Hubands are wonderful

Seriously. I had a terrible day at work today. It was kicked off by the inability to log on the the only program I need to actually, you know, do what they pay me for. So while I got to surf the wire/Web while for an hour and a half waiting for IT to call [...]

First real event

So today I had my first real event that I was completely in charge of putting on. It wasn’t a big thing — it was a ribbon-cutting and ground-breaking on a parking garage and streetscape downtown. It’s the kind of thing that will be a staple of my job — the “special projects” that I [...]

Done …

I’ve finished Italy, India and Indonesia … I loved Italy, liked Indonesia and India. Meditation is hard enough for me to do, much less read about. Seriously, it’s the hardest part of yoga class for me. Everyone else seems to love it, but I just get cold and itchy. But it’s a good book – [...]

Riding out the storm(s)

It’s late Monday and we’re now going on five or six hours of tornadic storms here in southwest Missouri. The TV weathermen have been on the air since 5. They’re down to their shirt-sleeves as of 11. Sirens blared for about three hours, but are off now. We’ve had three rounds of storms cells roll [...]

New Year’s hangover

Well, honestly, the hangover wasn’t that bad.  And New Year’s was nice and pretty low key, which I like. But I didn’t have time to buy/wear the sequin dress I’ve been lusting after. I guess there’s always next year.
Anyway, it’s Xmas present to Mo time. I saved my holiday cash from last year so I [...]
