That’s what the weekend did. It’s Sunday evening already, and it went WAY too fast. The AWC regional was a blast, so many wonderful women to meet and talk to and get motivated by (and motivate). The Gothenburg club did an absolutely super job of organizing the whole thing and hosting us. I saw a lot of old friends that I’ve met at previous regionals, and got to meet both reebert and darcymcgowan, yay! On the way home, Sharon and I talked about trying to start a writer’s group within the AWC. I warned her that I’ve tried several times...

Gone 3 days in Gothenburg with no computer time and I’m so behind on reading LJ and writing, I feel I’ll never catch up… ! More soon

Tree rainbow on parade, everything but blue. Low sun, autumn sunshine shadows, early morning mist and magpies on the roadside. Dewdropped spiderwebs like liquid lace. A bank of lavender and cotton clouds low on the horizon pretending to be mountains. I’m fall-struck. Lots of people in Flyinge have outdoor cats as we’re “out in the country” and there are regulars along the street that leads to the daycare and school parking lot. It’s only 30 KPH on the street and that’s a good thing, as there are always children and kittens to watch out for. I regularly see black and...

Have packed most of my bag for leaving from work tomorrow for Gothenburg, still waiting on a load in the dryer. Anders & I just made the unpleasant discovery after a look at the bank account that it’s tighten-the-belt-straps-no-fun-or-extras again this month. 🙁 sigh. Anders gets really upset when I tell anyone our money worries, but I have to talk about it, otherwise it eats me alive. Anyway, this means I can’t go to Arkivet in Gothenburg as I had hoped, but figure it’s my due punishment for all the lovely paper and stamps I purchased over the last month...

This was pretty damn funny. This was, too.

Just got handed a fun project to do at work, which makes 2 out of 4, substantially upping the fun quotient. You’ll probably think I’m nuts when I reveal that the fun project is a catalog for our customer’s baseband and radio technology products, LOL! But it’s layout work and not dicking around with a database or recreating web pages in a pain-in-the-ass intranet platform. I haven’t wanted to BE at work lately, much less do anything of worth to earn my salary while there. I want to be home working on my collage book or playing on the computer...

October is a prankster, a con man, a swindler and a liar. If October tells you your shoe’s untied, don’t look down. If October whispers the name of a certain stock, don’t buy it. If October shakes your hand, check your wallet. October wants you to believe that the sunny days of summer weren’t all that good, that August was too hot and it rained all of July. October wants you to appreciate the sparkling afternoons and the brisk mornings, the colors of the leaves and the taste of caramel apples. October wants to pull the wool over your eyes...

hahahahahahahaha!!!

AWC evening, and it ain’t over yet. Been calling people to find out if they’re renewing so that I can finish the directory. Finishing up the final touches on the website. Final changes on the presentation for tomorrow’s meeting and getting it loaded onto Anders’ laptop. Printed piles of papers today to take with me, including meeting programs, calendars, ballots, treasurer’s reports and newsletters. Still have to make sure I have everything in my “meeting bag.” We got Martin’s school pictures today and they came out GREAT! I’m very happy with them, just wish they’d include more of the bigger...
