Happy New Year!

2009-01-02T04:02:03Z

I almost went to bed without writing anything today, not on paper, on my blog, nowhere. So, I had to jump online and just post a quick one. We celebrated Christmas with our friends today. My (very pregnant and due any day now) friend Bekki was ki...

Mom would have been so proud...

2008-12-30T03:24:07Z

At lunch today, I opted to escape my desk for a few moments and run some errands. I wanted to get some bins for Mr Potato Head pieces (which I did, only I don't like them and will bring them back tomorrow) and walked away with Christmas presents ...

I'm feeling uninspired. I have a lot of work to do. I ought to work on it. But I'm over it, I'm tired, and I want to call it a day. Except that I need to stay for at least another hour because I came in a bit late. Meh. Christmas cards are almost...

Busy weekend...

Christmas shopping

2008-11-14T22:06:46Z

I went Christmas shopping at lunch today with my friend and coworker, and we patroned a store that I normally don't frequent: KMart. It was interesting... See, in the world of Big Box stores, KMart is still positioned behind Target and WalMart. (...

The Art of the Regift

2007-12-20T16:01:30Z

I'm a regifter. I admit it. I think it's very difficult to not regift, only because I receive a lot of very nice gifts (usually from people who don't know me well) that aren't necessarily my taste and that I know someone else would like to have. ...
