Several very separate thoughts

Tuesday, March 29th, 2005

My heart goes out to all the families who are once again affected by another large earthquake in the islands around Indonesia. It’s so sad that another disaster has struck the same spot again. Our prayers go out to Michael Cady’s father who is over there helping with the tsunami relief effort. We believe they [...]

The second most fattening holiday

Sunday, March 27th, 2005

Easter! The first is Christmas…for me that is. Peter and I went to my favorite store, Target, and picked out Easter candy. We were intending to buy for our first and only born, Molly. The night didn’t pan out that way. We bought at least $40 worth of candy…all for Peter and I. Recees eggs, [...]

Weekend getaway summary

Tuesday, March 22nd, 2005

Our weekend getaway was cut short Sunday because I woke up at 4:30 am with the nasty stomach virus. I dragged myself out of bed and into the shower at 7:00 to make it to church just so I could see Molly. But I didn’t actually make it into church – I made it into [...]

Weekend getaway

Saturday, March 19th, 2005

We’re headed to a weekend getaway to none other than…Tulsa! I know, it’s not very far and not as cool as Dallas but we need to get away. We’re dropping Molly off at Peter’s parents and then Peter and I are heading to the Doubletree Hotel for a weekend of R&R. This is the first [...]

Would you like a little cheese with that whine?

Wednesday, March 16th, 2005

Today, I’m breaking down to tell the sob story of my life…as if you didn’t know it already.

I’m stressed. I work too much. I stay up too late…working. I can’t say no. I’m exhausted all the time. I’m behind in projects. I barely have enough time to take care of my daughter and that should [...]

Wow. This should win an award…or something.

Monday, March 14th, 2005

Not only did I stumble across one of the worst looking websites EVER, but I found a one of a kind Braum’s 101 photo album by “Vickey.” What a deal! It’s like a 2 for 1. My favorite part of the photo album was all the employee pics with cigarettes in their hands. Now…was that [...]

SuperCheap SuperFreak

Monday, March 14th, 2005

I’m not sure if I wrote about this before but I found the most cost-effective stock photo website that actually has decent stock photos – iStockPhoto.com. I’m talking dirt cheap people. $2-3 a pop. Now that’s my kind of language. Being a freelance graphic designer part-time, I run into problems finding good photos and frankly, [...]

Top Ten Signs You're a Perfectionist

Disturbings

Wednesday, March 9th, 2005

Two disturbing things happened tonight:

1.) Watching WB’s “The Starlet” which featured a mimicking a seduction scene from FastLane (if you’ve seen it, then you know what I’m talking about.)

2.) Coming to the realization that I suck – at least lately. Trying too hard to come up with a brilliant campaign for the MBA program has [...]
