REMEMBER ME?

Oh HAI! I haz a blog! Drrr… So, yeah, that happened! And lots of other stuff, too. Two weeks in Boston, working like a maniac and shopping/eating/playing every evening with a maple-syrup-drenched Vermont weekend which involved a much-too-short visit with Christina and my aunt & uncle went like a FREAKING FLASH! I literally cannot believe I am already back in Sweden. As the plane was taxiing to the terminal after a very smooth landing in the dark dark morning of Nordic a.m., I thought, “I just did this in reverse, like yesterday!” Only it was two whole weeks ago! We...

LEAVING ON A JET PLANE

What I really want to do at the end of a week like this is collapse, muddy & exhausted. But the adrenaline rush of the last several days…weeks, heck who am I kidding: MONTHS keeps me buzzing long after I should have. The to-do lists have been decimated, both at work and at home, and even though there is ALWAYS something still to be done, it will just have to wait: work, for Monday, and home, for when I get back from Boston. I’ve been so busy this week that I’ve not had a lot of time for noodling around...

PLACEHOLDERISH

Happy 10 10 10! I said that to Martin this morning and he said he was looking forward to 1 1 11 🙂 It’s a sunny day now, but it was freezing cold and foggy up until just a couple of hours ago. I wasn’t feeling well yesterday and did a lot of sleeping. Still feel a tickle in my throat but hoping I can stave off the worst with copious applications of chicken soup and Tylenol Cold medicine. Since we’re supposed to have dinner with friends tonight, I’d prefer not to be spreading any contagion. I was going to...

THUMBS UP THUMBS DOWN

Like: Sushi lunch today with brief_therapy Dislike: having a million meetings booked this week and next week at work. What gives? I NEVER have meetings! Like: my new boss seems pretty okay Dislike: except that I found out today she’s 10 years younger than me.* sigh Like: that I’m DONE calling, emailing and confirming all of the AWC members and can start finalizing the directory Dislike: the way LJ keeps acting up lately Like: Third Rock From the Sun reruns on Comedy Central Dislike: how many of my photos bounce when I try to upload them to Flickr Like: the...

ONE THING AFTER ANOTHER

UGH. I would like a weekend do-over, please. Except for the party I attended last night which was really fun and a huge success, this has not been a couple of days I’d like to keep. I’d rather hand them back in and get new ones, please. I’m the membership officer for the American Women’s Club and come September one of my responsibilities is to chase down membership fees for the new season and determine whether or not members are renewing. If they are, then I need to update their info in the printed directory, which I also handle (not...
