced B she should be the banana to her brother's monkey, though I think B has been regretting it ever since. I do not think she will ever dress up as a banana again. But she's cute in any costume and Charlie is ADORABLE in his monkey suit.

Buzzwords
I have not updated in a month and a half. But I have lost 20 pounds in the last month and a half. I'm not trying to distract you from the first fact by mentioning the second; rather, the two are directly related. All of my spare on-line time for the last 8 weeks has been devoted to MyFoodDiary.com, which is how I've managed to lose so much weight. ( Read more... ) -
A new look and a general update
Those of you who have visited before may notice that my journal looks a little different. The LJ folks got their hands on some swanky new themes and rolled them out last week. I chose this layout not so much for the alcohol reference as for the colors and simplicity of the layout. The only downside to the new themes is that they're not as easy ( Read more... )
