The Artist Formerly known as “me”…back as Herself
I’m at the airport…..it’s one of those weeks….busy - but those who know me best know that I prefer to be busy.
Last weekend, I worked and read. This weekend, I worked on stuff that no one will see the results of for a month or so. It’s one of those things - what many folks [...]
My creative spell from the weekend is suddenly gone.
Sometimes, I think that the logical and creative sides of the brain are separate. As I’ve gotten older, the separation seems to be broader. See, when I go through long hours of my logic side, my creative side shuts down….and then, it’s hard to get it kick [...]
My clothes are basically laid out but they aren’t seeming to hop into my suitcase on their own. I guess I should be packing.
I think I may have actually worked too much this weekend. Though the dog has loved me being home and pretty much in one place, I’ve spent the majority of time [...]
I thought I’d check the news before I dug into some work….and was struck by this photo:
Two of the three candidates look…more well rested and ready to face the world than they have been looking.
There has been a lot of talk about how McCain’s health was affecting him….and while he has aged since the last [...]
I’ve been a Tarot.Com subscriber to my horoscope for the last 5 or 6 years. I’m one of those skeptical believers, if that makes sense.
For today:
Do whatever it takes now to fulfill the promises you made. Over the next few weeks, the Sun in your 10th House of Status can emphasize your obligations at [...]
I have to admit I’ve gotten pretty tickled over several things the last day or two.
On the phone with an (unnamed) girlfriend…we were talking about…kids. And their bathroom habits, etc. And she utters “I’ve been constipated since the birth of my oldest child” to which I totally lose it and laugh. And [...]
The journey I’ve been on has been certainly has been leading me to spending my time on things that I enjoy. I want more from my life than just going to work and coming home. I want things that feed my intellect…speak to my creative soul….and challenge my gypsy leanings.
All Things Girl [...]
I love to travel….but as Dorothy learned in her visit to the Wonderful World of Oz…..
There is No Place Like Home.
I’m home. I don’t leave until Monday to go back to the MO/KS/OK area. I have a pile of work to get caught up on….but somehow, there is just nothing like sitting at [...]
Today was one of those days that just fell into place. I think it’s because it started well in that I got the best sleep I’ve had in ages. Yes, I am traveling. No, I haven’t suddenly started sleeping well in hotels. My main client - who is building [...]
I confessed something to the Pilot Guy the other day. We were doing the typical negotiation of your schedule VS my schedule VS family responsibilities VS desire. I had an opportunity to make a quick visit and while my heart wanted to go, my head prevailed, and I told him not this time.
It’s one of [...]
It still amazes me how much sheer time is involved in travel planning. I was at my desk at 7 AM this morning…and at 8:30, I realized I still had some things to follow up on.
It’s the whole coordination thing. Flight. Hotel. Car. And waiting on a client to confirm [...]
I grew up breathing devotion to the Dallas Cowboys. During the days that Tom Landry was the coach….and Roger Stabach was the quarterback….Sundays revolved around watching the game. But, since Jerry Jones purchased the Cowboys…the shine simply fell off of that silver star….
Now, when it comes to games, I don’t watch religiously…but [...]
Over at the Elliot.Org blog, there was a discussion about TSA and the searching a 5-year old from Seattle. It went on to discuss the screening of nuns in full habit (from a photo on Flickr showing a Nun being searched).
So, in Amsterdam recently, a gent in full priest garb refused to be searched….saying he [...]
So, as soon as I landed Thursday night, I meet one of my oldest (as in known the longest - not age - lol) clients for dinner. Of my clients….I have to say that his the first one I felt this instant connection with. One of the novels I have rolling around in [...]
Pour Your Heart into It : How Starbucks Built a Company One Cup at a Time by Howard Schultz
I’ve been a Starbucks fan since the first Starbucks in my area opened up….which was about ten years ago. It was during a time I was in full-force “have it all” mommy mode. Katie had [...]
