I feel witty…

No.  I do not feel witty.  I do not feel pretty, either.
I feel like a lump.  Bah.  No humbug, just a bah.
Why, oh why, did I not set my last day as 12/23????
ugh.
It’s not quite 7pm on a Monday night and here I am, heading for bath and bed already.  I hate being tired and [...]

The final week

A week from tomorrow I’ll be finishing my final day at the software company.  It’s a mixed set of feelings I’ve got right now.  I don’t want to imply I have doubts, because I don’t.  It doesn’t change the fact that I’m leaving people that I’ve worked with and that represents a connection, even though [...]

ahhh, sweet relief

I had more blog ideas than time today.  In the end it was finishing up my final that won out.  What a relief.  Unfortunately, while I was trying to save during my final I was getting network timeouts.  ARGH.  So the system told me it took 101 minutes to do the final – um. yeah. [...]

Saturday Night

Down to one final and I’m done with my class.  I’ll get a 3 week break until my next class, something I really need right now.
It hit me today…   Right now, even with all the stress and the ridiculous life of us as grown-ups being students while raising young children… right now, this is the [...]

I’m fascinated by small spaces.  Being so incredibly tight on money, I often wonder if there isn’t a way we could make it work in a small space.
Then I look at the boys and our giant (sort of) dog.
And the music studio/study.
Yeah.  Right.
But it’s a nice thought that there are ways to make a space [...]

stupid cough

Kids gave me a nasty cough.  I sound like a harbor seal.  This is not fun.
Anyway.  I got the hiring paperwork done today.  Then I wandered over to see my friends at the college where I used to work.  I figured I didn’t want to debit card 0.50 so I’d take the time to visit.  [...]

slightly pathetic

Oh yeah.  This one blows my mind.   Even with the pay cut I’m taking to go to my new place I’ll be netting close to the same I’m making now – BUT with one huge difference:  much, much better insurance.  Here’s the comparison on the insurance:
Current – per person deductible is $3000, although it is [...]

I was offered the position and I accepted it this afternoon.  They fought for a higher starting salary for me, so I didn’t have to negotiate for one – something that really sets a wonderful tone for the start of this new (and latest) adventure.
No qualms.  No fretting that this is bad for me as [...]

7 years ago…

I was sick, exhausted and amazed.  Bren was finally with us.  Todd was completely down with a horrible respiratory bug and living on egg nog lattes from Starbucks in the hospital.  (Yes, Starbucks is truly a part of our son’s birthday)
Brennan was long, cranky, and he had an opinion that was expressed loudly and at [...]

folly

No reason for the title.  I just like that word.
I’m tired.  No.  That’s not a surprise.  But what the hell, I might as well note it for the record. Here’s something else:  Philosophy has Egg Nog Shampoo, Bath Gel & Bubble Bath (it’s all one, in one container… not three separate items).   It smells like [...]
