boo!
October 31, 2005
"Today at work we had a Halloween ‘party’, complete with costumes and prizes (no word on the winner yet!) I took the high road and brought fake poop in a box. Yeah, I’m that classy. Any day where adults can wear makeup and slippers and fake eyelashes and carry wands and brooms and fake poop around is [...]"
itchy
October 27, 2005
"Today is one of those days where I’m itchy. Restless. Bored. I can’t concentrate. Don’t want to do work. Don’t want to play, either. Waiting for… something. Except I don’t know what. Or maybe I do and I am just afraid. I feel like my skin is crawling sometimes, I just want to GO. We get used [...]"

"An email I just got from my husband: hello little Newman, have a nice day today… Just so you are aware after my test on Monday I will be kicking off a new campaign called bother Jennifer. I hope you can donate some of your time into this campaign as I am really excited about it. [...]"

"Dear Weather, This is really not necessary. Really. October is the first full month of autumn. AUTUMN. Not winter. When I wake up on an October morning, I expect it to be cool, with a nice crisp sunrise, and maybe just a hint of frosty dew on the grass. NOT HUGE CHUNKS OF SNOWFLAKES covering the ground. It’s [...]"
such a disappointment
October 20, 2005
"I have always been proud of my teeth. Okay actually.. not always. But I’d say from 9th grade until now- after I got my braces off at 14, my teeth were straight, white, and cavity/filling-free. On Tuesday, I went to the dentist. I am a very, very bad girl and had not been to the dentist [...]"

".. is finally being able to walk to the computer desk without slipping on the pile of month-old “need-to-file” papers that have accumulated on the floor.

"I just realized that it’s been just over a year since I launched Inksplash. October 12, to be exact. I’m actually kind of sad I forgot it last week… heh I was spending the day in the car driving to Charleston SC for 11 hours, you’d think it would have popped into my head at [...]"
reality bites
October 17, 2005
"The worst part about vacation: coming back. blah. The weekend was awesome and I truly relaxed. I didn’t think about work at all! Although I did check my email a few times… Dan brought his laptop and we had internet in our room, and I just couldn’t resist. I didn’t really read anything, I just sorted [...]"

"I’m on vacation… I’m on vacation… la la la la la… la la la la la…. We leave tomorrow morning for Charleston South Carolina for our college friend’s wedding. Do you know what the weather is like there right now? huh? DO YOU?!? Well I’ll tell you. (or take a look at this.) It’s gorgeous. Sunny. [...]"

"Can we say ‘cluster-EFF’? Stupid project at work (the ‘real’ job) dealing with an outside designer programming forms. Simple right? Not when the template she created is layer after layer of images and weird table structure, created and sliced in Fireworks… so bad that it seriously took me about 45 minutes last week to figure out [...]"
awkward much?
October 10, 2005
"argh- Today in the mail was a letter from my bank saying that a check I cashed a few weeks ago from a client was denied due to ‘NSF’ (non-sufficient-funds) EEK! So now I had to email the guy and tell him his check bounced! A little awkward… and a bit embarrassing for him. I [...]"
doth I protest too much?
"I pretty much have my email open all day at work, so when I get messages, I usually read them immediately. Sometimes, I’m afraid to respond right away so I will wait.. 5, 10, sometimes 20 minutes. I don’t want people to think I’m that big of a loser that I sit there, waiting for email [...]"

"1. There is a burnt-out lightbulb in our bathroom. It’s been like that for weeks. I have a replacement bulb in the closet but can’t seem to get around to changing it. 2. I am just now posting my fireworks photos from the Fourth of July. 3. The bathroom trash can overflows onto the floor and my [...]"
friday forum
"Yeah I know I’ve been scarce… not much to say, really. And not much time to say anything anyway. So in lieu of a decent blog entry, here’s this week’s Friday Forum. 1] What is your family like? How would you describe them? Do you come from a large family or a small one? In a [...]"

"Ten minutes till I get to go home go grocery shopping. So why not do a meme? TEN YEARS AGO… I was a junior in high school, dating some boy named JR who drove a white Camaro, and my best friend was a girl named Heather. I was just learning to drive and I wanted to [...]"

"5 hours of yard work today (with an hour break in the middle for lunch) The good news is I got all of my plants dug up, divided, and replanted where I wanted them. My side flower bed is now weed-free and nice and clean. I wanted to take advantage of the nice weather and [...]"
