Friday Fun

  1. What is the best thing that happened to you personally this past year? A lot of really great things happened in 2005, but I think at the top of the list is leaving that job. I’m so much more relaxed and happy, and have time for all the other wonderful things that happened after …keep reading

THE MORE OR LESS EDITION

  1. Time: Comparing the last 365 days to the previous 365, do you have more, less, or about same amount of free time on your hands? If more or less, what changed over the last year? Much more free time, since I’m only working 40 hours a week these days. Things have …keep reading

Question of the Day

If you were an entry in the dictionary, under which word would people find you?

Because I used it (aka “looked it up” yesterday) and it seems appropriate…

loquacious

I seem to have lots of words to share these days. Not important words, or even words that when strung together make tons of sense. But words nonetheless. I’ve …keep reading

Play Along!

If you’ve got even just a spare 30 seconds at work today, you should visit this site and make your own paper snowflake. (, you’d really like this!)

Here’s mine:

Well That's Nice

Already this morning I’ve been asked how my weekend was, and I was able to say without hesitation, “good!” enthusiastically and really mean it. It was a good weekend and I was happy enough at several points for others to point out that I looked happy.

Friday night came over and we watched A Charlie …keep reading

Monday Madness

  1. Name 1 toy you owned when you were younger, that meant a lot to you. I had a wonderful teddy bear (named “Teddy”) until I was, like, 12 (when he got lost – otherwise I’d still own him, and probably still sleep with him when things get rough). He had his eyes replaced twice (once …keep reading

Four For Friday

  1. Saturday Night Live: Last Saturday, Alec Baldwin guest hosted Saturday Night Live for the 12th time. Who, out of anyone either dead or alive, would you like to see host an upcoming episode of SNL? I’d like to see Sean Connery, because they make fun of him all the time, and I like it when …keep reading

Five on Friday

  1. How many books do you read per month? How many are for work/school? One or two, depending on the nature of the books (Jane Austen takes longer to read than average fluff). I don’t read books for work unless I’m at work, and that’s rare (though I talk about it here when I do – …keep reading

Breakup Babe

Fantastic post here [link removed]. Reminded me of me. And (humorously though not so glamorously so, more like the average girl/boy-next-door version rather than the Manhattan version). Did that make sense at all? I’m losing my ability to speak/write clearly – I blame my broken blog. I dreamt last night that I …keep reading

Cause and Effect

I have discovered several causes of wardrobe malfunction. Long strides (really, all walking in general) and going up stairs. Oh yeah. And for anyone who thinks a garter belt would solve that problem – you obviously haven’t tried to use one. I will have to apologize to for scoffing at her hatred of them. …keep reading

Quote

Heard this at the very end of a movie last night, but it seemed to me more of the beginning of a story:

I got lost once on a road very similar to this.

My own little army

So I made up the gingerbread men last night (and a few gingerbread angels/ladies). They are kinda dry, and I’m not super-happy with the recipe, but they turned out cute anyways and make me happy to look at them.

Here's the whole army

One of these things doesn't belong… (I was short a …keep reading
