Friday night, I bailed on civilization, and instead spent the evening reading in bed and watching reruns (though Joan of Arcadia was on, and I hadn’t seen that particular rerun, and it was good). I stayed up later than perhaps would have been responsible, except that I had a 3-day weekend ahead of me and …keep reading

I am so glad I didn’t go out today until 2:30 (not even for coffee) – it’s 80* out, and I’m sure that if I had known that earlier I would have had a hard time not leaving early (especially since for the last few hours I’ve been catching up on PBS and doing the …keep reading
Sometimes I find it so strange the issues which move my heart the most: AIDS, international adoption being two. They seem like such unlikely crusades, if that’s the right word, and I have no idea why they pull at my heart and break my soul. Reading Welcome to Sarajevo has been an incredibly emotional experience, …keep reading I’m feeling quite brilliant at the moment. I figured out, with the help of a book and the built-in help, how to combine 12 spreadsheets into one, automate the date function so that entering it in one cell fixes all 12 spreadsheets, and created a macro to print just those 12 spreadsheets (there’s another …keep reading There it went, so quickly. And it ended so poorly, if this morning before work is considered weekend. But that’s later. Had my last Sunday at yesterday, complete with cake and presents. More gifts to follow on Wednesday at the picnic, most likely. I turned in my keys and my credit card. …keep reading
Is it strange that I find this attractive (see below for quote)? “I spent the better part of an hour last night on myspace.com listening to the Audioslave record, then trying to figure out how to get my hands on the music. Not cause I’m such a frickin hacker but more to see if I could …keep reading I don’t really like new things. I could do without many of them – they stress me out, at least the ones I have to experience alone. Today I have to take a bus I haven’t before, and it’s an express where you pay at the end (according to ) which I haven’t …keep reading So, my weekend was pretty busy. Friday night I went straight from work to meet for dinner. I’m very happy that the express bus takes me right from downtown to within four blocks of the Rock (church). didn’t get my email, so he didn’t meet us at Chipotle, and we …keep reading “I must study politics and war, that my sons may have the liberty to study mathematics and philosophy, geography, natural history, and naval architecture, navigation, commerce, and agriculture, in order to give their children a right to study painting, poetry, music, architecture, statuary, tapestry and porcelain.” -John Adams (2nd US President) By Saturday, I couldn’t wait anymore. It had been four months since I got a haircut, and Friday night after church I walked past the new salon at the end of my street and memorized their phone number. I called Saturday and scheduled an appointment for that afternoon. Not until after it was all set …keep reading Went for a little walk yesterday – ended up going just over 4 miles. My feet were very tired by the time I got home. I went down to the Minnesota History Center, since it was the last day for the exhibit on the American Presidency. It wasn’t what I thought it …keep reading
So last night in youth group, the adults and kids met, sans moi, and prepared a time so the kids could get to share memories etc with me before I leave (since next week a lot of kids won’t be there and then the following week is our end of year picnic and last event). …keep reading |
