Boo!

T.G.I.H (Thank Goodness It’s Halloween!)
Oh, yeah – and it’s also Friday.
I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.   What a long, crazy week it’s been!   To recap briefly:
1.) Sudden re-appearance of the job opportunity that I didn’t get hired for previously.
2.) Pressure by multiple parties to reapply
3.) Series of long, challenging interviews.  (Which [...]

Jones-ing

The other day I shared about my upcoming trip to West Pokot, Kenya.  (Actually – we’re not sure if we’ll be in East or West Pokot, but we think it’s West this year.  Flexibility is key here!)
I also mentioned that it is less than 40 days away.  37 or 36 days as of today, depending [...]

I scream for Fried!

Beth and I decided to go South-of-the-Border for our latest I Scream 08 sampling. We split a fried ice cream at Grand Azteca after New Community last Wednesday. (yes, I am a posting slacker, thankyouverymuch).
Yum! I am a huge fan of the stuff. Not only is there Ice cream! But [...]

I Scream summer

For the second year, my friend Beth and I have set a summer challenge for ourselves.  But we tend to have a slightly off-center mind set compared to most people we know.
The average person wants to exercise more, or look great in a bathing suit, or travel somewhere exotic… 
Those goals are all good and noble.  [...]

Thursday update and mosaic answers

Know what I think is pretty awesome?  Electricity.  Oh – how I do miss thee!  I haven’t had power since last Sunday.  And while I’m surviving just fine, it’s beginning to wear on my nerves a bit.  The last two days have been pretty comfortable after the weather cooled off a bit.  But today and [...]

Monday Meme

Here’s a little something I picked up from Supertiff.  I thought it’d be fun to do while I was waiting on hold a few times today.
Here were her directions:
The concept:
1. Type your answer to each of the questions below into Flickr Search.
2. Using only the first page of results, pick one image.

The last good canoli

He said it felt strange
To be walking anywhere
not holding her hand.
 
Haiku for my great-uncle Jim.  He’s been married to my great-aunt for 40 years and it’s just so great to see them still walking hand in hand wherever they go.  We were out for a big family dinner when they visited this weekend.  Jim and [...]

party all the time

Yawn – I still feel like I’m on a rollercoaster – shooting from one thrill to another, never knowing what’s around the next turn. But I guess that’s part of the fun of living, right?
It’s been a very social couple of weeks, with an action-packed schedule. (so action packed, in fact, that I [...]

just resting…

Hello Innernets! It’s been a long, sleep deprived week. I apologize for the lack of posts!  It doesn’t help that I’ve had problems with my work computer crashing every time I tried to save or publish.
Sometimes I don’t really *heart* technology.
But back to some hawesomeness – and the reason I’ve been too pooped [...]

Marching one by one….

I stumbled into the kitchen this morning for a post-late-night fix and discovered this:

and this:

ew. ew. ew. I’ve seen a stray ant here & there over the last week or so, but this was a full on siege of my kitchen. I guess it is officially spring in Michigan now. It looks [...]
