geekery
April 28, 2006
"I took this test (found via Angie) and only missed two- number 6 (why is the sky blue?) and number 9 (what is the oldest fossil discovered?) I rocked the other questions though… looks like that biology degree is paying off, even though I no longer use it in my day job. heh. More posts like [...]"
and the excitement builds
April 27, 2006
"Right now, I am holding in my lap: 1. Two complimentary travel bags from Go Ahead Tours. 2. Final accomodation information: THIS IS OUR HOTEL. 3. Two plane tickets to Rome. ROME, PEOPLE. WHOLLY CRAP THIS IS REALLY HAPPENING. WE’RE GOING TO ITALY! The next 16 days are going to go so freaking slow. More posts like this: baby steps (pun [...]"
just like that…
"Just when I think I’m finally getting caught up, within 2 minutes of each other I get emails from clients who are ready to move on to the next step. And I thought I was going to have a peaceful weekend! ah, such is life. More posts like this: going through the motions May 6, 2006 work whining February [...]"
apparently I’ve got everyone fooled
April 26, 2006
"One of my female coworkers just called me to try to recruit me for the company co-ed softball team. She usually plays, along with another female co-worker, and both of them are VERY pregnant at the moment. So they are looking for some replacements. And she thought I WAS AN ATHLETE. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! How hilarious is that? She said [...]"
birthday haircut
" I got my haircut last weekend for my birthday, and I kept forgetting to post a picture of it. Previously, it was pretty much just long and straight.. now it’s long with some layers around my face. I was feeling a bit Marcia Brady with all the straightness! It was a new girl this time [...]"

"Hey yo- I’m getting tons of traffic on my site in the past few days, thanks to being listed on this site. I feel famous or something. Woohoo!

faking it
"Now that it’s getting closer to summer, I’ve become painfully aware of just how pasty-white my arms and legs are: VERY. Living in Pittsburgh and working in a cubicle on a computer for 8 or more hours a day, I don’t see much sun. It’s a sad fact, but it is a fact. So. My mom [...]"
I think I finally know which way is up again
April 23, 2006
"oh, where to begin? This weekend kicked our asses. Twice. Yesterday I spent all day cleaning… like SIX HOURS. I cleaned like I’ve never cleaned before… I even got up by the ceiling and dusted our ceiling fan in our bedroom, and dusted the tops of all of our hanging pictures. I hadn’t cleaned in 4 [...]"
I’m all about the random posts lately
April 21, 2006
"Friday Friday Friday Friday. How I love thee! I’m finally getting my birthday present tonight, only a week late, heh. I’m just hoping the rain holds off so we don’t have to load it into the truck while it’s pouring. We’re also going to dinner with Dan’s parents, who are generously letting us use their truck [...]"
questions
April 20, 2006
"This is one of those weeks where I question EVERYTHING. Why am I working 2 jobs? Are we really ready to have a baby this year? Why can’t I remember to scoop the cat box JUST ONCE during the week? Should I quit my job this summer? When did I start growing a moustache? Why do I feel like I’m stuck [...]"
tragedy
April 17, 2006
"Those of you who live in the Pittsburgh area have probably heard this horrible news story- a father and 2 of his triplets were killed last week in a freak accident involving a wood chipper hitting their van. The story caught my attention when it happened, and this morning I found out that the family [...]"
birthday recap
"Many thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes. It was a fantastic day- off work for Good Friday, so Dan and I headed to Oakland where I used to work and I had lunch at my favorite Thai restaurant with my old friends from the lab. Then we went to the mall where I spent [...]"

kind of all over the place
April 12, 2006
"I’ll tell ya what, it’s great to be back to feeling normal again. I can EAT FOOD AGAIN. But now I’m feeling incredibly overwhelmed with getting caught up on all the things I let go while I was sick: cleaning my house, client emails and requests, dirty dishes, grocery shopping, etc. AAAH! Today at work we [...]"

night of misery
April 09, 2006
"Apparently whatever that sickness was I had on Wednesday was just a preview. I was up most of last night, throwing up, having the shakes and the chills and sweats, and basically JUST FEELING LIKE I WAS IN HELL. I broke my streak of not throwing up since I was 15… that’s 12 years. It [...]"
the big payoff
April 08, 2006
"As of next Friday when the bank information goes through (incidentally, also my 27th birthday) I will have paid off my car. I bought it two weeks after I graduated from college, before I even got my first paycheck, so that I could actually GO to my new job, since I didn’t have a car [...]"
question / answer #3
April 07, 2006
"I have some time to kill before the end of the work day on a Friday.. my brain is fried and I CANNOT work anymore. So, I will answer another question. This one is from Melissa: What is your biggest hope and your biggest fear about becoming a parent? My biggest fear is probably the same as [...]"
searching for ‘builder’
"Yeah, those pictures of half-naked men I mentioned in my last post? This one takes the cake. I’M JUST TRYING TO FIND PICTURES APPROPRIATE FOR A CUSTOM HOME BUILDER’S WEBSITE. Like a guy in a hard hat or something. More posts like this: oh hai. pleez halp me? August 23, 2007 embarrassing is… April 7, 2006 not much to say, [...]"
embarrassing is…
"… when you’re searching stock photography sites at work for a new project you’ve been assigned, and you use the search term ‘builder’.. and about the first 10 results are HALF-NAKED, SHINY, MUSCLEY MEN. You just hope no one walks by your desk at that precise moment. More posts like this: these people are SCUM March 10, 2008 searching [...]"
question / answer #2
"I’m still answering questions, so if you think of something, add a comment and I’ll respond in a post. :) Sandy asked: What’s your favourite indulgence? And you’re not allowed to say “not working”, or something. :p hm…ÂÂ� indulgence. My favorite personal indulgence would have to be playing video games. Seriously. I know it’s dorky and not [...]"
brain boil
April 06, 2006
"Yesterday I had a weird stomach bug that kept me home from work. It started Tuesday night and didn’t really end until around lunchtime today. It was complete with fun trips to the bathroom, chills/sweats, and a horrible headache. AND SO TIRED. And now… I have period cramps. Let me tell ya, I feel AWESOME [...]"
naked day
April 04, 2006
"Tomorrow is the First Annual CSS Naked Day. I only recently started trying my hand at all-CSS designs, trying make my content and design separate, and creating semantic markup, all that techno-geek-speak. It’s been interesting moving from tables and sliced images to divs and unordered-lists and background images. But am I ready to display my [...]"
question / answer #1
April 03, 2006
"Okay… getting started with the questions. Laura asked three (overacheiver! hehe ;) ) What is your favorite office supply? Good Lord, I have no idea. The computer? Is that an office supply? It is for me.. I do everything on there, including banking and stuff now. I’d have a hard time choosing in a fire whether to [...]"
tears in my eyes
"Well thanks to Ehle, I’m at my desk at work CRYING. This is just HILARIOUS. I don’t even think I need to elaborate on it.
