This is the first year Luke has brought up the approaching holiday season without prompting -- at least from my husband or myself. He knows Halloween is on the way, and he requested a costume this year. A TIGER! ROAR! I was worried I wouldn't be able...
This has been the wackiest, most disappointing, scariest, most productive and most exhilarating week of my life! It's weird how one week can encompass so many vastly different states and feelings, but looking back, I really feel it can. I won't...
I just wanted to share this link I found on one of the blogs I regularly read : www.austinpost.org . I love Lyssa's blog, and I'll let her describe the Austin Post: The idea behind it is to fill the void left by the death of newspapers (dun dun...
My distaste for Oprah has been growing. I used to watch her show in the hour before the 5pm news, because there was nothing else on (while I'm at work). That went on for about 6 months before I got fed up. I found myself getting sucked into her show...
So after feeling really worn out for more than a week, I am suddenly feeling much more enthusiastic about all of my web projects. My current client has given me a deadline to work toward, which, as Andy pointed out, always seems to motivate me. I'm...
I am nearly complete with the website for my own business: House on Payne Web Design. www.houseonpayne.com At this point, I'm just tweaking -- both the design and the wording. I'm trying to sell myself and my skills, but right now, I have only...
I don't read much for myself anymore -- other than a few magazine articles and online newspapers and news site. Now, I read for my son. I've gotten quite good at reading aloud. I don't trip over my words quite as much as I used to -- the main...
I had a rough Friday. I came hope on the verge of tears and nearly collapsed. Thinking about it now, it wasn't all that bad, but I guess I've been feeling more emotional lately, and the day was so busy - I guess it just wore me out. It started...
I often marvel at how different Andy's and my lives have become over the years that we have known each other. He still laughs when we drive by the McDonald's on MLK near campus and ribs me how I took him there one time to eat. That was in 1996...
I finally got off my butt and bought some new music this year. And downloaded it! I've been a dinosaur when it comes to music -- I still have tons of CDs. But when I got my new iPod Touch, I started listening to digital music more and more. Here's...
I haven't been blogging much recently because I've been reading and working on the web so much in the past month. Every free second I have, I'm sitting in front of my computer or a book (with my iPod by my side) trying to read up on the latest...
On Christmas Day I officially became part of a new group of people who reach into their pockets or bags for a tiny device which carries your calendar, contacts and the latest version of connection to the rest of the world. My husband surprised me with...
A friend of mine and I were having a discussion at lunch yesterday about "Facebook stalking." He argues that following people's lives on Facebook without ever talking to them constitutes stalking. I say no. When you follow people on Facebook...
Yeah... I said it. It stinks. And not because Andy and I have to worry about how much we spend at the supermarket or that we can't go out to dinner more than once in a while, or even because Christmas will be very small this year. It's because...
I used to wonder why stores put out their Christmas decorations in October -- before Halloween! Now I understand, especially after reporting on the economy for the past few months. They are trying to get people to buy more . The earlier people are reminded...
