Posted on March 13, 2008
Thursday's ConfessionsI have a vague memory of a few installments around here of Thursday's Confessions. Either that, or I'm having bloglucinations. I gave up searching for a past example to link to after about 5 minutes - I got drawn into reading old blog posts, instead - there's a good use of time...

I Think I Can, I Think I CanI've

Posted on March 12, 2008
I Think I Can, I Think I CanI've almost made it to Easter. Did I tell you I gave up popcorn again this year for Lent? Well, I did, whether I told you or not. And last night I had a nightmare that friends were making batch after batch of popcorn and emptying their bowls of it all around me...

Skid MarksAfter filling up the tank in my car a few days ago, I took advantage of the gas station's automatic car wash because my poor little car was in desperate need of a wash. My car and I emerged from the garage-turned-car-wash looking and feeling fresh and new...

TidbitA couple of weeks ago, a partner invited me to attend last night's Pacers game in our firm's suite, at which we hosted a handful of folks who work for one of our firm's clients. (And the Pacers managed to win last night, so he picked a good game)...

It's Not You; It's MeThe elephant

Posted on March 02, 2008
It's Not You; It's MeThe elephant in the blog around here is that there hasn't been any blogging. I half expected some comments about my relatively extended absence to pop up on that poor post from Feb 18th that was tasked with holding down the fort.In 2 days 3 people nudged me a bit about the lack of blogging...

Forward MarchAccording to my Outlook

Posted on March 01, 2008
Forward MarchAccording to my Outlook calendar and my handheld, it appears to be the month of March. This is theoretically good news, because March is my favorite month. It's a great month, bringing us spring, St. Patrick's Day, my birthday, (and Leslie's birthday!), and just in the last few years both of my nieces' birthdays, March Madness, which can be exciting even to those of us who aren't big college basketball fans, and of course, spring...

Posted on February 18, 2008
Working WorldT had her first busy work shift one night last week. She'd eased into her new job with a couple of relatively standard shifts, and then her will to work was tested. She dragged herself up the stairs late that night, and told me she was exhausted...

And, ExhaleI've been freezing all

Posted on February 11, 2008
And, ExhaleI've been freezing all day. My office is super cold, due in part to the windows and in part to the fact that I've had maintenance close my vents because the blasts of air blow papers right off my desk. In an effort to warm up, I'd had 2 cups of hot chocolate by 9am, and I almost never drink anything but water while at work...

Vacation, All I Ever WantedGod willing, I'm going to Florida in the spring. T will be away for 2 whole weeks, and I am in serious need of time off and sunshine. And the beach. And a beverage or two.I'm 85% certain I'm going to drive, to save the cost of airfare...

Walk Like An EgyptianAs some of you know, T is scheduled to take a 2 week trip to Egypt and Jordan for her spring break, beginning at the end of March. Both excited and nervous, I can't quite wrap my mind around the fact that she has this amazing opportunity at such a young age...

Unclear on the ConceptI read with amazement the comments of a woman from South Carolina, who was discussing Barack Obama and his bid for the Democratic nomination. "He says he's the one, and says 'I have a dream.' But I say to him - you're not Martin Luther King, and it's not your dream...

More Kudos for THope you haven't yet run out of congratulations for T. We're happy she is about to be gainfully employed, but I am ecstatic that she has just made the honor roll at her very academically challenging high school for the 2nd quarter in a row...

Posted on January 15, 2008
Dirty SantaExtended family is getting together this weekend for some post-holiday family time. Plans call for our first ever dirty santa (white elephant, etc...) gift exchange as a family, with gifts in the $5 -$10 range. At Christmas, a couple of family members spent some time explaining the rules as they've played them in the past...

Today's Top TextFriday after work I was out for drinks to help celebrate one of my friend's birthday. T sometimes gives me a hard time when I'm out and she doesn't have her own plans. As the evening progressed, I sent her an occasional text message to check in and give her an update on where I was and what I was doing...

Posted on January 10, 2008
Down With High-DefT and I were at a stoplight last night, behind a car with a bumper sticker that read "StopHD.org". There was some small print underneath that was illegible to both of us, and I pointed out that the bumper sticker was rather ineffective, given that I had no idea what HD was and why I should want to stop it...

Hope RemainsI'd have a tough time arguing I'm not a pack rat. In my defense, I don't hoard or collect, I just make piles that I never get around to de-piling, and I have a tough time getting rid of things that have sentimental value to me - including e-mails...

iventureToday I take a musical and technological leap into the present. My fantastic parents bought me my first iPod for Christmas. T has volunteered to load my music onto my iPod for me, but because for the most part I only want certain songs from my CDs loaded, I'll probably do the actual loading myself...

Posted on January 05, 2008
We, Tonto?Mom and I went to a lame-ish Home and Garden show downtown today. (We had a good time doing some other things, too, but the actual "event" left a little to be desired - I think she'd agree!) While we were there and looking at one of the displays, she turned to me, looked at my face, and with wide eyes exclaimed, "Wow, we look really sallow!" Mind you, there was no mirror in sight, so the use of "we" was appreciated, but not accurate...
