back
When I wrote that 2 weeks ago, I couldn't have forseen what happened next! I spent 3 days in St. Louis, then a week and a half in New Orleans for Hurricane Ike. I got to go home and see everyone, and I felt pretty useful in the work I was doing. Emily is coming to visit on Saturday, so I'm super excited to hang out with her. It's the most time ( Read more... ) -
Another year
It's hard to pick back up journaling after being away so long. I don't even know who my audience is. Myself, I suppose. I haven't written in my paper journal since July 16th...and even that was a mistake. I wrote some dreams in there instead of my dream journal. (Which also has not been updated ( Read more... ) -
hmm
I've been quite reflective lately. Ruminative (ruminatory?), speculative, introspective even. I've decided...I'm not quite happy. I AM, but I'm not. I like where I am, what I've got, where I'm going...but...I want more. Is that so wrong of me? Am I buying into the American dream? The crass, materialistic, me-first, have-it-all, have-it-my-way lust ( Read more... ) -
um yeah, so...
I realize it's been forever since I updated. BUT! LiveJournal is now blocked at work. And I haven't had use of the computer at home for a week. (Well, I have, only I was too dumb to know it. But we won't go there ( Read more... ) -
house-sitting
I've been dog-sitting and house-sitting for my boss this past week. Thank goodness I've had Justin to help me out, otherwise I highly doubt the dogs would have gotten the attention they deserved. They haven't been particularly well-behaved, and poor Justin got stuck cleaning up a LOT of poop one day. I'm grateful. The boss also has a VERY ( Read more... ) -
Wild Things
I planted a bunch of herbs yesterday, and re-did the picture frames in my bedroom. I filled them with pictures from "Where the Wild Things Are." There can't be that many adults who purposely decorate their bedroom with monsters, can there? It's not as weird as it sounds, I swear!

phraseology
Today's Smiley column prompted me to remember a phrase I tend to use rather a lot: "I didn't lose it; I temporarily misplaced it."

Gah
GRE.
Gah.
Taking it tomorrow, then headed to the A's/Angels game for the LAME wetting down that's going to cost me about 900 bucks. Joy. -
overwhelmed
I'm feeling a little burned out, and definitely stressed lately. I'm not exactly happy with work, but at the same time I'm not thrilled about the idea of giving up my job and shifting to something new in a month. I'm taking on more projects and responsibilities, but I was already struggling a bit. I'm excited about a lot of it, and pleased that ( Read more... )
