If you’re seeing this post, I’m offline. I’m writing this Friday afternoon, when the forecasts are all predicting Irene is blowing into town for a whirlwind visit (so to speak). There’s a chance I’ll be offline due to power outages – we get them during small thunderstorms, so I don’t expect miracles here. So in…

Open Thread: Your Extremes
Off early this morning to have a play date with a writer friend, then back to brace for Irene. So let’s end the week with a fun exercise. What’s the most you’ve ever earned on one project? You can give percentages or XXXXs, if you’d rather. What’s the least you’ve earned? What was the experience…
Weekends, Movie Oddities, and Mondays
How was your weekend? Mine was actually refreshing. We spent Saturday morning at a house sale that netted us some amazing, beautiful things at real bargain prices. We piled two chairs, gorgeous window coverings, crystal glasses, and some plates into the convertible and sped home to meet my friend, who’d come to show us her…
Weird Days and Fridays
Wow. Two articles done this week. I’m beginning to feel a bit robotic in my output. Not a bad thing – yet. I’d hate to keep up this pace. As it was, I finished the article at 5:30. And I got up from the computer wanting to exercise outside, but at 88 degrees and about…
Monday Marathons
She’s employed! Daughter has finally found a good starting point for her new career. She’s working in a familiar industry – insurance – and she’s getting in at a great starting rate. Amen, alleluia! Good for her! Ironically, it’s a company I met with briefly at the conference a few months back. Since then I’ve…
Smooth Landing
It’s great to be back. I hope I left enough to entertain you until I returned. I knew before I left I hadn’t done a post for yesterday, but I was exhausted, out of time, and just out of ideas. I’ve found a way to overcome that “I need a vacation to recover from the…
More Head-exploding Things
Hop on over to Get Paid to Write Online and read my guest post. I’m still on vacation, hopefully with a cozy camping spot, but I wanted to share some of my more intriguing finds this past week. Here are some more things that make my head explode: Rules that make no sense whatsoever. It…
Things That Make My Head Explode
It was a good work day yesterday. I stuck to my plan, which was to concentrate on my larger project in the morning and get some new queries out in the afternoon. I received an assignment from a magazine I hadn’t contacted, so that was a nice bonus. I like when they have topics and…
Good Monday
Friday’s temp(Reading from the thermometer sitting outside – in the shade) Busy weekend. We spent much of it in the basement, the temperatures being just part of the reason. Actually, I guess you could say it was the entire reason. We were trying to get more AC to flow upstairs into the northern-facing rooms. Oddly,…
Beautiful Day
Forgive me now – I’m working on about 5 1/2 hours of sleep. If I ramble more than usual it’s because I’ve nodded off mid-sentence. The U2 concert last night, in a word, was magnificent. Truly. Only one other time have I left a concert feeling deeply moved, and that was Santana, whom you might…
