Tell-Tale Sign of the Holiday Season
Posted on 13. Nov, 2007 by Deb.
I go through airport security lines at least twice a week.
I know the drill very well. Take my laptop out of my briefcase. Remove my jacket and my shoes. Place the quart-sized zip lock bag containing my carry-on toiletries (all under three ounces) separately in the plastic bin. [...]

The Beginning of a Typical Week
Posted on 12. Nov, 2007 by Deb.
Though it’s officially a holiday, it’s the regular beginning to a typical week. School was in session, so after dropping kids, it was time to start getting things caught up around the house. I did a quick CostCo run…. finished a book, did a book review, caught up on some work emails….
I travel tomorrow, and [...]

Veteran’s Day Thoughts
Posted on 11. Nov, 2007 by Deb.
Over the last year and a half, I have spent an average of five or more days a month in the Washington, DC area. I’m the kind of person that just talks to people when I’m waiting in line….or polite to those who begin a conversation with me as I sit at the bar…
Some of [...]

11th Hour…11th Day….11th Month
Posted on 11. Nov, 2007 by Deb.
Armistice Day ended “The Great War” on Nov. 11, 1918. One year later, President Wilson proclaimed the first US Celebration of Armistice Day:
“To us in America, the reflections of armistice Day will be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country’s service and with gratitude for [...]

So….when I travel…
Posted on 10. Nov, 2007 by Deb.
I like to watch people when I travel -and what people do to pass the time. Lots of folks sleep -and I’ll admit I am subject to the occasional dozing myself. The use of personal DVD players - and movies on laptops has increased…. But I also see lots of folks that [...]

If you were reading me before I deleted the old entries and started fresh…(of if you know me well) you would know that The Pilot Guy lost one of his best friends on 9/11. One thing that I have learned about him was that no matter how long time passes, he will never get [...]

Love Affair
Posted on 08. Nov, 2007 by Deb.
I have a love affair with Our Nation’s Capitol…. Washington D.C.
My first trip here was in 1985 on a trip with other kids between my Junior and Senior years of high school. I was chosen as an American Airlines Scholar…they chose a Jr from each area school. I enjoyed the visit, and in [...]

Double Standards
Posted on 07. Nov, 2007 by Deb.
I am wishing I had more consistent readers right now - ones that would provide comments and feedback.
Today was full of meetings. With this contract, I am one of only 3 women consistently in our meetings. And yes, I admit (and not in a conceited way) that I am the most attractive. [...]

Happy Wednesday
Posted on 07. Nov, 2007 by Deb.
It’s an absolutely beautiful day here in Missouri. This morning it was 26 degrees and clear. Now, it’s about 45…
I love fall. The leaves are a mix of orange and green and gold.
I am feeling…very, very, blessed.

Procrastinators-R-Us
Posted on 06. Nov, 2007 by Deb.
I don’t know when it happened to me - but I’ve become a huge procrastinator. I wasn’t like this in my teens (I always turned my research projects in early). And in my early twenties (pre-kids) my Christmas Cards were addressed and in the mail the day before Thanksgiving.
What brought up this confession right this [...]

NaBloPoMo 2007
Posted on 05. Nov, 2007 by Deb.
What the heck is NaBloPoMo. Sounds almost pornographic, doesn’t it?
National Blog Posting Month was inspired by National Novel Writing Month. The idea is that you make a blog post every single day of the month - weekends included.
Both have a great idea behind them - to get folks like me to just [...]
