who am I again?

It has taken all of two days for my universe to get sort of twisted around. Now, based on my record to this point, it shouldn’t take any longer than two more days to get twisted back. Until then, though, I have to deal with the sudden topsy-turviness of it all.
The first thing that got [...]

mental graffiti

I have a rock solid imagination. It’s been one of my most under-utilized traits over the years, and something I’m hoping to find an outlet for as I move further into the design parts of my job. But in my personal life, my use of imagination always has been off the charts.
I’ve come to realize [...]

not david chowder

Wow, such a good concert. I’m still recovering, so not quite ready for sleep yet.
One cool coincidence to start off: I was sitting in the row behind a coworker. Mind you, a coworker I’ve never spoken to, whose name I didn’t know until he told me after I’d asked if he worked there. =P But [...]

coolest calendar ever

I’m pretty much ready to submit my order right now.

quick, quick, slow

A brief entry because I have almost no interest in blogging these days…
Tonight was the first workout since before going home last month that I’ve managed to do the full 45 minutes on the elliptical trainer. Woo! I was very proud of myself. I ended up on there for 45 + a 7-minute cool down, [...]

industrious

Every time I see one of those books of baby names and their meanings, I look up “Emily,” hoping the root will be something different than in every other book I’ve checked. But it never is: industrious; to thrive or excel. I never really thought that suited me very well, honestly. I don’t know what [...]

well, I tried

Speed dating got canceled due to lack of turnout. They changed the venue at the last minute from The Melting Pot to a local comedy club, so we had a total of 5 people show: one short guy, one older woman and a pair from Mississippi who drove 2 hours just to end up going [...]

spend thrift or thrifty spender?

Some might say I’m both. Most of the time, I’m extremely miserly, worrying about the few dollars’ difference between a $7 and a $10 lunch out with colleagues. But when I am in the mood to shop, it’s like a spree. Yesterday, for example, I spent more than $200. Granted, $30 of that was on [...]

oh, tears

Really, really hoping it’s PMS. I think I wrote that sometime last month – or was it the month before? Either way, now that it’s getting colder outside, and I’ve been living in a place without friends for an even longer period, I have that lingering fear that it’s depression that’s making me cry, not [...]

buttercream frosting

That’s what’s on my mind at the moment – I just finished icing a dozen and a half cupcakes for a potluck cookout this afternoon. The 1980s singles group from Hope Church is putting it on, the last of my church-related activities this weekend. Yesterday was the Hope blood drive, 5:30 service and attempt at [...]
