Go to Disneyland. I’m serious!
I’ve had a plan to meet up with out-of-state friends at Thanksgiving in California with part of my family’s time spent in the Land of the Mouse. We go every two years. However, my calculations were based on what I was earning at the time I made the decision. Due to [...]

Every new “Today” seems more anxious than ever. Do you find more solace in “Yesterday” or “Tomorrow”? Why?
Solace: comfort in sorrow, misfortune, or trouble; alleviation of distress or discomfort.
Find solace in yesterday? No. Tomorrow? Tomorrow is probably what I need solace from, lol.
Today is as anxious as I allow it to be. It’s an old-fashioned [...]

It seems we’ve seen the last of Angelina Jolie pregnant in 2008. I don’t blame her for setting in with the kids for the summer while she awaits the birth of two more children.
It’s funny ‘cos in her younger incarnation Angelina Jolie was such a sex symbol to both men and women and wouldn’t you [...]

What to do with them?
From what I can gather many people are not venturing far as it is a party holiday that’s coming about as early as it comes–ever. Some folks don’t even celebrate unless you call gardening or DIY “celebrating.”
Spouse has to go to work 2 of the three days so bummer [...]

 
Just checked my gmail–there are 200 emails I need to attend to. Probably 20 I can delete right away–the rest are real.
I’m really happy that I sent out the virtual Mother’s Day cards as some of the recipients were really touched. I tried to pick the themes that best suited each woman, then wrote a [...]

I love the reasoning behind why we started to wear high heels–to avoid one another’s excrement!
My grandmother always encouraged us to go barefoot. Her son–my Dad– taught me to do the same though [...]

Yes, the weather was outstanding this weekend past and it continues to be now that the official work week has started.
I don’t have an “official” work week and at first I saw that as a bonus.
Lately though I’ve realized how much I work online and how little I’ve tending to things offline. Yesterday, I “forced” [...]

Wow.
Last night, just putting together onto a work days off grid for this summer for spouse, factoring in son’s Driver’s Education at the high school for the first half of summer ($350, which is actually less than what I thought the good teachers of this District would work for) and younger son’s monthly blood test [...]

 
Great news! Spouse finally finished our income taxes last night and we get a refund!
Also, he informed me that the silly Economic Stimulus Act 2008 “rebate” is going to really help towards vacation, as well as reminding me that his work bonus is being distributed in a month. In order of size we have Geo. [...]

I usually write about LOST stuff over here (another site of mine) but I just came across two stories as I was catching up on my pop culture and celeb news. Both used the same source– and they that say Dominic Monaghan and Evangeline Lilly are back together. This comes on the heels on them [...]

I see that WordPress 2.5 is available for download.
Without a doubt, I’m most excited about anything to do with new features for photo management.
I really need to get my hands on the built-in galleries because I haven’t found a single plug-in for WordPress.org that completely matched my needs but equally important, my skill level.
I’m not [...]

Wow!
Today has been exhilarating!
I believe it began last night at the Bruce Springsteen show and continued through today with a conference call with a high-profile developer for a high profile blogging system for which I’m on a consumer panel.
I suppose because I work on my own so much that it just feels great to collaborate [...]

Man, it totally has not helped that spouse brought home a bunch of Girl Scout Cookies including the new ones this year that I’d heard are good. And they are good. Damn it.
Just call me the Cookie Monster.
I wonder if they are still called Girl Guides in Canada. Let’s get them a [...]

It must be hormonal.
I am beside myself with anger and I just do not know where it is coming from. Strike that. I might know. The pressure of spouse working 7 -days a week doesn’t just fall on him. Everything he would be doing if he were working a “normal” week is falling either on [...]

Google’s might drove the shock bid

Microsoft wants to buy Yahoo in what analysts regard as a response to the seemingly unstoppable rise of Google.
The emergence of Google has been staggering for observers and threatening for established players in every market it has entered.
Microsoft’s response could level the playing field.
“This consolidates the marketplace down to [...]

Just when I was getting truly discouraged with the lack of work at my primary p/t employer, another, smaller company has thrown a few jobs my way. Boy, am I grateful!

Hey! It worked. I am happy, happy, happy!
I know I’m a bit behind the learning curve but I’m also not trained in any of this and just cobbling together what I can from where I can.
Though I’ve found some excellent resources, I’ve found way more bullshite than I could ever not wish for.
Honestly, it’s gets [...]
