Not enough hours in the day

2007-02-27T22:17:20Z

I love it when it's already after 5:00 and I realize I haven't even made a dent in my to-do list. Darn things keep popping up that have to be tended to! I think if I had a magical power ... it would be the ability to hold up my hands and say, "...

What a shame

2007-02-26T01:21:43Z

Sometimes, I'm reminded what a shame it is that I live by myself. For example ... I just whacked myself in the jaw/chin with my computer. (How? Talent.) And then proceeded to laugh at myself as I got up to go check myself in the mirror to mak...

Wintry musings

2007-02-25T17:00:24Z

I still find it magical to roll over in the morning and gaze out my window at falling snow. There's just something fascinating about snow; it's remarkably peaceful. Will the magic disappear after I've lived with it for a few years? I have no id...

Oxymoronica!

2007-02-21T03:41:12Z

For some reason, I felt like adding a few items to my booklist. Perhaps because I felt I'd had "Voting to Kill" and "Founding Brothers" up there by themselves for too long ... and that's not a very accurate representation of Erin-ness. My curren...

We came across a couple of wackos in the snow ...

Fortunately, I had my camera handy and we snapped a couple of photos of these weirdos. (P.S. My dad gave me that hat! It's "Life is Good" brand, which is one of my favorites -- so very cool. But me in a winter hat ... I look like a boy!! ...

I'm dreaming of a white ... President's Day ...

2007-02-18T21:21:31Z

My dad is in town for a visit this weekend, and lucky him -- he's getting to experience some serious northern weather. Granted, Virginia is not exactly "up north." But it's not Alabama. And we have snow up here. Lots of it. It started coming ...

2007-02-16T02:54:51Z

Wearing clothes that don't match. At all. I think it has something to do with the fact that I put so much thought into every other aspect of my life. Sometimes ... I like to take a little break ... and not care one hoot about what I put on my b...

Where's a voice recorder when you need it?

2007-02-13T03:31:04Z

If there ever was a time when I really wished I had a little digital recorder, THIS WAS IT! If you've ever ridden the Metro, you know that the train conductors call out the next station, which side the doors are opening on, if it's a transfer poi...
